With this new subsidiary, there'll probably be ports in-house now, and considering these guys made some black magic with Hogwarts Legacy on Switch 1, you can imagine what they can achieve with the help of Nintendo's first-party studios for Switch 2—exciting times coming ahead. |
And this time I think the likely promises Nintendo will make as Switch 2 comes out will remain.
Nintendo promised robust third-party support on Wii U and that crashed and burned within about a year. Most of that was Wii U's architecture, sluggish sales after launch, and GamePad.
This acquisition from Nintendo seems like a great idea, with more third-party games on the way for Switch 2.
