[NS] Nintendo Switch

The Switch is not region-locked, meaning that it can play foreign games with no restrictions. As someone who likes to play a lot of games from other regions, I’m very pleased. Of course it’s a general policy, so there may be extreme cases where restrictions are put in place.

People tend to think of me as someone who solely works for or with Nintendo, but I actually didn’t know of this information until I saw the presentation. Can I really play Breath of the Wild on March 3rd? It almost doesn’t feel real.

Since the days of the Game Boy, Nintendo has needed to separate their development teams across two platforms. A handheld division, and a home console division. Second and third parties also have to choose between one and the other, or both. The differences in architecture between handheld and home console architectures has been so different, making the same game on both platforms has been impossible. I think on Nintendo’s side, the only game that’s really succeeded in that regard has been Smash for Wii U/3DS.

In the past, when Nintendo approached the release of new hardware, they might even have had teams working on three or more different platforms at once. Before, directors, departments, and studios might have been working on different platforms, but now the Switch can unify all of that development power. On a simple level, we can expect a big increase in Nintendo’s development power.

Oui thonyo again, ce snake pass a l air sympa comme tout, c est un jeu multiplateforme et c est aussi une suite spirituel à un des meilleurs jeux rare et Nes américaine, à savoir snake rattle n' roll. D'ailleurs c est le même compositeur pour les deux jeux, le très connu David wise.
