Given the large player base still engaged with the Switch, if we can create engaging content, we aim to keep bringing out new titles.”

He went on to emphasize the importance of exclusive games, stating, “However, exclusive games are vital when it comes to launching new hardware. With this goal in mind, we’ll explore various strategies to ensure that both the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 offer compelling experiences for gamers.”
