One game that resonated with gamers last year was NieR Automata by Platinum Games and Square Enix on the PS4. NieR Automata was announced for the Xbox One at this month’s E3 2018.
However, a Nintendo Switch version of NieR Automata wasn’t mentioned.
Possibly coming to Nintendo Switch
Speaking during the Square Enix Presents stream, Nier Automata director Yoko Taro (YT), producer Yosuke Saito (YS), and designer Takahisa Taura (TT), talked about the possibility of a Nintendo Switch port.
- YT: Well, um, when are we getting the Switch version Saito-san?
- YS: Well, it’s not all on me to decide because PlatinumGames do take painstaking time to develop for each console.
- TT: Well, I don’t think it’s a good idea to ask me about something as big as this.
- YT: I want a Switch version, Taura-san! Give it to me!
- TT: Well, I’d like to have one too if it’s about what we want.
- YS: Well, Taura-kun’s Twitter account is shown on the screen here and if everyone asks him for it, then there may be a possibility that it would become a reality. But even if it does, it might be about two years from now again. See we keep our jobs alive by releasing a little by little.
- TT: Yes, we try to stretch it out as much as possible.
- YT: And this Twitter account is for asking for new girlfriends too right?
- TT: Well, yes, but please contact Saito-san about Switch and not me.
Hmm lets just hope this makes it to the Nintendo Switch eventually then shall we. Would you love a NieR Automata port for the Nintendo Switch?
