Hideo Kojima recently revealed that the upcoming Nintendo Switch may be an extension of a concept he created in 2011. Kojima also believed that the hybrid console may be crucial in the future where gamers would be able to play their games on any device. In addition, Kojima also spoke about the future of gaming and the creation of a new type of entertainment.

In a recent interview, Kojima talked about the "Transfarring" concept he previously created for a game in 2011. Kojima was then able to allow gamers to save data on the PS Vita and move it over to the PS3 and vice versa. The game designer further noted that the upcoming console may be an evolution of that idea since the hybrid console is expected to allow users to play their games back and forth on the home console and handheld device.

It should be noted that the term "Transfarring" refers to the words transferring and sharing combined. "Metal Gear Solid" maker Kojima noted that movies and TV are already moving in this way. Additionally, he shared his thoughts on cloud technology would be the case eventually noting that soon, gamers would be able to play on any device, anywhere, Digital Trends reported.

Meanwhile, Kojima also gave his two cents on the matter of games novels and films. Kojima revealed that both of these entertainment types may merge as one in the future. Moreover, the Kojima Productions are said to be preparing for the future of gaming that would give people a new kind of experience.

Kojima also revealed that he now has more freedom to make final decisions after he stopped working for Konami Productions back in 2005 and started his own company. It has also been noted that since the company has not been listed on the stock exchange, he would not have to worry about investors. Interestingly, the Kojima Productions may simply concentrate on making good games, IGN reported.
