Indie game dev "goofs too close to the sun" and gets their game temporarily barred by Nintendo for joking about teaching kids to gamble

Sunshine Shuffle

Sunshine Shuffle is a "narrative poker adventure" in which you discover the story of a bank robbery over a game of cards, and everyone involved is a cute little animal. It was supposed to launch on PC and Nintendo Switch last week, but it got delayed after its developer "goofed to close to the sun."

In a TikTok last week, developer Xalavier Nelson told fans that he wasn't sure if Sunshine Shuffle would make its Switch release date. By way of explanation, he told viewers that he'd had to tell Nintendo three times "whether or not our new game enables child gambling."
