The battle of handhelds has commenced. Can Nintendo Switch retain it’s crown as the best handheld in the industry and continue to resonate with it’s audience?
Look, I really think they will. There will be a lot of competition going into the future but this is Nintendo we’re talking about. However, even if they just came out and showed us modernisation of their whole platform to be suitable for the modern ways of gaming online, while also, using their store. In my opinion, then they’ve won half of the battle already because that certainly has to be their focus with Microsoft and Sony being more in tune with the consumer in that way.
The Game Awards is coming around very quickly and we’ve already heard that there is going to be some big stuff coming out of it from the usual insiders. I am wondering if Nintendo could be ready to show something. After all, they were at Gamescom behind the scenes in some way showing off the Nintendo Switch 2 to publishers.
There actually might be ‘a lot’ to actually show based on what is coming out with new games that they’ll likely show. Whatever we do get it’s going to be something that I’ll be following very closely this time. There has been no leaks whatsoever with this one either.
The fact we’re also on the ten year anniversary of The Game Awards. That in itself should be a tell tale sign of what’s to come with this show.
I always acknowledge when things are going to get interesting in this industry. Because when they come out with ripples in the water in the industry like this it really sets the agenda of what is to possibly come in the future. I’ll be watching this one closely.
