SEGA explains why they chose Switch for the SEGA AGES line

SEGA has been working on an exclusive line of enhanced classic games for the Switch know as SEGA AGES titles. The Switch is the only place you'll be able to grab these titles for the time being. Wondering why SEGA chose the Switch for all this retro goodness? Sega's Rieko Kodama explained in a Dtoid interview.

"We want to continue providing retro SEGA titles for the latest hardware. We've chosen the Switch, which can be played on a stationary TV set or as a handheld system, because we believe it to be the appropriate console for our retro game archive. It can even be played in a vertical orientation, allowing us to recreate the experience of vertically oriented arcade games such as Gain Ground. I think the different ways players can use the Joy-Con is also an interesting experiment."
