Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for their handwritten past and Buddha's arrogant clues! CTOnews.com news on October 3, recent news about Nintendo's next-generation Switch console continues to emerge, with a large number of revelations pointing to the release in the first half of next year.

Nintendo president Toshitaro Furukawa said in an interview with Nippon Keizai Shimbun: there is no comment on the details of the follow-up models, but they are still carrying out hardware research and development and will continue to focus on the Nintendo Switch business until March 2024.

Whether it is "after Switch" or at any time, the most important thing for us is whether we can provide what our customers really want.

Tu Yuan Pexels on the life cycle of Nintendo Switch, Toshitaro Furukawa replied: we are still developing Nintendo Switch software for the next fiscal year (before March 2025).

While still maintaining the momentum, we will devote ourselves to continue to expand the Switch business. It is hoped that the momentum of Zelda and movies will continue this fiscal year and do a good job in the business war at the end of the year. As for hardware, it will not only maximize new demand, but also expand the "second" and replacement needs.

With regard to the increase in the number of developers in this department, he said:

The resources needed for individual game development are increasing, and we must strengthen our own development system. If you want to develop games that meet Nintendo's expectations, you can't simply increase the number of people. Therefore, rather than moving resources outside the company, we must strengthen internal development resources that have an in-depth understanding of Nintendo's DNA and brand concepts.

Although I don't deny the use of Mumbai (mergers and acquisitions), it may not have the desired effect if it is joined by an organization that does not understand Nintendo's philosophy. On the other hand, if there is a company with a development concept similar to that of Nintendo, we want to build a variety of partnerships, not just mergers and acquisitions.

It is worth mentioning that the industry's well-known whistleblower Tom Henderson previously revealed on the X platform, "in the next 12-18 months, many games will simultaneously log on to XSX, PS5, Switch2 and PC platforms."
