Nintendo Acquires Shiver Studio to Boost Switch 2 Game Library
Nintendo is acquiring Florida-based Shiver Entertainment from the Embracer Group to enhance its resources for porting and developing software titles for the Switch. Shiver, known for porting games like Scribblenauts and Hogwarts Legacy, will become a fully owned subsidiary. This move underscores Nintendo's commitment to the Switch platform and its strategy to secure high-level talent, including Shiver's CEO John Schappert. The financial impact of the acquisition on Nintendo is expected to be minor.
