Famitsu recently interviewed Nippon Ichi Software CEO Sohei Shinkawa, and when the subject of the Switch came up, a lot was mentioned. One major comment Shinkawa made was that Switch and PS4 multiplatform development will be “very much a possibility” from here on.
“As you’ve said, we are a software company that has grown together with PlayStation, and are well aware that a lot of our fans are on PlayStation platforms. So it is not as if we will stop developing games for PlayStation. Overseas, PlayStation 4 sales are incredibly strong and we will continue making games for the PlayStation 4 platform.
However, in Japan we can’t just ignore the move to portable gaming consoles. Our games are well suited for portable gaming, so when you think about it, it is important for PS4 and Nintendo Switch to balance each other out and do well. With that in mind, from here on multiplatform development for PS4 and Nintendo Switch is very much a possibility.”
It seems Disgaea 5 wont be their only Switch game, and the system will receive more support from the publisher. Here is hoping they bring several RPGs to the system.
