Ubisoft has stepped forward with a new comment about Switch now that the platform has been properly announced. Unfortunately though, there’s nothing too new.

Just Dance 2017 is still coming to Switch as we heard at this year’s E3. Ubisoft is also making “a number of games for the console”. More information will be shared later.

Ubisoft said:

“With the Nintendo Switch’s unique capacities and design, Nintendo will again redefine the way we play games. The Switch is accessible at its core and also seizes on the growing trend of sharing more experiences and playing anywhere at anytime. Ubisoft and Nintendo enjoy a long-standing partnership and we are currently developing a number of games for the console, including Just Dance 2017. We look forward to sharing more at a later date.”

With the Switch having been announced earlier today, it might be easy for some to forget about Nintendo’s two current gaming platforms: Wii U and 3DS. With Switch, Nintendo told Polygon that it’s “a home gaming system first and foremost.” They also shared a few words about Wii U and 3DS.

With 3DS, Nintendo noted that “there’s still a huge hunger for new games”, and “many more games” are on the way. As for Wii U, it’ll become “harder to find” at retail.

The full statement reads:

“Nintendo Switch is a home gaming system first and foremost. We have made no announcement regarding the future of Nintendo 3DS. Obviously with sales of almost 60 million 3DS portables worldwide, there’s still a huge hunger for new games, such as Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon. There are many more games in the pipeline.

We have nothing to announce about the production status of Wii U. We announced in April 2016 that as we prepare for the launch of Nintendo Switch in March of 2017, Nintendo will ship 800,000 Wii U hardware units to the global market for this fiscal year. As a result, the inventory of Wii U hardware at retail will become harder to find. We encourage anyone who wants Wii U to communicate with their preferred retail outlet to monitor availability.”
