That’s right, the company is aiming to boost games and/or bring new titles for the Switch in the year starting next April. As of now, the company is working on “big Switch-exclusives” that will ship worldwide sometime from spring to summer 2018.
Personally, I’m not sure what these new games will be. We might see some old titles revamped with a new or continuing story or we could see new IPs altogether.
Moreover, what is known is that Bandai Namco still plans on bringing titles to PC, PS4, and Xbox One. In other words, with these extra resources to develop games for Switch, the usual mix of other platforms seeing Bandai Namco games will still be a thing.
Lastly, this information pertaining to Bandai Namco making more games, which includes the Nintendo Switch, has a lot of people curious what’s to come. With that said, what would you like to see Bandai Namco bring in the near future? Would you like to see the company focus on home consoles more? Would you like to see more attention to PC games? Or would you like the company to focus more on “big” Switch titles?
