Virtuos is an expert at Switch porting and development throughout the console’s life so far. Various games have been ported by the company like Dark Souls Remastered, The Outer Worlds and much more. The company looks forward to summer this year as the Switch already surpassed the major milestone of outselling the 3DS. That’s nearly 80 million consoles in total. Here’s what Virtuos Managing Director Christophe Gandon had to say:
“2021 has kicked off with the continued rise of the Nintendo Switch, as it now overtakes 3DS lifetime sales. There are many reasons for its success, including fantastic first party games and a clever design that finally crosses the handheld / console divide. However what makes the Switch really stand out is its continued strong third party support. Investing in the Switch ecosystem no longer means missing out on some of the biggest IPs in the world, with franchises like Bioshock and XCOM sitting in the same content library as Mario and Zelda. This can be credited to Nintendo’s new approach to working with third parties, and their desire to make the Switch a welcoming home to developers of all shapes and sizes. We’ve been able to make good use of Nintendo’s toolkits to make games look and run great on their hardware, and are excited about new projects on the horizon for this summer and beyond. There’s plenty more to come from the Switch family.”
Exciting new projects are coming to Switch soon and we can’t wait to see what Virtuos brings to the table. In the meantime, stay tuned at Final Weapon for the latest gaming news and updates! Become an official Final Weapon Patreon member here to support our staff and get upcoming benefits!
