Shuntaro Furukawa, president of the company, rules out that the future will be to create content only available for the portable only model.
Nintendo does not have in its plans the production of exclusive games for Nintendo Switch Lite, the new member of the Switch family only portable and more affordable than the original model. According to Shuntaro Furukawa, president of the Japanese company, the software of both platforms will be shared, as it happens now, with the exception of those titles that require a Joy-Con to play.
Although they plan more remakes of portable console games for Nintendo Switch after the success of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening and Pokémon Let’s GO, these would not be just for Nintendo Switch Lite.
"In our internal conversations we are focusing less on the idea of launching games from the past of portable consoles on the occasion of the launch of Nintendo Switch Lite, and more on what kind of new games we can create for the Nintendo Switch family as a whole," he says. , because they want to create a library whose titles know how to fit in all types of users, both domestic and those who prefer the portable style.
The price of Nintendo Switch will not fall in the short term
In that same meeting with the group of shareholders, Mr. Furukawa has ruled out any type of price drop of the Nintendo Switch hybrid model for the success of both this and the Lite version. With more than 41 million units sold in two and a half years, Nintendo Switch becomes one of the fastest selling consoles in the entire history of the medium.
It should be noted that Wii took almost three years (from its launch in November 2016 to September 2009) to lower its official price; went from $ 249 to $ 199. Nintendo Switch, therefore, will take longer than this system to officially lower the price unless that reduction occurs in the PVP before March 2020. The next generation consoles, PS5 and Xbox Project Scarlett, will reach the market in Naviades de 2020, when Nintendo will have to respond with his best cards; We do not know if with that possible price drop.
