It appears that Cattle Call — the developers of such titles as The Alliance Alive and the Metal Max series — is currently developing an unannounced Switch game.

According to the company’s official website, the Nintendo Switch is now listed under the heading of “Platforms Developed For”. It is believed that this could be referring to either an original game or a co-developed title for the hybrid console.

It is unclear at this time if this new project may be related to a title that the company has previously worked on or ported.

VideoLan president thinking about bringing VLC media player to Switch

Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

The VLC media player has been around for ages, serving as a top media player primarily for PCs. However, it could expand into a completely different area. Jean-Baptiste Kempf, the president and lead developer of VideoLan, told VentureBeat that he’s thinking about bringing VLC to Switch.

The move wouldn’t be entirely unprecedented, as VLC can be downloaded right now on another gaming platform – that being the Xbox One. However, it would certainly be interesting to see it arrive on a Nintendo console as well.
