14 years after it was first revealed (yes, 14 years<\/em>), The Binding of Isaac<\/a> and Super Meat Boy<\/a> co-creator Edmund McMillen finally launched Mewgenics<\/a><\/strong> last week. This turn-based tactical roguelike where you breed cats has been a huge hit on Steam, selling over 500,000 copies [edit: now at a million<\/a>] and taking the crown for the highest concurrent player count for a roguelike of all-time ever<\/em> from Hades II.<\/a><\/p>\n

Naturally, desire for a console port has only grown since release, but McMillen has reassured fans on social media<\/a> that the team is “working on” a console release (via Eurogamer<\/a>).<\/p>\n

That surely includes either Switch 1 or Switch 2, and thanks to some digging by Nintenduo<\/a>, Switch 2 is absolutely in consideration, depending on the publisher.<\/p>\n

On r\/SteamDeck<\/a>, McMillen held an AMA right before the game’s 10th February release date, and when someone asked about a PlayStation 4 or 5 version, the developer confirmed “we are deciding on a publisher now and defer to them when it comes to what they feel is worth developing for”.<\/p>\n

But of all the consoles out right now, McMillen thinks that “Switch 2 seems like the front runner right now”.<\/p>\n
