Loot Boxes and Pay Mechanics have become quite popular in recent years.
In an interview with Forbes, Nintendo of America’s president Doug Bowser shares Nintendo’s stance on them and more:
“Well, I’d step back and say first, pay mechanics have been part of gaming quite some time. They have the ability to bring fun, different and optional ways to play games and enjoy games. For us at Nintendo, we look at games and in-game mechanics differently. We have wide variety of options and we really determine those based on the type of games we’re building and the platform that we’re building on. Most important for us is that the game is always fun and engaging, and that’s critical. And so we’ll continue to review how people are playing games. If we need to, from a mobile perspective, make adaptations, we can. The underlying importance is that they’re fun and engaging.”
