Unfinished Game Boy Color game Infinity will now be completed, also coming to Switch
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 0 comments
Over the past few weeks, Incube8 has been running a Kickstarter campaign for its upcoming game Infinity. The CA $16,000 was quickly reached, and a Switch stretch goal was added towards the very end. After raising over CA $350,000, Infinity will be made for Switch as well as Game Boy Color.
If you’re wondering about Infinity’s appearance on Game Boy Color, we should probably fill you in on the tactical RPG’s rather interesting history. The project was originally being developed by Affinix Software between 1999 and 2001 for the platform. However, it was scrapped in 2002 due to the market shifting to the GBA and publisher issues. An unfinished version was released as a free ROM in 2016, but a team of both new and old staffers has now formed to properly finish Infinity and put it out on cartridges.

A pretty handy reward has just been added to My Nintendo in Europe, with members now able to spend their points on a Switch card case.
The case lets users store up to eight game cards at once. It comes with two different cover sheets, and you can also replace them with your favorite design. It measures in at 170mm x 105mm x 12mm. Polypropylene is listed as the used material. We can’t help but be reminded of the 3DS game card case that was offered in North America through Club Nintendo many years ago.
