Switch 2 has its own audience. It’s very big, Switch 1 has sold many, many, many millions of units worldwide, and this allows developers like us to to tap into that audience, and to pretty much reach an entirely new player base."For more on Nintendo Switch 2, be sure to check out our hands-on impressions, as well as our most-wanted Switch 2 ports.Article continues belowFor the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.‌‌‌
