Kimishima: The second year of Nintendo Switch will be crucial to its success




The president of Nintendo wants to capture the attention of fans who "rarely play a console."

During its first months of life, Nintendo Switch has achieved success in stores around the world but the company responsible for Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda is clear that there is still a long way to go. So much so that the president of Nintendo, Tatsumi Kimishima, believes that this second year of life "will be crucial" for the success of Switch in the long term.

"Our mission is to get more users, including people who rarely play a console," said the president of the Japanese firm. "To be in the long-term competition," he adds, "the second year is crucial"; that's why Nintendo is working hard to expand its catalog of video games with titles for all audiences.

This will be one of the keys to making Nintendo Switch a "console with a long life". Kimishima also emphasizes that one of his priorities is to create new forms of games that boost the sales of the machine. Will they be able to match Wii's success? The president of Nintendo does not offer a clear answer, but he does believe that both consoles will achieve similar sales.
