NINTENDO SWITCH 2

Direct 2 april

Rumors says that it will come in mid-june, with 400 dollars



We hope a new gen thrusday

pretty much any of the top selling games (Zelda, Mario, Splatoon, etc.) in order to get people to buy the new console. Otherwise there's nothing to gain from the new console; all the good games are already on the switch 1, so no point in switch 2 other than hardware.

All people wan't mariokart9 and smashbros6

Really? The people on a Nintendo game's website only want Nintendo games on the next Nintendo console? What a travesty!

Like, you can see people's ages on their account, be so for real, of course most of them are only going to predict basic Nintendo games, they wouldn't be on this website if they weren't fans. I'd be more surprised if they've ever played non-Nintendo games.(and I'm not counting F2P like Fortnite or Marvel Overwatch)

Even then a couple people here have more interesting stuff like Roxas.

What we can note as important is that on switch 1 they released the ultimate versions of their games (mk8dx, smash bros ultimate, xenoblade...)

It's going to be really hard to do better then :
-Bringing forgotten licenses back to life (tomodachi, kid icarus, f zero)
-Making useless sequels by always wanting to do more but taking the risk of killing the series (mk9)

I meant pokemon, but I don't think they'll announce it or if they do it will be probably a teasing because Scarlet and Violet are only 3 yeard old and had dlc

I think they are going to put on a metroid 4.
maybe?

Fair enough. They might talk about it a bit cuz 30th anniversary is next year.

For Kingdom Hearts, already 4 will take even more time, then I was thinking for either a non-cloud re-release of 1.5, 2.5, 2.8 and the 3, or a total remake of Re:Coded and 358/2 Days

Here are my predictions for the first pile of games:

Mario Kart World

(New 3D Mario Game)

Super Mario Maker 3 - For 10th anniversary

Super Smash Superstars - Smash Bros. Game

Splatoon 4

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort

Mario Hoops 3 on 3 HD - For 20th-ish anniversary

Super Mario 64 HD - For 30th-ish anniversary

Super Mario Kart HD - Because of the Mario Kart game gap in the 2010s

(Mario Fighting Game)

coming soon in Mario Kart World on Nintendo Switch 2?

DROP THE PRICE

The prices are literally fine wdym

You definitely haven't looked at the price yet

ABSOLUTELY CRAZY

A console with a technical delay of at least 5 years


Games that cost 90


And you say it's fine ?

Admittedly the euro is pretty cooked right now

All consoles have 3-4 year old hardware at launch, it's just that Sony & Microsoft usually do hardware revisions at some point that include upgraded tech & make the original completely obsolete.

There's a bundle for World with the Switch 2 where it's price is $50, which is probably just to sell more Switch 2s at launch.

Sony has been doing $70 games for years & it's never been an issue(probably because they only make one game a decade tbf)

World is only 90 physical in EU, it's 80 digital in EU & $80 everywhere else, yeah that's still quite high but there is a bundle for it so you don't have to pay that price if you don't want to.

Anyone who was following the specs knew that $450 was literally the best case scenario for the price, most were expecting $500 off the rip.(It might just end up there in the US tbh)

PS5Pro's hardware was also a couple years dated at release, costed $700, had no hard drive, was a digital only upgrade

And people still bought it like crazy. Is that a bad thing? Yes! Absolutely! A lot of people will be filtered this generation because of prices. That's not good. But the console's price point is literally fine. The ick is the game price(& that's really only World & the Switch 2 Tour thing not being free, and the prices for buying the Switch 2 Editions instead of upgrading a Switch 1 version bc you have to rebuy the whole game again & then pay for the additional content)

Nothing's going to come of it though because Nintendo fans only play Mario & Zelda and don't buy that many games yearly. You're going to be doing a lot less experimenting this generation that's for sure. But the console price is literally not one of them.

You definitely weren't keeping up with the leaks
$450 was expected, and it's $500 for the World Bundle, which would cost you $530 total without the bundle, not any better.
PS5Pro was $700, and next gen will be $700 too. Better tech means higher prices. Just don't buy it or wait for the inevitable Lite.
