Along with a three-minute teaser trailer officially christening the codenamed "NX" as Nintendo Switch, Nintendo issued a press release listing third-party developers and publishers currently building games for its console/hybrid platform.

The follow list follows. Noteworthy names include Capcom, Activision, Square Enix, 2K, Bethesda, and Take-Two.

Today's teaser trailer showed Skyrim Remastered running on Switch, as well as a version of NBA 2K17. Those titles alone indicate that Twitch will receive stronger support from third-party partners than the Wii U, which hosted a solid lineup of first-party titles but a lackluster roster from companies like Activision and Capcom.

Nintendo Switch is a console/handheld hybrid that runs on a tailor-made NVIDIA Tegra processor and will launch next March. For more info, check out Shacknews' comprehensive summary of today's unveiling.
