Octodad: Dadliest Catch Coming to the Switch

Get your tentacles on the Switch version November 9th

Young Horses Games has announced that their octopus dad sim, Octodad: Dadliest Catch, will be coming to the Nintendo Switch on November 9th. If you somehow missed noticing this singularly unique game when it originally released back in 2014, Octodad is about a caring father and husband who just happens to be an octopus in disguise.

To maintain his lifestyle, Octodad must continue to blend into human society. Understandably (being an octopus), this is a struggle. The co-op mode tasks up to four players with controlling Octodad's tentacles. You can learn more about how that works in practice in our Co-op Review, but it seems to me that the Switch may offer a stronger implementation of this goofy form of co-op than the game's other platforms.

Octodad: Dadliest Catch will be available in the Nintendo eShop for $14.99 on November 9th.
