Nintendo announcements
This Switch 2 horror game wants you to do more than press buttons: touch its world, tilt the console to attack and blow into the microphone to keep the Vessel warm. Those strange controls explain why ONYX is built around handheld play.
Nintendo and Broken Mirror Games revealed ONYX on September 9, turning its handheld-only design and unusual hardware interactions into the immediate search question.
Nintendo confirmed that the remake can hear learned melodies through the Switch 2 microphone and responds to instruments such as its announced playable and electric ocarinas. It has not yet confirmed that every acoustic ocarina, key or tuning works. Do not buy a new ocarina only for compatibility until Nintendo publishes input requirements.
Nintendo's announcement showed humming and instrument input, leaving owners with a narrower buying question about whether an existing acoustic ocarina will be compatible.
