In a surprising move, Nintendo acquired Shiver Entertainment, known for porting Mortal Kombat 1 and Hogwarts Legacy to the Switch. This signals Nintendo's interest in third-party port specialists.
Nintendo's vast cash reserves were utilized for this acquisition. The company historically focuses on profit, avoiding excessive spending, making this move somewhat out of the ordinary.
Shiver's expertise in porting and developing software for multiple platforms, including the Switch, was highlighted as the key reason for the acquisition.
Nintendo typically avoids the trend of acquiring studios specializing in porting. This move steers away from the usual acquisition targets known for remasters.
