Nintendo recently released a new round of financial reports, during which it revealed some information about the upcoming release of the new Switch console. In addition, Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa pointed out that game development will become more complex and time-consuming as technology advances.
Shuntaro Furukawa first clarified that the successor models of the Switch will continue to use the "Nintendo Account", and said that the company aims to maintain and expand the relationship with customers, and this foundation includes the improvement of the customer experience and the creation of new added value with the Nintendo Account as the core. In order to maintain long-term relationships with customers across hardware generations, successor models should continue to leverage this account as well.
In addition, Shuntaro Furukawa said that further long-term, complex, and professional game development in the future is inevitable. In order to cope with this, the company has been able to grow through mergers and acquisitions, but first of all, the company's basic policy is to cultivate human resources who understand the Nintendo brand and continue to work with developers who have worked with them for many years to create Nintendo's own IP.
