Grey Alien Games have announced that they are bringing Regency Solitaire to the Nintendo Switch. It will launch on October 19th in Europe and North America, and it’s now available for digital pre-order. It costs 10.99€ / £9.99 / $11.99, but there’s a 20% off discount available until launch day!

This version of the game was developed by Coldwild Games, who did a full rewrite of the original code (in BlitzMax) to Unity. But it wasn’t the only challenge the developers encountered when porting the Regency Solitaire to Nintendo Switch:

Actually there were quite a lof of changes on pretty much every screen/dialog to support Joy Con controls. It's not a trivial task to add such controls to a previously mouse only-based game.
