We've already heard that Square-Enix has some big interest in supporting the Switch. Those tidbits came from some translations from various sources, but now we have the official translation from Square-Enix themselves. You can see the company's full Switch statements below.

Q: Where do you intend to prioritize allocation of your development resources going forward?

A: We base our development resource allocations on the unique attributes of each platform. In particular, Nintendo Switch makes it easier for us to leverage our back catalog of assets and expertise, so we want to be proactive in creating new IP and rebooting past titles for that platform.

Q: What do you think of Nintendo Switch, and how are you approaching development efforts for it?

A: Nintendo Switch is seeing rapid uptake, and we welcome the arrival of such a platform. We intend to be proactive in our development efforts given that it’s a platform that is well suited to the mid-sized titles at which we excel.

I would not buy it but FF VII for the Switch would be great for historical reasons.

First choice, a true FF tactics sequel.

Second choice, Einhander.

I loved TWEWY so, so much. But I have no idea how they could possibly make a worthwhile sequel. So even though I really loved TWEWY, I'm going with a Front Mission as SRPG sequel. SE destroyed Front Mission when they tried to make it Armored Core, but as SRPGs they were awesome and I would love them to make a sequel.

I don't really like their games, but I enjoyed FF:CC on the GameCube a lot. Another similar one would be awesome, but I might be the only one in the world who wants that.

Action game with RPG elements with a super cozy atmosphere, really good graphics and artstyle, really fun 4-player co op (combining spells with your friends to cast a huge spell of awesomeness was very satisfying), awesome soundtrack.. I really want more of this.

They should make a new Actraiser in the same vein as the original. Reprise the roll of the master and put the two proper game designs back in the game... Top down, building with story elements and the 2d action sequences....

I'd by it so fast your face would melt.

I'd rather them develop new I.Ps.

The Project Octopath Demo was great and one of my "must haves" for next year.

If they were to revive the Chrono Trigger series and put it on Switch? And it was good? Dang, that would be one of the most popular 3rd party games of this generation no doubt. It might even beat out some of the 1st party games depending on sales.

FF Tactics and Ogre Tactics would make me happy if they were handled correctly.

None. I'd rather not see more crap games ruining the reputation of series' that were previously good.

Warning, typical skeptical mind coming:

Well, Switch is already getting a port of Fear Effect, so I expect nothing more than a Smash 5 announcement and Lighting or Noctis as a guest star.

That, said, tough call what reboot I would see as I never played much Square IP's outside of Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Sleeping Dogs, and Tomb Raider

FFT immediately jumps to mind as a good fit on Switch since it's more handheld-oriented in the first instance.

God only knows for what reason the Chrono series went dormant, so giving it a jumpstart would also be exciting (at least for as long as it takes people to remember it's S-E in charge).

Did you know that Sakaguichi loved Fire Emblem on the Famicom? It was the inspiration for Square to make Final Fantasy Tactics! Link here

Happy to know that people still dream of a new Einhander.
