Nintendo is addressing concerns related to the rising development costs of its upcoming Switch 2 console. The company acknowledges that increasing expenses pose challenges, but it intends to maintain its traditional approach to game development despite these financial pressures. To help offset high costs, Nintendo may implement shorter development periods for some games. The Switch 2 is priced at $449, a figure that Nintendo president considers appropriate for the gaming experience offered. However, the company is closely monitoring whether this price point could become a barrier for younger consumers. Industry observers are also considering the potential impact of the Switch 2 on the $92 billion mobile gaming market.
