RISE: Race The Future no longer in the works for Wii U, but VD-Dev still hoping to make a Switch version
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop, Wii U eShop | 15 Comments
IronFall Invasion developer VD-Dev announced RISE: Race The Future for Switch and Wii U. Development is moving forward – despite the sad passing of the studio’s co-founder Fernando Velez.
Some platform changes have been made since the original announcement. For one thing, Wii U is now out of the picture. VD-Dev is also focusing on PC first, with other platforms to follow. VD-Dev still hopes to make a Switch version, but since the game is initially launching at the end of this year, we won’t be seeing it on a Nintendo platform until 2018.

Zoink Games is working on a new project, and it looks to be planned for Switch. The studio shared some new concept art today with a hashtag of the system attached to the end.
The tweet in question is as follows:
Sneak peek of our seeeecret game! What will it be, what will it be? #NintendoSwitch https://t.co/KYu7fzihAl

That definitely comes across as a tease. Just might be too early for Zoink to be talking about the game.
Thanks to ContraNetwork for the tip.

PlatinumGames designer up for NieR: Automata on Switch, if Square Enix shows interest
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 99 Comments
Square Enix just wrapped up a fan Q&A event on Facebook for NieR: Automata. At one point, desginer Takahisa Taura was asked about a potential Switch version.
Taura seemed open to the idea, as well as bringing the game to more platforms in general. It would ultimately come down to Square Enix’s interest.
Taura said:
“From our perspective in PlatinumGames, if Square Enix pays us to do it, we’ll make you a version for the Switch, we’ll make you a version for the Super Nintendo if you want – anything you ask for.”
Square Enix is already bringing several titles to Switch. One more wouldn’t hurt, right?
