Could we see more 3rd party titles to the Nintendo Switch in 2018? Maybe from someone like Koei Tecmo?
3rd party support was a big part of Nintendo Switch’s 2017 lineup, and many are hoping that 2018 will be the same way. One publisher has stepped up by saying that they’re up for bringing old and new IP’s to the system all over the world. Koei Tecmo:
“I believe that the Switch was well-received and became popular because it’s really suited for the modern lifestyle, not only in Japan, but the US and also European countries as well. So we are readily available to make titles available on Switch, and either our own IPs or some other company’s IPs. I feel we’ve been working on making the titles available on Switch much faster than the other publishers. If there is any need or wishes to be played on Switch, then definitely, we will work on that.”
It seems like nintendo is reviving it's some of the titles. and those titles may mean different for each one of us. I don't think they would easily succeed as the competition now is lot stronger.
That's great news.
Good stuff. I remember the Wii-U only getting a few 3d party titles, despite the promises of various publishers – I guess they didn't want to bother since it sold quite poorly. If Nintendo Switch failed as hard as that did, it could have potentially bankrupted Nintendo.
