Ubisoft’s Yves Guillemot has been commenting on NX quite a bit over the past couple of weeks, and now we have another statement from the CEO – albeit a brief one. During the company’s annual meeting today, Guillemot said: “Nintendo will be back in the race with the NX”.

Earlier this month, Guillemot mentioned that the new system will be “fantastic”, while also noting that it’s “a new approach, it’s really Nintendo”. He later added Nintendo has learned from mistakes that were made during the Wii U era.
