Archyde News: An Interview with Nacon CEO alain Falc
Archyde CEO: Today, we have the distinct pleasure of hosting Alain Falc, the CEO of Nacon, too discuss their recent financial results and the exciting insights they’ve provided about the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
Alain Falc (AF): Thank you for having me. I’m thrilled to share our thoughts on the Nintendo Switch 2 with your audience.
Archyde CEO: Let’s dive right in. Nacon is the first third-party publisher to set a release window for the Switch 2, with April to September 2025. What leads you to this prediction?
AF: A few factors contribute to our confidence in this launch window. firstly, Nintendo’s typical console release cycle has been around five to six years. The original Switch launched in March 2017, so we’re nearing the end of its lifespan.Secondly, Nintendo has been hinting at a new console for a while now, with subtle announcements and recent patent filings. Lastly, our conversations with industry insiders and Nintendo itself suggest that they’re ramping up for a new hardware release in the near future.
Archyde CEO: Intriguing. Now, Nacon is ready with a collection of games and accessories for the Switch 2’s launch. Can you give us any hints about what we might expect?
AF: We’re excited about the possibilities. Our recent hits like ‘Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown’, ‘GreedFall 2: The Dying World’, and ‘RoboCop: Rogue City’ are certainly contenders for Switch 2 ports. We’re also looking at our pipeline of upcoming titles and considering which would translate well to Nintendo’s hybrid console. And,of course,we’re open to supporting Nintendo’s first-party titles as well.
Archyde CEO: That’s an extraordinary lineup. Do you believe the Switch 2 will continue to foster third-party support as the original Switch did?
AF: Absolutely. The original Switch’s popularity and innovative design have proven that there’s a market for high-quality third-party games on Nintendo consoles. We’ve seen it with titles like ‘The Witcher 3’, ‘Doom Eternal’, and ‘Xenoblade Chronicles 2’. I expect the Switch 2 to follow suit, offering a diverse library of games that cater to various tastes.
Archyde CEO: Speaking of taste, we’ve heard whispers about some big-name titles like ‘Final Fantasy 7 Remake’, ‘Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’, ‘Assassin’s Creed Mirage’, and even a rumored ‘Metal Gear Solid Delta’ in development for the Switch 2. Any comments on that?
AF: (Laughs) I can’t comment on specific titles, of course, but I will say that the Switch 2’s hardware improvements and increased capabilities could make it an attractive platform for thes sorts of AAA experiences. We’re seeing a resurgence in third-party support for Nintendo consoles, and I expect that trend to continue.
Archyde CEO: Nintendo has an event scheduled for April,promising more information about the Switch 2. Are you as eager as the rest of us to see what they have in store?
AF: Extremely. We’re all aquatic with anticipation, so to speak. The gaming world is ripe with speculation, and Nintendo’s official reveal will undoubtedly set the stage for the console’s future and our support for it.
Archyde CEO: Alain, thank you for sharing your insights with us today. We, and the gaming community, are eagerly awaiting the Switch 2’s arrival.
AF: My pleasure. Here’s to the exciting future of gaming!
