Now, both games are coming to Switch, and they’ve decided to do a bundle again–apparently, much to the chagrin of Nintendo. According to Video Game Chronicle, when No More Robots learned that Neon Polygons “didn’t have the finances” to release on Switch, they decided to publish the platforming game so both games could release together.

This is so wholesome, I'll buy the bundle just for this probably, but if you would name your game as a Nintendo game, they will sue you to death. :/

If you can, take a look to both games, they both bring some interesting ideas!

    And it’s excellent marketing. I doubt either of these games, in isolation, would have gotten much press coverage yet here we all are, talking about both of these titles.

    Better marketing than N*ntendo and their marketing zombies that pay for the same shit as many times you sell it to them without even creating a good product

    yeah I hate Shitendo

    I also hate Nintendo but is crazy to say their marketing is shit while realising that they managed to sell the same product multiple times to their rabid fans. They make good games, I have never bought and never will buy or play one but lot of people agree that it's an evil company selling good products. Don't mix hate with misinformation.

    No, no. I agree their marketing is awesome, I was too frustrates to say it another way, my point was that in my point of view, they have a so successful marketing that they don't even need to really care to do marketing themselves (like GTA 6) because their fans will do all their job for them.
