Now this is the kind of news you want to hear! Game Informer talked to Square-Enix's Tomoya Asano about the upcoming Octopath Traveler, which lead into an interesting discussion about Switch overall. Turns out the team working on Octopath Traveler has become its own division, and they're working on multiple original Switch titles.

"Square Enix has decided that it wants to focus on original titles for the Switch. If Octopath Traveler does well and this is something that appeals to fans, we want to focus on Switch. Please pick up the Switch if you want to play games like Octopath Traveler."

Does this mean those other titles all depend on whether Octopath Traveler sells well or not? Asano clarified his statement with the following.

"There are several other titles that we're currently working on for Switch. If you could just wait a bit longer, we'll work with Nintendo and announce them in the future."

Thanks to Sligeach_eire for the heads up!
