I really don't think the Switch 2 is going to be, like, a Q1 2023 product.
If you think they're planning on pushing BotW2 to 2023 to launch alongside new hardware, why would they put "2022" in the trailer and tell the public (including their shareholders) they're intending for it to be a 2022 title? What benefit does that serve them? They could have just ran the trailer without the date. They're trying to sell a different Zelda game this summer, so it's probably for their benefit for everyone to think that BotW2 is further away, actually.
I like how you try to act like there's a pattern of Nintendo delaying Zelda games onto new hardware while ignoring that the two times they did this, it was because the Zelda title was a late-stage release on a failed console. Is the Switch performing like a Gamecube or Wii U? They didn't push Skyward Sword off onto the Wii U because they didn't need to.
The insiders reported that a switch pro was coming. The switch OLED is not that. They were wrong and saying that is not shitting on anybody.
Yeah, it definitely looks improved, though hard to tell for sure.Looks like Pokemon BDSP got a bit of a facelift - new lighting? Looks much better :)
yeah those are nice upgrades as well even though i have 512gb sd card and can just archive games i dont play anymore. Was just hoping for something with a lil more oomph
Not yet, but I think they're gonna phase it out sometime next year.
Y'all are gonna sh*t your pants when they announce the DLSS revision tomorrow
And also huzzah
Huzzah
And also huzzah
But acoustic Rosalina!
But a few posters on ReserEra are telling me Nintendo is out of touch. Who am I supposed to trust?
I've had 2024 pegged for "Switch 2 year" for some time. Just seems about right. 2022 seems like it's going to be pretty stacked, and then 2023 will sort of be a wind-down year with more core-focused games (Metroid Prime 4, a Fire Emblem and/or Monolith Soft game) and also a new Pokémon generation. And then 2024 will have the Switch 2 with a new Mario Kart, maybe a new Smash, etc.
Nay but mostly because we still don't actually know if a "Switch Pro" exists or not. I don't want to buy the OLED and then find next year the pro actually does exist and I just wasted my money buying the underpowered OLED.
It says the battery life is the same, but the battery itself is the same capacity, so I would imagine it would have slightly lower battery life.
Honestly, at this point i am expecting BotW2 to be delayed until 2023 (or even later) to be held as a launch game for Switch 2. I do not think we are getting a Switch Pro at all.
Trust me, I know, the 8k DLSS DSR HDR is coming tomorrow, and it's name is even going to be "Switch 8k DLSS DSR HDR"
I also think it's possible successor won't come out till around 2024 or 2025 and Nintendo does ride the Switch itself for longer like we projected. It does mean a longer wait till a proper upgrade and missing some of the 3rd party ports from AAA games we were hoping for which is shame. There's some big games I would love to play portably
For me, nay. I don't use my switch in handheld enough to justify the purchase. But it looks like a decent new iteration. If we're buying one for the first time or had to replace my current one, I'd buy it.
I agree, there's no need to delay BOTW2 even further just to launch it together with a Switch 2/Pro, the Switch is a successful console. I think it's safe to say now that these two releases aren't related. Maybe they were before the pandemic, we'll never know...
You got your wish but with a less powerful hardware, I don't see that as a loss.
I really can't see them putting out a more expensive model just for them to release another one that has a singular difference a year after.
On hostility to insiders, Oled Switch
Official Staff Communication
We understand this announcement goes against some of the insider leaks. Being disappointed and upset with some of the those leaks and insider sources in general is fine, but direct call-outs / hostility towards any specific insiders will be met with moderation.
At least. Splatoon 3 is going to have a bare minimum of a full year of post launch support, and any further hardware will be well after that's done.
I guess Nintendo plans to release Switch 2 sooner than we thought. I am thinking March 2023 with Mario Kart 9 as launch title.
people who don't have a switch yet
not supporting their games for very long is a mistake in this changing market. at least for games like Splatoon. maybe Splatoon 3 would get a major update whenever the next switch does come out though
Well, the wish was that there to be massive hype around the new revision and, because Nintendo has basically no other software to really take advantage of it, Metroid would reap the benefits of this massive hype. It's cool that it's still getting pushed with this but it doesn't have the same level of appeal as a more powerful unit.
Still great to see though.
Just start reporting them. They're in herewhining about insiders being wrong and how they know everything
Yay for me. Screen looks nice.
I know the answer is going to be nay for most people because it's not the rumored Switch Pro everyone claimed.
People who don't own a switch yet and might want to pick one up this holiday, people who own one since day one and might want to give the OLED model a go because of increased battery life/faulty joycons/money to burn . It's a mid-gen refresh to keep interest up and releases just in time for Metroid and Pokémon.
We're not allowed to express disappointment and point out how they were wrong? Like the staff post said, it's fine as long as we aren't calling out or harassing specific ones.
Splatoon 2 only lasted just shy of 2 years & Smash Ultimate is about to close up shop in a few months. I doubt Nintendo cares all that much.
Yeah man, it's Nintendo. They're going to ride this success out as long as they can. They haven't slowed down yet.
I was only holding out so I wouldn't have to buy another new system. Now I can buy the lite comfortably.
That's the least surpising part. Native 720p is fine for a screen that size, and helps tremendously with battery life.
The disappointment stems from the fact that a significant number of Switch games aren't even 720p, with some titles like HW: AoC and Xenoblade 2 falling below 480p at times. Not having a power boost means that games are only going to look worse resolution-wise instead of having the chance to look better.
