Battle Chasers: Nightwar was delayed on Switch, with the developer indicating that Unity was one reason for that. Yooka-Laylee also hasn’t made it onto the console yet with the engine also cited. Playtonic is waiting on Unity 5.6 to help address some “technical hurdles”.
For its part, Unity says that over 30% of games for Switch are made with the tech. The company is also working with Nintendo to optimize Unity for the platform.
Hiroki Omae, Unity’s Japan regional director, said in a statement:
“Unity has been providing developer support for Nintendo Switch since day one, and we’re proud to report that more than 30% of games released on Switch to-date are made with Unity.
“We continue to partner closely with Nintendo to optimize Unity on Switch, and are happy to see our developers finding great success on the system.”
