You guys have to educate me on what's wrong with Nicalis.

Delays. Basically anything they touch not called :"Binding of Issac Rebirth" gets delayed for a minimum of a year with absolutely no explanation. Hell, Europe is still waiting for the Switch version of Afterbirth+. They also have a fantastic record of picking up indie games to publish, and said indie games immediately disappearing into the ether, never to be found.

They take forever to release stuff in europe and they completely forgot to ever release 90s arcade racer

Legend of Raven disappeared without a trace too.
I'm sure it'll reappear on Switch, but that doesn't help the me that's been looking forward to it since 2013!
I've had a few devs tell me they are absolutely horrific to work with.
Stay away from them if your a dev.
Yes but we are getting it and our retail pre orders will have Zelda manual and stickers ( at least in AU)
I'll take it

Here.
Also don't forget The 90s Arcade Racer debacle.
It looks like the game is being renamed 90s Super GP for the Switch, PC and PS4 yet you still wouldn't know because Nicalis still hasn't said a lick about any of it.

I remember when I backed the Night Trap kickstarter, they went into detail about their animosity with Nintendo. They weren't interested in doing business with them after the way Nintendo treated them back in the day, and only turned around because of fan outcry. Some things just aren't meant to be.

Oh dear, that is really shitty of them. I was genuinely asking because I only know one of their games and it was pretty good, but had no idea about their horrible track record. Thank you guys for responding.
Only gonna forgive after this shit is released.

Not familiar with Nicalis...is there a reason Night Trap isn't available for XB1?

Well I really wanted 90's Arcade Racer, and it was one of the reasons I got a wii u in 2013 but hey this terrible FMV game that was only ever talked about ironically as an example of 90s fmv cheese is just as good.
Nicalis, all is forgiven.

IT'S A TRAP
Not surprising at all after what happened with 90s Arcade Racer but it's good to hear it from an actual developer.
It's planned, but they wanted to focus on the biggest platforms first.

Not quite, MS has had delays due to their policies. I don't think the devs wanted it to be later for the XB.

What policies?

Something about the approval system, or so I heard.

Are they still bundling stolen mod content into their Cave Story releases?

Can't blame them considering the history.
Although I don't think that's the issue, well, at least not fully.

The main heroine of Xenoblade 2 is more riské (and stupid) than all of Night Trap. Nintendo shouldnt have a problem here.

Is there physical proof this company actually exists?

Congratulations, you really deserve it!
Maybe they will have it ready for the 50th anniversary
It's a shame the Kickstarter for a spiritual successor didn't succeed because honestly, it's a very unique and cool idea.
For how logistically difficult it is to get live action working amongst switching cameras, I do hope this concept is revisited at some point. I think it would of made good use of the Wii U gamepad.

*shrug* I like their physical Switch releases, even though they're priced a bit too high. There's some real effort that went into their contents vs. just throwing the game on a cart and calling it a day.
And despite some bugs, 1001 Spikes on Wii U was definitely a favorite of mine.

Can they finish the UK PS4 version first please?

They are working on a sequel.
I don't know about them as a developer. They might be a total nightmare.
But the 2 Switch releases I bought from them, Issac and Cave Story were both really nice. Good extras (cd and manual) and reasonably priced. As a consumer, I have no problem with them.
