Yep, the game is available in North America now.
And yeah, the current icon sucks. And yeah, Image & Form is updating it soon.

So, the game releases earlier in America than in Europe/Australia. That's not how time zones are supposed to work. But I guess it's just 35 minutes left for the NoE eShop.

Here's a spoiler free image running in handheld mode. The colours really pop off the Switch's screen.
Wow that looks great, they're really nailing the art style! I played Dig and Heist on the Vita, but I'm switching platforms for this. It's no OLED, but I still love how colourful games look on the Switch!

Switch screen is oversaturated compared to my KS8000 to be honest. But it does make for a vivid picture.
Well, it was only the 'overworld' that was (somewhat) procedurally generated, right?
The 'mini dungeons' / 'challenge rooms' were always designed.

Not up in UK yet? Can't buy it on the site.

Put in about half an hour so far and yeah, I'm really liking it. The game looks fantastic and has the same charm as the original. Really can't wait to have some time to get right into it.
I have a feeling it's going to be the perfect on the go and a great break from tough sessions of FEoR.

This is more metroidvania than I thought, nice
I read a review this morning that says SD2 is very similar to the first in its opening hour, but opens up to something more wonderful after that.

30 minutes in. Potential GOTY and might even be better than Heist.

I'm so glad I wasn't crazy to give it a 10. I love this game so much.

Goddamn the
is fun.
Incredibly satisfying finding secrets and discovering areas before the game leads you there itself.

Dropping 3DS as the base, and the 400x240 resolution with it, has really allowed them to go nuts with the visuals on Dig 2. Really looking forward to playing it myself on the Switch's screen.
They posted this comparison on Twitter:

It's really quite impressive how the already-good art-style has improved so much.

I wanted to pre-load while I reach home, but the website is not showing a buy option
It's 200mb, you should be fine either way.
In what way? Dig upwards?
Just got a PR email with some teensy tiny spoilers regarding 100% completion.
That is very cool to see.
Now 15 months of efforts are out in the open, and everything about the game has been laid bare.
Well, ALMOST everything...
One of the things we promised ourselves when we set out to make SWD2 was to include a big reward at the very end of the game. A chunk of bonus gameplay that justified getting to the core of what SWD2 is all about: exploration.
We thought it was a fun to surprise completionists this way, but now we realize that players deserve to know that completing the game 100% unlocks post-game content. Of course we'll let players discover for themselves WHAT that is... suffice it to say that it is as surprising as it is challenging!

As in I have no idea how exactly to reach the next objective.
But there's a big new area to explore so I'm not stumped for things to do. But it's nowhere near the objective.
Edit: Keep digging down.

Well, that icon is super ugly, but Im buying the regardless, hell Ill still buy if the icon is a pile of shit drawn in ms paint.
Edit: just bought the game, devs please change the icon, its especially bad on dark theme.

That's cool. For a game that looks so good on the Switch it's odd they chose such an ugly icon to begin with.
Good call, I might do the same

This is a great sequel. It feels very similar to the the previous game at first, but quickly starts adding new mechanics and ideas. I'm really impressed so far, with about two hours of playtime.

Almost done with my review of the game, but.. I wanted to check in with the other people who have been reviewing the game.
Okay.
Okay.
I beat the game and I have 100% in every area, all 42 artifacts, and the "Coin of Heaven & Hell." But does anyone have any clue on how to access the area it mentions? It's clue is "Close to the Peak of Solitude. A howling desert embrace. Take to the skies to seal your fate. In a strange and wonderful place." I've pretty much jumped and floated off over everything, but I suppose I have to go into the sandstorm? I dunno. Something doesn't seem to be activating.
