I think its really interesting to see the evolution of not only the consoles nintendo has released but how they seem to take the bits of each one, from the Wii to now, and funnled them into the switch, now hopefully its a situation of, smoothing out the rougher parts rather than trying to reinvent the wheel.

@chucknv548220 күн бұрын
It is pretty obvious this is coming out right about the same time the switch came out. Japan fiscal year rolls over April 1st. So they will release it in late feb or early march so that they get huge sales for this year, and they split some sales into next fiscal year.
@chucknv548220 күн бұрын
@ Good points. I’m still thinking no later than April for release. February is probably too early. I just think that they are not announcing it because they don’t want to cannibalize the switch/OLED holiday sales. They didn’t really have to worry about with the Wii U as it was barely selling units by the time switch was announced. They could announce it one week in advance and it would probably still sell out based on the success of the first and how many bought multiple units. I don’t put anything past Nintendo at this point. They mostly march to their own beat.

If a new game or two are coming out around then. I'll be upgrading from my DayOne Switch. It's getting a bit wheezy nowadays... poor thing. My top 3 games I want; If there is any assurance of a new Open World Zelda before launch (a teaser or something) then I'm getting one asap, Pokémon Legends: Z-A. We have seen nothing but a teaser and I am looking forward to those titles more than the "proper" games. Since they are actually changing up the formula in a way that keeps the franchise relevant to adults without it being boring as hell. I have been wanting a Nintendogs reboot since the 3ds dropped off the grid and it's so strange that they haven't tried with the switch. It has a Gyro for looking around the 3D space and you could have a companion app to take your pets on walks and such... or even just a Mobile App on it's own so you can play with the pets in AR.... it makes too much sense for them to have not experimented until now. (And I've seen "Little Friends Dogs + Cats and it sucks).

@MarioandLuigiplaygames1721 күн бұрын
Well, Nintendo has been pretty good when it comes to backward compatibility for most of their consoles! Switch is just one of the few consoles that doesn't have it, unfortunately. But I can't really blame it since how are you going to fit a disc in a handheld console? Personally, in my opinion, I think the Switch's first-party lineup more than makes up for it not having it. But, the Switch Successor having it for Switch one titles is a really awesome thing to have, nonetheless!
@fernandogodinez66121 күн бұрын
I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo releases an upgraded version of the first Switch after releasing the Switch 2, just to have another cheaper option for whoever thinks the Switch 2 is too pricey. Remember that Nintendo said they want multiple people in households to own their own Nintendo Switch. If they do, I'm guessing it'll probably be a Switch Lite in XL form, to save money on the dock and other stuff.
