‘The Thing: Remastered’ On Switch is still MIA in Europe, Nightdive is “waiting on Nintendo”
Studio Nightdive Problem: Remastered launches in North America on December 5, giving Switch gamers in that territory a chance to (re)acquaint themselves with the shooter based on Computer Artwork’s hit squad from 2002.
