According to Nintendo 's 79th general shareholders' meeting on May 5, the number of subscribers to Nintendo' s switch online has exceeded 10 million. The service is a paid service provided by Nintendo, which provides cloud storage, network play, and dedicated games. Nintendo launched the service in September last year. Earlier, Nintendo said in April that its services had 9.8 million subscribers.

In an open inquiry response, Nintendo Furukawa, CEO of Nintendo Switch Online, said, "The Nintendo Wii is inexpensive, but the service content is still weak." "We will make the service more attractive to users with various services besides" Tetris 99 " I replied.

"Nintendo offers a developer friendly environment and is used by many indie game developers, so we can expect a lot of games in the future," said Furukawa.

Furukawa commented on the cloud gaming market prospects: "Not all games will become cloud games at the moment, but the technology has certainly evolved." Cloud gaming can increase the global game population, "He said.

When Nintendo was pointed out that it was behind the VR game market, Shigeru Miyamoto said, "Our VR technology did not lag behind." "Let's objectively look at whether users can have fun and use them at reasonable cost." I replied. "While we may not be aware, VR technology may seem to be lagging behind until the product launch, but Nintendo makes VR products easy to use for all generations," he added.

"Nintendo is also paying attention to 5G," said Koshio, director of 5G mobile communications technology. "But I am thinking about what services can be provided to users through technology rather than simply following the technology."

About Nintendo's entry into China, Furukawa said, "We are still working with Tencent, but we have not yet decided on the launch date of Nintendo's switch in China."

At the general shareholders' meeting, there was no confirmation of the new device. However, Furukawa said, "Nintendo is always developing new devices and software, and I will announce it as soon as it is ready."
