Reptoid Games opened a Kickstarter a little while back for the action-adventure game Fossil Hunters. It’s all about building your own dinosaurs with a modular system of interlocking Fossil Blocks. You’ll go out and explore environments, then clear away dirt and rocks. Each fossil comes with its own possible connection points that can be paired with another fossil when they’re nearby. Fossil Skeletons can also be built to complete objectives and unlock new levels / items.

With just over two days to go until the Kickstarter ends, Reptoid Games announced a Switch version. The developer is partnering with Smiling Buddha Games on the port. If the campaign succeeds, backers will be able to select their platform of choice and choose a key for Switch. Just keep in mind that all console versions are following after the initial PC and Mac launch, tentatively set for March 2018.

You can find more about Fossil Hunters on Kickstarter here. The campaign needs just another $4,000 to reach its goal.

Sine Mora EX launches on Switch today… sort of. The digital version has gone up on the eShop, though the physical version might be facing some issues.

Reader Jes T tells us that he pre-ordered a copy at Best Buy, but received an email this morning stating that Sine Mora EX has been delayed to an unspecified date. The retailer’s customer support added that they don’t have any copies of the game physically for Switch and haven’t heard when that will change. Best Buy as well as Amazon list Sine Mora EX as sold out online or temporarily out of stock.

We’ll keep tabs on the situation and will let you know about any future developments.
