Square Enix Promises To Fully Support The Nintendo Switch

If you’re hoping to see more Square Enix titles arrive for the Nintendo Switch, it seems that this is something we can look forward to in the future. This is because in an interview with Nikkei (via Press A To Join), the company has stated that they plan to fully support the Nintendo Switch through both original titles as well as ports.

According to Square-Enix COO Yosuke Matsuda, “In addition to developing new titles, we also want to port what we can do with existing game titles more and more. Nintendo proposes various kinds of fun. There may be other companies offering amazing ways of playing with ‘Switching’ characteristics of ‘Switch’. However, since we have our way of doing things, we will make games that we are good at leveraging the functions of Switch.”

So far the company has already released a port of the JRPG I Am Setsuna for the Switch, and a new franchise dubbed Octopath Traveller is in the works. These are just some of the titles the company has planned, although safe to say that many gamers are probably looking forward to and hoping that we will eventually get some Final Fantasy titles for the platform.

There is some hope on that front because back in February, Final Fantasy’s XV director expressed his interest in the Switch and stated that the staff are “really interested” in the Switch, although the only dampener in that statement is that nothing is being worked on at the moment with regards to Final Fantasy coming onto the Switch (for now).
