Nintendo Ups The Switch's Games & Devs Count
At a fiscal presentation/corporate briefing, Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima declared that the stated number of companies and games with products in development for the Switch is being increased from over 50 companies and 80+ games to over 70 companies and 100+ games.
"After the presentation on January 13," said Kimishima, "we have continued to receive requests from more and more software publishers who want to develop games for the system. At the presentation, we announced that there were over 80 titles in development from more than 50 software publishers, but that number has now climbed to over 100 titles from more than 70 publishers. Please look forward to more announcements about the software lineup in the future."
The console comes out on March 3 for $299.

Our Take
Even if some of these devs and games end up being niche, the fact that the Switch is not region locked means gamers of all stripes should have more to choose from.
