Confirmed List of Third Party Support for Nintendo Switch
A huge piece of the puzzle when it comes to the overall success of the recently revealed Nintendo Switch will be third party support. The Wii U lost way more ground than it could ever recover when third party publishers all but left the console in the dust. While the first party Nintendo games were usually the cream of the crop that lack of anything ‘not Nintendo’ killed the console in its infancy. Nintendo isn’t about to make the same mistake again and recruited a ton of third party support during the development process for the Nintendo Switch. Undoubtedly there are a ton more to come but here’s the list of confirmed third party publishers on board with the Nintendo Switch:
