Nintendo Life sat down for an interview with Virtuos Vice President of Games Elijah Freeman. In the interview, the VP talked about many of company’s partners approaching them to create new Switch games. Many of the possible projects could be Switch exclusive 3rd party games as well. Virtuos has ported games to the Switch such as Dark Souls: Remastered and Starlink. They’re one of the busiest port studios alongside Panic Button and their resume will surely grow. Here’s the excerpt from the Nintendo Life interview:
Many of our partners are already approaching us to help them create bespoke Switch titles for some of the most beloved IPs in our industry. I believe that we could and will see unique versions of franchises developed specifically to harness elements of the Switch that make it so special. I would credit this to the unique portability of the console and the quality of gameplay experiences that it offers players, not a result of technical constraints.
The Virtuos VP also stated that the Switch supports many engines; it will continue to gain 3rd party games and exclusives after the launch of the PS5 and Xbox Scarlett. Developers continue to adapt and harness the Switch’s resources. Stay tuned at Final Weapon for more news regarding the Nintendo Switch!
