This system is becoming such a beast
Nintendo hosted anindie game showcase eventtoday but even that wasn’t enough to cover all of the day’s Switch port news. As withNidhogg 2, we’ve since learned thatHyper Light Drifteris also coming to the platform. Heart Machine and Abylight Studios are aiming for a summer 2018 release.

The Switch version will be made possible thanks in part to a newexport-to-Switch featurefor developers using GameMaker Studio 2. In today’s announcement, Abylight said it is “working closely” with GameMaker creator YoYo Games, asHyper Light Drifter“pushed the technical envelope.”
HLDwas definitely near the top of the most-wanted list, right up there withUndertale. I hope even more of these fan-favorite GameMaker titles find their way onto Switch this year.
