GameMaker Studio 2 dev says 'lots of devs' reached out when Switch support was announced

A portion of an NWR interview with YoYo Games' General Manager James Cox...

NWR: Since the announcement that GameMaker Studio 2 will launch for the Switch, did any developers reach out to you to request certain features, or was the engine built based on your own development experiences?

JC: Since the announcement, we have lots of developers contacting us for early access, rather than specific features! Our starting point has always been that we want to make all the features available, and we worked with some of our most successful developers at the outset to make sure games like Hyper Light Drifter, Undertale and Nidhogg 2 would pass lot check and work well on the Nintendo Switch.
