Cosmic Star Heroine creator “optimistic” about a Switch port

Zeboyd Games has unfortunately struggled with getting Cosmic Star Heroine on Switch. Despite reaching out to Nintendo numerous times, creator Robert Boyd hasn’t been able to make a port happen.

Fortunately, the game could finally appear on Switch via a third-party. Boyd told USgamer that a contractor has reached out to Zeboyd about a port, “and their terms were quite favorable.” While nothing has been signed just yet, Boyd is “optimistic.”

Cosmic Star Heroine originally debuted last year to a generally favorable reception. Here’s some information about the game, along with a trailer:
