Considering the original was also released on Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 &#8211; Sony and Microsoft&#8217;s current consoles at the time &#8211; it really wasn&#8217;t surprising to see that the Switch wasn&#8217;t included in its remaster line-up.<\/p>\n<p>However, buried within the Windows version of the game are the icons seen below. These images are present in the game&#8217;s files, along with an\u00a0XML file which lists them all individually. The images and text files are reportedly in the same style as those on other platforms, despite a Switch version never being publically on the cards.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"picture strip\">\n<div class=\"img\"><a title=\"Icons\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/9d00f4cab39a3\/icons.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/9d00f4cab39a3\/icons.900x.jpg\" alt=\"Icons\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside class=\"picture strip\">\n<div class=\"img\"><a title=\"XML\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/b116e232fe4c2\/xml.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/b116e232fe4c2\/xml.900x.jpg\" alt=\"XML\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>So, does this mean that a Switch version is on the way? Possibly. Of course, it&#8217;s impossible to know for sure until an official announcement is made &#8211; the icons could simply be there as a kind of placeholder, just in case a Switch version ever did come about. This seems unlikely, however, as the extra work needed to create something that wouldn&#8217;t definitely be used seems counter-productive.<\/p>\n<p>The most likely scenario here is that either a Switch version is indeed in development, or it was at the very least discussed as a high possibility. All going well, we&#8217;ll hear something about this from an official source in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p><em>Until then, why not let us know if you think the game could be coming to Switch in the comments below?
