Famitsu was able to interview PlatinumGames’ Atsushi Inaba at BitSummit last week. Naturally, Switch came up during the discussion.
Inaba praised Switch’s easy-to-play-anywhere aspect. Also, he thinks you can play Switch game both casually or seriously and the platform accepts heavy AAA titles or even very casual games made of just small ideas. Therefore Switch fits well with indie scene and also with the coming video game scene.
Inaba also believes that t synergy between PlatinumGames and Switch is good. He was able to reconfirm a project for Switch developed by PlatinumGames, which he thinks will be “interesting” or “fun”.

Nintendo and Intelligent Systems have interest in making a new Advance Wars
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 26 Comments
It’s been years since the last entry in the Advance Wars series. That doesn’t mean Nintendo and Intelligent Systems lack interest in the franchise, however.
Eurogamer spoke with Nintendo’s Hitoshi Yamagami and Intelligent Systems’ Masahiro Higuchi about the possibility of a new Advance Wars. When asked about a new game in the franchise, the two said:
“Personally, I’d love to do Advance Wars, but since it’s harder to create relationships between its characters compared to Fire Emblem, I don’t have a clear idea of what kind of setting it could have.” – Yamagami
“The Advance Wars series is one that I personally have a lot of interest in. I hear some of the staff here saying that they want to make one too, so if we have a chance it’s something I’d like to do!” – Higuchi
