Will we get a proper Umihara Kawase release on modern consoles?

Blade Strangers got me really interested in this game. (Along with Code of Princess and Binding of Isaac).

Platforming around hookshot slinging seems really fun and gratifying. Kinda reminds me of Flinthook, but without the rogue stuff I guess. I wanna pick this up, but its on PC, Vita and 3DS. (Seems like latter 2 platforms are JP only?)

Maybe I'm being a spoiled port-beggar, but I'd love a collection/remaster/new entry on PS4 or Switch. Series would definitely attract more newcommers on current platforms. Have there been any rumblings or teasing about future releases in the west? I wonder if Nicalis has any plans, considering how predominantly they feature the MC on the Blade Strangers cover.

There's one coming to Switch:





That poster was at the Success Corporation booth at Tokyo Game Show 2017. It says "The latest entry in the series!" in the middle of the poster, and, "Planned for release on Nintendo Switch" at the bottom of the poster.

Aaah that's awsome. Hopefully it's not too far off.
