© NintendoDo you want Nintendo to revive some of its older and perhaps lesser known IPs for the Switch generation? Well, if Shuntaro Furukawa’s latest comments are something that will have to happen, it’s probably best not to raise your hopes too high.
During an interview with Nikkei earlier this week, the Nintendo president explained what part of the company’s current focus was on “new ideas” and what would come next (also known as the future). While Nintendo has a lot of older franchises, it may seem like it’s only really interested in maintaining evergreen titles and “basic series” (like Mario and Zelda).
This is exactly what Furukawa had to say, courtesy of a Nintendo Everything translation:
“We are constantly looking for new ideas and researching what we can use next. In the future, we not only want to work on our basic series like Mario and Zelda, but also work on new games and new series. “
Nintendo was able to take Zelda and Mario to new heights of this generation The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild i Super Mario Odyssey. Along with these more familiar series, we’ve also seen several new games, such as ARMS i Ring Fit Adventure.
How would you like to see more “new games and new series” from Nintendo moving forward? You want another success story like this Squadron, or do you prefer an explosion from the past? Share your thoughts below.
