Following in the trend set by Bethesda,  several major game publishers and developers have commented on the Nintendo Switch, but refrained from revealing specific details about any projects.

IGN has organized the comments about the Nintendo Switch made by the many different publishers and developers into an article on their site, and have rounded up some noteworthy comments.
