Developer: Game Freak
Publisher Nintendo

There is no denying that the Pokémon franchise is somewhat of a rarity in the gaming industry. To have a series so well-beloved by new and old fans alike for twenty years, it wouldn’t be too far-fetched to assume that something like Pokémon would have petered out long ago. It’s still going strong even after such a long time has passed. However, along with two decades worth of games comes a desire to innovate and to avoid the underlying possibility of stagnation and repetition. Now, with Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon on the horizon and the promise of a fresh take on its tried-and-true formula, the seventh generation surpasses all expectations and delivers not only one of the finest entries in the franchise to date, but one of the best role playing games of the year.

Another developer has come forward with plans to make games for Switch. QubicGames will initially be bringing two titles to the platform: 2 Fast 4 Gnomz and Audio Hero. Both were confirmed as part of the company’s latest financial report.

2 Fast 4 Gnomz (Geki Yaba Runner) is a name that should sound familiar, as it came to both WiiWare and the 3DS eShop. Audio Hero is a bit more under-the-radar, but we can say that it’s a platformer and runner with simple controls in which the player’s interactions are synchronized with the music. It will initially arrive on various platforms during the second half of 2017.

We should note that QubicGames does not actually appear to have access to development kits for Switch as of yet. But given the studio’s presence on Nintendo platforms over the years, it shouldn’t be too long before that changes.

Following Switch’s announcement video, EA was confirmed as one of many partners on board with Switch. However, no specific titles have been announced thus far. While that may be so, we’ll be seeing at least one of EA’s projects on Nintendo’s new system, and it’ll be a significant one.

At the UBS Global Technology Conference, EA CFO Blake Jorgensen teased:

“In terms of Nintendo, in their announcement they announced that we’ll be supporting with a game or two on that new platform. We haven’t yet announced what game, but you should assume that it’s one of our bigger games we’ve been involved with.”

Jorgensen also spoke about Switch more generally, stating:

“We’re excited for Nintendo, it’s an interesting device, but I can’t yet predict how broad it’s going to be, and will people be interested in a portable device alongside their regular portable device that they have.”
