If you've been looking forward to trying out Ubisoft's Growtopia on Switch then, well... We don't know what to tell you.
Back in February, a Taiwanese rating for the MMO sandbox game suggested that a Switch version could well on the way. A month later, the game appeared on Nintendo's very own website, which we took as confirmation that a Switch release was imminent (we've got a screenshot of the page listing for you below). The release date of 28th March was confusing - the listing appeared the day after on 29th March and there was no sign of the game on the eShop - but still.
Now, though, heading to that very URL returns what we like to refer to as a 'Wario Whoops' page, or Nintendo's standard error page if you're the boring sort. If you don't believe it existed, a quick Google of 'Growtopia Switch' brings it up as a result.
Things get weirder still, though. Lootpots reports that on 8th May, the page swapped its lead image for a shiny new Switch trailer, complete with the Switch 'click' logo and branding. Taking down the whole page for an error in a video seems like a pretty drastic action, but what else could the reasoning be?
We'll make sure to keep an eye out for any more news on this one going forward. Would you like to see Growtopia on Switch? Let us know.

The reason ?
Keeping silence for a "surprise" announcement at E3 direct
I posted about this on the official Growtopia Forums two times and later, administrators closed my threads saying they have lots of exciting things coming. I believe it's coming in a few months.
@Kamalen I don't think Ubisoft would do that just for a sandbox MMO game. I play Growtopia, by the way.
I'm growing tired of waiting for this game.
Admit it, Switch is too underpowered to run it.
Good..................................................................................................................................................................................................................it literally ahs to be words. F88k you Nintendo life and your ridiculous forced comments.
@YANDMAN
Thank goodness your reaction to it isn't ridiculous, eh?
I love how casuals have complained for years that beautifully designed video games are too difficult to play, but then somehow adore playing crap like this pixel mess.
@Ooyah I kept it low key.
Seems really fun!
The game is going to be a Nintendo switch online free game and they took it off the listing for a game to be sold because it's not going to be sold it's going to be offered just the same as Tetris 99 is
Yesterday I got Wario errors for all the Steamworld games, and Saints Row. Maybe they were just working on the website? Havent checked back yet. NA if that matters.
I played this game for a few months a few years back; it may not be my exact cup of tea, but it had a certain charm about it, and I enjoyed it quite a bit
I’ve never even heard of this game
I was always fond of this game, sad to see that the switch version is getting canceled/delayed
more games that get physical the better.
Honestly, I’m fine with this staying on mobile phones
