Developers Are Making Games for a Nintendo 4K Console That Doesn’t Exist


Developers Are Making Games for a Nintendo 4K Console That Doesn’t Exist
At least 11 companies, including Zynga, have tools from Nintendo to make 4K Switch games.

Employees at 11 game companies said their teams were in possession of Nintendo's 4K development kit for the Switch. The companies span the globe, ranging from large publishers to small studios and include at least one that has never made a console game before, Zynga Inc., according to the employees, who asked not to be identified because they weren't authorized to discuss their projects publicly.

But a system capable of handling 4K games isn't expected to be released until late next year at the earliest, people familiar with the plans said. That leaves Nintendo at a technical disadvantage to rivals, whose shares have soared this year while Nintendo's have lost 20%. It also risks alienating developers who have spent months tailoring their games to take advantage of upgraded hardware capabilities.

Nintendo responded to a list of questions by saying Bloomberg's reporting is "inaccurate" and declined to specify which parts of the information it was referring to.

Whatever the Switch Pro is or was going to be, it has more than likely become the Switch 2 at this point.

Also, anyone feels like Bloomberg published this article out of spite for Nintendo not releasing the Pro this year and RIGHT before the OLED releases?

But it's gonna happen for real this time. That one guy on Twitter said so, he has a blue checkmark so he's legit.

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

It makes sense to me why they wouldn’t release it this year. Yall forget how often nintendo released DS iterations

 

[Kingshango]

This is pretty spot on
