A Hat In Time is coming to Nintendo Switch—with DLC and co-op!



Fantastic news for Switch owners. A Hat in Time, an indie "Mario-like" 3D platformer (which, in my opinion, gives the plumber a run for his money) has been "on its way" to the Nintendo Switch for some time now. However, we've had no release date, and few updates from the team at Gears for Breakfast.

But now there's something to be excited about. It's just been revealed that the Switch port is getting the local co-op mode (which was added to the PC version as a post-release update), as well as the Seal the Deal DLC!



Although there's still no release date, I'm really pumped for this. Seal the Deal was a lot of fun and incredibly charming, but the real treat here is the co-op. In my previous post discussing A Hat in Time, I sang praises for how good the multiplayer mode is—a second player can hop in anytime, and is a fully playable character (unlike Cappy in Mario Odyssey).

I wasn't sure if we'd see this on the Switch, however. It's a no-compromise split-screen local co-op, which can be demanding of system resources (something the Switch doesn't have a lot to spare). That being said, local multiplayer will be amazing for the Switch, and the Nintendo audience is going to adore playing this game with a friend.

Are you going to pick up A Hat in Time when it comes out for the Switch? Have you played it before on a different platform? Let's discuss it in the comments below!

10 Reasons Why A Hat In Time Is Better Than Mario Odyssey

Don't get me wrong—I love Super Mario Odyssey. There's no denying the level of polish and care put into that game, and it truly is the best Mario game in years. It's just that there's this little indie game that's better.

High-Intensity Interval Writing; How to Write More in Less Time

Image by Caleb Roenigk. I check the clock to see it's a little past 4 in the afternoon. For the most part, it's been a lazy day; woke up with some coffee, played with my kids, had a leisurely lunch break. My goal for the day was to crank out some writing on my new book, but I only spent about three and a half hour actually writing. How much progress did I make? over 4,600 words. Nearly three times the daily number people shoot for during National Novel Writing Month , or what will someday be about 18 pages in the novel. It was a record-breaking number, yet it felt like I hardly worked at all. I threw all those words on paper without stressing, or pressure, or working long grueling hours. What I did that day was sustainable  and repeatable , not a one-time fluke success. What did I do that worked so well? I used the same principle I do with exercise.

8BitDo SN30 Pro Controller Review: Retro Style Meets Modern Features

My poor wife. She humors my gaming hobby so well, despite not being a gamer herself. She has also inadvertently helped me realize how crazy us gamers sound sometimes, when explaining why we need  something that we clearly don't. Case in point is this retro-style Switch controller by 8BitDo. I kept eyeing this thing up. The Super Nintendo aesthetic really did it for me, and despite having all the gaming accessories I needed , I found myself wanting this for no good reason. She didn't complain when I grabbed the overpriced Switch Pro Controller, because I had a valid need—trying to play Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with a pair of joy cons was far from ideal. But as I explained how I had no practical need for this new controller, but wanted it anyway, she gave me some very confused looks. Thankfully my wife is amazing, and ended up buying me the controller as a surprise birthday present. And I'm glad she did, because I really like this thing! I've clocked in some
