As was recently announced, Ultimate Chicken Horse is heading to consoles. That thankfully includes Switch. We have Nintendo to thank for it happening (at least partially), since the game’s developer says the big N “pushed pretty hard” for it to happen.

In an interview with Just Pause, Clever Endeavour Games CEO Richard Atlas said:

“The Switch has been an obvious choice for UCH (Ultimate Chicken Horse) since we started hearing rumors of it as the NX. Nintendo is traditionally quite closed about information and working with indies, but they’re doing a better job now and have pushed pretty hard for us to come out on Switch. Now that the information about the console is public, it’s easy to tell why the game is perfect for a party system like theirs.”

Ultimate Chicken Horse should be on Switch this summer if all goes well.

Petite Games is planning another game for 3DS. Yesterday, the indie developer announced Petite Games, sharing a couple of screenshots in the process.

Going by the title and images, it’s obvious to see that you’ll be playing golf. Two modes are included: “Endless” and “Arcade”. The former has players hitting a ball in endless levels while the other involves seeing how far you can go with three trie.

Wayward Souls started out as a mobile game, but it’s now starting to reach new platforms such as PC. A Switch version may also be a possibility in the future.

When asked about Wayward Souls coming to Switch on Facebook, RocketCat Games responded that the team is unsure if it will happen. However, they are “looking into it”.

If you haven’t heard about Wayward Souls in the past, we’ve included a brief overview and trailer below.

“Wayward Souls is an action-adventure dungeon crawler with randomized levels and permanent death. It features quick, twitch-based combat where tactics, positioning, and timing matter, controlled through touchscreen gestures. Two years in the making, it’s designed for quick playthroughs and lots of replay value.”

Thanks to Giorgio B for the tip.

Ore Creative is showing interest in bringing Ira to Switch. The indie developer shared its enthusiasm for the system on Twitter, and actually mentioned checking up on the developer portal daily.

Ira is a point-and-click adventure game. Players will “explore alien landscapes, relive past events, and watch as the nature of reality becomes porous and untrustworthy.”
