Thimbleweed Park: devs targeting September for the Nintendo Switch version

Thimbleweed Park is the latest adventure game from Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick, that any fan of adventure games should be familiar with: they created Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion, after all! The game was confirmed for the Nintendo Switch a few weeks ago, but unfortunately, it’s not quite ready for release just yet.

Earlier this week, Terrible Toybox sent a press release to announce that, while they didn’t have a release date nailed down, they were expecting it to be in September. It’s probably safe to assume a September release is highly dependent on whether Thimbleweed Park passes lotcheck without a hitch.

As mentioned previously, the Nintendo Switch version of the game will be playable with both Joy-Cons and the touchscreen, offering appropriate control schemes for all 3 modes (TV Mode, Handheld Mode, and Tabletop Mode).

Never heard of Thimbleweed Park before? Here’s what it’s all about:

A haunted hotel, an abandoned circus, a burnt-out pillow factory, a dead body pixelating under the bridge, toilets that run on vacuum tubes… you’ve never visited a place like this before.

Five people with nothing in common have been drawn to this rundown, forgotten town. They don’t know it yet, but they are all deeply connected. And they’re being watched.

…Who is Agent Ray really working for and will she get what they want?
…What does Junior Agent Reyes know about a 20 year old factory fire that he’s not saying?
…Will the ghost, Franklin, get to speak to his daughter again?
…Will Ransome the *Beeping* Clown ever become a decent human being?
…Will aspiring game developer Delores abandon her dreams and stick by her family?
…And most importantly: how come no one cares about that dead body?

And here’s some screenshots (not from Nintendo Switch version):

Thimbleweed Park (Switch – eShop) should be released in September in Europe and North America. The Upcoming Games page has been updated!
