Art of Balance is coming to Switch next week

One more time for the folks who missed it

You know what the Switch needs more of? Really good puzzle games. And there are few as good as this.

German developers Shin’en Multimedia, who most notably released Fast RMX on the Switch at the console’s launch, have announced that their classic physics-based puzzle game Art of Balance is coming to Switch on the 4th of October. That’s less than a week away!

Art of Balance was originally released on the Wii back in 2010, and eventually got ports to the Wii U, PlayStation 4, and even 3DS, so it makes sense that it’d finally make the jump to Nintendo’s latest and greatest. Art of Balance on Switch features over 200 levels, 5 unique game modes, and both online and split-screen multiplayer for up to 3 players. We don’t have the Australian price just yet, but it’s listed at $8.99USD/€8.99 in the US and Europe respectively, so we don’t expect it to be any more than $15 here.

You can read the full description and watch the trailer below.

Experience The Art Of Balance
One of the all-time best physics-puzzlers (88% on Metacritic.com) finally makes its way to Nintendo Switch: Art of Balance.
Puzzle games must be addictive. That’s why we designed 200 levels to not only challenge your skills but also your imagination. With its tight controls, Art of Balance is easy to pick up and hard to put away.

The goal sounds simple at first: Build a balanced stack from all given shapes. But with every world comes a twist, making it increasingly difficult to find a solution. Some shapes break under load, while others can even reverse gravity and literally turn the stack upside down. But don’t fret. With practice, some experimentation and a little bit of luck you’ll quickly master even the most difficult challenges.

Packed with 5 unique game modes, online play and local split-screen, Art of Balance is the ultimate test for aspiring puzzle masters. Three additional players can join in at any time and help you solve the puzzles.

With a relaxing lounge soundtrack and 8 beautiful environments, Art of Balance is the ideal fit for casual gaming sessions alone or with friends. Play at home or on the go and challenge other players on their Nintendo Switch™.
