Meanwhile, Nagoshi previously admitted that whilst the Nintendo Switch is designed for a range of age groups, the company mainly designed their consoles for children and teenagers.
In a recent video by Sega Europe to celebrate the esteemed company’s 60th anniversary, he said: “I think even now the Nintendo platform is still a game console that is played by a wide range of age groups, but basically, I think it’s hardware for kids and teens. Amid all that, at that time, Nintendo was also putting a lot of effort into the kids market, and I thought it would suit.”
