Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Hazelight Studios’ Lucas de Vries weighed in yesterday as to why A Way Out isn’t on Switch. Director Josef Fares has now commented as well.
Like de Vries, Fares pointed out that the game requires camera controls, which can’t really be done if you want to play on a single Joy-Con. He also brought up that the team hasn’t really looked into Switch yet, and he’s “not saying it will never happen.”

Nintendo highlights strong digital sales, Switch eShop navigation to be improved
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Nintendo hosted a Nindies panel at GDC 2018 today. Among what was discussed, the company highlighted strong digital sales and touched on improvements planned for the Switch eShop.
First, as USgamer supports, digital sales of third-party games for Switch and 3DS are exceeding sales of traditional boxed games in the US. Nintendo also said that eShop navigation will be improved on Switch for “better discoverability”. With more and more games coming to Switch each week, it’s difficult for titles to stand out and for consumers to find them. It sounds like Nintendo will be looking to improve the situation in the future.

It’s been announced that Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes will feature Hyper Light Drifter gear that you can wear. Further specifics haven’t been provided, so it’s currently unclear if this is just a cosmetic bonus.
Hyper Light Drifter was actually just announced for Switch a short while ago. Abylight and Heart Machine will have it ready for this summer.
