Chrkeller said: If we look at the evidence, we see Nintendo just bought a company that specializes in porting to weaker hardware.. if third party were going to target the series S, rtx 2050 and S2 then Nintendo wouldn't have made the investment. |
Everything in the industry requires money ... unless you think people work for free in this business.
Nintendo bought that studio likely because they are anticipating ports from PS5-generation games to Switch 2. It's not exactly rocket science.
They probably may have been in negotiations with some high level 3rd party for a port or port(s) of certain titles and just moved in on that company to seal the deal.
If Nintendo now goes to discuss a port of game XYZ from a big publisher they can simply point out "hey we have a studio that we can contract to you to make that port happen". Simple as that.
