Very smart and cheap acquisition by Nintendo. Not every third party will want to port games to Switch 2 but that becomes easier and cheaper if Nintendo is doing it for you or assisting with the porting.
Nintendo is acquiring Shiver Entertainment, Switch porting studio

- Start date
That movie has been stuck in development hell for ages now, at this point we will get a showcase before that movie ever comes out
This team had been under Saber. So far we have these guys going to Nintendo and Tuxedo Labs (the Teardown team) going to "Coffee Stain and Friends." So much for the remaining assets not being for sale, ehh Lars?
Anyways, everyone else is already calling them being used to port third party games to Switch 2 (and, indeed, they say in the PR that they remain open to deals to port anything anywhere) but might I offer another option? Downporting first party Nintendo titles from Switch 2 to Switch. They've already said that they aren't leaving Switch, with its massive install base, behind. I wouldn't be surprised if these guys stay locked in the Switch mines a little while longer.

Why fire them? Just let them make useful stuff, like porting PS3 games to PS5.
They could also be used for some "10 bucks" PS5 upgrades for PS4 games.
Right
Sony should get a PC port & Mobile port studios that can bring many PC & Mobile games to the PS platform & storefront.
Lethal Company, Ark, Valorant, Marvel Rivals (which I think will be time exclusive to PC before shortly releasing to console but I might be wrong) & many more PC games.
In the mobile front Subway Surfers, PUBG mobile, COD mobile, Free Fire, Clash of clan, Brawl Stars, MOCO & Squad Busters, League of legend rift, Monopoly GO, AFK Journey, Sim City build, TMNT & Sonic games, PVZ 2, 8 ball pool, Poker/Jackblack, Angry Bird & many more.
Hundreds if not thousand's of games that aren’t on the PS platform & storefront that can make these gamers experience these games on a better piece of hardware with a wider selection of games then other platform & storefront has

The endless profit & growth doesn’t comes from porting games to other platform that’s actually a limited profit & growth strategy
Nintendo understand, if its storefront offers more games then other platform & storefront it further makes Nintendo as the defacto platform & storefront in gaming.
If in the future Nintendo offers 5000 games but PlayStation offers 3000 which platform do you thing gamers & consumers will interact & spend the most money & time on. Easily Nintendo. It will be fun to watch Nintendo hardware power gap shrink in the future it’s already in its limit with PC, PS & Xbox Nintendo just has to play the long game while it shrinks & they’ll come out standing on top.
Nixxes should’ve been turn to a remake/remaster studio to bring PS games stuck in the PS3 to modern console bolstering the PS platform & PS storefront & later expanded to help 3rd party publisher on PC & Mobile to bring & port there games onto the PS platform & storefront like Nintendo is doing
Nintendo you cheeky bastard
Their tech is so far behind they need a specialized downgrade engineering team if they want to lure publishers into Switch or Switch 2. Let’s see how it works.
Since the moment they created backwards compatibility in PS2 and crossbuy in the PS3+PSP times, and also when started to emulate games from their previous generations and doesn't charge you again if you download the same emulated in other platform (with the exception of digital PS2 games, that in PS3 didn't have trophies and other features that in PS4/PS5 have).
Only PS is dumb enough to abandon there 4 generation strategy and copy 3rd place loser Xbox to there dooom. Nintendo won’t port games to PC because it makes no sense to put your best products on a rival Platform. Takes your self worth away
Big N DNA refers to their internal studio culture. Hence I stated their 2nd party devs Intelligent Systems, HAL, Gamefreak are not owned by them and they go for partnerships/outsource work.
