Jen-Hsun Huang personally took the stage! Sharing the behind-the-scenes story of NVIDIA's collaboration with Nintendo Switch.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang recently appeared in the Nintendo Creator's Voice special edition video to promote the Nintendo Switch 2 platform. He shared the story of Huida and Nintendo working together to create the Nintendo Switch and walking together for more than a decade. Huang said NVIDIA and Nintendo are allied by their shared pursuit of the idea of technological innovation. In particular, he recalls former Nintendo president Satoru Iwata telling him that he wanted to develop a powerful game console that he could take with him. This seemingly impossible challenge at the time eventually led to the original Nintendo Switch, which has sold more than 150 million units worldwide.

Huang said in the film that the NVIDIA team, from the chip architecture to the operating system to the game engine, was specially tailored for Nintendo, propelling the Switch to become a miracle product with global sales of more than 150 million units. The upcoming Switch 2 not only continues Satoshi Iwata's dream, but also makes a radical breakthrough in technology, and the chip design of the Switch 2 upgrades three technologies: including the most advanced graphics processing technology (light and shadow tracking and high dynamic range), a dedicated AI processor (real-time enhancement of game graphics and animations), and an extremely low-power mobile device chip, allowing players to enjoy a high-quality gaming experience at home or outdoors.

Jen-Hsun Huang stated that the new chip processing brings a comprehensive technical upgrade for Switch 2. Switch 2 is not just a new gaming console, but it also embodies Mr. Satoshi Iwata's dream. At the end of the video, Jen-Hsun Huang congratulated the Nintendo team and emphasized that NVIDIA will continue to work hand in hand with Nintendo to jointly create the future of gaming, allowing every player around the world to fully enjoy the fun of gaming.
