## Summary

Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa says developing new ways to play remains a high management priority, rejecting an investor’s suggestion that Nintendo has not proposed ideas to rival the Wii Remote. He says the company aims to provide distinctive entertainment, with hardware and software development working together to create it.

Executives Shinya Takahashi and Ko Shiota said teams begin by finding an enjoyable way to play, then consider what hardware features could support it; using new features is not an end in itself. Shiota said only a few ideas survive repeated experimentation, but investing in that process is important. The discussion comes amid criticism that recent consoles, including the Switch 2, have not radically changed the formula since the Wii.
