Cities: Skylines is more portable than ever in the brand new Switch version! If you've already taken your Cities for a stroll we'd love to check a look!

We've got a brand new pair of JoyCons as well as a load of Chirpies looking for new homes and you can win either if you share your photos of how you are enjoying Cities: Skylines in locations previously not Skylines compatible!

Post your submissions directly in this thread or on Twitter and Instagram using hashtag #BuildAnywhere!
 
Took the plunge with purchasing Cities: Skylines, as I had never played it on PC before.

Taking this picture was a bit frightening - having to hold on to the system while taking a picture - but playing Switch while taking a bubble bath after a long day is something I like to do. What better way to #BuildAnywhere than in the tub!

From work (don't tell the boss)!

Out and about for a drive (as a passenger of course)!

Weather looks fair!

And of course the real reason why we all bought the game on the switch: to play whilst sitting on the toilet!

...that's all for now. City was at around 74k (just shy of unlocking the special buildings!) then I had a mass exodus, I think due to traffic problems. Population went down to 40k rapidly so I need to work out what to fix! Recently added lots of bus routes (with bus lanes), more train stations and tried to implement Tram system but there seems to be a bug with UPGRADING existing roads to Tram versions so I didn't tackle that yet.

There are a few traffic jams but not horrendous, so not sure what the growth issue actually is!

And we love it!
Everyone with a Switch can participate! If you want to have the chance to win a pair of Joycon you have time till Friday to post a picture of you with Cities and the Switch playing somewhere, anywhere, even your bed!
 
I think we’ve been forgotten. My son is nearly 6 months old now and asks me every day if he won!! I think that’s what the crying means anyway :)
