Amazon Games planning Switch 2 support
Posted on 2 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
When Nintendo is ready to come out with Switch 2, it looks like Amazon Games will eventually be there with games. Christoph Hartmann, the company’s vice president, recently pledged support and shared some other interesting thoughts about the system.
Hartmann made it clear in an interview with IGN that Amazon Games intends to make titles for Switch 2. However, he believes it’d be best for Nintendo to avoid rushing the hardware, even if that means waiting another year. Hartmann indicated that most third-parties should be fine waiting given how teams can rely on other gaming systems for the time being.
Hartmann’s full words about Amazon Games and Switch 2:

Rumor: Developers told Switch 2 not coming until April 2025 at the earliest
Posted on 3 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch 2 | 0 comments
August 13: One of the big questions surrounding Nintendo’s next console – which many have dubbed Switch 2 – is when it’ll be launching. Nintendo has said very little, only confirming that an announcement will be made by the end of the fiscal year. That means we’ll be hearing about the console by the end of March 2025 at the latest.
Chris Dring, who leads things over at GamesIndustry, may have some insight. Dring shared what he’s heard after speaking with multiple developers, who all believe it won’t be out this fiscal year. He went on to say that these teams were actually informed not to count on it arriving during the current fiscal year – meaning not before April 2025. Some developers hope it could be ready by April or May, but that’s obviously far from confirmed.

No More Heroes creator Suda51 has commented on Switch 2, and indicated that Grasshopper Manufacture will be supporting the system.
The studio was on board with the current Switch from its earliest days. You may remember that Suda51 appeared on stage during the reveal of the system way back at the start of 2017, and pledged that Travis Touchdown would be making an appearance. That led to Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes, and eventually, No More Heroes 3.
