We've already heard that Square-Enix has some big interest in supporting the Switch. Those tidbits came from some translations from various sources, but now we have the official translation from Square-Enix themselves. You can see the company's full Switch statements below.
Q: Where do you intend to prioritize allocation of your development resources going forward?

A: Nintendo Switch is seeing rapid uptake, and we welcome the arrival of such a platform. We intend to be proactive in our development efforts given that it’s a platform that is well suited to the mid-sized titles at which we excel.
