Nintendo on claim that Switch isn’t an innovation, says Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza couldn’t be realized on Switch 1

Nintendo Switch 2 offers plenty of power and has new features like mouse controls and GameChat, but it’s building off the foundations of its predecessor. Partially because of that, some have the belief that it’s not much of an innovation.
Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa responded to that claim during a financial results briefing Q&A this week.
