With Nintendo finally lifting the curtains off of its upcoming video game console, the Switch, the ball is also now rolling with the other half of the equation, the game development. Tantalus and Capcom studios have shared their views concerning the revolutionary console.

One of the studios that pledge its support for the Nintendo Switch is Tantalus Media. The two companies have collaborated earlier for the remastered version of "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD." Now, Tom Crago, the studio's CEO, confirmed that the company is also working on future releases for the new console, Maxi-Geek reports.

Crago said, "I can confirm that we're working on Switch, and have been for some time. Our titles haven't been announced as yet, but keep an eye out for more news soon."

He also hinted that more remasters could be coming and encouraged game fans to drop them a line so they would know which game to work on. Crago added, "We've always worked on Nintendo platforms and now of course after Twilight Princess HD our relationship with Nintendo is stronger than ever. I expect fans will look back through Nintendo's catalogue and think about which titles they'd like us to bring to Switch. Everyone should feel free to make suggestions on our FaceBook page."

Meanwhile, Capcom, another game developer studio that has partnered with the Nintendo in the past, stated that they are already moving forward with regards to "internal planning and analysis" for the upcoming console. The company also stated that cross platform titles are being considered, but it is still too early to comment about it, according to Siliconera.

Capcom added in its statement that they are currently focused on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One since they are already familiar with the consoles' capability and what the gamers want. While the Nintendo Switch does not offer any such information at the moment.

The Nintendo Switch Is expected to be made available in March 2017. The upcoming console's price and final release date are expected to be announced in January.
