A wonderful and popular Little Life Sim which takes place in the Australian Outback soon makes the PC jump to Nintendo Switch, opening up to a new audience of fans. Dinkum Recently published as a full game on Steam in April, after being first for access since 2022, and received very positive notes on this platform. But, as the Nintendo switch has become the unofficial house of comfortable games in recent years, it was only a matter of time before Dinkum joins the Switch family.
Officially announced to Nintendo Direct this morning, Dinkum will be launched on the Nintendo switch with multiplayer support up to four playersAnd even a set of exclusive exclusive costumes. The game allows players to build a city in Australian outback by performing tasks, bringing together resources, building and placing houses and businesses and trying to stay alive. You can even learn a little about the unique charms of Australia and its flora and fauna while you play.
As Dinkum is one of my favorite comfortable little games, I was excited by the possibility of interview DinkumSolo developer, James BendonAbout the transition to the Nintendo switch, and how the popularity of this little pastime project affected his life.
Dinkum arrives at Nintendo Switch in November
Dev hopes to bring it to all consoles, but is currently focusing on the switch and steam
Dinkum Was on Steam since it entered first place in 2022 and had its full launch last spring. The popular game has included several free events and updates over the years.
NOW, November 6, 2025, Dinkum Will launch on the Nintendo switch with full support for touch controls and Joy-Cons. The graphics and controls have been optimized for the performance of Nintendo Switch, and it will include up to four multiplayer players locally or using Nintendo Online.
I asked developer James Bendon if he also intended to bring the game to other consoles. He replied, “I am a big fan of Nintendo, and I think that Dinkum is a good adjustment for the switch. Although I would like Dinkum finally coming to all the consoles, at the moment, we are very focused on the Switch and Steam versions.”
When asked if Dinkum Will come to the Nintendo Switch 2, said Bendon, “”Regarding switch 2I can say that the Krafton and 5minlab team shared part of their preparation for the support of the next generation platform with me, but I cannot share details at the moment.“”
Certain changes have been made to make it feel good about the switch
Unfortunately, no cross game at the launch for Dinkum
In order to Dinkum Feel on the Nintendo switch, Bendon said that the 5minlab team, who helped him develop the Switch version, had to rework all the original rendering of the PC version to ensure that it worked on the switch in the moored and portable formats.
Speaking on Switch changes, Bendon shared this, “One thing that surprised me when I played the switch [version of Dinkum] It was how Rumble HD feels on the joys-corn. “” He also added that there were modifications made to the user interface for portable mode and to ensure that the controls work well with the Nintendo configuration.
Bendon said, “In the end, the goal is to make sure that the game remains the same, but feels at home on the switch.”
Unfortunately, although he says that the cross characteristics are being studied, at launch, Dinkum On the switch will not support local and online multiplayer in the Switch version itself.
Developer James Bendon says it is a dream come true
A pastime project has become a successful game
Dinkum was Bendon’s first experience with the development of games, and it started as a simple hobby project. He said that, “Seeing so many people enjoy my little game has been an incredible experience. I always get so much joy to read on the adventures of players in Dinkum, or to hear about the friendships they have established through the game. The community was so favorable throughout Dinkum’s life and I am very grateful.“”
He added, “Before leaving Dinkum, I had two dreams: the first dream was that Dinkum would have succeeded enough to be able to continue working in the development of games. The second was that one day I would see Dinkum on a Nintendo console. So, now, looking back, I feel very lucky to have realized these two dreams.”
Currently, there is no plan for the DLC paid for DinkumBut Bendon added that he likes to work Dinkum And add new items and features, he therefore hopes to continue to provide free fans updates.
Dinkum Will launch on the Nintendo switch on November 6, 2025 in digital and physical formats.
