As of this week, Amazon announced that it’s pulling the plug on King of Meat. Released less than six months ago, King of Meat was developed by Glowmade and is a co-op platformer that puts a heavy emphasis on custom creator-made content. Sadly, King of Meat failed to garner a sizable player base at all, which has resulted in Amazon choosing to shut it down for good on April 9th. Because of this decision, work on the Nintendo Switch edition of King of Meat has been immediately canceled, which means that Nintendo users will never get the chance to try the game out for themselves.
This Game Could Have Thrived on Switch
It’s particularly disappointing to see that King of Meat won’t end up coming to Switch platforms, as Nintendo players might have been most receptive to the game. Platforming games have a long history of being popular on Nintendo hardware dating back to the original NES. As such, there’s reason to believe that King of Meat could have found a greater audience on Switch and perhaps should been made a greater priority for developer Glowmade.
