Former Nintendo employees Kit and Krysta have spoken about Nintendo sitting on some of its releases until the company believes the time is right to release them. We know from some ratings of Nintendo games in the past that the development seemingly wrapped up a year ago and that Nintendo decided to hold back the game’s release until now. While Kit and Krysta agree that it’s a thing that the Kyoto-based company does, they are not too sure if it’s still being done with Nintendo Switch 2 games, which have longer development times and have more costly development budgets.
“That totally happened though in the past where a lot of these things they just sock away in the Nintendo vault. Like a lot of these remakes, those ports, those are just like done real fast and they’ll just sock them away and then whenever there’s a gap in the calendar, they’ll just release one of those ports.
And that’s how they kept the Switch life cycle so long, is because they just didn’t really have any lulls because they were able to be so quick and kind of have a batch of stuff ready to go and they would just find the right time strategically to release it.”
“I don’t know how they’re doing these days. I feel like they themselves have had a bit of a shock when it comes to development on a Switch 2 and the time it’s taking… So now I do wonder, like they may have burned through everything they had in that vault at this point and now they’re probably as you know, not struggling, but as pressurized as like a PlayStation to get the next game out and make sure it’s developed at the scale that it needs to be for a Switch 2. I feel like they’re in a different kind of world now.”
“There’s a couple that are just always swirling as games that people have convinced themselves need to come out. But they may just be holding onto it still. They may be holding on to it.”
