Streaming is being promoted by companies such as Google as the next big thing<\/em> within the video game industry. The search-engine giant wants to make high-end gaming accessible across multiple devices and remove the current technical barriers and limitations in place with its new Stadia platform.<\/p>\n

So, what does Nintendo think about this push to make streaming the norm within the video game industry? In an article published on Fortune<\/a> yesterday, following an interview conducted at E3 2019, Nintendo of America President Doug Bowser said it’s something the video game giant is closely watching:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe Switch delivers on a lot of the promises [of streaming]. It\u2019s a device where you can play anywhere, at any time, with anyone. It\u2019s obviously something that we\u2019re closely watching, and looking at, and understanding.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As Doug notes, the Switch is a promising device when considering its portable design. Obviously, the system has already played host to a number of streaming experiments in Japan. These include cloud versions of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey<\/strong><\/a>, Resident Evil 7<\/strong><\/a> and Phantasy Star Online 2<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In a separate interview with TIME<\/a> during the week of E3 2019, Nintendo of America’s president provided a similar response to the one above, saying how the company was “looking” at streaming, but was currently more focused on providing seamless game experiences:<\/p>\n

\n

We\u2019re looking at those technologies and understanding their capabilities and how they may contribute to the gameplay experiences we desire with our IP and characters and environments.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

However, we also believe that at this point in time Nintendo Switch also offers a very compelling and unique gameplay experience. It\u2019s a very unique platform in that you can play it at home on your TV, and instantaneously pull it out of the dock and go to a portable mode, whether that\u2019s a tabletop mode or a handheld mode, and continue playing that game seamlessly wherever you go.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
