It has been known for quite some time thatA Hat in Timewas going tomake its way overto the Nintendo Switch, even though, previously, Gears for Breakfast very bluntly stated that they wouldnot bring the game to the console. Last week, Nintendo showcased a Direct after going quite some time without one. This Direct came and went without any news for an inevitable Switch port. Or, so we thought.

As noted by theReddit user u/BrineBlade,A Hat in Timewas actually shown off during the Japanese Direct with a Spring release date. you’re able to see in the screenshot below a screen grab of the video.

Another Reddit user (u/AwesomePahsome) noted that 春 means Spring. If you do not believe me, you’re able to give it a quick google translate and see for yourself.

The game didn’treinvent the wheelwhen it comes to 3D platformers, but the charming and whimsical nature of the game has had me vehemently interest for quite some time. On top of that, I am a little surprised that the game is still coming to the Switch after thehostile outlashGears for Breakfast received after previously stating they were not porting the game. I am sure those were just a few outliers in the comment section of Twitter though.

I am happy to see thatA Hat in Timeis finally making its way to the Switch. I know that many players have been waiting for the port to finally experience the game. Those players include myself. There are just so many great titles out right now that I would like to play through first. However, I always play on my Switch for about 30 minutes to an hour before I go to sleep, so I am looking forward to completing this game from the comfort of my bed.

A Hat in Timeis currently available for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
