Unfinished Game Boy Color game Infinity will now be completed, also coming to Switch
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 0 comments
Over the past few weeks, Incube8 has been running a Kickstarter campaign for its upcoming game Infinity. The CA $16,000 was quickly reached, and a Switch stretch goal was added towards the very end. After raising over CA $350,000, Infinity will be made for Switch as well as Game Boy Color.

An unfinished version was released as a free ROM in 2016, but a team of both new and old staffers has now formed to properly finish Infinity and put it out on cartridges.
