Metanet Software has confirmed that N++ Ultimate Edition will arrive on Nintendo Switch on May 24, 2018, bringing the studio’s minimalist, high-precision platformer to Nintendo’s hybrid console.
The announcement, issued from Metanet’s Toronto offices on May 11, 2018, names BlitWorks as the partner responsible for the Switch port and highlights the game’s large content package and local multiplayer support using Joy-Con controllers.
N++ is a pared-back 2D platformer built around tight movement and challenge.
The Ultimate Edition for Nintendo Switch includes 4,340 handcrafted levels, more than six hours of curated electronic music from boutique labels, and over 100 unlockable color schemes.
The release preserves Solo and Hardcore campaign modes and adds support for local Co-op and Race (competitive) multiplayer via the Switch’s Joy-Con controllers.
The package also includes a built-in level editor that allows players to create and share custom stages.
Metanet’s press release emphasized the game’s suitability for portable play, noting that N++’s short, intense sessions make the title a natural fit for Nintendo Switch.
The company also credited BlitWorks with bringing the project to Nintendo’s platform.
Rewriting a key endorsement from the announcement in straightforward journalistic language: reviewers and observers have praised N++ as a finely tuned, difficult platformer rendered in stark vector graphics and produced by a small, experienced independent team whose craftsmanship is evident across the game’s design.
