We’re grateful to our long-time collaborators at BlitWorks and Confetti for their efforts bringing over Bastion and Transistor, respectively.”

The developers also noted that each title would be faithfully adapted and optimized for the Nintendo Switch. In addition, the game would be available through the Nintendo eshop digitally as there was no mention of any physical copy.
