3DS won’t be the only platform where Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs will be offered. In a Kickstarter post today, the team confirmed that new platforms are in the mix, including Switch. JoshProd is on board as a new partner, and it sounds like the company will be publishing the game at retail.

3DS is indeed still a part of the plan. However, on that platform, Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs will be digital only.

Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs will be appearing at Gamescom 2017 this week, so we may be seeing more of the game in just a few days.

The Zoink-developed Fe is on the way to Switch, EA just announced at its Gamescom 2017 media briefing.

Here’s a brief overview:

Fe is a new type of wordless platformer full of sounds. Through Fe, a small cub that suddenly awakes in the forest, players will discover a world they will never want to leave as they use sound to communicate, connect with nature, identify friendly and unfriendly creatures and interpret their own narrative along the way.

Fe isn’t the only new Switch game from Zoink. The studio is also working on Flipping Death for Nintendo’s console.

Fe will be available on Switch in early 2018. View a trailer for the game below, along with today’s full announcement.
