Sonic Forces' Switch Demo Has a 1-Minute Time Limit

"Gotta go fast" has been taken a little too literally.

A demo for Sonic Forces has made its way to the Japanese Nintendo eShop ahead of its release next month, but it leaves much to be desired.

As GameXplain discovered, the demo offers three stages to play, but players will struggle to finish any of the levels - after 60 seconds of playtime the game fades out and plays a cutscene before booting you back to the menu screen. Kind of incredibly, that cutscene is longer than the amount of time you're allowed to actually play.

You can only download the preview on the Japanese eShop, which involves creating a new Nintendo Account for the region - find out how to do that with our guide.

Sonic Forces will launch this November 7 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch.

It was recently revealed that your custom character in Sonic Forces will never be on Sonic's level. Shadow the Hedgehog will also be playable in his own free DLC side story, available on launch day.
