While we still don’t know that much about the Nintendo Switch, Ubisoft is one company that is quite impressed with what they’ve seen. Ubisoft in fact has to get in line with other firms like Microsoft who have said Nintendo has a “bold vision” with this console.

During a recent earnings call, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot talked about his feelings regarding the Switch and he clearly thinks they can work with the new console. “We think the platform is great. For the first time ever, players will continue their home console experience on the go while traveling or commuting. That is a true innovation.”

He added he thinks Nintendo has done a very good job of fighting off the surge in mobile gaming with the Nintendo 3DS and the Switch should be yet another way to stay ahead of that game.

“Second, most importantly, despite the huge competition from mobile gaming, Nintendo managed to sell more than 55 million 3DS since launch. The Switch will benefit from this strong demand for Nintendo games on a dedicated handheld platform,” he stated.

Eventually we’ll get to see for ourselves as the Switch is supposed to come out in March of 2017.
