Elsewhere within the interview, when requested about what we would see from the Switch’s successor, Bowser was sometimes coy together with his response, focusing as a substitute on the success of Nintendo’s present console which he’s “nonetheless feeling very bullish about” as he hinted in direction of “a really very robust lineup” coming to the Switch sooner or later.
Seems like a reasonably customary response, proper? Well the NOA president adopted it up by commenting on the individuality of the Switch, probably hinting that its successor might take a equally distinctive strategy:
one of many causes that even going into 12 months seven we really feel very assured that the Switch can have a robust efficiency over the following few years is that it’s nonetheless actually that distinctive machine that you could play in quite a lot of methods, at house, on the go. One of the issues we have a look at at all times is how can we shock and delight. How can we introduce new distinctive methods of enjoying. That’s at all times in entrance of our thoughts.
It’s these closing two sentences that acquired us considering for a second there. Is this a touch that Nintendo’s subsequent console will convey a novel strategy to play too? What might this presumably be? We suppose that Nintendo has typically been about mixing issues up relating to discovering new methods to play (even outdoors of the Switch, the Wii and DS had this concept on the forefront of their design) so might Nintendo be seeking to carry this on into future consoles?
The fact is, in all probability. But that is not to say that that is what Bowser was referring to in his reply. The head of NOA might simply as simply be affirming the Switch’s distinctive design as certainly one of its most interesting facets, utilizing this as an argument for why Nintendo may wish to stick with the console for some time but. His true intention might go both method!
Be it a touch on the future or a purpose for the Switch’s success, Bowser is true about Nintendo’s constant innovation (even when that does imply that we’re going to be seeing extra $70 video games within the years to come back). We advocate trying out AP News’ full interview for much more insights from Bowser himself.
