SteamWorld Quest Not Coming To 3DS As SteamWorld Games On Switch Outsell 3DS By Many Times

In the latest Miketendo64 interview with Image & Form CEO Brjánn Sigurgeirsson, the CEO was asked whether the studio would bring SteamWorld Quest to Nintendo 3DS, similar to what they did with SteamWorld Dig 2.

Sigurgeirsson ruled out a 3DS release for SteamWorld Quest, as based on internal sales data, the Switch versions of all Image & Form games are outselling the 3DS versions by many times. He also revealed that most 3DS owners have already switched to buying indie titles on the Switch, rather than the 3DS.

Here are his full words:

Brjánn Sigurgeirsson: It’s a very good question, and the very good answer is that Quest won’t come to 3DS, unfortunately. We brought SW Dig 2 – and all the others before that, of course – to Nintendo 3DS. We were taken aback by how “well” the Switch had replaced the 3DS in terms of digital sales. It’s safe to say that although there are many 3DS owners, the ones that were tech-savvy enough to buy games from the eShop were also tech-savvy enough to switch to, well, Nintendo Switch. I track our sales meticulously, and you wouldn’t believe me if I told you by how many times the Switch versions of our games outsell the 3DS versions.

Thanks, Miketendo64.
