Nærmest hver eneste Nintendo-konsol har oplevet spiltørke i en eller anden form, hvor ejere har måtte vente månedsvis på ny spændende software. Dette skyldes hovedsageligt manglen på støtte fra tredjeparter. Nintendo-præsidenten Tatsumi Kimishima afholdte for nylig en Q&A-session med firmaets investorer, og her afslørede han at de har strategier på plads der skal undgå at det sker på Switch.
"Our vision for Nintendo Switch is to release one title after another with no gaps following the March launch, reach a large number of consumers during the holiday season, and continue to expand the business. Along the way, we found that a lot of consumers were looking forward to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild being released simultaneously with the hardware, which led to our stronger-than-anticipated hardware launch."
"And just [Friday], we released Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which is a title that families can all play together, so we are making sure that this translates into good sell-through, given that our shipments are already higher than we anticipated. [...] "Likewise, upcoming releases like ARMS and Splatoon 2 are very easy for anyone to pick up and play, which further broadens our player base while still offering a deep gameplay experience for serious game fans. We will also have Super Mario Odyssey out in time for the year-end shopping season, and there may be some more titles we will be able to introduce."
