Sky Skipper is on the Switch!
Never (ever) in our wildest dreams did we think this would one day happen…. actually seeing Sky Skipper playing on the Switch. But – here we are and it is NICE! July 20th, 2018 – this date will go down in Project history as the day that anyone in the world could download the “Arcade Archives Sky Skipper” game from the Nintendo eShop and play it on the Switch. Pretty amazing when you consider just how...
