Bastion and Transistor coming to Nintendo Switch

Supergiant Games announced during the Nintendo Nindies showcase earlier today that the studio's acclaimed RPG titles Bastion and Transistor will release for Nintendo Switch this fall. Bastion, the studio's debut game will launch on the eShop for on September 13 for $14.99. Transistor will release later on November 1 for $19.99.

The studio's third game, Pyre, released last year, but won't be coming to the Switch for the time being. "With Bastion and Transistor coming to the Switch, you might be wondering, what about our third and latest game, Pyre? The thing is, our games are built on our own custom tech so it's not a small undertaking for us to bring them to new platforms. So, while we haven't ruled anything out for the future, currently we don't have plans to bring Pyre to other platforms."
