Oh, so that’s why games tend to release on switch after a several month delay. I always wondered about that.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 3y agoThat’s not the only reason, as far as I’m aware. I believe unless you write your game in such a platform like Unity the Switch architecture and limitations are different enough from other platforms to often warrant significant extra work to port.
