According to documents disclosed in September this year, Microsoft had planned to acquire Nintendo. Nintendo of America President Doug Bowser recently accepted an interview with the media and commented on the previously disclosed information, saying: “We have a good relationship with Microsoft.”

It was reported in September this year that an email released in August 2020 showed that Spencer believed that Nintendo’s board of directors was actively promoting the appreciation of the company’s stock at that time, and Microsoft was the most likely American company to cooperate.

Considering that Microsoft board member Valueact is also acquiring a large amount of Nintendo stock, Spencer believes this will create opportunities for both parties, and Microsoft’s board can fully support the acquisition of Nintendo (and Valve) should the opportunity arise.

In an interview today, Bowser responded to the previously disclosed acquisition plan, saying:

 We have a very good relationship with Microsoft and have deep cooperation in many aspects, and this has been reflected in Switch.

 Minecraft is now on Switch, we’re bringing the Banjo-Kazooie franchise to Super Smash Bros., and we look forward to this partnership continuing.

Microsoft signed a 10-year contract with Nintendo earlier this year in order to promote the acquisition of Blizzard. In the future, it hopes to introduce series of games such as “Call of Duty” to the Switch console.

According to gaming media VGC, Nintendo has sent Switch 2 development kits to major partners and plans to launch them in the second half of 2024.

It was reported in August this year that it was reported that Nintendo showed the next-generation Switch game console to some industry insiders at the Cologne Games Show held in August this year, and discussed with relevant personnel to determine the parts of this follow-up model.

In an interview with Inverse on Friday, Nintendo of America President Doug Bowser declined to comment on the above revelations, emphasizing that he would help existing players migrate to the next-generation Switch game console through the Nintendo Online Account System.

Doug Bowser said in the interview:

 Well, first of all, I cannot and will not comment on these revelations. One thing that is certain at present is that we will help users quickly migrate to the next generation of game consoles through the Nintendo Account system.

 In the past, every device we transitioned to had a completely new account system. Creating a Nintendo Account can help players migrate to a new platform, simplifying the process.

 Our goal is to reduce issues in the transition period between two generations of products. I can't speak to the possible features of the new platform, but the Nintendo Account is a solid foundation for this communication as we make the transition.

Nintendo announced its puzzle adventure game “Detective Pikachu Returns” on June 21 this year. The game was officially released today and landed on the Switch platform, supporting Simplified and Traditional Chinese. , priced at US$49.99 in the US (currently about RMB 365).

▲ “Detective Pikachu Returns” game cover

The game’s global media reviews have been lifted. The game currently has an average score of 69 on the M site, given by 45 media, and IGN and GameSpot both gave it a 6-point rating.

IGN 6 points

 The positioning of this game is vague. Although it has the IP of Pokémon, the puzzle-solving process is lengthy, and the visual effects and gameplay have almost no new ideas.

 The game itself is a family-oriented visual novel, so the game puzzles are relatively simple and more suitable for younger age groups; however, the game story theme is more depressing and dark, which seems to be more suitable for adults.

 The graphics of "Detective Pikachu: Lightning Returns" are also disappointing, looking more like a 3DS platform work, and the game lacks facial animation, with each character only having two expressions.

GameSpot 6 points

 This game is a good reasoning game suitable for people of lower ages. In the classic "adventure game style", most of the player's investigations focus on "finding clues from the scene".

 The game has interesting cutscenes and humorous narrative style, and the big star Detective Pikachu adds a lot of charm to the game, but the puzzles and design are too simple, reminiscent of "a test you encountered in elementary school", so the game It's hard to recommend it to anyone above teenagers.
