Ubsioft CEO speaks out about Nintendo NX

23 September 2016

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot believes that Nintendo’s upcoming NX console will stand apart from Microsoft and Sony’s, reports IGN.

“I think, once again, the interface is very attractive,” he said.

“It’s a machine that will be easy to use for all gamers. They have built in something that will give us chance to really have a different experience from what exists today.”

“That’s what I like – that they come with something new that is adapted to what we actually want now.”

While Guillemot wasn’t clear on the console’s actual design he did say that Nintendo were once again bringing something new to the table.

“When they change machines, they consider that it’s better to try actually what has been done for that machine, so it gives us an opportunity to either totally change an IP that we have done before, or to create new experiences and new IPs.”

The Nintendo NX is expected to launch in March 2017.
