RetroMania will be delayed on the Nintendo Switch.
RetroMania Wrestling, the spiritual successor to the 1991 arcade game WWF WrestleFest, is set to be released this Friday on the PC. It was also set to be released this Friday on the Nintendo Switch but a new update sent by Retrosoft to those who pre-ordered the game reveals that the Nintendo Switch game will be delayed at least two weeks
From Retrosoft:
Hello Everyone!!!!
Hope everyone is doing well. We are getting so close to release! I wanted to take the time to email everyone who preordered to make sure you are up to date with all the latest info on the game.
For those of you who preordered the PC\Steam version, we are on time and will be releasing on February 26th as planned. You will receive your download code via the email you provided when ordering which is the same that this email was sent to.
For those of you who preordered the Switch version, we will most likely have a slight delay. We do not expect the delay to be more than two weeks and are hopeful it is less than that. This is all on me for taking some extra development time to do a couple more passes of trying to find bugs in the game before submitting and one issue has come up during the certification process that we have already addressed but has delayed us. As soon as we can release on Switch you will receive an email with your code. I do apologize for the additional short delay as I know you are all anxious to start playing. As I have said all along, I did not want to rush this game out unfinished, but no one more than me wants to get this in your hands ASAP. Thank you for your patience. The game looks and plays great on the Switch with minimal load times. You all will love it!
For those who preordered the digital PLUS version of the game, your codes will be sent via email as well. The physical items will be shipped at the end of this week and the beginning of the following week. The extras came out AWESOME and I know you will be incredibly happy with them. We have received some updates of addresses as I know some of you preordered a long time ago. If anyone needs to change your address, please email [email protected] as soon as you can.
Lastly, I just want to say thank you to all of you as we start the launch of the game. Every preorder gave me reassurance that we were doing something that a lot of people will love to play. We have some cool plans to add more content if the game takes off like I think it will. If at any time you have any questions or concerns, please email me directly at [email protected].
