I'm not sure what it is at all, really. I just got that info from a dev post here on GAF.

Brjann mentioned this an hour ago an the Nintendo Life review comments:
"and only a cool 100% unlocks the (unmentioned and) surprising post-game content that we've got in store for completionists."

Sounds like there's more game to be played after that 100%?

Hmmm, well I don't know. We'll have to wait and see.

Despite the game asking you to mine virtual currency, this doesn't require three overpriced RX 580s to run.

This is good.

Took me a minute, but this is really really good.

Sounds like

Spoiler

it'll involve Rusty, would be a nice surprise.

Wait and see~

How does it fare as a pure portable game? Does it lend itself to pick up and play/stop&go?

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Reddit doesnt like the icon

They are going to change it tho

 

[Poppyseed]

This 60fps on Switch? Any reason not to buy it on the Switch?

 

[oatmeal]

Hit the button Nintendo. Surprise us early!

 

[Iolo]

Ewww. It's nice that they are going to change it. Will buy this later.

 

[J@hranimo]

Damn, you guys are really hyping this up. So this is a Metroidvania-ish type game...will I find fun in it even without playing the previous games?

 

[wumster3000]

As deep as you want.

That reply...

 

[mandiller]

When does it go up? It’s 1pm on the 21st here in Australia and the eshop still lists it for the 21st.

You mean GAF doesn't like the icon.

 

[D_prOdigy]

Ah, release seemed to creep up on me. Fantastic.

Loved the first, loved Heist, looking forward to this. Can't remember the last new series that hooked me for 3 consecutive games

The Steamworld games???
This is as good a start as anywhere.

Ok! I'll keep it in my ever growing Switch backlog.

Of fucking course, like clockwork people start complaining about the icon. I bet they're saying it's reducing the enjoyment of the game too lol.

 

[Fireblend]

I think that's the icon for the review code version, isn't it? I'd be surprised if that was the icon the game was actually launching with. You people are getting ahead of yourselves.

They already said they were working on a new one a couple days ago.

 

[SirShandy]

This 60fps on Switch? Any reason not to buy it on the Switch?

Yes it is.

This is straight from an Image and Form developer:

" 2. Does the switch ver perform on par with pc/ps4?

Yes, 60 fps guaranteed on Switch and PS4. SWD2 will obviously run at 60 fps on a decent PC, but if my mom decided to play on hers I doubt she'd get 60 fps. I'd suggest looking at the minimum specs on Steam or the like! "

This was taken from the review thread.

 

[Renna Hazel]

Never played a Steamworld game and I'm not sure I'll enjoy this one but I think I'll give it a shot anyway. I'm not a Metroidvania fan but sometimes there are games in the genre I enjoy. Hopefully I don't spend too much time getting lost.

 

[IAmtheFMan]

Can't wait. The first was an out of nowhere gem (heh) that I adored.

 

[Poppyseed]

Brilliant. Switch it is.

 

[Incitemaybe]

I believe I read a bit earlier in the thread this is having a midnight release, anyone know?

If it was first party it would have released about 20 min ago. 3rd party in about 2 1/2 hours...

 

[jwillenn]

I hate having to miss day 1 of this, but I'm still playing Samus Returns. As soon as I finish it though...

It's releasing in 3.5 hours, if I'm not mistaken.

Little over 3 hours... damn it.

Fuckin' way too long.

:'(

 

[Biske]

Yeah was planning on staying up late to play this baby, but 2 AM aint happening.

[WordAssassin]

Switch or ps pro? Guess I'll wait a week and see what's the best experience on tv.

OP says that they both play at 1080/60, so it comes down to weather or not you care about HD Rumble and being able to play it on the go.

Better than the 12pm noon EDT we're used to for other indies.

Anybody know if there's a physical version planned?

Damn, those graphics are better than I initially thought.

Dude, that's not the game, it's a gif I found on the internet.

 

[jariw]

According to the Gamescom interviews, they are thinking about it (for the Switch at least), but nothing yet settled AFAIK.

Not sure if serious.

Hurry up time.

haha, fuck, i was planing on - straight after getting up - having a coffee and playing a bit of steamworld before heading to work a bit later (around 10am...) today.
Shame.

 

[xrnzaaas]

It's going to be a long wait until the PS4 release. I thought about replaying the original for the missing trophies, but I don't have only the annoying ones like for finishing without dying or finding all 19 secret areas. The sequel should have a platinum so I'll have more motivation to fight for them.

 

[kizmah]

I am sick and staying home from work and this and Thumbleweed park is dropping soon. Day is saved!

 

[DarkMaigle]

Just started Hollow Knight, gotta smash through that beautiful game before I pull the trigger here.

Isn't that the Quake I Remaster? Look at that rocket launcher!

Sorry to hear you're sick. Happy to hear you're sick!

Thanks. You know, I feel exactly the same.

50 min to go, right?
