The madmen at Nintendo did it- they made a brand new system that is truly a portable-console hybrid. And when they were saying that third parties were intrigued by their new system, they weren’t lying. They seem to have put their money where their mouths are, because for once, it looks like a Nintendo system will have some stellar third party support.
Third party support for the Switch, which is the NX’s final name, includes names such as EA, Activision, Ubisoft, Warner Bros., Take 2, and incredibly enough, other developers and publishers whom you would never associate with Nintendo, such as From Software and Bethesda.
“Nintendo Switch allows gamers the freedom to play however they like,” said Reggie Fils-Aime, President and COO, Nintendo of America. “It gives game developers new abilities to bring their creative visions to life by opening up the concept of gaming without boundaries.”
