The Nintendo Switch version of No Straight Roads includes additional features designed to take advantage of the console’s unique functionality, including:

• 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.

 

In addition, the No Straight Roads Collector’s Edition, which features an exclusive double-sided vinyl LP with tracks from the game’s official soundtrack, a rockin’ 64-page ‘The Art of NSR’ artbook, official NSR drumsticks and a funky presentation box, will be available on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 system.

 

Directed by Wan Hazmer, lead game designer of Final Fantasy XV, and Daim Dziauddin, concept artist of Street Fighter V, No Straight Roads is an action-adventure game that mashes together rhythm-infused combat with a vibrant offbeat world and a killer soundtrack.
