“Switch and Play.”

–Official Nintendo Switch slogan

The Nintendo Switch is a video game console developed by Nintendo, notable for being the very first hybrid console. It's ability to switch between being a handheld and a home console via a special dock is it's most notable attribute, as well as the Joy-Con controllers allowing for multiple ways to play. It first released on March 3rd, 2017 to monumental success, going on to become the third highest-grossing console of all time, as well as the second-highest grossing Nintendo console behind the Nintendo DS. Just one Drawn to Life game is available for it, the most recent entry Drawn to Life: Two Realms. The system was succeeded by the Nintendo Switch 2 in June 2025, although support for the original Switch will continue.

TriviaEdit

Joseph Tringali expressed interest in remaking the two Drawn to Life Series games developed by 5th Cell for the Switch, along with an expansive sequel to Drawn to Life: Two Realms.
- These projects were dependent on the reception of Drawn to Life: Two Realms^[1], so their development is uncertain.
- According to Tringali, 505 Games also shot down two pitches for a hypothetical Drawn to Life 3 in 2015 and 2017.
All three variations of the Nintendo Switch are compatible with Drawn to Life: Two Realms.
- The Switch Lite version, however, seems to have minor compatibility issues.
- According to Nintendo's website, the game is also backwards-compatible with the Switch 2.^[2]
  - Said conversion is a straightforward conversion, however, with no major differences found.
  - Strangely, this version runs at 60fps within levels, but 30fps everywhere else in the game.
With only one entry under it's belt, the Nintendo Switch is among the systems with the least amount of Drawn to Life games.
The Switch version of Two Realms is the lowest-rated version on Metacritic, with a score of 50/100 from 11 reviewers, with most either Mixed or Negative.
- This also makes this version the lowest-rated game in the series on Metacritic.
