First, on the topic of getting enough Switch units out there for the holidays, Reggie noted:

The main hook of Super Mario Odyssey is Mario’s ability to capture enemies. This is largely in part possible thanks to his new companion Cappy.

Mario may not be the only character in the game with a possessed head accessory. In new artwork included on the Super Mario Odyssey website, we’re able to see Peach with a crown that looks a whole lot like Cappy. It doesn’t seem like Cappy exactly since it has a slightly more feminine appearance. It’s a very close resemblance, however.

Runbow has already appeared on both Wii U and New 3DS. Could a Switch version be in the works as well? Maybe.

Headup Games, who is publishing Runbow on the PlayStation 4, shared a trailer for the game today. Fans quickly noticed that the YouTube description mentioned a Switch version. When Headup Games was asked about it on Twitter, the line was quickly deleted.

It’s quite possible that this was an error. Then again, 13AM Games has seemingly been teasing plans for Switch as of late:

Even if Runbow isn’t lined up for Switch, 13AM Games definitely appears to be working with the system in some fashion.
