This information comes from Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime…
“We want every high-quality game to have an opportunity to be played on Nintendo Switch,” Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America’s president and chief operating officer told IGN in an interview at E3 2017. “Every single one. Fill in the blank of third-party, high-quality game really wanted on Nintendo Switch; the answer is yes.”
“We’ve been very thoughtful in making sure we have a strong cadence of launches that are going to keep our fans engaged, going to drive hardware, and continue to propel us forward. And certainly as we think back to Wii U, that’s one of the things that we didn’t do as effectively.”

Monolith Soft on Xenoblade Chronicles 2 – how it links to the original, Drivers / Blades, Battle Arts
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 14 Comments
This information comes from Monolith Soft studio head Tetsuya Takahashi…
On how Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is related to the original…
“It’s a completely different world, with completely new characters. It’s a different game.”
“The way I see it. I feel as though Xenoblade 1 and 2 are connected and linked in the sense that they’re linear and story-driven games, whereas Xenoblade Chronicles X was more focused on open world and exploration, and maybe an online aspect. I feel like I’d like to continue to create games separating those two aspects out.”
