Axiom Verge creator pleased with Switch launch sales
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 5 Comments
Axiom Verge only just came out on Switch this past Thursday, but creator Tom Happ is pleased with how the game is doing so far. On launch day, Happ wrote on Twitter that it “seems to be selling quite well”. That’s in spite of the fact that other high-quality titles debuted on the store, including Stardew Valley and Oxenfree.
Switch AV seems to be selling quite well day 1, even considering all the other games releasing today! What a great console.
— Tom Happ (@AxiomVerge) October 6, 2017
Putting things into further perspective, Axiom Verge did better on Switch than Wii U in its first day:
Well Wii U dropped off since it's now "last gen" but I believe Switch is doing better than it did day 1
— Tom Happ (@AxiomVerge) October 6, 2017
Porting the game also went well:
I believe it was one of @Sickhead's easiest ports

Update (9/12): The new date of October 5 is officially confirmed:
The people have spoken! We decided to move the eShop release of Axiom Verge up to October 5! Updated retail date TBA soon. https://t.co/QCdEpKoyUM
— Tom Happ (@AxiomVerge) September 12, 2017
Original (9/11): Axiom Verge might be just a few weeks away on Switch. Over on the European eShop, a release date of October 5 is included in a new page listing. For what it’s worth, it’s listed for October 19 on the North American store.
It was announced last week that Axiom Verge’s physical version has been delayed by a couple of weeks. Due to that, the eShop version might be releasing early so that Switch owners interested in a digital copy won’t have to wait too much longer.
In other news, we have the file size for Axiom Verge on Switch. It’ll take up 119MB of space.

Axiom Verge’s physical version pushed back a couple of weeks, digital Switch release may go on as planned
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 5 Comments
The physical version of Axiom Verge was dated for October 17 awhile back. Unfortunately though, a delay is happening. Creator Tom Happ estimates that the physical copies will be pushed back by “a couple of weeks”. Both Switch and Wii U will be affected.
There might be one bright spot here. Happ put out a tweet asking fans if they’d like the digital version to release on the eShop as planned. Based on the Twitter poll, that may very well happen.
So the physical Axiom Verge will be pushed back a couple weeks … but the Switch eShop version can launch early! Should we move it up?

Axiom Verge officially set for October 17 on Switch
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 31 Comments
Axiom Verge was originally going to be on Switch sometime this month. However, that isn’t the case any longer.
With Axiom Verge being listed on retailer websites over the past few weeks, it seemed like the game had slipped a bit. Creator Tom Happ has now officially confirmed a release date of October 17. Since we only had a vague August release window previously, this “delay” isn’t entirely surprising.
Happ told one fan on Twitter today:
October 17th

Axiom Verge dev wants to start work on Switch port as soon as possible
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 3 Comments
If it wasn’t clear that Axiom Verge creator Tom Happ wants to port the game to Switch, it should be now. Happ already reached out to Nintendo “many times” in hopes of being approved to develop on the system, but that hasn’t happened. “As soon as we get the green light, we’ll drop everything and get right to work on the Switch version,” Happ told Nintendo Life.
Nintendo has previously stated that the company is prioritizing newer experiences over ports for Switch during the system’s early days. When that begins to change, we should be getting Axiom Verge on Switch.
