Kojima Comments on Nintendo's Switch

In the same convention, Kojima has shared his views regarding Nintendo's upcoming hybrid gaming system, Switch. Kojima stated that he believes the Switch is an upgraded version of "Transfarring." Kojima references Switch's portability as a gaming system where players can detach a console to continue playing a game while on the go.

"Transfarring" is a feature that allows people to share the screenshots of Konami games between different consoles, Kotaku notes. The concept was first revealed in 2011 when Kojima still worked for Konami and it was hoped to be a new way of gaming.

Unfortunately, "Transfarring" was overshadowed by Sony's Cross-Buy and Cross-Save services and more recently, Remote Play. The feature allows gamers to play games on their PlayStation console and on their handhelds via Sony's family cloud environment.
