There have been a number of previews of the recently unveiled Horizon LEGO Adventures which is in development for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. Most of the previews have focussed on the PlayStation 5 version, though Kotaku decided to go hands on with the Nintendo Switch version. They found out that the Switch version of Horizon Lego Adventures was developed simultaneously with the PlayStation versions and scaled down. Another thing they note is that the game is playable with a single Joy-Con, so Switch owners have co-op play right out of the box with no additional controllers needed.
“Out this holiday, the game features two-player co-op and was designed to be playable with just one joystick so that multiplayer would be an option right out of the box with players using an individual Joy-Con each.”
“For us, it’s super exciting to make a Nintendo game for the first time, right?” Symons told me. He said that, rather than make the game for PS5 and scale it down, both versions were made simultaneously. “We do it actually all at the same time, in parallel, so we have a dedicated team of engineers optimizing all this for Switch, but it will be exactly the same.”
“And finally, does this new partnership mean Aloy might eventually come to the next Super Smash Bros.? “That’d be nice. If you speak to Nintendo and they want to invite us let me know.”
I love Legos and i love Horizon, i have high expectations for both. Lego Horizon Adventures look’s promising, i hope it’s well received.
I’m surprised the Switch is getting something Horizons related. Also, Kotaku can go eff themselves. BTW, I have nothing against you guys using them as a source as you guys are journalist, my beef is with them.
Just the first (or second if you count MLB) of many Sony exclusives that will come to Nintendo console. Nintendo will keep their own exclusives still ofc ;)
