Nintendo: AI & Scalpers are out, Indies and Accessibility is in
The games industry is going through a fairly rough time at the moment, with many studios shuttering, prolific layoffs, and discourse running rampant. Nintendo recently had a shareholder meeting where a lot of questions were asked of Nintendo CEO, Shuntaro Furukawa, which revealed some insightful answers to how Nintendo handles business. in the meeting, Furukawa was asked about AI, Accessibility, and the future of Nintendo. While there was nothing revealed about The Switch Successor, it's clear that Nintendo has a solid strategy moving forward to address many pain points when it comes to releasing a new console, as well as plans to include players with vision impairments, as well as nurture 3rd party support. I have spent my morning translating the minutes from the meeting, and I don't speak a word of Japanese so I do apologize if I have jilted pronunciations of names.
