Update: Shin'en has informed us that The Touryst will be playable at Gamescom this week, so you'll most definitely want to swing by the Nintendo booth if you're heading to Cologne for the event.

The talented folks over at Shin'en Multimedia never fail to impress with their games on Nintendo platforms, and their upcoming blocky adventure The Touryst looks set to maintain that record. Heck, you can even go into an arcade and play a lo-fi version of FAST RMX in the game if that floats your proverbial boat.

Here's a bit more info from Shin'en themselves about their upcoming game:

You are just arriving at Monument Island. Want to go swimming? Or rather take a dive into the deep sea? Or do you want to visit the amusement arcade, do some shopping, dance at the beach party? Fancy some surfing? Or will you talk with the strange old tourist and listen what he has to say about these ancient mysterious monuments...

- Discover exotic islands and explore ancient monuments

- Climb into deep mines and uncover secret passages

- Make the trip you always wanted and enjoy the tourist life

An action adventure as varied as real life

Never seen before visuals, at 60fps and up to 1080p

Enjoy your vacation!

Does this do it for you? Let us know if you plan to pick this up when it lands on Switch this November.
