Nintendo executive believes that great ideas, not big budgets, are more important for games

Nintendo's head of hardware Ko Shiota spoke about investments in next-generation technology. He is confident that increased spending on research and development does not necessarily guarantee great success.

“The most important thing for Nintendo is to generate new ideas.”

According to Ko Shiota, software and hardware development teams must work together to generate innovative ideas and drive the industry forward. This approach helped the gaming giant revolutionize handheld gaming with the release of the Nintendo Switch.

The statement suggests that the hardware division will strive for similar innovations with the next console. Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to follow in its predecessor’s footsteps next year, but there may also be surprises.
