“Switch and Play.”

–Official Nintendo Switch slogan

The Nintendo Switch is a video game console developed by Nintendo, notable for being the very first hybrid console. It's ability to switch between being a handheld and a home console via a special dock is it's most notable attribute, as well as the Joy-Con controllers allowing for multiple ways to play. It first released on March 3rd, 2017 to monumental success, going on to become the third highest-grossing console of all time, as well as the second-highest grossing Nintendo console behind the Nintendo DS. Just one Drawn to Life game is available for it, the most recent entry Drawn to Life: Two Realms. The system is set to be succeeded by the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 in June 2025, although support for the original Switch will continue.

Trivia

• Joseph Tringali expressed interest in remaking the two Drawn to Life Series games developed by 5th Cell for the Switch, along with an expansive sequel to Drawn to Life: Two Realms.
  • These projects were dependent on the reception of Drawn to Life: Two Realms, so their development is uncertain.
  • According to Tringali, 505 Games also shot down two pitches for a hypothetical Drawn to Life 3 in 2015 and 2017.
• All three variations of the Nintendo Switch are compatible with Drawn to Life: Two Realms.
  • The Switch Lite version, however, seems to have minor compatibility issues.
  • According to Nintendo's website, the game is also backwards-compatible with the Switch 2.
• With only one entry under it's belt, the Nintendo Switch is among the systems with the least amount of Drawn to Life games.
• The Switch version of Two Realms is the lowest-rated version on Metacritic, with a score of 50/100 from 11 reviewers, with most either Mixed or Negative.
  • This also makes this version the lowest-rated game in the series on Metacritic.
