I’ve given up on trying to predict what Nintendo will do — especially when it comes to the Switch 2


The surprise is part of the fun.

When Sony and Microsoft ushered in the current generation of consoles, Nintendo launched a new version of the Game & Watch, an LCD handheld from the ’80s. “But what I wanted to express with this museum is that we are first and foremost an entertainment company.” While it’s been building a new console in secret and sending out its current one on a high note, it has also been branching out in new directions. That includes bringing Nintendo experiences into the real world through a theme park partnership with Universal — an initiative so important that Miyamoto has played a major role — and a (so far) successful jump into feature films with TheSuper Mario Bros. Movie, created by Minions studio Illumination.
