Nintendo Co. has acquired Miami-based Shiver Entertainment to help bring more games from outside developers to its next-generation Switch platform.
The 11-year-old studio focuses on adapting video games developed for one platform to others, called porting, and did so successfully with Hogwarts Legacy and Mortal Kombat 1 for the current Switch console. Nintendo “aims to secure high-level resources for porting and developing software titles,” the Kyoto-based company said in a statement Tuesday.
