Dark Souls Remastered Delayed on Switch to Summer 2018
Due to the nature of causality, we must announce that the Nintendo Switch version of #DarkSoulsRemastered will be pushed back to summer of 2018, and with it, the release of the Solaire of Astora amiibo.

PC/PS4/X1 versions will maintain their May 25th release date.
This comes at a bit of a surprise, as just last week the game was given a playable demo at PAX East 2018, along with various gameplay footage showing the game running quite well on the handheld. Whether this is because of performance issues in late game, or some other problem specifically with the Switch version is unknown at this time.
As someone who has preordered the game for the Switch specifically for it's portability aspect, I must say I'm rather disappointed. I would've loved to play the game along with everyone else during it's launch period, but now it looks like I'm either going to have to wait, or swap my preorder to another version of the game.
Has anyone else preordered the Switch version of Dark Souls? If so, how do you feel about this delay?
