Square Enix’s Hajime Tabata stirred up quite a storm this week. When he appeared on a Twitch stream to promote Final Fantasy XV, he strong hinted that the game will be ending up on Switch in some form.
To recap, Tabata teased:
You asked the question, what other things do we have planned in the future? We can’t give you any complete, solid details right at the moment but for our policy writers we very much do want to move out and do as much as we can with the game, with the franchise. There’s another certain console out there people may be thinking of; sounds little bit like you guys, your name, “Twitch”… I think we’ll just leave it there.
Everyone on Final Fantasy XV, they love this specific console that sounds a lot like “Twitch” – you may want to think something about that in the future.
Nintendo just added in several sessions of upcoming maintenance. Three periods in total are planned, affecting Wii U and 3DS games, all of the eShops, and Splatoon 2. Most of the maintenance will start towards the end of this weekend and into the middle of next week.
Here’s the full schedule:
Morphite is seeing a bit of a delay. On Twitter, Blowfish Studios announced that the game has been rescheduled for September 21. This is to ensure “a good experience on launch”.
