Gaming News This studio specializing in Switch ports can do both the best and the worst, it’s being bought by Nintendo
Nintendo just did something crazy and offered itself a new studio to do its ports. While this is a good sign for the Nintendo Switch 2, one thing to keep in mind is the quality of the games.
With the (still very tentative) announcement of… Nintendo Switch 2Fans hope the Japanese company will be ambitious. From what little we know about the future machine, it would finally be able to hit 60 FPS and 1080p on all titles. Some are already calling it “the pocket PS4”. Unfortunately, we don’t have any official information at the moment, but 29025 will certainly be a very important year for the company as it could finally unveil its new console. Only time can tell. In any case, many gamers are already wondering what types of original games could be developed on it. With this surprising acquisition of Nintendo, the studio could already be leaving some clues.
From Embracer to Nintendo
One of the biggest buyers in the video game industry is certainly Embracer; also called the ogre of video games. However, the strategy has already shown its shortcomings, with several hundred employees laid off and certain studios dissolved or abandoned. However, it seems that Nintendo has decided to keep some furniture, since it has just been acquired Shiver Entertainment, specializing in portages. He had already worked with the Japanese to bring the infamous and graphically very questionable Mortal Kombat 1, but also Hogwarts Legacy: Hogwarts Legacy to Nintendo Switch.
It is currently unclear what kind of work Shiver Entertainment will do. On the other hand, we can assume that this will be helpful Nintendo’s new strategy regarding its Switch 2. It wouldn’t be surprising if Big N decided to increase the number of ports between the two consoles, but why not Sony and Microsoft? Until then, the Switch had hosted very few triple AAAs from other consoles. We can still cite the very impressive of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete EditionThe Witcher 3, and why not that of Red Dead Redemption too. However, it should be noted that every time The Japanese came too late. With the new machine, the company should be able to close this gap.
Will more studios be added?
At the moment it is difficult to say whether Shiver Entertainment will do this the sole survivor of Embracer or not. However, given the statements made by Shuntaro Furukawa, the president of Nintendo, several acquisitions seem to be expected. “We will initially work within the company with our developers who fully understand the Nintendo brand […]. In addition, many of our external partners have acquired extensive knowledge of the studio […] et We want to strengthen these connections“, he confided during a conversation with investors.
