Nintendo’s development team behind 3DS hits The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and Tri Force Heroes could bring a 2D Zelda title to Switch, The Legend of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma has told Game Informer.
“The 3DS team and the Wii U team have different approaches to game development, so I don’t necessarily want to combine them and have them think together, but rather have each think about what they can bring to Nintendo Switch from their own perspective,” explained Aonuma.
Asked if that meant the 3DS team is working on a new Switch title, Aonuma said: “Yes, there is definitely a possibility.”
“There are definitely good things about the 2D world and the playstyles of the 2D world,” Aonuma explained. “There are a lot of fans who enjoy that style. This Nintendo Switch style, which is the evolved style of gameplay is not necessarily… I want you to think of it more as an evolved style of 2D style. For the 3DS team, I am trying to make them think in a more evolved 2D-style approach.”
It will be interesting to see what Nintendo’s development teams can produce for the Switch.
Nintendo Switch launches March 3.
