© Nintendo LifeThe coronavirus pandemic has had a fairly significant impact on Nintendo’s ability to produce and distribute Switch systems. The company admitted for the first time that production had been affected in January, and after months of supply problems, it was not until earlier this week that we learned that the situation was “back to normal.”
Now, Nintendo has provided an update on where things are with regards to game development. The news comes from Nintendo’s 80th General Meeting of Shareholders, which was translated and interpreted by Robert Sephazon, a contributor to Nintendo Life:
“Chief Executive Officer and Chief Executive Officer Shinya Takahashi says Nintendo has faced development delays due to COVID-19, but that it won’t affect upcoming releases. In the future, if the pandemic continues, there could be delays in development and future releases. “
As you can see, the upcoming games have not been affected, so there is no need to worry about titles like Paper Mario: The Origami King coming to Switch next month, but we might start to see delays later if the virus continues to spread.
