Nintendo Co. has announced a slate of new titles for its new hybrid console Switch, moving to capitalize on early excitement for its newest game system.
A Pokemon role-playing game for the Switch is in development, Kyoto-based Nintendo said Tuesday on a webcast at the start of the industry's annual Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles. The company and Ubisoft Entertainment SA will introduce a new Super Mario game only for Switch on Aug. 29. Other titles include Switch versions of popular games such as "Metroid 4" and "Rocket League." Many of the new products will be multiplayer.
"This changes the game," Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of North America, said in a video at the start of the presentation. "Travel the world, play anywhere with anyone."
