We have good (and bad) news for everyone who has been waiting for Hatch Tales to come to Nintendo Switch.
First, Atooi’s Jools Watsham announced the development finally complete in the latest Kickstarter update. However, there has been another “last minute delay”, due to a whirlwind of activity this month. The developer is now “one step away” from submitting the game to Nintendo for “final approval”, so expect another update soon:
“Once Nintendo approves Hatch Tales, we’ll let you know the final release date.”
Watsham acknowledges the fact that Hatch Tales was due next week August 23, 2024 and apologizes for the latest delay – mentioning how the team realizes “this last-minute delay could be frustrating” and thanks everyone for their patience.
If you’re curious to see how the game is progressing, a “developer deep dive” was shared in June, showcasing the first six levels of Hatch Tales. In the latest update for supporters, Jules also shared a “sneak peek” at one of the bonus “Chibi-Mudds” levels you’ll be able to unlock in Hatch Tales, a game inspired by Mutant Mudds.
You can learn more about Hatch Tales (which has been in the works for over six years now), the Kickstarter project, and the ongoing delays in our previous coverage here on Nintendo Life. As we mentioned before, this title (formerly known as ‘Chicken Wiggle Workshop‘) was originally crowdfunded in early 2018 (with an initial estimated delivery in December 2018).
