Japanese publication Nikkei has additional comments from Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima about Switch and more.

First, Kimishima reiterates that pre-orders are going well. Since Nintendo is offering a new type of play style and experience in the form of a portable home console and controller that can sense the player’s motion, it is familiar to Wii in some ways. Kimishima thinks there is potential for Switch to sell as well as Wii.

We also have one extra note on Switch’s online service. To reiterate, it will cost between 2,000 and 3,000 yen per year. Kimishima says monthly and yearly payment options will be available.

Yoshi and his Woolly World are back to entertain you again, but this time on the 3DS – and with a friend.
