This information comes from Nintendo’s Tatsumi Kimishima…
We began releasing Nintendo titles non-stop with the launch of Nintendo Switch, and kept the new-release buzz alive through the end of the year. We are continuing to release new titles since the start of this new year as well. And we are selling more titles across a broad array of genres, from those with widely accessible characters and settings like the Kirby series, to those like Bayonetta that are well regarded by game fans, all of which gives us a real sense that our consumer base is growing.
Kimishima on Nintendo Labo’s demographic, “off to a great start”
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News | 0 comments
This information comes from Nintendo’s Tatsumi Kimishima…
Firstly, Nintendo Labo has had the high expectation as a “very Nintendo” product since the original announcement in January this year, and as soon as it was launched, consumers have been posting photos and video of parents and children as they work together to assemble the cardboard pieces and then play with their completed Toy-Con, which were unimaginable in video games before. It has been on sale for only a week in Japan and the US, while sales in Europe will begin today, but the main purchasers of Nintendo Labo at launch are not the same as with typical video games, and they are mainly elementary school children and their fathers, as well as game players who like creative activities. We developed and will nurture Nintendo Labo as a product that is not constrained by the boundaries of conventional video games and can endear itself to a broader range of consumers. From the initial response, we have this solid feeling that we are off to a great start in that regard.

Fortnite on Switch is a rumor that always seems to pop up, but especially more so this week. That’s because LeakyPandy, who leaked some information about the most recent Nintendo Direct but was also off base with many claims regarding the presentation, posted new speculation on Twitter that’s making the rounds.
LeakyPandy claims that the PvP Battle Royale game and the PvE Save the World mode will be coming to Switch, with an announcement at E3. Further stated is that cross-play will be supported and Nintendo exclusive content is planned.

The Long Dark dev hiring Unity programmer to make a Switch version happen
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Hinterland Studio is trying to bring The Long Dark to Switch. The developer has posted an official job listing in which a Unity programmer will be hired to work on a port.
The Long Dark is described as “a thoughtful, exploration-survival experience that challenges solo players to think for themselves as they explore an expansive frozen wilderness in the aftermath of a geomagnetic disaster.” It found quite a bit of success on Steam last year, and has been migrating to other platforms since then.
