Well crap, this game looked like fun and would have been a perfect fit for the Nintendo Switch. Really a shame if you ask us. But what the reason is, is not fully clear. We estimate it being the game was built using Unreal Engine 3 which is not Nintendo Switch compatible sadly.

Parties like Panic Button probably had to go the extra mile for games that came from a similair situation but Gear for Breakfast was quite clear. Well their loss really because it would have been a wonderful fit.
