Japanese developer M2, known for creating popular games like Castlevania Advance Collection and Legend of Mana, is eager to expand its presence on the Nintendo Switch. In a recent interview with Touch Arcade, M2’s CEO Naoki Horii expressed the studio’s enthusiasm for bringing more games to the Switch, stating that they are “always looking for that opportunity.”
While M2 has a strong focus on existing franchises, their work on shoot ’em up games has been particularly well-received. One of their titles, Dodonpachi DaiOuJou Blissful Death Re:Incarnation, even received a rare 10/10 rating. However, some of their games, like this one, are currently only available in Japan, making it a bit challenging for international players to access them.
Despite their desire to release more games on the Switch, Horii mentioned that there are limitations to what they can do, hinting that not all titles may make it to the platform. However, he assured fans that they are constantly on the lookout for opportunities to bring their games to a wider audience.
Fans of M2’s work, particularly their shoot ’em up games, may have to wait for the studio to prioritize which titles to bring to the Switch next. While games like Battle Garegga, Ketsui, and Dangun Feveron are on the wishlist for many players, Horii’s comments suggest that it all depends on the available opportunities.
For those who are eager to experience M2’s games on the Switch, importing physical copies or setting up a Japanese Nintendo account may be the best options for now. Despite the challenges, the dedication of M2’s fanbase and their passion for the studio’s creations continue to drive interest in their future releases.
As fans eagerly await updates on M2’s plans for the Nintendo Switch, it’s clear that the studio’s commitment to delivering high-quality gaming experiences remains unwavering. With their track record of creating exceptional games, it’s only a matter of time before more M2 titles find their way to the Switch, delighting players and expanding the platform’s diverse game library.
