Notably, none of these have ever seen a release on Nintendo consoles, but with Atari&#8217;s focus on multi-platform titles in recent years, it&#8217;s reasonable to assume that some (if not all) may gain new life on the Switch and\/or Switch 2.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, but Atari has expressed its desire to &#8220;expand and evolve&#8221; all five games, though what this might look like is unclear for the time being.<\/p>\n<p>Child of Eden in particular is a good find for Atari, in our eyes. Originally released in 2011 for the Xbox 360 and PS3, the musical rail-shooter was directed by Tetsuya Mizuguchi, who has since gone on to achieve remarkable success with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/tetris_effect_connected\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tetris Effect<\/a>, and currently serves as the executive producer for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/lumines_arise\" class=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lumines Arise<\/a>, due for release on the PS5 later this year.<\/p>\n<p>The game also included optional motion controls via Microsoft&#8217;s Kinect and the PlayStation Move, so we reckon this would translate quite easily to the Switch Joy-Con. Though it is playable with standard controls, of course.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from that, we&#8217;re also quite fond of Grow Home and Grow Up; two adorable platform titles with minimal, low poly visuals. We&#8217;re definitely excited to see what Atari can do with these games, and indeed all five titles, in the months and years ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Are you hoping to see these games launch on the Switch and\/or Switch 2?
