Yesterday, Rain Games announced that World to the West is coming to Switch. The Wii U version hasn’t been abandoned, however.

Rain Games shared the following regarding World to the West on Wii U:

“While porting to Switch has been a very smooth and pleasant process so far, Wii U is harder to optimize for, mostly due to the way the hardware is setup, and how the Wii U version is baed on an older version of the engine to ensure full system compatibility.

But we knew this going in, so we made sure that the game could stand up on its own without changing the main gameplay experience. We’re dedicated to making it play well on every platform! As far as an ETA is concerned, we’re hoping to get it out as soon as we can, but we don’t have a way to lock down a date yet, so I can’t get more specific than that.”

Update: The PayPal option has now been activated worldwide.


Original: The Switch eShop is adding a brand new payment option. Going forward, system owners will be able to use PayPal to add funds to their balance.

PayPal can’t be used directly with Wii U or 3DS. However, any game purchased on Nintendo’s website can be used with PayPal. That means if you’re purchasing a Switch, Wii U, or 3DS game on the site, PayPal is an option if you’re short on funds.

We are seeing the PayPal option on Switch in Japan at present. However, nothing appears to be live in North America or Europe. Today’s announcement did indicate that the PayPal option will be extended worldwide, so we’ll let you know if we see anything.
