Nintendo Switch Exclusive Games May Have Loot Boxes Hints Nintendo Boss
In a move that may make long-time Nintendo fans uncomfortable, Fils-Aime voiced his support for loot boxes.
“Loot boxes, broadly speaking, have gotten a bit of a bad rap. The game mechanic of buying something that you’re not sure what’s inside is as old as baseball cards. What we believe at Nintendo is that a gameplay mechanic that offers the consumer something to buy that they’re not sure what’s inside can be interesting as long as that’s not the only way you can get those items. And that’s where some developers have made some mistakes. For us, its one of many mechanics we can use to drive on-going engagement in the game,” he said in an interview with Bloomberg.
