Is this the full game or a cut-down port?

It is the complete base game with all major endings, plus the 3C3C1D119440927 DLC and cosmetic items. Nothing from the story is removed.

How does it compare with the PS4 or PC version?

It has the same content but lower resolution and frame rate, with more pop-in. The trade-off is that it is the only version you can play handheld.

Does it include the 3C3C1D119440927 DLC?

Yes. The End of YoRHa Edition bundles that DLC, which adds extra battles and cosmetic rewards, along with additional costumes.

Is there multiplayer or online play?

No. It is a single-player game, and the online-dependent ending sequence is handled differently on Switch.

Do I need to have played the first NieR?

No. Automata is a standalone story, though returning fans will catch references to the earlier game.

How long does it take to finish?

The main story runs roughly 20 to 25 hours, and seeing the major endings and side content pushes it past 40 hours.

About the NieR:Automata The End of YoRHa Edition

The End of YoRHa Edition is the Nintendo Switch port of NieR:Automata, PlatinumGames' action RPG about androids 2B, 9S and A2 fighting machines in a ruined world. It includes the base game plus the 3C3C1D119440927 downloadable content and cosmetic items. The Switch version runs at a lower resolution and frame rate than the PS4 and PC releases, but it is the only way to play it handheld, and it adds a costume and accessory set tied to the port. Reviewers call it a surprisingly faithful conversion with the full story and multiple endings intact.
