Nintendo’s official website of Japan recently shared details of the development of the Switch’s news channel.  The author of the above stated article, Yuusuke Inoue, who also works in Engineering and Science at Nintendo, shared that even with up to 4 or 5 people, the development process took almost 12 months.  The biggest issue was to keep up with the various feedback provided by all sorts of different audiences.  Inoue and his team wanted to tailor content for players in Japan, America and Europe differently so everybody would gain the most suitable content for their region.  Since so much hard work was put into it and it is a quite handy little feature, it sure should be showered with more love.

Do you use the news channel on your Nintendo console?  If you didn’t, would you use it now after learning about all this hard work which was put into it, or do you think that this feature got way more attention than it needed?  Let us hear your opinion in the comments below!
