Anticipation for Nintendo’s successor to the Switch (which we’re affectionately calling ‘Switch 2’ until further notice) is reaching near-impossible levels ahead of its expected reveal before the end of the current fiscal year.
Excitement is in the air, and one person feeling the hype is none other than Devolver Digital’s COO, Graeme Struthers. In conversation with Gamereactor (Thanks, Nintendo Everything) about the upcoming release for Neva, Struthers praised the Nintendo Switch for its accessibility with indie titles.
“A lot of people who work at Devolver and a lot of developers at Devolver and Nintendo fans, so working with Nintendo is something we’ve always wanted to do. And the Switch device, it did something that was maybe against the trend; it wasn’t high definition, it was it’s a simple proposition, and that made it more indie-friendly.
“It’s more of a challenge for ‘AAA’ to try to work in that place, so I think we’ve benefited from this as well. So we’ve been great, I think we’ve released something like 50 different games on Switch now.”
Struthers then expressed his excitement for Nintendo’s upcoming ‘Switch 2’ and said he hopes to see Devolver games on the system, including Neva:
“We’re excited about whatever Nintendo wants to do next, and we have to wait, like everyone else, to see what it is. But yeah, we’re excited. I’m pretty sure you’ll see some of our games, maybe even this one would like to imagine that there will be a place for him on that platform, but we will have to see.”
We hope to be put out of our misery soon! We are pleased that Devolver Digital continues to support new Nintendo platforms in the future, so new hardware will allow for easy development.
