Nintendo talks recent third-party Switch releases
This information comes from Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa…
So far, we have only been discussing first-party Nintendo Switch software, but our solid software lineup is not limited to just those. Other software publishers have also continued to release a wide variety of new titles, and I’d like to introduce a few of these.
These are just some of the titles that have been released by other software publishers for Nintendo Switch. DAEMON X MACHINA, released by Marvelous Entertainment in September, is an all-new mech action game that also supports multiplayer play made possible by Nintendo Switch, and features exhilarating mech action designed to suit different styles of play.
September was also when Square Enix released Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age – Definitive Edition. Players can enjoy this game in both 2D and 3D modes, and it also features new scenarios and elements not found in the original versions. Disney Tsum Tsum Festival, released by Bandai Namco Entertainment in October, is a fun and boisterous party game featuring Disney character Tsum Tsum. And today, Sega released Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. In addition to popular Olympic events, this title also features the game’s original dream events as well as nostalgic pixel-art 2D events.
Fishing Spirits Nintendo Switch Version, released by Bandai Namco Entertainment in July, lets consumers play on Nintendo Switch the medal-based fishing simulation arcade game that is especially popular among kids. In this title, the Joy-Con controllers serve as the fishing rod and reel, and they vibrate when a fish takes the bait, creating the kind of realistic experience only available on Nintendo Switch. The title also has a tournament mode that makes use of Joy-Con sharing for fun competitive play, which is another kind of play unique to Nintendo Switch. This title is only sold in Japan, but we have heard that it continues to exceed initial expectations and is on the way to becoming a hit.
