Amazon Games CEO Christoph Hartmann recently spoke to IGN about the company’s future plans regarding Nintendo’s next console. He expressed his enthusiasm for developing games for the upcoming system, referring to the Switch as a “fantastic product” and praising Nintendo’s approach to quality over rushing a product to market.
Hartmann emphasized the importance of waiting for Nintendo to perfect their next device rather than rushing its release. He stated, “I’d rather have them wait a year and get it perfect than rush it to the market and then we all complain about what doesn’t work… Switch has been such a fantastic product, I can wait another year if I have to.” This patient approach highlights Amazon Games’ commitment to delivering high-quality gaming experiences.
Amazon Games’ Portfolio Mix
While Amazon Games has not released any titles on a Nintendo platform before, they have an extensive portfolio that includes games like New World and collaborations on titles like Lost Ark. Additionally, Amazon Games is set to publish Throne and Liberty, which is scheduled to release on Xbox and PlayStation this year. Despite their past focus on other platforms, Amazon Games is looking forward to expanding their reach to Nintendo’s next console.
Nintendo has confirmed that they will announce the successor to the Switch within this fiscal year. Despite recent rumors about the release date being delayed, developers are eagerly anticipating Nintendo’s next move. This uncertainty has not deterred Amazon Games and other developers from preparing for the new console’s arrival.
Amazon Games’ CEO’s positive outlook on developing games for Nintendo’s upcoming console signifies a promising future for the partnership between the two companies. With a focus on quality and patience, Amazon Games is poised to bring innovative gaming experiences to Nintendo’s dedicated fanbase. As the gaming industry continues to evolve, collaborations like this demonstrate the exciting possibilities that lie ahead for gamers worldwide.
