Kairosoft is bringing a bunch of its sims, including Game Dev Story, to Switch
Japanese micro-sim specialist Kairosoft has announced that it's bringing a number of its titles to Switch next week, including wonderful break-out hit Game Dev Story.
Game Dev Story, which puts players in charge of their own video game studio, released on iOS back in 2010. Its casual, endearingly presented (yet incredibly compelling) take on the classic management sim formula went down a storm, and Kairosoft followed it up with numerous other mobile games - all featuring a similar template but a variety of themes, from shopping malls to race cars to cruise ships to anime studios.
Of course, by the time that Game Dev Story struck it big over here, Kairosoft was already a well-established studio in Japan, and had built-up a massive catalogue of PC and mobile games since its inception in the mid-90s. However, while many of its older titles would eventually make it to mobile in the west - both on iOS and Android - the company never quite got around to releasing its games on other platforms via western storefronts.
