Both the first Portal and its sequel, Portal 2, will be headed to the Nintendo Switch later this year as part of Portal: Companion Collection, announced during today's Nintendo Direct presentation.
Portal was first released by Valve in 2007 for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 in 2007, with Portal 2 coming in 2011.
Valve noted in a tweet during the presentation that the Companion Collection was developed in collaboration with NVIDIA Lightspeed Studios, and will include both games' full single-player campaigns as well as Portal 2's co-op game mode, which is available via spilt-screen, local, and online multiplayer.
Both Portal games have received critical acclaim, with IGN giving the first an 8.2 and giving it awards for best puzzle game and most innovative design of 2007. Portal 2 scored even higher with a 9.5, winning IGN's game of the year for 2011.
"Portal 2 makes the original look like the prototype it was," Charles Onyett wrote in his review for IGN. "It's filled with a larger cast of characters vividly brought to life through brilliant writing and some of the best voice acting in video games. Its puzzles are challenging without being unreasonable, and, once you're finished with the single-player mode, one of the best co-operative experiences on the market awaits."
Portal: Companion Collection was just one of several announcements made during today's presentation of games headed to the Switch, with others including No Man's Sky, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, and Earthbound and Earthbound Beginning.
