‘Action-Adventure-rhythm game’ No Straight Roads confirmed for Nintendo Switch
NSR is the new game from Final Fantasy XV’s lead designer
No Straight Roads, the ‘action-adventure-rhythm’ game, has been confirmed for Nintendo Switch and Xbox One, in addition to previously announced PS4 and PC versions.
Set for release on June 30, the game is said to combine rhythm-infused combat with a “vibrant offbeat world”. Wan Hazmer, lead game designer of Final Fantasy XV, is directing the game and Daim Dziauddin, concept artist of Street Fighter V, providing visual design.
“Fans have been asking for Nintendo Switch and Xbox One versions of No Straight Roads since day one, so we’re incredibly excited to bring the game to those platforms simultaneously with the PS4 and PC versions this June,” said Sarah Hoeksma, marketing director at publisher Sold Out.
“We can’t wait for players to embrace their inner rock star this summer with this musical adventure on their platform of choice.”
The Nintendo Switch version of No Straight Roads includes additional features, including:
- Assist Mode – Partner up with an additional local player to take control of the Elliegator, a secret alligator assistant who can help players in battle by picking up items, transforming props and calling in useful bonuses.
- 3-Player Co-Op – Played in conjunction with the game’s co-op mode, Assist Mode lets up to three local players experience No Straight Roads’ music-based action together, only on Nintendo Switch.
- Touchscreen Support – Use the Nintendo Switch system’s touchscreen to transform props and pick up items.
- Single Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Controller Play – Play through the entire game using a single Joy-Con, or pass the second Joy-Con to a friend to play in couch co-op.
