Nintendo released 22 console games or ushered in an explosion

Beijing News Shell Financial News (reporter Qin Che) On February 10, Nintendo Nintendo, a well-known game platform manufacturer in Japan, held a new phase of the face-to-face meeting. At the meeting, Nintendo introduced a number of Upcoming Switch games in 2022 in 40 minutes.

"It feels like Nintendo is going to make a big move in 2022." Kobayashi (pseudonym), a player who paid attention to the conference, told reporters, "The sequels of many previous masterpieces will be listed this year, and some new games may also appear." ”

The reporter learned that Nintendo has announced the production or release of 22 games. Among them, there are many classic game sequels such as "Fire Emblem: Wind and Snow Moon", "Jet Warrior 3", "Alien Blade 3" and so on, which have aroused the pursuit of countless players. In addition, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Edition, which has previously sold well in the market, will also launch a new paid level with additional DLC (new expansion pack) and join the lineup of the Nintendo Switch Online expansion pack.

But to the regret of many players, the previously anticipated "Zelda Legends: Breath of the Wild 2" and "Hollow Knight: Song of Silk" two games did not appear at the press conference.

According to a number of players told reporters, the reason behind Nintendo's launch of multiple games on such a large scale is likely to attract players' attention and purchases, and then continue to consolidate its leading position in the handheld console market.

Although mobile games currently occupy the vast majority of the game market, players who are increasingly pursuing the essence of games are beginning to tire of the quality of mobile games and gradually return to the field of console games. "The quality of the mobile game market is uneven, many games often need kryptonite gold, and they also require various tasks to be completed every day, which feels less and less interesting." Kobayashi said, "Console games are far better than mobile games in terms of picture quality and playability, and the rich content is more attractive to players." ”

In fact, Sony and Microsoft have made efforts before, not only launching a new flagship console, but also launching a number of new games, setting off a rush of players in the market.

According to a seller who sells game consoles, before the Spring Festival, there was indeed a wave of purchase climax, whether it was a host or a game disc was snapped up by players. "Game consoles including Switch and PS5 were sold out, and nearly 100 consoles were sold within a week."

The successive efforts of the old opponents made Nintendo, which is also known as one of the "Royal Three Houses" in the game console field, naturally unable to sit still. Previously, Nintendo announced the relevant performance report for 2021. It said that even if the console is affected by chip shortages and supply chain industries in 2021, Switch console sales still reached 13.54 million units, becoming the fastest game console in Nintendo's history to reach 100 million sales. It is also expected that its long-prepared Switch Pro console may also be listed in the next one or two years.

"And this time Nintendo launched a number of games, perhaps the purpose is to catch up with this wave of game craze and participate in this game console war." Kobayashi said.
