Koei Tecmo Pledges Support To Switch, Might Make Use Of IP From Other Companies

During an interview with GameSpot, Koei Tecmo President Hisashi Koinuma briefly commented on the Nintendo Switch’s success and Koei Tecmo’s plans for the console.

Koinuma believes the Switch was well received because it’s suited for modern lifestyle. Moving forward, Koei Tecmo plans to make more titles for Nintendo Switch, through the use of their IP (intellectual property) or even IP that belongs to other companies.

I believe that the Switch was well-received and became popular because it’s really suited for the modern lifestyle, not only in Japan, but the US and also European countries as well. So we are readily available to make titles available on Switch, and either our own IPs or some other company’s IPs. I feel we’ve been working on making the titles available on Switch much faster than the other publishers. If there is any need or wishes to be played on Switch, then definitely, we will work on that.
