Switch 2 coming this year according to Bloomberg. 8 inch LCD Screen

Day one.

Expecting Preorders to go live sometime in the summer, come out September.

I plan on getting it from Best Buy. Yes, I buy all my games at Gamestop but I hate their bundling practices for consoles so I tend to get hardware from Best Buy. Got my Quest 3 and my Rog Ally from there.

Metroid Prime 4 is 100% gonna be a launch title.

We will see probably mk9 and metroid. They've been dikking around with Metroid since launch. It's about to be detox status.

Even though Nintendo be Nintendoing I cannot IMAGINE them going into 2024 expecting to sell a full priced Switch 2 without an OLED screen. I’m calling bullshyt on this report

 

[kdslittlebro]

I’ll see how i feel when they reveal what the launch titles are. Theres no breath of the wild to immediately look me this time around

Without BOTW I probably would have waited until Odyssey. The next 3D Mario is probably what I imagine gets me the next Switch, with no Zelda on the horizon

People have already decided this is gonna be a great success, but i don’t think so.

Nintendo consoles tend to go up and down.

Switch was held up by Wii U games at launch.

Unless they got some bangers hidden away somewhere ready for this year, i don’t see people upgrading to switch 2 just to play the same games they already have on switch.

In handhelds, Nintendo got it on lock. Look at the Game Boy to Game Boy Color to Game Boy Advance. Like DS going into the 3DS.

But they still always have some new unique software or hardware feature to sell people on upgrading.

Most nintendo fans aren’t the type to care much about graphics or performance, and it doesn’t seem the switch 2 is gonna be adding anything other than upgraded hardware.

I just don’t see how nintendo convinces their core customers to run out and spend $4-500 on new hardware just for upgraded specs

if it's BC, they will.

like @Wild self said, look at GB > GBA...that's basically graphics/performance upgrades.

the gimmick thing didnt really take off until the DS, and even the the first lifecycle of the DS included a GBA port as a fall back in case the DS crashed and burned.

GB to GBA was a huge leap, and they had a bunch of software ready to go that could not run on GB.

I don’t think switch 2 will flop or anything, i just see people have already made up their mind it will match or top the switch success and i don’t think it will.

Time will tell

GBA's launch was abysmal. I should know, I bought one at launch.

Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2 (Midway)
ChuChu Rocket! (Sega)
Rayman (Ubi Soft)


Mario Advance was just mario 2 all-stars. only game i had for a while, until the good stuff started to drop...but my previous library of GB/C titles held it down, since they were BC. I didn't really care/like the other launch titles.


no comment on if it'll match/do better than the switch's success...but my main point was, if it's BC, early adopters (and a good amount of core) will cop if it has BC, and no real new gimmicks attached.

besides, gimmicks can backfire, look at the wii-u.

 

[-DMP-]

honestly I thought I was gonna cop and leave unopened to jailbreak later

But I don’t even know if it’s worth that.

 

[Methodical]

I probably will cop it since I don't have a Switch

 

[Methodical]

Nintendo gonna sell the OLED version in 2 years smh

Don't they already have a Nintendo Switch Oled?

 

[Deltron]

Don't they already have a Nintendo Switch Oled?

yeah.

but nintendo like apple

they'll add shyt they should've already had to begin with, to resell it to their fanbase

 

[gho3st]

Nintendo fleecing the casuals something serious lol
