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.
Team Cherry created a new trailer for Hollow Knight, which is heading to Switch soon. View the video below.
As part of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night’s February Kickstarter update, two new enemies are introduced. We have a first look at the flying harpy Aello and the demon beast Gieremund.
Below are the official comments from Bloodstained Koji Igarashi about both enemies:
“Our first new enemy is Aello. This flying harpy keeps its distance from the player. Our original plan was to put her in the ship stage, where she would use physical and wind attacks.
This second enemy is Gieremund, a fast-moving, beast-type demon that attacks on all fours. Guarding against this enemy’s attacks will require quick reflexes.”
Also for the new Kickstarter update, Igarashi interviewed composer Michiru Yamane. Watch the full discussion below.

Young Horses is currently working on a new project, though it won’t have much to do with Octodad. On Twitter, programmer / producer Kevin Geisler mentioned that the team hopes to put it on Switch.
@Q_Mulative @cinemassacres we're working on a non-Octodad related game now which we hope to release on Switch at some point.

On another note, it sounds like Young Horses wanted to have Octodad on Switch just like Wii U, but was told by Nintendo that the company is focusing on new games currently. It could still be an option for the indie developer in the future, but we’ll just have to wait and see if it happens.

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.
