Another brief interview with Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa has emerged from Japan. This time around, it was The Sankei News that published the discussion.

Furukawa commented on a few different topics, including Switch’s success towards the end of 2018. He also weighed in – yet again – on looking to sell 20 million units by the end of the fiscal year, and it’s here that something interesting was said. According to Furukawa, Nintendo is trying to focus on selling Switch and is “not considering a successor or a price cut at this time.” Given the system’s success, perhaps that isn’t an overly surprising statement.

Deadline, which has accurately reported in happenings within the television and movie industry, is claiming that Netflix is working on a scripted TV series for Resident Evil. German production and distribution company Constantin Film, which is behind the Resident Evil movies, has been named as the studio involved. Netflix is apparently looking for a showrunner at the moment.

Deadline adds that “the plan is for the series to expand the Resident Evil universe and deepen the exiting mythology.” It will “keep the basic premise, which also served as a setup for the movie franchise. The drama series will explore the dark inner workings of the Umbrella Corporation and the new world order caused by the outbreak of the T-virus.” Fans can look forward to “all of Resident Evil’s signature elements, including action sequences and ‘easter eggs.'”
