Yep, New Star (Soccer) Manager fans, you'd better be listening 'cos today there's some exciting news. New Star Manager is being developed for Nintendo Switch, though we don't know when to expect it just yet.

If you've played the game before you'll probably get how much fun it is and how addictive. If not, but you do like sports management games, you should check out Harry's review of it here. He gave it a highly coveted Platinum Award after sinking over 70 hours into it on mobile, saying "New Star Soccer Manager takes the frame of the original game, and builds something utterly wonderful on top of it."

Unlike a lot of soccer manager games, here you're only focussing on the results of your labour. You can't play matches in full, but you can play out the attacking highlights.

Sadly, we can't chat specifics at the moment. As New Star Games announced on Twitter today, they're still working on getting the controls just right. And though the price is still being debated, it will definitely be premium like its PC and Mac releases.
