NINTENDO SWITCH games fans could be seeing some more third-party support from Bandai Namco, who have explained why one of their most recent titles has not been confirmed for the new console.

Soulcalibur 6 is coming to PS4 and Xbox One, but has not been confirmed as featuring on the Nintendo Switch games list.

While a lot of the biggest games of the year have skipped the console, it’s fair to say that interest is growing in launching more titles for it.

A lot of times fans have assumed that these games have passed by the Switch, due to its limitations.

However, Soulcalibur 6 isn’t one of them.

That’s according to Soulcalibur producer Motohiro Okubo, who has confirmed that it wasn’t hardware limitations that has stopped their game being announced for Switch.

In fact, the Switch platform appears to be of interest to the development team.

The real reason why the Switch was snubbed as part of the big Game Awards announcement, is to do with timing.

“Soulcalibur VI development started more than three years ago,” Okubo told Metro.co.uk.

“And nobody knew anything about Switch back then. So, we are not working on Switch, as of now.

“But of course, personally, I’m interested in the platform. If the Unreal Engine can adapt to Switch, then maybe the possibility will be [there].”

From the sounds of it, while a Soulcalibur on Switch isn’t confirmed, it’s definitely under consideration.

And when you look at how Bandai Namco have already been involved on other Switch projects, Pokken Tournament being one of them, there’s room to be hopeful.

Bandai Namco have also been linked to other Nintendo Switch games projects, including a remaster of Dark Souls 1.

While no official news of this has surfaced yet, they have announced a new title for the hybrid machine.
