The Nintendo Switch is hosting a lot of indie games right now, and during a recent interview with Twinfinite Luc Bernard, Chief Creative Officer of studio Arcade Distillery, has claimed that the Switch is the easiest platform to work with.

"Each platform has their own set of rules and submission processes. The easiest so far has been Switch," he said. "I can't mention much because of NDAs, but that's the easiest one," he said. "[They're] fast with E-mails, easy to get a hold of with developers - Nintendo has done a complete [180]. They're pretty much how Sony was years ago. Sony was at the height of the indie scene and now it's become kind of Nintendo who's like that."

"Now I know how to work with [all of them], but PlayStation isn't as user-friendly. That's the most I'll say."

This isn't totally surprising considering the Switch's status as the home of indie gems, but it's very interesting to hear this straight from a developer. Do you like the Switch as a platform?
