Here’s an interesting exchange with one fan on Twitter:
Xbox One yes, switch no!

Producer says the team wants to localize Shinobi Refle: Senran Kagura
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 8 Comments
This information comes from Senran Kagura producer Kenichiro Takaki…
“The Switch game was included in the Nintendo Direct in Japan. Since then, we haven’t really said much about it, but it’s going to be a different flavor of a Senran Kagura title. It’s going to use HD Rumble to its full extent and the idea is that it’s going to be an interesting game to allow the player to feel the girl inside the game.
We definitely want to localize it, but we have to see what comes of it and if it’s possible.”
