A number of new games were announced for Switch during yesterday’s Nintendo Direct, including No Man’s Sky. What you might be surprised to hear is that it’s been a big passion project for developer Hello Games.
In a blog post, Hello Games managing director Sean Murray mentioned that the studio has been tinkering away on the Switch port for a “couple of years”.
