First Look At Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization Gameplay On Switch

SAO fans can now catch a peek at the Nintendo Switch port of Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization.

The publisher recently showed off a live demo of the game at Dengeki Bunko 25th Anniversary Aki no Dengekisai. While only lasting for a few minutes, what we saw looks serviceable.

Here are the highlights:

• Handheld mode
• Docked mode (supposedly)
• Motion controls for combat

Check out the footage below (7:04:40 onwards):

The motion controls are actually a little unexpected! While gimmicky, the option seems like a fun distraction.

The port will launch in both Japan and the West – although we still have no details on an exact release date.

UPDATE: Due to some unspecified issue, the above time-stamp may not be correct for some viewers. If you cannot find the footage, you may want to check the video at 1:46:15 instead.
