Onrush hasn’t been explored for Switch, but its director says Nintendo’s system “is a fantastic piece of kit”
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 6 Comments
Onrush is a new arcade-esque racer from Codemasters. It’s received a decent amount of buzz since its initial reveal, and some would say that it would be a good fit on Switch.
A Switch port hasn’t been ruled out, but it’s not something that’s happening quite yet either. Director Paul Rustchynsky recently told Redbull, “We haven’t started looking at what it would take to get up and running on Switch, but we are huge fans of Nintendo and the Switch is a fantastic piece of kit.”
Is Onrush a game you’d like to see on Switch?
Thanks to Zone1 for the tip.

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 71 Comments
Update: Amazon has now started to pull these listings. It could be a sign that they went up too early.
Original: A ton of new mystery listings for Switch have appeared on Amazon. We’re counting 18 titles in total on the website, most of which can be pre-ordered. Prices range from $60 all the way up to $100.
The thought here is that these games could be unveiled during an upcoming Nintendo Direct, which will almost certainly take place in January. Amazon even used the exact same image for Project Octopath Traveler a few months ago after it was fully unveiled during the September broadcast.
