To Engine Software&#8217;s knowledge &#8211; a Switch version is <em>not<\/em> in the works right now, but if Suda51 wants to change that, the talented port experts are happy to listen.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;As far as we know a Killer7 Switch version is currently not in the works. We have at least not discussed this with Suda-San. But who knows what the future brings? We have our hands full with Scott Pilgrim, TOCS4 and Ys IX but if Suda-San wants to work with us again we will of course always listen!&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<p>This follows on from a statement Ruud <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2020\/08\/turns_out_engine_software_isnt_bringing_killer7_to_the_nintendo_switch\">provided Nintendo Life with in August<\/a>, explaining how a Nintendo Switch version of Killer7 was &#8220;never&#8221; originally in development under Engine Software.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;<em>It was never in development.<\/em> When we started working with Suda-San on the PC version, it was an on-going discussion during development, but as I said &#8211; in the end, the decision was made not to work on a Switch version. But since it was part of the initial discussion it was still internally listed as &#8220;Killer7 &#8211; PC\/Switch project&#8221; which is where the confusion came from.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So, what can we take away from all of this? Once again &#8211; Engine Software is <em>not<\/em> currently working on a port of Killer7 for Switch. If there is a port in development, it would mean this company is seemingly not involved. And if such a port <em>isn&#8217;t<\/em> in the works (yet) and Suda51 wants to team up with Engine Software again, it is &#8220;of course&#8221; happy to listen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this week, No More Heroes and No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle got announced for the Nintendo Switch.
