Just ahead of E3 2019, several Bandai Namco announcements have leaked. One of these is related to Switch.
Bandai Namco is bringing the Level-5 RPG Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch to new platforms, including Switch. A remaster is in the works that will provide a higher resolution and enhanced performance on other platforms, but the Switch version appears to be a standard release.
