As the Wii U had struggled to gain external support, leaving it with a weak software library, Nintendo preemptively sought the support of many third-party developers and publishers to help build out the Switch’s game library alongside Nintendo’s own first-party titles, including many independent video game studios. Nintendo opted to use more standard electronic components, such as a chipset based on Nvidia’s Tegra line, to make development for the console easier for programmers and more compatible with existing game engines. The Nintendo Switch’s design is aimed at a wide demographic of video game players through the multiple modes of use. Nintendo’s then-president Satoru Iwata pushed the company towards mobile gaming and novel hardware. The concept of the Switch came about as Nintendo’s reaction to several quarters of financial losses into 2014, attributed to poor sales of its previous console, the Wii U, and market competition from mobile gaming.
