The coronavirus pandemic has caused some headaches for video game developers and fans alike. The latest example is the upcoming Nintendo Switch exclusive, Ninjala. GungHo Online Entertainment has announced a delay for their free-to-play title, which they attributed to the global pandemic. The game was originally supposed to launch on May 28th, but has now been bumped back to June 24th. Across social media, fans have expressed their disappointment with the delay, but it seems that most are fairly understanding, given all that’s happening in the world. Fortunately, Switch owners still won’t have too much longer to wait to enjoy some ninja action on the handheld hybrid.

Might be a bit of a stretch.
You think Nintendo forced Ninjala to get delayed so the Switch has an exclusive past May?

Delays seem to be hitting us all a little bit harder, these days.
Ninjala has been delayed by a month. I literally put it on my calendar last night for May. It was coming in 20 days man whyโd they wait so long? I get it of course the pandemic once again screws everything. It was like my most hyped game of the year so far. Everything sucks

On the bright side, it’s more time to spend with other games!
Well, I have bigger priorities than Ninjala. Spongebob Rehydrated is coming out two days beforehand lol.

Seems a little unlikely, but big if true.
Actually I have insider information that they moved so it would be closer to my birthday, very cool Ninjala!
