Extinction being considered for Switch
Posted on 8 years ago by Nick in News | 3 Comments
DualShockers got a chance to talk to Maximum Games about their upcoming game Extinction. In the interview Derek Neal, Executive Producer, had this to say on the Switch demand.
“As far as Extinction, it wasn’t part of our original plan to bring Extinction to the Switch, but actually we’ve gotten this question a lot. A lot of people seem excited about the prospect of having this title on the Switch, so we are re-evaluating those options and seeing if maybe that is something we want to do. But that decision hasn’t been made yet”
It is also noted that Neal isn’t part of the core Iron Galaxy team and that he believes that team members have been involved with some Switch development. You can check out some more tidbits from the interview below.

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 2 Comments
This information comes from an IGN preview of Splatoon 2…
During our hands-on with Splatoon 2, we also learned that Nintendo is certainly planning big Salmon Run events, and adding more maps besides the Spawning Grounds.

When asked if Salmon Run events would take the place of Splatfest, the Nintendo representative simply said they “weren’t discussing Splatfest at this time.”
