Nintendo Acquires Shiver Entertainment to Bolster Switch and Future Console Ports

The purchase of the porting specialist aims to enhance Nintendo's third-party game offerings for both current and upcoming platforms.

Shiver Entertainment, known for porting AAA titles to the Switch, becomes a wholly-owned Nintendo subsidiary.
The acquisition is part of Nintendo's strategy to secure resources for developing and porting high-quality software.
Shiver will continue its focus on porting games for multiple platforms, including the anticipated Switch successor.
This move reflects Nintendo's rare but strategic approach to studio acquisitions.
The financial impact on Nintendo's fiscal year is expected to be minor.
