The Tower of Permanence is in the works for Switch, //commentout has announced. It will be playable at TGS 2017 later this month.

Essentially, The Tower of Permanence is an action game. You’ll be tasked with climbing a tower filled with different traps and enemies. Since the inside of the tower is procedurally generated, you’ll have a new tower to take on each day. Also fleshing out the experience are daily challenges that let you compete for the highest score with other players. You can also leave a dying message on your grave for others to see when they die.

We’ve included a couple of trailers for The Tower of Permanence below.

Footage is here for the new Switch version of Sine Mora EX. Take a look at some footage of the game below.

We also have the file size for Sine Mora EX. On Switch, the game takes up 990MB of space.

It seems like Wonder Boy wasn’t the only indie game that saw a lot of success on Switch. FDG Entertainment revealed today that Oceanhorn, their Wind Waker-inspired action adventure game, has sold more copies on Switch than on all other consoles combined.

It seems like Nintendo’s newest system is turning into quite the indie darling.

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.

Vector Unit is putting Beach Buggy Racing on Switch this week. The studio also has another racer planned for the console: Riptide GP Renegade.

Vector Unit is well underway with the Switch port of Riptide GP Renegade. A release date is unknown, but “it’s working its way through the pipes.” Also teased is the inclusion of cross-play.

As Vector Unit stated on Twitter:


Lizardcube made it known today that Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap on Switch has outsold all other versions combined. That isn’t the only success story on Nintendo’s console.

MixedBag says that forma.8 has seen the most success on Switch. The Switch version has outsold every version but iOS, which launched at a much cheaper price. However, that also means the Switch version garnered higher revenue.

This is pretty notable, especially since forma.8 only just came to Switch a couple of weeks ago. The launch just took place on August 24.

Thanks to Stuart for the tip.
