Rebellion says “Switch certainly brings some fascinating options to the table”

WCCFTech caught up with Rebellion for an interview that was primarily focused on Sniper Elite 4. However, the site also asked a question about Switch. That prompted a representative from Rebellion’s technical department to say that the system “certainly brings some fascinating options to the table”.
Here are the full comments:
“It’s always exciting to see a new console and of course a new Nintendo console. The Switch certainly brings some fascinating options to the table – I know our Co-founder Chris Kingsley said he likes how flexible the controllers are. Currently, we’ve only announced Sniper Elite 4 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, and we’ve got nothing more to announce at the moment.”
Back in the day, Rebellion brought Sniper Elite V2 to Wii U. It’d be interesting to see if the developer would be up to supporting Switch in the future.

GameSeek says it will be taking Switch pre-orders for £198.50 again
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 17 Comments
The RRP for Switch in the UK is £279.99. Despite that, GameSeek had been honoring pre-orders of £198.50 before the system was properly unveiled last month.
GameSeek will actually be offering consumers another chance to purchase Switch for £198.50 in the near future. This time around, the retailers pre-orders will be for the Neon Red / Neon Blue console. Those who secure a reservation will apparently have their order dispatched prior to release.
Keep in mind that GameSeek takes the money for pre-orders up-front unlike most retailers. It’s apparently done to “deter thieves,” though you may want to exercise caution in any case.
