Nintendo Direct: Deadly Premonition Launching On Switch Later Today

Nintendo's 40-minute-long Direct presentation has officially wrapped up. Among the few surprise releases, including the newly-released Super Kirby Clash, the company revealed that Deadly Premonition hits the Nintendo Switch later today.

Re-released as Deadly Premonition Origins, the game launches on Nintendo Switch for $30 USD. In the open-world survival horror game, you guide FBI agent Francis York Morgan as he, and his mysterious friend Zach, set out to uncover the truth of a serial murder that occurs in the small North America town of Greenvale.

In our Deadly Premonition review, we said, "Deadly Premonition is not a lovely game, or a refined one. It's easy to dismiss it for its bad looks, its ancient control scheme, and its general user-unfriendliness. But this is a case in which the bigger picture dwarfs the flaws and the foibles. And Deadly Premonition is certainly different. It has its ups and downs, but the one direction you'll most associate with this flawed and unique game is sideways."

In other news from the Nintendo Direct, popular hero shooter Overwatch is set to arrive on Nintendo Switch next month. Banjo-Kazooie, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's third DLC character, joins the ever-growing roster later today.
