Som du sikker kan huske, døde Nintendos ikoniske præsident, Satoru Iwata, for næsten to år siden. Han nåede dog at starte udviklingen på den kommende konsol, Switch, men hidtil har vi ikke vidst, hvor meget input han nåede at give.
I et interview med Time kaster Shigeru Miyamoto lys over sagen og forklarer hvad Iwata nåede at bringe til Switch:
"I mentioned that Mr. Iwata, Mr. Takeda and myself provided feedback and made decisions, but ultimately Mr. Iwata was the head of development, so he put a lot of thought and time into Switch. I think that the idea of Nintendo Switch being a device you can take out and anywhere, and the idea of it being a system that really allows networking and communicating with people, I think that's something Mr. Iwata put a lot of emphasis on.
Because Mr. Iwata was tech-savvy, a lot of our discussion involved trying to figure out how to make the technical things like network capabilities or servers or whatever fun. For example, think about when we added the ability to use a browser on the DS. As time goes on, all of these services become more and more advanced, and so we need to think about "How do we incorporate mobile devices or new browser features that come up?" That's something Mr. Iwata and I discussed a lot, really trying to decide what to do and what not to do in our hardware."
Ud fra ovenstående statement lyder det til, at Iwata ville være meget tilfreds med det endelige resultat. For mere om Switch, har Nintendo været ude og forsvare, hvorfor der ikke følger et spil med konsollen. Derudover har et par lækkede dokumenter netop afsløret, at din profil ikke er låst til én konsol.
