While a lot of people are talking about what they expect to see in today’s Switch presentation, some indie developers are wondering when they’ll receive access to a dev kit. The creator of Cosmic Star Heroine, Robert Boyd, is interested in bringing his game to the console. Boyd says the confirmed compatibility of the system with Unity would make it easy to accomplish.

Yes. Should be a snap given that Unity supports Switch and it has a ton more power than the Vita.

At least so far, LEGO City Undercover on Switch seems to be identical to its Wii U counterpart from a pure content perspective. However, Amazon has revealed a new feature for the upcoming version of the game. Two player co-op is supported so that “friends can explore the sprawling open-world metropolis that is LEGO City”, according to the listing.

You can see the Amazon listing for yourself here. Pre-orders will likely open sometime tomorrow.

Ben Goldhaber, Twitch’s Director of Content Marketing, has sent out information about the upcoming Switch streams. Goldhaber states on his Twitter page that Nintendo is allowing members of the site to “co-stream” the Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017 and Treehouse Live. That means users can stream both events on Twitch without any sort of penalty, such as a takedown.

If you’d like to keep track of yet another stream related to Switch, you may want to keep an eye on what Famitsu is planning tomorrow. Several hours after the Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017, the Japanese magazine will be hosting its own event for about an hour.

It’ll take place at the following times:

– 4 AM PT
– 7 AM ET
– 12 PM in the UK
– 1 PM in Europe

I can’t really say how noteworthy this will be, but I figured we should mention it in passing. It will be a report on the Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017, so it could just be a few folks talking about what was shown. We’ll find out soon.
