Nintendúo has published an interview with Naoki Hamaguchi, in which he confirmed strong player interest and pre-order performance for Rebirth on Switch 2.
“I feel that the release of Rebirth is of great importance in allowing Switch 2 players to catch up with the latest installment in the series.”
“Since we’ve been able to release Remake and Rebirth on Switch 2 at a good pace, interest has been high and pre-orders are performing extremely well.”
“Above all, I'm genuinely happy that we've been able to bring this series to Nintendo fans in the way it deserves.”
Hamaguchi also talked about the plans for the third game. He said they’re seriously thinking about the best release schedule and format for the franchise and its players, not just which platform gets it first.
“That said, we are seriously considering what kind of release schedule and format would be best for the franchise and our players when launching the third installment.”
“It’s not simply a matter of deciding ‘what comes first or second’; we want to make this decision from the perspective of what is best for the franchise as a whole.”
“Whatever the conclusion, our goal is to create a release format that new fans of the Remake series feel was the best possible choice. That commitment will not change.”
