Earthlock: Festival of Magic is on track to hit Wii U in early 2017. However, that might not be the only Nintendo console the game will be on.

SnowCastle Games has expressed significant interest in a Switch version. After Nintendo Everything reader Mahdi emailed the developer, CEO Bendik Stang said that he and the rest of the team “plan to have Earthlock ready for Switch launch in March 2017” if Nintendo lets them.

Regardless of whether Earthlock is ready for Switch’s release, it sounds like there’s a high chance of it heading to Nintendo’s new console at some point.

SnowCastle Games is still planning on bringing Earthlock: Festival of Magic to Wii U. Today, the indie developer shared a status update in a new Kickstarter post.

A third-party service is now in play for the Wii U version of Earthlock. “This will allow us to release the game sooner,” SnowCastle said. The PlayStation 4 version is currently planned for early 2017, and the Wii U version “looks to be in the similar time frame”.

Earthlock: Festival of Magic is a Kickstarter-funded RPG by SnowCastle Games that’s currently in the final stages of development. While it’s looking like the Wii U version won’t be the first one out the gate, SnowCastle Games are determined to release it as soon as possible. Here’s their statement from their latest Kickstarter update:

We are dead set on getting the game out on Wii U. We believe our backers deserve it and on the contrary to what some say, we also believe there is still a Wii U market worth pursuing. How long it takes we don’t know, but we really, really want to launch on Wii U in good time before the holiday season. (That means November)
