'TY the Tasmanian Tiger' (ALL) Comes To Nintendo Switch Next Month

by Rainier on Feb. 4, 2020 @ 8:32 a.m. PST

Ty is a wild, boomerang-wielding Tasmanian Tiger whose adventures take the player through a brilliantly animated 3D environment set in the splendor of Australia.

Never before has anyone seen the amazing Thylacines in such clarity. Featuring adaptive brightness, updated shadows and HD resolutions, this new development gives nature lovers a new way of looking at these incredible creatures as they run, jump and throw flaming boomerangs at lizards.

In Ty The Tasmanian Tiger, join TY on a RIPPER of an adventure to free his family from the DREAMING and stop the nefarious evil genius BOSS CASS from removing mammals from the top of the food chain. To help you on your quest, you've got a BEAUT arsenal of boomerangs, sharp teeth, and the help of a few friends! So don’t be a galah - let's head down under, and have a CORKER of a time! BEAUTY, BOTTLER, BONZA!

Immerse yourself exploring 17 levels of iconic Australian Outback. Use 13 different boomerangs including the Frostyrang, Flamerang and powerful Doomerang, to knock out enemies and complete missions.

Ty The Tasmanian Tiger takes the PS2, Xbox and GameCube title into the modern era with support for widescreen displays, improved graphics, 60 FPS, HD resolutions/textures and a completely rewritten graphical engine with new lighting, shadows and reflection effects.

Just like a well-thrown boomerang, TY has come back looking better than ever..

"We're so excited to bring Australia’s favorite character action platformer to a new generation," says Lindsay Parmenter, Studio Director at Krome Studios. "Now you can enjoy using Switch joy-cons like boomerangs to throw and glide."

Steve Stamatiadis, Creative Director shares, “We're chuffed that nearly 20 years later, TY the Tasmanian Tiger still has so many people in love with the game and its characters. That’s quite an honor.”

TY the Tasmanian Tiger HD for Nintendo Switch features:

  • Joycon 6-axis motion control for throwing the ‘rangs, gliding and precision boomeranging!
  • Improved graphics (screen-space ambient occlusion, fully dynamic shadows, color correction and bloom, high definition textures, improved particle effects, 60 FPS)
  • Improved audio - Audio Director's cut. Higher quality audio throughout with additional audio for boomerangs and cinematics.
  • Improved camera
  • New Gamemode called “Hardcore Mode”
  • New TY character skins
  • Controller rumble events, like when gliding, charging a bite, taking hits to your life, and many more
  • Compatible with both the Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite* (*requires extra controllers to be able to use the TY motion controls. i.e. throwing and gliding.)

Originally released in 2002 on PS2, Xbox and Gamecube, with a PC HD Remaster (Steam) in 2013, Ty The Tasmanian Tiger is coming to the Nintendo Switch on March 31, 2020.
