Touhou fan games will appear on PlayStation 4 and Vita
nyttyn:
I imagine that them announcing this and any potential demo at Retaisai is simply gauging interest, since in the past Aquasoft has released their games with I imagine a not inconsiderable amount of support and financial backing from the Play Doujin! platform. As it wouldn't be a option if they put anything on the switch, they'd have to seek a different investor. I can't help but wonder if they're already in talks with Nippon Ichi over that, as they've already partnered with the american branch in the past, and the company seems interested in having a presence on the switch.
But again, I imagine it's only talks and interest gauging right now, and it's entirely possible they won't go anywhere.
Just like my hopes for us getting Reloaded localized after the base game got such a lukewarm reception

The three main points of the tweet are "the Switch hardware is very interesting and I wanted to see a FushiGen at-home and on-the-go"; "Because I only just started tinkering for inspection purposes please note there might not be a test display at Reitaisai"; and the last line is "Everything from here on is undecided / we have no plans", for cripes' sake. This is absolutely not an announcement of anything besides that they seem to have a dev kit.

Nice to have that cleared up. I only found out about this news recently and I'm just currently in disbelief that it would be this quick for PlayDoujin to suddenly go off onto another system after this deal that seems pretty exclusive with Sony.
I will say though with how the Vita is somewhat on the way out among the Switch currently doing well I would probably expect that the Switch might be an option but there has to be way more legal stuff to go through to ensure that this doesn't breach anything with Sony or the PlayDoujin stuff as well. It'd be cool to see but right now it's too soon. (Also as an owner of of a PS4, Vita and Switch I feel this isn't too detrimental for me though I wouldn't mind seeing Switch ports since my Vita currently has some nasty scratches on it).
N-Forza:
I actually had a chance to ask D.N.A. about this and it seems like PlayDoujin isn't a Sony-exclusive publisher or anything, they were just the easiest ones to work with. If a Switch version can be made, it seems likely to go through.
Quwanti:
Having a fangame for the Switch is now a reality.

Wow, it's actually happened! Doujin games have come a really long way~
Still curious why NSIA always releases older games though (not really a bad thing as long as they don't translate Rumia as Lumia again....)
