LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is happening, with Warner Bros. releasing a teaser trailer today. That’ll be followed up with a proper trailer next week.

Technically, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 has not been announced for a Nintendo platform just yet. We’d be shocked if this weren’t on Switch at the very least though.

At Unite 2017 Tokyo, a special panel was held about how the Unity-based I Am Setsuna was brought to Switch. The talk was highlighted by the appearance of Usuke Kumagai from Tokyo RPG Factory. Yuichiro Kitao and Tomoyuki Kurino from Gem Drops were present as well. Gem Drops was involved with programming, graphics and planning support, and the localized version for the Switch version of I Am Setsuna.

To begin, the team heard that Nintendo’s new hardware – known as NX at the time – supported Unity. In order to accumulate know-how on methods of the hardware, the process began of porting I Am Setsuna to Switch.
