Nothing is set in stone, but Kona developer Parabole is interested in a Switch version. That news comes from an interaction with a fan on Twitter today.
@sknygy We want to, but we can't confirm anything. We'll keep everyone updated if we decide to port it on Switch in the future 🙂

Kona is a narrative-driven game. It’s set in 1970, where a strange blizzard is wreaking havoc in Canada’s Atamipek Lake. Players take on the role of private detective Carl Faubert and explore an eerie village, investigate surreal events, and battle the elements to survive.
Thanks to sknygy for the tip.

Ultimate Chicken Horse coming to Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 1 Comment
Ultimate Chicken Horse is coming to consoles, including Switch. Clever Endeavour Games shared the news with Eurogamer today.
Categorized as a party platformer, Ultimate Chicken Horse is a game “where you build the level as you play, taking turns placing traps and hazards and trying to screw your friends out of a win.” There are a bunch of blocks to use, customizable game modes, and more.
Originally, Ultimate Chicken Horse debuted on PC last year. This new version of the game contains a Free Play mode in which players can make their own levels from scratch rather than simply place objects into existing terrain.
Ultimate Chicken Horse doesn’t have a release date on Switch yet, but it’s targeted for this summer. A trailer for the game is below.
MixedBag Games wants to bring forma.8, future projects to Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
MixedBag Games is holding true to its promise of delivering forma.8 on Wii U. However, the team has expressed interest in porting the game – and bringing future projects – to Switch.
When asked about sticking with forma.8’s release on Wii U and the possibility of a Switch version by Nintendo Life, MixedBag co-founder Mauro Fanelli said:
“We’ve promised a Wii U version of the game and there were no chances we wouldn’t deliver on that. Especially considering that we had the Wii U version up and running perfectly from 2015.
We can’t wait to work on Switch and we really hope to be able to port forma.8 and all our future projects on it. It’s such a lovely bit of kit!”
You’ll be able to pick up forma.8 on the Wii U eShop very soon – it’s slated for February 28.

Young Horses working on non-Octodad related game, hoping to bring it to Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 9 Comments
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.
— Kevin Geisler 🍔 (@luthyr) February 10, 2017
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.
