During Nintendo’s investor Q&A, a question came up about the risks Nintendo faces when transitioning from one platform to another, as well as the competition they face
Wccftech interviewed Owlcat Games on the first Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader DLC, Void Shadows, and the overall post-launch support for the cRPG.
Naoki Yoshida aka Yoshi-P is one of the best game directors out there today. For more than 10 years, he has been tuning the success of the incredible comeback of FinalFantasy XIVwith increasingly better expansions such as Heavensward, Stormblood, Shadowbringers and Endwalker. Dawntrail is out in two weeks, and it's shaping up to be a holiday for the Warriors of Light, but it's clear that there's definitely a lot more at stake.
Mark Rubin, executive producer for XDefiant, has since gone on X (formerly Twitter) to address the outpouring of complaints.
“Since we have often experienced hardship in the past following a good-selling platform, we never automatically assume that our current position is solidified. Furthermore, as you mentioned, our business is constantly subject to fierce competition.”
This couldn’t be more true and proper way of looking at things. Really hoping they knock it out of the park with Switch 2.
We all know that Switch 2 won’t be the most powerful handheld on the planet. Nintendo know that having the most powerful hardware isn’t the main selling component as it’s all about the games. Switch sales prove that.
Switch 2 will bring games that's all we care about
with zero competition, they still afraid like little cat
launch this next-generation handheld already
nah fam, we need SNES 2...
Having backwards compatibility would be immensely helpful in their transition to their next handheld. All Switch games having framerate drops would be instantly solved, and dynamic resolution should almost always be at the highest. That alone would garner a lot of sales.
