Nintendo on measures it’s taking for rising development costs and increased game prices

Posted on 3 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

Just like the rest of the gaming industry, Nintendo is not immune to rising development costs and the time it takes to create titles. President Shuntaro Furukawa shared a few thoughts on the subject during a shareholders meeting last week.

Furukawa was asked about measures Nintendo is taking about higher game development costs and rising prices, which could mean fewer people playing games.
