Cross-platform play was a topic discussed during Nintendo’s 78th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. One person in attendance brought up the fact that the feature in the likes of Fortnite and Minecraft “has been a big point of appeal.” Nintendo was asked to talk about the relationships it has with other publishers and initiatives for multi-platform titles?
Former Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima and senior executive officer Susumu Tanaka weighed in here. What’s most notable is Tanaka mentioned that Nintendo is “inclined to do what we can to help publishers incorporate crossplay when that is what they want.”
During its 78th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, Nintendo was asked about a possible synergy between Nintendo attractions at Universal Studios Japan and the company’s current products. Former president Tatsumi Kimishina and Shigeru Miyamoto both provided some comments about this.
Here’s what the two shared:
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 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.
