Final Fantasy XV director Hajime Tabata heeft zich positief uitgelaten over de nieuwe console van Nintendo.
De beste man noemde de Nintendo Switch in zijn reactie als een soort ‘dream machine’ door de vele nieuwe mogelijkheden die het apparaat biedt. Ook het feit dat de Switch zowel als console als handheld kan functioneren spreekt Tabata enorm aan. Ondanks zijn lovende woorden heeft de beste man vooralsnog geen games in ontwikkeling voor de Nintendo Switch. Hij benadrukte echter dat hij hier wel veel interesse in heeft en dat ook anderen binnen zijn team veel interesse hebben in Nintendo’s nieuwste console. Zijn reactie met mening over de Switch lees je hieronder volledig:
“Given my track record… I’ve worked on handheld titles, but I’ve also worked on console games. So the fact that Switch is both at the same time is really fascinating to me. I’m really interested in coming up with ideas and how to capitalize on that technology and how to create the best experience possible on the technology. But I’m not quite sure that I have it yet.
“You have your Switch sitting in front of the television and you’re playing on the big screen and then you take it out, put it down on the table. It becomes a monitor. You take out the two Joy-Cons, and you play with a friend … it doesn’t stop there, because in my mind, it would be really perfect if you could then take this new monitor and use it like a tablet, for example, and play different apps on it like you would on your iPhone or your Android. So basically, it’s accomplishing three tasks in one machine. It’s kind of like the dream machine.”
“While I may not be working on anything for it at this point in time, a lot of people on the staff are really interested in the Switch. Myself included! Many of the people on the dev team are older; they’re married; they have kids. One of the things they’d like to do is create something they could also play with their children, or that their children could play on their own, for example.”
