 Nintendo has also benefited from the digital sale of video games

Confined gamers helped drive digital downloads to more than half of Switch game sales in the quarter ending June.



Nintendo's digital sales accounted for 55.6% of its total revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 21. This means that, for the first time in its history, the Japanese firm made more money through digital offerings than physical copies.

That trend is being tempered by the reopening of retailers, Furukawa said.

Both Sony and Microsoft (which on Tuesday announced the launch of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, a cloud gaming service for playing Xbox titles on Android devices), have targeted subscription services to extend the life of their consoles.

Furukawa reiterated Nintendo's commitment to hardware and software development. This month it will launch a collection of classic Super Mario titles featuring "Super Mario All-Stars 3D", and in October it will launch a "Mario Kart" toy that can be controlled by the Nintendo Switch.

 Nintendo has just presented Switch, its new console that mixes the characteristics of a desktop with a laptop in the same device. The Japanese company has presented this new machine through a video that shows its peculiar operation. The console, until now known by the code name "NX", is made up of a screen to which two independent controls can be attached to each side in case you want to play outdoors. Likewise, it also offers the possibility of being placed on a base to play on television and thus keep only the controls, officially known as Joy-Con. As the Eurogamer portal had announced this past summer, the console uses small cartridges, called GameCards, which are similar to those of the Nintendo 3DS laptop as support.

 Until Nintendo ramps up production and distribution again, finding a Switch for a reasonable price will be nearly impossible in territories like Europe and the United States. You can wait patiently, or you can do what this fan did, who claims to have built his own Switch for around $ 200 using spare parts and repair bought from China and online auctions. It sounds too good to be true, but we've seen successful attempts to build electronics like this at home in the past. The most famous was that of engineer Scotty Allen who lives in China and was able to find all the necessary parts, whether original or third-party replacements, to build a fully functional iPhone from scratch. The immense popularity of the iPhone made finding the necessary parts relatively easy (it wasn't that easy when you built an Android phone from scratch), so it's safe to assume that given the success of the Switch (and that more than one console has had problems with your joycons), there must be a gro...

The general reception among fans of the Nintendo Switch is quite good, it is not only one of the most important news of this month and perhaps of the year, but an invaluable opportunity that the big N has to recover an important sector of its market. The idea of ​​a hybrid console and of playing wherever you want the high-quality experiences that Nintendo has accustomed us to in the home console market is quite good and the overall concept of the platform is clear and extremely attractive. When I saw the Nintendo Switch announcement yesterday morning, I was one of those who exploded with excitement because laptops are perhaps my favorite platforms for my lifestyle; Having to travel a couple of times a week and not having a fixed residence makes the most practical thing for me to carry in my backpack what I need for my entertainment - perhaps that means you understand my enthusiasm for platforms like the PS Vita. In an age where mobile devices seem to be definitely killing handheld cons...
