Japanese studios can support the Switch while still selling outside Japan. The West loves the Switch as well and the Nintendo crowd tend to like Japanese fare more so than say, the Xbox base.

Rise has done extremely well not just in Japan but worldwide, while success has also been found by the likes of Octopath Traveler and Sakuna.

Very true. Octopath Traveler was the best selling game in the USA the month it came out. There’s definitely a market for “smaller” Japanese games in the west, specially in places like the USA, Mexico and Brazil.  

I'd say there is a market for Japanese games big and small on Switch, as we have seen the likes of Octopath joined by MH Rise which is a major production.

If the rumored new RE game for Switch is real that will almost certainly sell well too, both in Japan and the West.

The Switch has built a base that is not just large but diverse as well, allowing many different kinds of games to thrive.
