Nintendo not against more top-down and 2D-style first party games for Switch

With the Switch, Nintendo has combined their console and portable divisions. Does this mean we're not going to see anymore titles from Nintendo that bring classic gameplay experiences, like a top-down Zelda or a side-scrolling Mario? Verge asked Nintendo's Yoshiaki Koizumi just that.

V: Some people might prefer top-down Zelda games, or for example you also have games like Metroid: Samus Returns for 3DS coming soon. If you were to make future games in those franchises for the Switch, would they be 3D by necessity or would Nintendo still consider a 2D perspective for these types of games?

YK: I wouldn’t necessarily consider a top-down Zelda or a side-scrolling Metroid games that have to be on a handheld, and there are of course people who like those kinds of games. And I think for Nintendo Switch I could definitely imagine those types of games appearing for it. At E3 this year a new side-scrolling Yoshi title was announced, and I imagine that going forward those types of games will be able to be played at home or on the go.
