The coronavirus has affected all kinds of industries and businesses. That includes Nintendo, as the company has struggled to maintain Switch supply and has had to face a work-at-home environment. A status update was provided in its financial results update today.
As for getting product into the marketplace, Nintendo says that “delays in production and shipping are gradually recovering.” There’s more of a concern regarding development since, if the effects of the coronavirus “are prolonged or worsen further, development schedules may be impacted due to the difference in development environments between working from home and in the office.” It’s noted that the situation in Japan “is anticipated to be even more difficult to predict” and there’s an overall warning that “we may not be able to proceed with the release of Nintendo products and the start of services as planned.”

Publisher Mediascape will be behind the Summer release of Strategy RPG Lily: Shiroki Yuri no Otome-tachi for Nintendo Switch. Developed by Disfact, the game now has a website for the upcoming release, which can be seen here.

This puts the focus more heavily on the actual narrative at hand, allowing the players the freedom to enjoy the story itself along with the updated side content previously seen as DLC.
