Although the Japanese company is keeping an eye on technological evolution, they don’t want to be one of the first companies in using new tech.<\/p>\n

In the Q&A<\/a><\/span> session held for investors, Shuntaro Furukawa, the president of Nintendo<\/strong><\/em>, talked about multiple things (such as leaving necessary censorship to third-party companies<\/a><\/span>, if it’s even needed – we wrote about it recently), such as the cloud technology: \u201eWhile we don’t expect all games to become cloud games any time soon, the technologies are definitely advancing. We see a future where cloud and streaming technologies will develop more and more as a means of delivering games to consumers. We must keep up with such changes in the environment. That being said, if these changes increase the worldwide gaming population, that will just give us more opportunities with our integrated hardware and software development approach to reach people worldwide,\u201d Furukawa said.<\/p>\n

Shigeru Miyamoto, one of the iconic people behind Nintendo<\/strong><\/em>‘s success (creator of Mario and Zelda, do we need to say more?), also spoke: \u201eBecause we don’t publicize [our work] until we release a product, it may look like we’re falling behind. In regards to VR, we think that we have created a product that is easy for our consumers to use in the recently released Nintendo Labo VR Kit<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

I think that cloud gaming will become more widespread in the future, but I have no doubt that there will continue to be games that are fun because they are running locally and not on the cloud. We believe it is important to continue to use these diverse technical environments to make unique entertainment that could only have been made by Nintendo,\u201d Miyamoto said.<\/p>\n

\u201e5G can send a large amount of data without latency. We are aware that this technology has been gaining a lot of attention, and Nintendo is also investigating it. However, we don’t only chase trends in technology. When considering what to offer in our entertainment and services, we think about both how the technology will be applied to gameplay and what new experiences and gameplay we can offer consumers as a result of that application,\u201d Ko Shiota, Nintendo’s director and senior executive officer added.<\/p>\n

So Nintendo<\/strong><\/em> only speaks when they are ready regarding a new product (such as the new Nintendo Switch models?). It’s an interesting, yet unique approach.<\/p>\n
