News: A new title has arrived on the Nintendo Switch that features story-driven action with some handcrafted levels.

The Square Enix Collective has just released Forgotton Anne on the Nintendo Switch. Forgotton Anne is a seamless animated adventure, which takes players to the mysterious Forgotten Lands where all mislaid items from the human world are sent to linger. The game’s story-driven action is offset with handcrafted cinematic levels where the Forgotlings – creatures formed out of all of these missing items – help the trapped Anne find her way home. The result is a tale full of emotion that merges perfectly with Forgotton Anne’s 2D puzzle platforming play and its focus on dialogue choices.

“I think it’s safe to say a Nintendo Switch version of Forgotton Anne has been in our minds ever since we encountered ThroughLine Games’ amazing creation,” says Phil Elliott, Director of Indie Publishing at Square Enix. “We’re really excited to bring this outstanding ode to all things anime to an audience we think will really appreciate it. It really is one of the most stunning games we’ve ever put out.”

“It’s no secret that we want as many people to experience Anne’s story as possible, but this Nintendo Switch version has a special place in our hearts,” says Alfred Nguyen, Creative Director and Co-founder of ThroughLine Games. “Nintendo and anime are such logical bedfellows, we think bringing Forgotton Anne to Nintendo Switch is possibly one of the easiest decisions we’re ever likely to make in our careers.”

The game is available now on Nintendo Switch with a 10% discount for one week (November 9th – November 16th), regular price: £15.99/$19.99/€19.99).

Forgotton Anne is already available on Steam for £15.49/$19.99/€19.99, on Xbox One for £15.99/$19.99/€19.99, and PlayStation 4 for £15.99/$19.99/€19.99. Will you be picking it up on Nintendo Switch? Tell us what you think below.
