Back in 2017, Nintendo felt the gap between their users as they had to sit in one place to play their favorite games. So, to reduce this gap and improve customer relationships, the franchise launched its first-ever handheld console, the Nintendo Switch.

It was a game-changing device in the gaming industry as fans could game despite being in any corner of the world. This heavily benefitted the franchise as it churned massive revenue from its sales.

Apart from that, the franchise also started focusing on adding more and more Switch titles, giving fans the exclusivity of their purchase. And now, they’ve added another title to their library, gifting fans an Apple arcade marvel.
