Mission in Snowdriftland

The pixel art platformer Mission in Snowdriftland is on the way to Switch, Tons of Bits confirmed on social media. It will be available sometime this winter.

Outright Games Switch

Even though Nintendo fans are itching to get their hands on the company’s next piece of hardware, many publishers and developers will continue supporting Switch – including Outright Games.

Chris Rose, who served as the production director on SpongeBob SquarePants: The Patrick Star Game, spoke with VideoGamer about plans for Switch going forward. While many will move on and welcome the additional power that Nintendo’s new console brings, Rose feels that abandoning the current system would be a mistake.
