Nintendo Switch 2018: Rumoured games coming to the console
Nintendo Switch had a great first year, full of exclusives and third party games. Here's a few more confirmed or rumoured to be coming to the console in 2018 and beyond.
This comes after news that more triple-A PS4 and Xbox One titles could be coming to the Nintendo Switch.
Panic Button, a studio that has worked on Switch ports of Doom, Rocket League, and the upcoming Wolfenstein II, has stated that it's going to remain 'pretty busy' and that it's still getting many requests from developers about projects they want to collaborate on.
"You know that meme? With the dog? Drinking from a sprinkler? That’s me right now," says Panic Button's director of development, Adam Creighton in an interview with Gamasutra.
"And we might have some other titles for that platform, and maybe some other games for other platforms, in the works." he teases.
"In terms of volume, I’m in this amazing place where as a studio we get to choose how we want to grow, and with whom, and with what projects.
"My biggest challenge lately is not which projects do we pick to retarget to other platforms, but managing the other parts of our portfolio, picking the different projects that are exciting to different people in the studio, and being responsible about what I want to work on, versus what is best for the studio."

Gamasutra's article goes on to feature BlitWorks – the studio behind the de Blob and Owlboy for ports for Switch.
Blitworks also seems to be inundated with requests for new games coming to the platform – which is good news if you're keen to see more popular games on Nintendo's platform.
"We knew it was going to be big when people started requesting ports for the Switch way back before last summer," says Tony Cabello, CEO of BlitWorks. "Since then, it’s been crazy."
“We’ve recently experienced a big increase in the amount of work,” Cabello continues. “Even though we’re always very busy, we’re now working on more projects at the same time, especially indie games which are our speciality.
"This is mainly because nowadays, indie studios see that publishing their games on consoles is a possibility, that was not so easy to do in the past because the access to the market was more restrictive. So we now have more developers reaching out to us to get there.”
The full interview – available here – is well worth a read if you're interested in the process of porting titles to Switch, and how that impacts the industry.
