Did they post a release date for the Switch version? That'd be nice to know.

no release date yet for Switch or the ps4 x1 update releaes either.  Once the updates are finished on base game i guess it will release on Switch.  Taking ages though PC got done like 5 weeks ago.

Guys I'm still picking this game because A: Nostalgia, and more importantly B: To support Playtonic, so hopefully we get the Sequel or Playtonic s next game. Also I've read a lot of positive comments on YouTube so I'll give it a try and form my own opinion.

Why support playtonic? When they announced the cancelation of the Wii U version due to "unforseen technical difficulties" I called them out on it because they didn't say this until 4 months before release. They would have known way before 4 months if the Wii U version was going to be cancelled or not. 4 months is when they enter debugging stage. 

The sole reason they cancelled it was because of the Switch. Anyways, so I called them out and expressed my disappontment because I backed the game for Wii U, and he told me to shove it. 

Later they did allow people to get refunds, but what kind of company says that to someone?

If I was a games company, I wouldn't release it on Wii u either whats the point. I loved my Wii u but yeah that consoles done, hence why I've moved onto Switch, but I can understand why some people esp backers would be PISSED. 



I don't understand why people are mad at Playtonic Games for the Switch version of the game releasing at a later date ...

It's not their fault that they couldn't foresee and take into account the release of a new platform ... (Likewise Nintendo could've done more on their part since Switch dev kits were only available late last year.)

Sure the WII U version got cancelled but people got refunds in the end, it says more than most kickstarter projects ...

No, I understand why they didn't release it on the Wii U. The problem is the reasoning behind cancelling it, because you know the reason they gave isn't true, + how he talked to me.

Okay...am I the only one who really DOESN'T get why they didn't release it on Wii U? So many of the backers of the game were Wii U owners who got the game for Wii U, they already knew that a lot of people would have it on Wii U because they backed it. And sure maybe it wouldn't get as much sales as Xbox One or PS4, but they were already given the money to fund the Wii U version and give it to Wii U backers, all putting it on the store would do would ensure some extra money. Hell the Switch has had supply issues this entire time, they would get relevance just from the fact that most Wii U owners didn't have a Switch.

Like I can understand small reasons why it shouldn't be on Wii U, but it seems like people are quick to defend the discussion cause "muh flop-u"

Were they actually rude to you if so that's not right 



I really loved the game but can we please get that capital cashino glitch fixed first? and not make me do it again but retroactively give me the pagie I earned?
