Hello-Fi Rush may be coming to the Nintendo Swap – WGB

Rumours have begun swirling that Xbox-exclusive Hello-Fi Rush may be coming to the Nintendo Swap. Is there any reality to them?

This hearsay first gained traction when NateTheHate introduced up a possible Xbox-exclusive recreation coming to different platforms this 12 months.

In the course of the podcast, which was speaking about predictions for the approaching 12 months, Nate and MVG touched upon the subject of Microsoft probably bringing choose titles to platforms exterior of Xbox and PC.

NateTheHate had one thing fairly particular in thoughts, nevertheless, stating: “Sure, and the title I’m referring to was met with excessive essential acclaim. Followers liked it. It was within the Recreation of the Yr dialog the 12 months it launched.”

Joking his buddy requested if it was Redfall, to which Nate mentioned that it wasn’t, whereas the pair laughed.

In case you’re bringing choose video games to multiplatform, so exterior of PC to Swap and PlayStation, your competitor’s consoles, you’re doing so since you see the standard of the IP and the franchise.”

The duo go on to deal with the concept of PlayStation and Swap house owners taking part in the sport, being blown away by it, after which Microsoft asserting a sequel a number of years down the road that’s unique to their console, thus probably drawing in new prospects.

Whereas it was shadow-dropped to loads of essential acclaim and loads of reward from avid gamers, it wasn’t an enormous industrial success, regardless of bringing in over 2-million gamers.. Launching it on the Swap could possibly be an effective way to squeeze some additional juice from it and construct hype for a future sequel.

Hello-Fi Rush would even be an ideal alternative as a result of it isn’t one in all Microsoft’s huge triple-A titles, that means they may really feel protected in experimenting with it versus taking one thing like Starfield and shoving it onto PlayStation.

After which there’s the timing.

What higher time to shadow-drop it once more, this time onto the Swap? Plus, there have been leaks of extra Hello-Fi Rush DLC to return.

All of it paints a reasonably compelling image. Might it occur?
