Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa has told investors at the latest question and answer session that both Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza are only possible due to the increased hardware power of the Nintendo Switch 2 and wouldn’t be possible on the current Nintendo Switch system. While Furukawa didn’t get into specifics it would likely be down to Mario Kart World’s large open world nature and Donkey Kong Bananza’s almost fully destructive environments.
“Higher hardware processing performance has become necessary for software developers to realize one of Nintendo’s most important goals: proposing new ways to play.”
“The Nintendo Switch 2 might not seem like much of a change on the outside. However, in reality, both the hardware and peripherals have been developed from scratch.”
