Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick spoke during a technology event earlier today. One topic discussed was none other than Switch.
Zelnick expressed interest in Switch, stating that Take-Two believes in the system. He also acknowledged the “very successful launch.” As far as support goes, Take-Two won’t be putting everything on Switch, but will bring out select tieles.
Zelnick’s full words:
“We believe in it. We see it the way [Nintendo does]; it’s been a very successful launch. It remains to be seen how it does, but we’re excited about it. Assuming there is an installed base, we’ll be there. Not with all of our titles, but selectively.”

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 12 Comments
Back in 2015, the developer of Invisible showed interest in bringing the game to Switch when the system was known as NX. Then earlier this year, we heard something more concrete as the possibility was actively being looked into.
All turned out well in the end, as Indivisible is now confirmed for Switch. The platformer-RPG will be out on the console next year along side other versions. It will be sold both physically and digitally.
We’ve included a full overview and trailer for Indivisible below.
“Indivisible is a new RPG/platformer IP, starring Ajna (AHZH-na), a girl who sets out on a globe-spanning journey to discover the truth behind her mysterious powers. On her quest she’ll be joined by a variety of unique heroes and gain new abilities to traverse the environments and defeat the enemies they’ll encounter along the way.
Indivisible is inspired by classic platformers and RPGs, but with the unique characters and gameplay depth Lab Zero is known for.
In addition to a fresh spin on RPG gameplay, Indivisible features a deep storyline inspired by southeast Asian and other world mythologies, Lab Zero’s trademark feature-quality 2D hand-drawn animation, a lush soundtrack from legendary Secret of Mana composer Hiroki Kikuta, and an opening animation by popular anime studio TRIGGER.”

Today, Nintendo revealed via the official Splatoon Twitter account that a Splatoon-themed headset for the Switch will be released in Japan. Manufactured by video game accessory giant HORI, the headset will allow you to more easily use voice chat in Splatoon 2 (and other supported Switch games) via Nintendo’s smart phone app.
The headset comes with an adapter which you have to connect to both your smartphone and your Switch, which results in better quality audio input and output compared to a setup where you’re just using your smartphone and no headset. The headset will be released on July 21st for a price of 3480 Yen.
