Nintendo not too long ago held its newest General Meeting of Shareholders Q&A session, and whereas many queries had been understandably aimed on the prolonged lifespan of the Switch and its inevitable successor, one attendee appeared notably concerned about Nintendo’s ideas on the metaverse.
It’s okay although, do not begin sweating simply but. Nintendo’s President Shuntaro Furukawa expressed a fairly obscure curiosity within the idea of the metaverse, however in the end said that it will be “troublesome” for Nintendo to method at this second in time.
Here’s precisely what was mentioned:
Q: Recently, the idea of the metaverse – the place a number of unspecified customers can play collectively in a shared digital house – has emerged. What do you consider this?
Furukawa: Although the passion will not be as excessive as earlier than, the metaverse continues to seize the eye of many corporations around the globe, and I feel the idea has potential. But although we sense its potential, we additionally consider it is not going to be straightforward to obviously outline what sorts of enjoyable and surprises it could possibly present to shoppers.
We would possibly think about one thing if we will discover a technique to categorical it with a Nintendo like method – which is to say, one that’s simply understood by many shoppers – however I consider that this may be troublesome nowadays.
So there you go! It does not sound like Nintendo is about prepared to leap into the metaverse simply but, nevertheless it’s positively one thing to control within the years to come back.
