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.
