3DS won’t be the only platform where Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs will be offered. In a Kickstarter post today, the team confirmed that new platforms are in the mix, including Switch. JoshProd is on board as a new partner, and it sounds like the company will be publishing the game at retail.
3DS is indeed still a part of the plan. However, on that platform, Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs will be digital only.

The developers are also implementing the split Joy-Con setup on Switch. That means two players will be able to play LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 with just one Joy-Con controller each. This is in contrast to LEGO City: Undercover, which required a separate Pro Controller or additional pair of Joy-Con.
