<p>Finally!</p>
<p>Beloved farming sim<em> </em><a href="http://ift.tt/1TR8FlG"><em>Stardew Valley</em></a> will launch on <a href="http://ift.tt/2epuvg9">Nintendo Switch</a> on Oct. 5. After nearly a year of testing — and <a href="http://ift.tt/2xaxUf1">a switch from Wii U</a> to, uh, Switch — the game will launch for $14.99 on the eShop.</p>
<p>“I’m very happy to see <em>Stardew</em> come to a Nintendo console … I grew up on Nintendo, after all!” wrote ConcernedApe, the one-man development team behind the 2016 smash hit, on <a href="http://ift.tt/2yTlRQz">the game’s official site</a>. “This will not only be the first time <em>Stardew Valley </em>appears on a Nintendo platform, but also the first time <em>Stardew</em> will be on a portable system.”</p>
<p>Sickhead Games developed the port, which will be published by Chucklefish Games. Features like multiplayer will come to the Switch version of the game <a href="http://ift.tt/2hkqYV9">before other consoles</a>, as the publisher previously announced; expect the big multiplayer update <a href="http://ift.tt/2hkHULb">sometime next year</a>. </p>
<p>We were big fans of <em>Stardew Valley</em> last year, when it launched on <a href="http://ift.tt/1nvm7qh">Windows</a> PC, Mac, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It made Polygon’s top 10 Games of the Year list — so we’re pretty psyched to be able to finally play it on the go. </p>
