Kennysplash Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 The Nintendo president, Shuntaro Furukawa, recently stated that longer game development cycles are unavoidable in the current gaming landscape. During a shareholder Q&A session, Furukawa mentioned that game development has become more complex, prolonged, and advanced, necessitating the expansion of development resources and necessary investments. Longer development cycles are unavoidable due to advancements in hardware and software. I believe this highlights Nintendo’s efforts to adapt and evolve while maintaining their dedication to quality and innovation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajay25 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 This makes sense, but it also means games will be a lot more expensive (look for $100+ games, or games with high-priced expansion packs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 I don't have any problems with that at all. Just look at games that launch annually like COD and Fifa and look who their quality has suffered over the years. I'm all for longer game development cycles if it ups the quality of games.

Lens Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 I understand that Nintendo is actually taking their time with new games, and that's okay with me. I know it's getting harder to make games now because of the fancy tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
