With Christmas comes many new Switch owners, and indies are reaping the benefits. SMG Studio is one such developer that has confirmed a huge increase in sales during the holidays.
On Twitter, SMG said that Death Squared’s sales are up 500% during the Christmas period. That’s despite a lack of promotion and visibility. The game isn’t on sale either.
SMG stated:
Steam sales up too but we're 25% off. And Steam sales just reach what we get daily on Switch (in the tail) but on sale so less $$$.

Neostream interested in bringing Little Devil Inside to Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 7 Comments
Do you remember Little Devil Inside? Neostream funded the action-adventure RPG on Kickstarter way back in May 2015.
When the campaign originally ran, Wii U support was achieved. However, things are quite different these days, and Switch has essentially replaced the older console. A release on Wii U is probably unlikely at this point, but the developer did recently tell Inven Global that they’re interested in a Switch version after the initial PC launch.
Neostream still has a long road ahead as the QA phase for Little Devil Inside is planned for the end of 2018. Perhaps we’ll see it on Switch sometime in 2019? In the meantime, here’s the latest video which was just shared last week:

L.F.O.: Lost Future Omega was announced for Switch earlier this year. Today, Mebius confirmed that it’s slated for December 28 in Japan.
In L.F.O., the music played has its sound synced based on the player’s actions and the changes on screen. Some of the sounds from the previous stage can be chosen to be brought to the next stage. Therefore even reaching the same stage may result in different arrangements based on the routes chosen in the playthrough.
