I keep refreshing Google Podcasts but it hasn't shown up yet :(
Ahhhhh okay thanks for clarifying, in that case let us pray to the Chozo
Ah, I see where you are coming from. My guess is the target audience should be different enough for that not to be an issue, but we'll see when they decide to drop their respective previews.
Enjoy SR!
That's what we are curious about in the hardware thread, we theorize that it could be future proofing for the next model possibly a sku without a dock and just the similar packaging to how the Lite came: console(with joycons) and adapter
that form being the cheaper one
and another where it is a full upgrade for those that didn't get the OLED model that is more expensive. so similar packaging to the OLED, V1 and V2 switch with console, dock and adapter with the extra accessories.
I feel like anytime we're talking patterns or whatever, anything in 2020 has to have giant asterisks next to everything.
I mean, the SBC thing didn't need to be data mined; it was on Nintendo's website.
Not sure what you mean by "outside of it being limited to use with the OLED" -- both the old and new dock are compatible with the old and new models. The firmware update is for the LAN hardware.
I don't understand what this means. Isn't that the twitch frog or something?
Somewhere Dark Cloud is sitting back, watching the Nintendo Direct and the Xenoblade 3 trailer over and over again while we continue to wait.
-we aren't expecting a direct announcement today
-a direct announcement will happen when we least expect it
-therefore, a direct will be announced today

I still think it's highly likely we'll be getting some kind of direct in September, but I think this thread needs to accept it's not going to be a "big one". Even if it's not explicitly labeled something like Mini or Partner, I think the biggest thing you can expect to see is MAYBE the next Kirby game announcement and the last Smash character trailer (then a bunch of third party stuff). XB3 is likely such a huge project that it was significantly impacted by the pandemic and Nintendo might choose to wait to announce it until 2022 when it's closer to being done.
If I'm understanding correctly from what I'm reading, it is hardware agnostic, but like hologram says below it seems AAC isn't much more of an improvement at the end of the day, so it might end up being a non-starter 😋
I guess if Nintendo has no interest in licensing from Qualcomm or Sony, then they really can't. I suppose there are valid reasons for wanting to take the cheapest, most available option, and that is Nintendo's modus operandi, but fuck, I wish they would spring for something a little better in their hardware here and there. Maybe audio isn't the place when joycons are still drifting, but still.
Huh, of course I miss lurking the hardware thread for a day or so, but I like that theory of a new full Switch that can be sold without a dock. I do want to get the new dock regardless especially if it does have the updated HDMI port, so it wouldn't affect me much anyway if I split up the cost of getting a new revision console.
As an aside I hope they take that same approach with RFA2 and sell the game digitally without the controllers because that is a serious drawback with the original game.
I was low-key counting on this, but now you've jinxed it by verbalizing it
Now that you've said this, Nintendo is probably going to push it back by a week
But now I don't expect one because we expect one because we don't expect it.
Honestly my entire post is just poor wording on my part; I just woke up lol ("I can quit Era anytime I want!", he said, jonesing for his phone immediately)
Datamine was an incorrect word, you're right. After reviewing the tweet Oatmeal said nothing of datamine and I just assumed, so I guess there's no hidden features uncovered just yet.
And same with the dock, I meant OLED as a shorthand for the LAN dock.
Breakfast, coffee, shower, and I'll be back in an hour-ish, folks
Did something new leak recently regarding the Dane Switch?
No, the September Direct on the other hand is looking less real by the hour.
IIRC he said he hadn't heard of any delay either. We're just impatient and the patterns don't add up for all that means.
Nintendo could do one after TGS, could do one on Friday who knows. I myself have been too hung up on patterns I must admit.
This is the news I'm looking forward to the most besides seeing who Fighter 11 is, so I'd be pretty happy if we just got a tweet confirming Gameboy for NSO.
Nintendo should just tweet out the final character trailer too, while they're at it.
Dark Cloud is usually the sacrifice we offer to Nintendo in exchange for a Nintendo Direct.
No September Direct would suck for a variety of reasons but the biggest one (at least for me) would be third parties missing out on some good publicity. As has been mentioned before, the September Direct is usually rather light on first party content and even though it's not preferable, whatever they still have to announce and show in the coming months can be done via standalone trailers. Third party games, especially smaller ones, benefit hugely from the Directs, however.
If it's after TGS it's not a September Direct. Which of course is possible!
It's not up yet, but it's called Nate the Hate on Spotify and Youtube. I'll link the Youtube when it goes live.
Yeah, I think we'll be stuck with SBC for the time being. Supports everything, doesn't need additional hardware or licensing, thus relatively cheap -> Perfect 4
