YEAH I want Chicken Wiggle on Switch ⊟

Atooi’s cute 3DS platformer/DIY level editor Chicken Wiggle is now headed to the Switch... maybe. The developer will run a Kickstarter on March 6 to raise funds to get it there “with beautiful new HD artwork.”

As always, I hold the belief that all games should be on Switch. I’m hardly alone in that conviction. And I want to play this!

Per a post on X (formerly Twitter) by developer and publisher Atooi, Dementium: The Ward will be released on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on April 19, 2024. The game will feature a number of display options, trophy support (including a Platinum Trophy), and more.

Originally released in 2007 on the Nintendo DS, Dementium: The Ward was developed by the now-defunct developer Renegade Kid. The title later received a Nintendo DS sequel while the original was remastered for the Nintendo 3DS in 2015. Atooi later announced that they had the rights to the series and released a Nintendo Switch port last year on October 12, 2023.

Dementium: The Ward was originally pitched as a Silent Hill game, though Konami turned it down. While the original title was a Nintendo DS game, the latest post from Atooi includes a quote that the game “is built from the ground up for the big screen, combining smooth first-person shooter gameplay with a demented tale of mystery and terror – all running at a silky 60 frames per second.”

The PC version of horror first-person shooter Dementium: The Ward will launch via Steam on October 27, developer atooi announced.

Dementium: The Ward first launched for DS on October 31, 2007, followed by 3DS on December 3, 2015, Switch on October 12, 2023, and PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on April 19, 2024.

Here is an overview of the game, via atooi:

Classic DS horror reborn. Step into the twisted halls of Dementium: The Ward, the cult classic survival horror that redefined handheld terror, now remastered for PC. Awakening alone in a derelict hospital with no memory of how you got there, you’ll confront grotesque creatures, unravel a chilling mystery, and struggle to survive with nothing but improvised weapons and your wits. Every flicker of light, every echo in the corridor, every drop of blood tells a story you won’t forget. Originally a groundbreaking horror experience on the Nintendo DS, Dementium: The Ward has been reborn for a new generation with enhanced visuals, smoother controls, and the same relentless atmosphere that made it infamous. Equal parts survival challenge and psychological nightmare, it’s a journey into darkness that fans of Silent Hill and Amnesia cannot miss.

Will you escape the ward… or will you be consumed by it?
