The 3DS version of Elliot Quest has taken longer than expected. It was originally planned for last year, but it sort of fell off the map since the original announcement. However, a tweet from creator Luis Zuno confirms that it’s still happening.

Zuno shared a brief look at Elliot Quest running on 3DS earlier today. Additionally, he says it’s releasing “very soon.”

The full tweet is as follows:

Bombservice created the very well-received Metroidvania game Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight last year. Unfortunately, it won’t be on Switch, but the game’s developer has expressed interest in bringing over future games.

When asked about the possibility of Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight heading to Nintendo’s new console, Bombservice said:

“To be completely honest with you, there are no plans right now. The first reason is because we are busy porting the game to other platforms. And the second reason is that we don’t have any access to the tools to make a Switch version of the game. It might not even be possible without remaking the entire game in another engine.

This is assuming you are talking about Momodora RUtM. For future games, I’d love to bring them to the Switch!”

Thanks to Matthew M for the tip.

Nefarious could be the latest indie game to jump ship from Wii U to Switch.

In a Kickstarter update, StarBlade Games talks about how cancelling Nefarious’ Wii U version is being considered. Switch would obviously be taking its place. To decide on which direction to take, the team is currently asking fans about what they believe is the best course of action.

StarBlade’s Kickstarter update contains the following note:

“The release of the Switch is certainly throwing a monkey wrench into things. We have our Wii U dev kit, and we really want to do a release on it. But like many devs in our situation, we’ve been considering pivoting our stance and focusing on the Switch as opposed to the Wii U. However, we wanted this to be a discussion with our backers. Is this something you would like to see?”
