As expected, many things have been said about the Nintendo Switch 2, since it was properly introduced with the release date and the prices controversial earlier this month. Now, the former reproduction executive, Shuhei Yoshida, has had his opinion on the new console, and believes that it could be a sign that Ninty loses his historical identity.
Hey, regardless of whether you agree or you think this is a good or bad thing, at least it is no more news that makes you clutch your wallet a little stronger or you allow a rare smile in something shameless that has made a CEO type that earns more money in a year than most of us probably in 10.

Anyway, Yoshida’s comments on Switch 2 and what could mean for Mario Company’s soul occurred during an interview with easy allies, during which Yoshida was asked for his thoughts about the Big April Direct.
“For me it was a bit [of a] Mixed message from Nintendo, “he replied,” in a sense, I think Nintendo is losing [its] Identity, in my opinion. For me it is always about creating a new experience, designing hardware and games together to create [some] Incredible new experience.
“But Switch 2, as we all anticipate, is a better switch, right? It is a larger screen, a more powerful processor, a higher resolution, 4k 120 fps. They even had a hardware person who started the transmission, as other platforms do, right?
Of course, it is a more powerful switch, “he added,” so it’s great if your game was only in Nintendo hardware, [and] It is the first time you can play incredible games like Elden Ring, but for us, the ‘central’ players who have multiple [types of] Hardware and Games in PlayStation, Xbox, PC, the games that showed, especially third parties, in theory, it is surprising to have all these stars of the industry games in Nintendo hardware, however, what they showed was like … ‘ooh’.
Therefore, it seems that Yoshida was not so impressed by the things that he could classify as innovative about Switch 2, such as that functionality of the Mouse Joy-Conon and the C button that allows him to shout his teammates through Gamechat.
