CrossCode

Announced yesterday during Nintendo’s indie games broadcast, CrossCode’s Switch port comes as a particular surprise. It was just a month or so ago that developer Radical Fish implied a Switch release would be very unlikely, due to the game being developed in HTML5 and difficult to port to Switch as a result. Given its heavy inspiration from SNES RPGs, it seems like a natural fit for Switch.

Welp, it looks like Hedgehags learned to fly. #CrossCode for #NintendoSwitch is now confirmed as seen in the recent @NintendoEurope #IndieHighlights showcase! To arrive sometime this year. https://t.co/qLKoCkFvJ7 pic.twitter.com/gnr83vNHmi

Fans of management games, meanwhile, might want to keep an eye on Constructor Plus. As the manage of a corrupt construction company, you’re tasked with building up the city while trying to drive your competitors out of business—by any means necessary. This “Plus” release boasts a wealth of new buildings, worlds, and scenarios to play.

What are you most looking forward to?

(Important note: we’re not including announcements of Switch as a platform for upcoming games, which would usually get their own news coverage anyway. This is list is purely for announcements of Switch ports / re-releases and the like.)
