Snake Pass developer Sumo Digital recently held an AmA on the Nintendo Switch Subreddit and answered quite a few questions. You can check out the full AmA here; we’ve highlighted some of the most interesting answers below:
On the possibility of a physical version:
We’re exploring our options.
On the lack of Time Trial mode in the Switch version:
It was a tough call to make considering how we wanted to ensure we were able to launch the Switch version with all the other platforms day and date on top of how much time we had to work on the Switch to begin with. Needless to say, we are getting Time Trials in a future patch.
On the possibility of a sequel:

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Old Time Hockey’s initial release took place at the end of last month. Unfortunately, the Switch version is quite a ways off.
On the latest Fragments of Silicon podcast, V7 Entertainment’s Mike Torillo indicated that Old Time Hockey will be coming to Switch this fall. The team has only done “super preliminary work” thus far, but updates will be posted on social media.
V7 currently intends to carry out an initial port. The studio will then follow up by looking into potential Switch-specific features. Nintendo has apparently shown interest in seeing what the team could do differently on their system.
You can listen to the full podcast and interview with Torillo after the break.

Many studios have come forward noting just how easy it is to develop for Switch. You can add Choice Provisions to that pile as well.
Speaking with Autopress, Choice Provisions said that the team had Runner3 running on Switch in just a single day. Since then, “it’s been smooth sailing”.
“We were nervous at first about developing for the Switch, simply because there are always unknowns with new platforms. We ended up getting the game running on the console in only a day, however, and it’s been smooth sailing ever since!”
Runner3 will be out on Switch later this year as an exclusive.
