Tropico 6 Is Coming To Switch In November

Tropico 6 has been announced for Switch during the most recent surprise Nintendo Direct Mini. The game, which casts players as the leader of a small island nation, came to PC, PS4, and Xbox One last year. It'll be available on the Switch Eshop from November 6.

The game, called Tropico 6 - Nintendo Switch Edition on the hybrid console, will ship with all previously released content and updates, plus a new palace design, Flamingo Pond accessory, and outfit for your El Presidente to wear. The game is available to pre-order now.

In the Tropico series, you don't just lead the nation from afar--you also build on it, establishing infrastructure and placing buildings across your island.

Kalypso has released a trailer for this new version of the game, which you can watch below. The visual downgrade is pretty clear, but if the gameplay has survived intact, that might not matter too much.

Screenshots of the Switch version have also been released, showing off how the island will look on the console's handheld screen.

Tropico 6 received an 8/10 in GameSpot's review of the PC version. "You have more than enough tools to control just about everything that happens in Tropico," critic Daniel Starkey wrote in his review. "Failure and success, then, can feel quite a bit like a referendum not just on your policies, but on your rendition of El Presidente. The notion of dictatorship as a role that you play for yucks is still there, if that's a hat you want to wear--though it's harder to indulge your own selfish impulses when you can see how your actions are condemning Lydia the lumberjack to a lifetime of poverty."
