Nintendo Powercast - Nintendo Podcast

Nintendo’s new app Pictonico launches May 28, and it lets players turn their own photos into quick mini games that look similar to WarioWare.

On this episode, we talk about Pictonico, why small creative apps like this feel so Nintendo, and what Nintendo should be doing with phone apps going forward. From companion apps to party games, photo tools, Nintendo Account features, and mobile experiences that actually support Switch and Switch 2, there is a lot Nintendo could do without trying to turn every phone app into a traditional game.

Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa has apologized for the Switch 2 price increase, while also saying the new pricing does not fully cover all cost increases. At the same time, Nintendo says it is preparing a “robust software lineup” to strengthen the value of the system.

With Splatoon Raiders, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, Star Fox, and rumors of a Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, the Switch 2 lineup is starting to take shape. The real question is whether Nintendo has enough coming to keep momentum strong after the price increase.
