We have more exciting news in the world of Pokemon today. This time it comes from a Wall Street Journal interview with Pokemon Company exec Tsunekazu Ishihara. Ishihara-san stated confidently that the Pokemon Company would be producing games for Nintendo’s upcoming gaming system, and even hinted (whether he meant to or not) that it would indeed be a hybrid device of some kind. “The NX is trying to change the concept of what it means to be a home console device or a hand-held device,” he said. “We will make games for the NX.”
Sounds pretty conclusive, doesn’t it? Nintendo and The Pokemon Company have very close ties, so I think it’s safe to say that The Pokemon Company have, and are using, NX SDKs. Saying that Nintendo is changing how we think of consoles and hand-helds pretty much seals the deal and confirms Eurogamer’s leak, which described the NX as a portable console with detachable controllers that might be playable on our televisions as well.
