 Hey switch owners switch owners. I'm talking to you Nintendo has some good news for us Apparently they intend I Mean, I'm sure they always intended but they intend to maintain a steady stream of releases for switch One of my primary concerns for Nintendo switch during year one is how the heck are they gonna follow this up in year two and year three? It almost seems impossible Start it with Zelda and it with Mario release a bunch of really good games in between most of them exclusive some of them Not well here Nintendo has finally addressed it So I'm getting this it comes from for gamer, which is a Japanese publication So I'm gonna read this from Nintendo everything who had translated it I'm just gonna read their post in its entirety so you can gain the full context of what it says Since there aren't any direct quotes given. It's a bunch of paraphrasing again, you know, they translated it So full credit to Nintendo everything. I'll have a link to their post on this or down in the description below For a game republished a new interview today with Super Mario Odyssey producer Yoshiaki Kozumi It was mainly about that game as you would expect but the piece also contains some talk about the switch in general It's worth noting that Koizumi was the overall general producer of the switch hardware Towards the end of its interview for gamer brought up how switch is getting a number of big games at a steady pace in its first year The site almost feels like Nintendo compressed a five-year console cycle into just one year in Response Koizumi noted how the beginning is important when establishing a game console Not only is the amount of software that's important But also how long it takes in which people become satisfied in playing them Switch was released in March rather than at the end of the year where the battle for sales is basically at its peak With Nintendo wanting to properly line up the idea of how switch can be played before the holiday season Koizumi went on to talk about how Nintendo's various games hit and different points For Zelda Breath of the Wild Nintendo wanted to feel the surprise of switch letting you take a home console quality game on the go One-two switch was made for Explaining the joy con and Mario Kart 8 deluxe is to let people experience the idea of sharing controllers Then Splatoon 2 is to convey the fun of local multiplayer and arms is a way to show that Nintendo is also creating new IPs The company also calculated the timing to release Super Mario Odyssey and ZLB Chronicles 2 in being prepared for those who want a full-fledged RPG Koizumi did note how it was really hectic to make these titles fit just right into the schedule For a gamer pointed out how this was the timing And it becomes very important because each title has its own role to which Koizumi agreed with Four gamer closes out this section of the discussion by bringing up some concerns that Nintendo won't be able to maintain Its strong pace of software since so many mainstay games are brought out this year However, Koizumi said that things are being constructed in such a way that the steady pace will be Maintained Also, Nintendo still has a number of IPs left Koizumi added that there should be many third parties that will look into ways of using the console So there is that to look forward to as well Let that sink in Nintendo, I think the big thing to take away from all of this is I see one path that Nintendo can continue this steady stream of releases and that is if they're done with the 3ds We did an episode on last week's podcast talking about the death of the 3ds It's time It's time The way that they can maintain the switches momentum the way that they can maintain the steady streams is for all of Nintendo's games To come out on a single platform It's never happened in the history of Nintendo or 30 years in and Nintendo has never had all of their teams working on games For a single platform that happening is going to equal to a steady stream of releases It could even equal to another Mario game and another Zelda game releasing on switch a 3d Mario game at that And the 3d is all the game at that because all the teams are focused on a single platform Which is going to make games not only come out faster, but a wider variety of games as well This first year was fantastic. There is no doubt. No one doubts how amazing this first year was Arguably the best first year for exclusive games for a console launch. Maybe ever But to follow that up with something better. We know Metroid's coming. We know Pokemon's coming We know fire emblems coming heck We're probably gonna find out animal crossing is coming as well Nintendo has so many IPs to hit on I wouldn't even mind them continuing to make new IPs while bringing back some of their old ones Think about all the old IPs. I mean, isn't the time ready now for another button Kato's to come back a wave race and f0 Nintendo has many ways to capitalize on this generation So even if they don't release a Mario Kart 8 9 because they view Mario Kart 8 deluxe as this generation's Mario Kart They still have an excuse to release wave race then they still have an excuse to release an f0 We're still got Kirby and Yoshi coming Nintendo's got a pretty big library of games and while nothing in their library is arguably as big as say Pokemon Zelda and Mario They have a lot of really really big titles animal crossing is actually more popular than a lot of people think and I'm hoping fire Elmo Warriors actually sells really well because I like the fire emblem series and so far I'm enjoying the game but Yeah, this is just all really really interesting to me and I want to get your guys's thoughts on it in the comments below I'm also going to put a thread up for talking about this over on our forums at forums dot Nintendo prime net So if you guys want to go over there and continue the conversation beyond today You can even quote your own comments if you want.
