Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 7 Comments
Many indie developers have come out this week to share success stories about their games on Switch. The teams behind Wonder Boy, forma.8, and Oceanhorn have all seen higher sales on the platform compared to other consoles.
You can add Death Squared to the mix as well. In a series of tweets yesterday, the studio outlined how the Switch version sold more in its first three days than all other platforms.
SMG Studio said:
that could say more about how badly we did on the other platforms though. But we found the Nintendo audience much more "into" the game

Interesting though that sales on other platforms only rose slightly with the increased press/buzz. Guessing non Nintendo users tuned out

We've hit the tail for Switch now and still selling more per day than all the other platforms combined by 200-500%

A Hat in Time devs now have access to Switch devkits, release not confirmed
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 19 Comments
Gears for Breakfast indicated in May that the indie developer was having issues obtaining Switch development hardware. That situation has now been rectified.
The good news is that both Gears for Breakfast and publisher Humble have access to Switch devkits. The bad news is that, for the time being, no official announcement has been made about a release on Nintendo’s console.
We have the following update from Gears for Breakfast:
Hey everyone, thank you so much for your continued support for A Hat in Time!! A while ago, we asked our fans to make sure to let everyone know how much you care for the game, and you really have! Humble and Gears now have access to Nintendo Switch devkits. Unfortunately we won’t have time to touch the devkits for a while now that we’re SO close to release (October 5th). Additionally, we’d like to remind everyone that there are NO PLANS for additional releases until we make any kind of official announcement.
If we had to guess, A Hat in Time will likely appear on Switch in the future. It just might take some time for that to happen.
