Yakuza<\/strong> director and chief creative operator of Sega, Toshihiro Nagoshi, has apparently claimed that the popular hybrid handheld\/home Nintendo Switch console is for “kids and teens”.<\/p>\n

In an interview<\/a> that was conducted with the intention of celebrating Sega’s 60th anniversary, Toshihiro Nagoshi reportedly made some pretty inflammatory comments about one of the world’s most popular consoles.<\/p>\n

The comments came during a segment of the interview covering Nagoshi’s work on the 2001 puzzle game Super Monkey Ball.<\/p>\n

As per the official Sega translation, Nagoshi said: “I think even now the Nintendo platform is still a game console that is played by a wide range of age groups, but basically, I think it’s hardware for kids and teens. Amid all that, at that time, Nintendo was also putting a lot of effort into the kids market, and I thought it would suit.”<\/p>\n
