Nintendo Switch

I know it was stated in March that a Switch version wasn't out of the question, but wasn't being worked on. With the long delay (6-9 months), is there a chance we could see a Switch version?

I enjoyed the first game but I won't lie - MLB The Show is still my baseball fix. It's just too great. But Super Mega Baseball is a fantastic game as well that's a lot of fun and I was hoping to have that fun on the go (since instead of sitting at my computer, I'd just flick on my PS4 and play The Show).

Hoping it's coming. I'll likely still support the game either way, but I know I'd get a lot more use out of it on the Switch.

It's still a 'not yet' kind of a thing. Not much has changed on that front, but we do recognize that so many people are requesting it!

Ah, okay cool. Hope to hear good news in the future since my regular baseball fix is taken up with the Show, but this game would be incredible on the go!

The game engine they used for SMB 1 and are probably using for SMB 2 doesn't currently support Nintendo products.

That really sucks, Hamm. Way to disappoint my life. :P

I guess it wouldn't be very cost effective for them to port it to the Switch since they would need to switch engines. I know DRAGON QUEST BUILDERS is being ported to the Switch and it was made with PhyreEngine, but that's also from a huge company with never ending pockets.

The only thing I can say is indie games seem to sell well on the Switch as Shovel Knight sold more copies in it's first week of release than on any other platform.

I think it would probably depend on Nintendo and how well they support indie developers with tools. Super Mega Baseball got off the ground on the PS4 and was able to move to 5 other platforms because Sony gave them a game engine to use.

Since the first game ran on nVidia shield it would be nice to see what a title could do on the Switch since that seems like a great platform for this type game, especially for local multiplayer.

Give me a reason to buy a SWITCH!

lol

As a Switch owner, I would love to see this game on the Switch. I have the original SMB on my PC and I would buy the Switch version in a heartbeat.

I totally feel that this is exactly the style of game that would smash sales targets on the Switch, which is very much lacking in sports titles to begin with.

Agreed. Hopefully they don't wait to long and let another company release a baseball game (ie: not RBI) to overtake the Switch.
