Microsoft and Moon Studios recently released on the Nintendo Switch, and the performance of the game on this console was excellent. What's more, the platformer plays even better on the Japanese console than on Xbox One and PC. game director Thomas Mahler commented on performance on the Switch and confirmed that the team has implemented optimizations created for the next part, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, in this version.
“Keep in mind that we have been working on our engine for 10 years, have gone through several launches and are preparing a sequel,” said the director of the game. “Many of the optimizations we made for Will of the Wisps also made their way into the Switch version of Blind Forest, so it’s a nice side effect of using an updated engine.”
“Another thing that people may not immediately notice is that the sprites in Ori were animated at 30fps on Xbox and PC, while on Switch we were able to improve the animation to 60fps per second thanks to all the optimizations, so technically Ori even animates smoother on the Switch than on other platforms,” he added.
According to the plot of Ori and the Blind Forest, after a devastating storm and subsequent terrible events, the forest of Nibel is on the verge of destruction. To save him, a little hero named Ori must muster up the courage to rise up against a mighty enemy. Hand-drawn landscapes, meticulously animated character movements, orchestral music, and a variety of skills all set the scene for a touching tale of love, sacrifice, and hope.
Ori and the Blind Forest was released on PC and Xbox One in 2015. The Definitive Edition, introduced in 2016, is now also available on Nintendo Switch. The next game is also announced for a fixed-portable console.
