Sifu Arrives on Nintendo Switch With A Digital and Physical Version

Written by Brandon Hofer on November 08, 2022

News: You can now play one of the best indie titles of 2022 anywhere thanks to the portable nature of the Nintendo Switch.

Sloclap’s unique beat ‘em up Sifu is now available on the Nintendo Switch. Beginning today you can purchase the game on the Nintendo eShop or get the physical version from select retailers.

Sifu places players in the shoes of a Pak Mei Kung-Fu student who has spent their life training for a day of reckoning after the brutal murder of their entire family by a mysterious assassination squad. With just one day and countless enemies in their way, you must beat insurmountable odds and defeat members of the powerful organization to claim revenge. However, on such a quest for vengeance, time is the price paid. With a magical talisman to revive you after death, defeat doesn’t spell the end. Though the student always gets back up, the cost of magic is dear, however, and they will age significantly every time they come back to life.

Players looking to fully devote themselves to the world of Sifu can also purchase the physical Redemption Edition, which features a SteelBook copy of the game for the Nintendo Switch, as well as a detailed figurine, pendant of tenacity, beautiful lithograph set and a stunning 160-page ‘Behind the Art of Sifu’ developer’s diary.

Following its debut on PlayStation consoles and PC in February, Sifu was hailed as one of 2022’s early GOTY contenders, surpassing more than one million copies sold in its first three weeks and garnering critical acclaim. Sloclap’s support of Sifu has been extensive, with two updates having launched throughout this year that added difficulty modes, a long list of gameplay modifiers, new outfits, and more. All updated content added to Sifu to date will be available in the game’s Switch version.
