Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa shares his thoughts on future third-party support as the next console iterations from Sony and Microsoft widen the performance gap.
Druckmann claims the tech could 'push the boundaries of storytelling in games.'
I’m more interested in what else he said.
“Neil Druckmann says new Naughty Dog title could ‘redefine mainstream perceptions of gaming’
He also said it has "ethical issues we need to address" but of course that doesn't get the clicks.
I’m all for it. Cuts the time to make a game. Look, Hellblade 2 took 5 years to make, if AI can do that in half the time, as a consumer, I support it.
CD Projekt RED and Yigsoft have launched The Witcher 3 REDkit on PC. We interviewed both studios to discuss the release of these mod tools.
Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick joins 'Money Movers' to discuss the company's quarterly earnings results, how confident Zelnick is in the guidance for fall 2025, and much more.
They'll need to release a more powerful Switch eventually.
They will need to constantly turn out them Nintendo Exclusives in order to maintain their base support. I would imagine at least 1 AAA Nintendo first party exclusive each month. Perhaps even more especially around the holiday seasons.
I hadn't stop to think about that yet. But once the new consoles got release they will be like 20x more powerful than the Switch.
However I don't think that the Switch will be really that affected. Maybe it will become an obstacle for some third party ports, but as the console is receiving ports from all over the place (old gen, current gen, mobile, etc...) I believe it will be just fine.
But that might make Nintendo pressure Nvidia to actually make the Tegra X2 a usable SoC for a handheld device.
The power gap between Switch and PS5/Xbox Scarlett will be akin to the power gap between Wii and PS3/360
Just keep releasing more Marios and Zelda’s.
That’s what people buy Nintendo consoles for.
