PS5, Xbox Scarlett & Nintendo Switch: 9 Things We Need To See
6. Nintendo - Connecting With Third Party Studios
The Switch's crazy features have opened up a ton of doors for video game developers. The portability means that audiences want to see all their favourite blockbuster titles on their handheld device, the ability to be able to play whilst on the go becoming the Switch's biggest draw. It's an innovation that has absolutely torn up the gaming industry over the last two years, but how successful the technology will be comes down to how friendly Nintendo are willing to be with their third-party colleasgues..
Recent deals with Bethesda have started to bolster the Switch's line-up with fantastic games and it's these kinds of partnerships that Nintendo needs to be pursuing if they want to get the most out of the Switch's unique features. Playing big releases like FIFA, Assassin's Creed or Call Of Duty immediately on the Switch could give Nintendo a massive edge, both with casual and hardcore players alike.
Obviously, the Switch's priority should be its large roster of exclusives, but integrating into the wider world of gaming and providing a unique way to play the biggest releases is a sure fire way for the Switch to expand its audience. If Nintendo wants to challenge the technical innovations of its much meatier competitors, using the strengths of its portability is the best weapon in its arsenal.
