One of the most anticipated games for March is definitely Nier: Automata, the new and interesting action game developed by Platinum Games that will land on PC and PS4. But there's also good news for Nintendo Switch's future owners, as in a recent Q&A hosted on Facebook by Square Enix (via NintendoLife), the game's lead designer Takihisa Taura hasn't ruled out the possibility that the game will also arrive on Switch, if Square Enix was interested in it:

"From our perspective in Platinum Games, if Square Enix pays us to do it, we'll make you a version for the Switch, we'll make you a version for the Super Nintendo if you want - anything you ask for," Taura responded.

Since Platinum Games has always had good relations with Nintendo (for example Bayonetta 2 and The Wonderful 101 were developed exclusively for the Wii U) and even if Taura's words are far from a confirmation, we can't exclude entirely a port of the game on Nintendo's new hybrid platform.

Nier: Automata will be available on March 7 on PC and PS4. Do you like the attitude that Taura has shown?
