This is going to miss the Switch and end up on the Switch 2 instead, isn't it?

I have enough of a backlog for the Switch that I don't really feel the need to jump on the Switch 2 right away.  A side effect of that is that I've become nervous about any in-development Switch game that I'm interested in not getting completed in time for a Switch release to make sense.  If it doesn't have a set 2024 release date I have my doubts.  From a business perspective does it even make sense for Level-5 to release a bunch of Switch games right at the end of that system's life?

Ugh, this was one of my most anticipated games for this fall simply based on how much I enjoyed Fantasy Life on the 3DS!

...That said, you're right Ian Sane ^_^' I have enough of a backlog this isn't actually an inconvenience for me at all. If it stays on the Switch I can just play it on the Switch 2 assuming that's backwards compatible.
