The Next Penelope not coming to the Wii U is one of our biggest disappointments with Nintendo's past system; this gorgeous-looking top-down racer played like a dream on Steam and would have been perfect on a console. Sadly, it wasn't meant to be - but developer Aurelien Regard said that it was his aim to release the title on Switch at some point.
He's now posted a timely tweet to remind us all that The Next Penelope on Switch is indeed still a "thing", and that a full trailer and release date are forthcoming.
Set in a futuristic version of ancient Greece, the game is like a cross between Micro Machines, Wipeout and a 360-degree shooter, with racing levels sitting alongside epic boss fights. We loved the game when we played it on PC, so this should be one to look out for on Switch.

1st day purchase
This is very frustrating to watch, the camera jerking around and zooming in and out. The action/racing doesn't appear to flow smoothly either.
Maybe it plays differently, but I'm not sold on the video.
Nice little game for what it was, I gave it a full review a while back if anyone's interested.

Very much looking forward to Aurelien's new game Away though.

Day 1 for me. Heck, Id buy it right now if I could.
too much screen-shake. looks designed to induce stage 2 epilepsy
Since it is placed in ancient Greece could we have Greek UI and subtitles? It'd make Penelope happy, that's for sure
(ps: I'll gladly help with Greek translation)
Kind of looks like F-zero! Never heard this game before now.
Yes, please.
