2064: Read Only Memories Integral was originally planned for release this week – specifically April 5. Yet with tomorrow fast approaching, we haven’t heard much about the game as of late. It’s no surprise then that, unfortunately, it’s being hit with a delay.
MidBoss says on Twitter that the team encountered some issues during the final certification process of 2064: Read Only Memories Integral. While it will take “a few weeks to fix these final items”, the delay shouldn’t be too long. A new release date will be announced soon.
Hey everyone! Important news: We ran into a few issues with final cert on Switch for 2064: ROM Integral, and we'll need a few weeks to fix these final items. We'll be announcing a new release date very shortly, and it won't be too far out. Thank you for your patience!

Dan Smith won a BAFTA Young Game Designer award back in 2016 for his prototype Spectrum. Now Smith is teaming up with Ripstone to fully develop the game as The Spectrum Retreat, which is coming to Switch.
The Spectrum Retreat is a first-person puzzle action title. You’ll be “exploring the pristine and uncanny hotel, The Penrose, solving its ingenious color-coded puzzles and discovering the reasons behind their seemingly never-ending stay.”
Next week, the indie event Tokyo Sandbox will be held in Japan. A new game that we didn’t know was planned for Switch previously will be at the event. Videokid, developed by PixelTrip Studios, is now confirmed for the console.
Videokid is an arcade style skate game that’s set in a 1980s neighborhood. You’ll be performing skate moves through hazardous streets, avoid being busted by the cops, and pulling off combos.
Videokid currently does not have a release date on Switch. We have further information and a trailer below.
