It will never stop being weird seeing Xbox games on a Nintendo console. Weird in a good way, mind, as any chance to play a game as exceptionally fun and engaging as Ori and the Will of the Wisps is one worth having on any Nintendo platform. Thankfully, Will of the Wisps has joined its predecessor in the Nintendo eShop and is available right now to download.
The sequel to Ori and the Blind Forest, Will of the Wisps is another rigorous Metroidvania-style game that expands upon the original’s gorgeous visuals and tight platforming gameplay. For those who would like to own a physical copy of each of these two games, iam8bit is producing a splendorous Collector’s Edition. Here’s what’s in the box:
- Premium “Transforming” Display Box with Glow-in-the-Dark Finish
- Majestic Stained Glass style Art Piece
- “The Flora & Fauna of Ori” Field Guide
- Sketchbook Zine, featuring rarely seen production art
- Collectible Art Card Set

- Digital Download Cards for Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps soundtracks by composer Gareth Coker
