Who Doesn’t Know Nintendo?
Nintendo’s journey began all the way in 1889 when they started making hanfuda playing cars in Kyoto, Japan.
Since then the company has gained international popularity and become the world’s biggest distributors of video games and entertainment systems. They have also created renowned consoles such as the Game Boy, Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii and most recently the Nintendo Switch. But they’re not stopping there.
In a recent interview with Nikkei, Nintendo’s president spoke of the company’s future plans for Nintendo, particularly their Nintendo Switch.
The Future of the Nintendo Switch
As people are now staying home for longer periods of time, the range of entertainment at their fingertips has increased. With this in mind, Nintendo President, Shuntaro Furukawa has announced that Nintendo will be focusing on developing more original IP for the Nintendo Switch.
In an entertainment world where “Competition is tough”, for people to choose games “they have to be interesting”, says Furukawa.
So looks like Nintendo fans can look forward to some new and exciting games! Nintendo are also looking into creating hardware, so the excitement doesn’t end there.
