Take-Two Interactive won’t have any titles ready for the NX launch. Is this a sign of things to come in terms of future third-party support for Nintendo NX?

When the Nintendo NX launches in March 2017, the platform will have The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild serving as its must-own piece of software, and now it seems as though one major third-party publisher will not be attending the NX launch party. Take-Two Interactive, parent company of 2K and Rockstar Games, announced during a Q1 earnings call on Aug. 4 that the company will see no impact from the Nintendo NX during the current fiscal year. For reference, Take-Two’s current fiscal year will end on March 31, 2017.

What does this mean? Well, it means that Take-Two will have no games available for Nintendo NX during its March launch. Take-Two was an early supporter of the Nintendo Wii U, having had NBA 2K13 and Transformers Prime ready for the Wii U’s Nov. 2012 launch in North America. Things quickly soured, however, as the company became hesitant to release software on the Wii U platform and support dried up.

So it begins ^^

What a shame. I really wanted late ports of Mafia 3 and NBA at the NX launch.

Was there ever any doubt T2 doesn't care about the NX? They are ignoring Nintendo since before the Wii, even the million seller GTA Chinatown Wars was considered a flop by them.

No Bioshock, Mafia, Grand theft auto and so on, if its true thats bad news, they make some real system sellers.

Say NX won't impact results ending march 2017, don't sinified they don’t support NX... Just in the first month, NX don't make money enable for take 2 to be considered...

It would likely come out mid March, or even the end of March. So this is really jumping the gun. Especially if it launches on the 31st. Which is unlikely since Nintendo Consoles normally launch on Sunday. Regardless of when it comes out on March. If they have a launch title. It would need to be a system seller to make a huge impact.

Power is a big issue. And there is pricing. Most of the handheld games are $40 range. Why would anyone wants to get a loss in it? Plus historically Nintendo consoles don't sell third party games well.

Just bring Pokemon to the table

While I don't think that Take-Two is going to support the NX, this news has nothing to do with it. If their fiscal year ends in the launch month of that thing there is no way that their results would be affected by the NX in a meaningful way.
