Patent US20250350898 seems to confirm that Switch 2’s 3D spatial sound is a home-grown solution by NoA, not a licensed product.

Konami 2002 (imgs 1-2) patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/de...

But somehow, it only seems to make the news when Nintendo files a patent or requests a removal.

[New lore?] Before creating Pokémon Red and Green, Tajiri jokingly said to Miyamoto:
“To surpass Nintendo’s Mario, we’d have to sell two copies of [same] game to each customer.”
I’m sure that it was just a joke. Let’s be normal.

Nintendo explained why they updated Animal Crossing.
Furukawa: With dev costs and time increasing, it’s harder to maintain the pace of new releases. Since NS2 is BC, we’d recommend NS1 games to first-time buyers. Balancing new releases and evergreens engagement will sustain NS2’s momentum.

Since last quarterly report showed the first ever drop of APU post Switch launch (from 129M to 128M), it reasons that the number probably declined further and Nintendo chose not to publicize it.
