“The account will be a solid basis,” says the Nintendo boss about the Switch 2 and specifies what will be most important for the arrival of the new console
The Switch 2 is highly anticipated, but we still have very little official information about it. During an interview, the president of Nintendo spoke about the console and specified what will be very important: Nintendo Accounts.
The rest after this ad
A lot has changed at Nintendo since the last console launch. With the Nintendo Switch, success is more than assured, and it’s no surprise that its successor will be an ongoing model that will utilize many current features. This time, We’re going to talk about the importance of Nintendo Accounts, a point that Doug Bowser brought up.
A tool to facilitate communication
The President of Nintendo America spoke about the transition to the next console and reiterated the importance of Nintendo Accounts. Doug Bowser spoke during an interview with Inverse:
Well, first of all, I can’t comment on the rumors that are circulating – or rather, I won’t comment on them. But one thing we’ve done with the Switch to make communication and transition easier is creating the Nintendo Account.
This is certainly a change from other generations of the Big N: “In the past, every device we moved to had a completely new account system. By creating the Nintendo Account we can communicate with our players when we move to a new platform to facilitate this process or transition,” he explains (via VGC).
Nintendo’s goal with the account system for Switch 2
Bowser says his goal is to “minimize the decline that you typically experience in the last year of one cycle and the beginning of another.” However, he adds: “I can’t speak to the potential features of a new platform, but Nintendo Account is a solid foundation for that communication as we make the transition.”
