Playful Studios explains why Switch is the perfect platform for New Super Lucky's Tale
New Super Lucky's Tale hit the Switch recently, and the developers behind it couldn't be more excited. 3D platformers just seem at home on Switch, and developer Playful knows it. In an interview with NintendoEverything, Playful discusses why they felt it was right to bring the game to Switch.
After the launch of the last Lucky game (Super Lucky’s Tale on Xbox One), we felt like there was more we wanted to accomplish with the franchise. Every team member voiced how passionately they felt about spending more time so we could create the definitive version of a Lucky game.
In order to achieve this, we had to find a way to do it on our own. Playful supported that passion by investing our own money and time to reimagine and expand the game in all the ways we were excited about. A lot of work went into this game, and we truly hope players enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed making it!
The Nintendo Switch is the perfect platform for New Super Lucky’s Tale. Its broad player base fits the style and genre of the game we’re making, and we believe its community has a hunger (as we do) for more delightful platforming games. Plus, being able to take the game on the go is a huge added benefit!
So, when Nintendo approached us about helping Lucky reach as many players as possible, we could not resist! Everyone we’ve worked with at Nintendo has demonstrated a lot of love for Lucky, and their support, passion, and excitement over New Super Lucky’s Tale has been amazing. From our initial announcement at E3 to everything leading up to launch, Nintendo has helped to bring awareness of the game to millions of new players around the world; certainly more than we could ever have reached on our own!
