Take-Two Interactive Will Continue Bringing Games to Nintendo Consoles – CEO
During the recent Take-Two Interactive earnings call, CEO Strauss Zelnick spoke about the Nintendo Switch 2, and the publishing company’s relationship with Nintendo. When asked by analyst Cory Carpenter about how Take-Two would be expanding its relationship with Nintendo going forward, Zelnick responded by noting that, since the Switch, Nintendo consoles aren’t just looked at as being geared towards younger audiences.
“Look, we’ve had obviously a long-standing relationship with Nintendo,” responded Zelnick. “And we’ve supported the platform when it made sense for the individual release. There was a time when Nintendo platforms are really geared at younger audiences, and that was reflected in our release schedule.”
Zelnick went on to talk about some of Take-Two’s own titles coming to Nintendo consoles, especially noting the recently-released Civilization 7 as one of the big examples. He stated that Take-Two will continue to release its titles on Nintendo’s platforms. He also pointed out the yearly releases of games in the NBA 2K franchise also being released on the Switch.
“And that — now today with Switch and potentially with Switch 2, the Switch device can support any audience,” said Zelnick. “And as you note — as you may have noted, Civ VII is available now on Switch. So, while we have nothing specific to report, we actually would fully expect to support Switch. And Karl is going to comment on your question regarding which elements of NBA 2K really have excited the consumers this time around.”
