While the Nintendo Switch 2 is naturally grabbing all the attention as of late, the team behind the Batman: Arkham Trilogy port for the Nintendo Switch has said that the best-selling system still has “a lot of life in it” and it shouldn’t be ignored by developers as it still has a very “loyal audience.” Untold Games brought the well received Batman: Arkham Trilogy, It Takes Two to the console and is presumably planning to bring more games to the platform.
“Switch has a remarkable ecosystem and a genuinely loyal audience, and that combination has a lot of life in it,” Untold Games co-founder and CEO Elisa Di Lorenzo said, “The platform has proven that hardware power isn’t the only thing players care about, and that’s a lesson worth taking seriously”.
“Any platform is challenging if it isn’t considered from the beginning of development,” the CEO said. “The earlier platform-specific constraints are factored into a game’s architecture, the smoother the path to a port. When you’re working with a game that was build for different hardware, you’re often solving problems that were baked in long before you arrive.”
