GN Version 5.0

Could we see NieR: Automata come to the Switch? I know I'd love to see that happen. The more places that game goes, the better! Could it actually happen though? Here's NieR: Automata director Yoko Taro, producer Yosuke Saito, and designer Takahisa Taura discussing the idea.

Yoko Taro: Well, um, when are we getting the Switch version, Saito-san?

Yosuke Saito: Well it’s not all on me to decide because PlatinumGames do take painstaking time to develop for each console.

Takahisa Taura: Well, I don’t think it’s a good idea to ask me about something as big as this.

Yoko Taro: I want a Switch version, Taura-san! give it to me!

Takahisa Taura: Well, I’d like to have one too if it’s about what we want.

Yosuke Saito: Well, Taura-kun’s Twitter account is shown on the screen here and if everyone asks him for it, then there may be a possibility that it would become a reality. But even if it does, it might be about two years from now again. See we keep our jobs alive by releasing a little by little.

Takahisa Taura: Yes, we try to stretch it out as much as possible...please contact Saito-san about Switch and not me.
