According to comments made by Furukawa during Nintendo’s recent shareholder Q&A, the plan is to utilise the existing Nintendo Account system to make the jump to the next generation as smooth as possible for customers. Here’s part of what Nintendo’s president had to say, courtesy of a translation by Twitter user Genki:
Shuntaro Furukawa: “As for the transition from Nintendo Switch to the next generation machine, we want to do as much as possible in order to smoothly transition our customers, while utilizing the Nintendo Account.”
I don’t know whether I am the only one. But somehow I want the next Nintendo console to fail. I don’t know whether it’s nostalgia, but I really like the Wii U. Nintendo was trying their damnest to make the system sell well and after the Switch came out. They didn’t bother fixing any vulnerabilities, making it very homebrew friendly. Also they got stupid Nintendo fans like me to throw money at them and keep them financially afloat.
And no, I’m not trolling here. This is serious.
Well, I don’t understand your reasoning completely. You liked Wii U because it failed? I personally don’t care about homebrew, I buy consoles to play games, if there are no games, what’s the point.
Switch is currently my favourite console, so don’t really want next Nintendo console to fail. Want it to succeed even more than Switch.
