Nintendo started thinking about the concept for Switch in 2012
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 5 Comments
Each time Nintendo ships new hardware, the company already begins to consider new ideas for the next generation. So it won’t come as much of a surprise then that Nintendo’s Shinya Takahashi recently told Toyo Keizai that the company was thinking about the concept for Switch in 2012.
Takahashi further added that by the time 2014 approached, Nintendo was focused on two core ideas. The Big N wanted two people to easily enjoy playing with detachable controllers, which became the Joy-Con. The other important element was creating a home console device that could also be taken outside.
General Switch producer Yoshiaki Koizumi chimed in on the main ideas behind Switch as well. Nintendo noticed how that, in recent years, there has been a split in the gaming population between people playing casually on smart devices and more serious gamers on the likes of the PlayStation 4 and PC. For Switch, there was a desire to combine the elements of both smart devices and home consoles.
