Switch eShop

After ten years in development, Owlboy finally launched in 2016. D-Pad Studio then decided to bring the game to consoles, including Switch – with the eShop release taking place just last month.

To celebrate Owlboy’s launch on Switch, we caught up with creator and artist Simon Stafsnes Andersen in hopes of learning more about the project. Andersen spoke about the long process of making the title and how it changed during development, bringing it to Switch, Owlboy’s future, and what lies ahead for D-Pad Studio. Our full interview can be read below.

Juicy Realm

At GDC this week, SpaceCan was showing off its new project Juicy Realm, which is on the way to Switch. Take a look at some footage below.

Manticore – Galaxy on Fire was unexpectedly delayed this week. Just a day before its intended March 22 launch, a notice was sent out stating that the Switch game had been pushed back. A new date will be announced soon.

Manticore lead designer Patrick Imbusch has since passed along a few words about the delay. Imbusch shared the following:

As promised, Team Cherry has offered an update on the Switch version of Hollow Knight. Unfortunately though, it sounds like the game still has quite a long way to go.

Hollow Knight is “looking and playing great” on Switch, but the team still has “some stuff to iron out.” Team Cherry isn’t ready to announce an updated release window just yet.
