Death Stranding creator Hideo Kojima has called the Nintendo Switch “the gamer’s dream.”
“You might be familiar with the fact that for a previous game that I did, we had a specification that we called ‘Transfarring’ where you could take the saved data from the PS Vita and move it over to the PS3 and back and forth like that,” Kojima told IGN. “I believe [the Nintendo Switch] is an extension of that idea. The fact you can play something at home and take it outside, this is the gamer’s dream. The Switch is an evolution of that.”
Kojima, recently in Sydney, Australia for RTX Sydney, praised the console’s portability, likening it to that of digital copies of movies that come bundled with physical discs.
“When you buy a Blu-Ray disc, it’ll have a code on the inside for a digital version, so in the same respect you can watch it at home and then take it on the go on your tablet and smartphone,” he said. “This is how movies and TV are moving, and this is how games should go.”
The Nintendo Switch heads to stores on 3 March.
