Executives from Nintendo and Nvidia celebrate the realization of late President Satoru Iwata's vision with the Switch 2, expressing their joy at his dream's complete manifestation, stating, "What a marvel to witness Mr. Iwata's vision circles back fully."
Laying the Groundwork for Nintendo's Future
The highly-anticipated Switch 2 is set to drop in just a few days, and it's poised to be the crowning achievement of the late Nintendo president, Satoru Iwata's dream for the company's hardware. The bigwigs at Nintendo of America and Nvidia have both taken to the airwaves to pay their respects to Iwata's vision in the lead-up to the console's big debut.
Jensen Huang, Nvidia's CEO, recalls the day Iwata shared his visionary idea – a console that offers cinema-quality games, despite its pocket-sized silhouette. Huang admits it seemed impossible, but that dream became a reality with the original Nintendo Switch.
Iwata may have left us in 2015 before the Switch ever hit the shelves, but he was instrumental in the early stages of development. Huang credits Iwata for providing the team at Nvidia with a sense of 'clarity' and 'purpose' that they carry with them every day.
According to Huang, the chip driving the Switch 2 is nothing short of a "technical marvel." It delivers power, intelligence, and beauty right in the palm of your hand. Huang describes Switch 2 as more than just a new console; it's a new chapter worthy of Iwata's vision.
Over the years, Nintendo has been hesitant to embrace tech jargon when promoting their consoles. But with the Switch 2, things have changed. The world has gotten wind of 120fps display modes, 4K visuals, and DLSS upscaling, and it's clear that the Switch 2 could handle big cinematic games – an aspect that wasn't always the case with the original Switch.
Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser chimed in on Twitter, expressing his admiration for Iwata's legacy. "It's fantastic to see Mr. Iwata's vision come full circle," Bowser said, adding his gratitude to Huang and the Nvidia team for guiding the industry into this next chapter with the #NintendoSwitch2.
