On April 12, Nintendo announced that it would spend 5 billion yen (about 250 million yuan) to acquire a 10,028.55 square meter piece of municipal land next to the company, and planned to build the "Nintendo Honsho Company's Second Opening Pole (nickname)" on it, in order to strengthen the company's research and development capabilities. The building is a 12-storey, 72-meter-high Nintendo Headquarters Second Development Center and is expected to be completed in December 2027.
In terms of footprint, Nintendo's new R&D base is even larger than the original headquarters, and after completion, the company's team will undoubtedly become larger.
Think about it for a while, Nintendo to build a 12-story building for 5 years, which is too slow, and from the public design drawings, the shape of the building is relatively simple, according to the reasoning, the difficulty of construction should not be high, it may also be slow work, layer by layer "polishing" it. I have to say that Nintendo is still quite willing to spend money, just a piece of land spent 250 million, the next construction cost must be quite a lot.
According to the domestic infrastructure speed, 5 years is enough to build a very modern skyscraper, Nintendo this building, in China is estimated to be completed in December this year. Of course, ridicule is ridicule, and Nintendo building buildings must also be to enhance its own capabilities.
As the second development center of Nintendo Headquarters, the new building is definitely carrying the heavy responsibility of new product development, and it is time to think of a new generation of Switch, which is very popular. It has been five years since the release of the first generation of Switch, and the former Nintendo has said that it is still only in the middle of its life for the Switch, that is to say, the current Switch can at least last for five more years, and the research and development base has landed, and a new generation of Switch can appear.
For Xiao Lei, The switch's biggest regret at present is that the performance is relatively backward, most of the games can only run at 720P 30 frame specifications, "Zelda Legend: Breath of the Wilderness" can be said to be a major god of Switch, but due to poor resolution, frame rate performance, resulting in the game experience is affected, OLED version is only a little improvement in the display effect, the overall has not changed much.
When Nintendo's new R&D center is completed, the Switch should also usher in the "tenth anniversary", when the new generation of Switch or switch Pro, which is stuck in the news, is also time to come out. In the end, Nintendo still has no opponents, and it is normal that hardware updates are not active, and when Nintendo has stronger hardware, Xiao Lei also pays money to support it.
