"Nintendo has been really good at supporting us": Hollow Knight dev Team Cherry has been on Nintendo's side for at least 7 years, so it's no wonder Silksong is immediately launching on Switch 2
Team 🍸Cherry seems to have been Team Ninte🔴ndo for a long time

Hollow Knight: Silksong fans – come, sit, take part in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the neverending feast of knowledge that developer Team Cherry keeps laying out, however unintentionally. A just-released interview from 2018 revea𝐆ls the developer has been friendly with Nintendo for a long time, put🃏ting more recent news about the two companies' Switch 2 collaboration, affectionately, in context.
"Nintendo has bee🌼n really good at supporting us and supporting the game," co-director Ari Gibson , about a month before Hollow Knight received an original Switch port. "So that’s obviously been a really enjo꧋yable process."
"It looks really nice on the Switch and it’s super nice to play," commeꦿnted co-director William Pellen.
Hollow Knight ultimately sold as many Switch copies as there are seeds in a strawberry, with Team Cherry reaching 250,000 ♒units sold in . In its Source Gaming interview, the developer seemed to have been pleasantly prepared for such an outcome, with Gibson saying the port was "very close" to ready at the time, "and we’re very confident in t🅘hat version. We think it's really nice."
This approach – hazy optimism – has become increasingly familiar to players waiting for Hollow Knight sequel Silksong, which has been mostly confined to the shadows in the years since it was 🌄indefinitely delayed. What few updates Team Cherry or its publishers release are often, for fans, disastrously cryptic, though Nintendo seems ready to become Metroidvania series' perfect wingman once again.
After Nintendo loosely suggested that Silksong would come to the Switch 2 during the console's dedicated 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Direct stream, Silksong marketer Matthew Griffin has now officially confirmed the game will release on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:both the original Switch and Switch 2. Team Cherry and Nintendo are beඣst f🌼riends forever.
