Nintendo Switch 2

Didn't expect to see multiple releases of new games including the exact date of chapter 3 and 4. Why do you think Toby has adjusted to Nintendo? I think it's classic “there's no such thing as too much money” and Nintendo slipped some coins in to coincide with the release date.

i figure that Toby just thought that by the time 3 and 4 would come out, the Switch 2 would also be out, so he contacted his buddies at Nintendo to see if they could be a simultaneous release.

I'd be willing to bet Nintendo paid a fair amount to have this game locked down as a launch title for the Switch 2.

It's even confirmed that saves from Switch 1 would be able to be transferred to Switch 2, so there's absolutely no reason they couldn't have launched it for the other 5 platforms and gather the inevitable bug reports for the niche cases that always slip through.

It also seems like Toby has a lot of Japanese connections so that likely helped out.

On the other hand I imagine him and his team could use a break, which, this two month gap would help with.

Kind of bummed we have to wait two months for something that's clearly done just because of launch title but I get it.

On this topic, I genuinely believe my April prediction would have been correct if Toby had not made this deal and just released it whenever it was ready.

I'm pretty much fine with this though. At least I KNOW it won't be coming any week now and can actually play other games without fear until then. That's a big relieve.

Well it got a lot of eyes on it that's for sure, win win for both parties.

I fully agree. With both statements, that is. Now I know when to start replaying the first 2 chapters as to time it perfectly before June 5th! Plus I kept worrying that the chapters would release when I'd be busy over this month and next.

1000% agree with foxassassin and ninja, i feel like the game wouldve come out on april if it wasnt for the switch deal... but at least it's not completely halting progress, they'll still (presumably) be working on chapters 5+

adding to my comment, even though this is a very selfish way to think about it its kind of frustrating to think that if toby had just released chapters the moment they were done on pc without any proffessional bugtesting or translation, we'd have been able to play chapter 3 on like late 2023 and chapter 4 on late 2024 or so

again, this answer is very, very simple. I REPEAT:

so the game can sell and become more profitable.
plus, it gathers more fans. what's the downside?
