Nintendo consoles have always been home to unique narrative-drivenfeelgood adventure games, and the Switch is no different. Titles likeGris,Shady Part of me, andFirewatchhave found immense success on Nintendo’s platform even though they are not exclusive to the system. Similarly, theLife is Strangegames are famous for their emotionally enthralling narrative, unique characters, melancholic soundtrack, and much more. Unfortunately, none of theLife is Strangegames have made their way to the Nintendo Switch so far, and withLife is Strange: True Colorson the horizon, many believe that this would be the case yet again.
Interestingly, recent leaks suggested that the originalLife is StrangeandLife is Strange: Before the Stormwill be coming to Nintendo Switch later this fall. Furthermore, an ESRB listing also seemingly confirmed thatLife is Strange True Colorsis headed to Nintendo Switch, despite not being confirmed for the same during its reveal. For what it’s worth,Life is Strange: True Colorsand Nintendo Switch seems like a match made in heaven.

Ideal for Handheld Devices
What sets Nintendo Switch apart from other consoles apart is its portable nature. The ability to play games on the go is alluring, especially if they are some of the most atmospheric experiences around.Life is Strangegameshave always been intensely atmospheric, where players get immersed into its world rather quickly.Life is Strange 1takes place in the Autumn season. Whether it’s the windy outskirts of the Blackwell Academy, or the eeriness of the junkyard, or even the bookThe October Countryin Max’s room, they all scream Autumn in the most tangible way possible. All of this makesLife is Strangethe perfect game to experience out in the wild or tucked away in the bed. The only console capable of providing such an experience is Nintendo Switch.
On the other hand,Life is Strange: True Colorstakes place in a small town amidst the mountains of Colorado. The Neo-folk music from Novo Amor in the game’s reveal trailer sets the stage for yet another special experience. If anything,Life is Strange: True Colorsseems to be the perfect winter game at this point, and Square Enix would be selling it short if it doesn’t let Nintendo Switch users experience the game someplace in the mountains, sitting next to a bonfire. In short,Life is Strange: True Colors, like previousLife is Strangegames, is shaping up to be an experience that would seem the most fulfilling when experienced in an atmospheric setting similar to the one featured in the game, and a handheld device like Nintendo Switch is the most suitable way to do that.
Not Visually Demanding

However,Life is Strange’svisual limitations mean that it could very well run on a console like the Nintendo Switch.
Life is Strange: True Colorsseems to be the accumulation of everything that makesLife is Strangeso compelling in the first place. While it’s unclear whether this latest entry or the previous games in the franchise would come to Nintendo Switch at some point, but if it does, it would be one of the most unique additions to the Switch’s already impressive library of games.
