He acknowledged that for gamers exclusively on Nintendo platforms, the Switch 2 is a significant upgrade, allowing them to play previously unavailable titles like Elden Ring. However, for those who also game on other platforms, the excitement is less palpable.
Yoshida pointed out that the reveal event, one of the most-watched of the year, primarily showcased ports from past generations rather than new titles. He was particularly impressed with \\\"Enter the Gungeon 2,\\\" praising its announcement and potential. He also commended \\\"Drag x Drive\\\" for embodying the essence of Nintendo\\'s creative spirit.
Discussing the Switch 2\\'s pricing, Yoshida noted the differences between Japan and other markets but emphasized his disappointment with the overall reveal, as it didn\\'t meet the high expectations set by fans hoping for something more revolutionary.
Despite his reservations, Yoshida recognized the Switch 2 as a smart business move, likely crafted by talented designers. He acknowledged that while the system might play it safe in some areas, elements like mouse controls hint at Nintendo\\'s playful and innovative nature.
As for the Switch 2\\'s pricing in the U.S., details remain undisclosed. Nintendo has paused North American pre-orders due to new tariffs announced on the same day as the system\\'s reveal. With a global launch scheduled for June 5, the company faces a tight deadline to resolve these issues.

Former Sony Interactive Entertainment Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida recently shared his candid thoughts on the Nintendo Switch 2's reveal during an interview with Easy Allies. His reaction was notably reserved, suggesting a mixed message from Nintendo.
Yoshida expressed concerns that Nintendo might be losing its unique identity, known for creating innovative experiences through the synergy of hardware and game design. He noted that the Switch 2, while an improved version of the original, seemed to follow the industry trend of simply enhancing existing technology rather than introducing something entirely new. He highlighted features such as a larger screen, more powerful processor, higher resolution, 4K, and 120 fps, which align with what other platforms typically offer.
