Journalist Shannon Liao revealed that during interviews for the article, the Neopets team reportedly said it is “thinking of bringing the game to the Nintendo Switch” but “declined to share further details”. Nothing’s yet set in stone, but according to a new report by the Washington Post (£) that explores the impact of the demise of Adobe Flash on a whole generation of flash games, Neopets’ current development team is reportedly looking to bring it to Nintendo’s family-favourite handheld console.

And yes, even though it’s old enough to drink on both sides of the pond now, Neopets is still going strong today and even has a mobile version out. Since 2014, it’s been run by US developer JumpStart games which is in turn owned by Chinese online gaming publisher NetDragon.
