Nintendo Switch

When Nintendo was trying to keep Switch on store shelves last year, one of the issues encountered was procuring parts for actually producing the system. The company provided insight into the situation during its 78th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

According to senior executive officer Hirokazu Shinshi, Nintendo receives cooperation from manufactures due to Switch’s momentum, “and because we shared with many of them our vision.” Shinshi anticipates that parts still won’t be easy to come by, but believes Nintendo will still be able to meet its forecasts.


Nintendo Labo

Nintendo has a lofty goal in mind for the fiscal year ending in March 2019. The company is targeting 20 million hardware units sold for Switch to go along with 100 million software units.

During Nintendo’s 78th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, the Big N was asked how the current situation compares to its estimates. Former president Tatsumi Kimishima spoke about this as well as the performance of Nintendo Labo.

Today, Microids provided brand new information about the Toki remake for Switch. The shoot ’em up platformer, which originally came out for arcades in 1989, is seeing a release in November.

Here’s an overview and new screenshots:
