Forums - Nintendo - Reggie interview - potential hint at cloud saves, Switch sales very successful and more

TLDW from NeoGAF user LordKano;

Reggie has data for the five first day of sales for the Switch (US), it's still the best-selling Nintendo system on that time.

He was asked the question about why are some games priced more on Switch than on other systems (likely referring to RiME), he just said that it was a third-party decision and Nintendo is not involved in that case.

He talks about Zelda sales in Japan, and said that, usually Zelda is more of a western IP and isn't selling that well in Japan, but this time the game is "killing it" in every territory.

Cloud saves. He said "wouldn't that be wonderful ? Stay tuned."

He was asked about Animal Crossing, Smash Bros and various games. To Super Smash Bros, he specifically answered that "our philosophy at Nintendo is to have one great experience of each franchise on each console. So, in the future, who knows when, you can anticipate that all our big franchises will be adressed".

Interesting stuff ! He talks about when he entered the company, in December 2003 and how he felt pressure about the PSP announcement a few months earlier from Sony.

He says that he's constantly being asked if his body is ready, even when he travels for personal stuff lol.

More surprise to come concerning 3DS.

Done. Skipped some stuff, you should watch the whole thing, pretty interesting.

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

They're probably read only to reduce costs (?), but hopefully they add the support to save it to the microSD card too.



No cloud saves. Just put in codes to save your game progress.

So, he has the data for the first five days. I wish that he would tell us what they were.



First teasing at Metroid, and now this. Reggie's body is ready

Gee, wonder if someone mentioned cloud saves recently?

Was it Reggie last time too?
