As part of its investment strategy, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa opened the door to potential game developer acquisitions.
Following Nintendo’s excellent quarterly and half-year results, President Shuntaro Furukawa shared a 61-page document with investors detailing the Japanese game and console manufacturer’s strategy going forward.
Nintendo is mainly focused on keeping the momentum after the launch of the Switch 2 with a schedule filled with first-party releases, such as Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment (which we just reviewed), Kirby Air Riders, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, Mario Tennis Fever, Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, Pokémon Pokopia, and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave. But Furukawa also boasted that the console offers the ‘largest third-party software lineup for a new Nintendo hardware ever’, increasing appeal for those gamers who aren’t content with just first-party offerings.
Furukawa recognized that demand has exceeded the company’s expectations in certain regions, resulting in ongoing shortages of Switch 2 systems. After apologizing for the inconvenience, he remarked that Nintendo will continue striving to deliver a stable supply of hardware.
