Yeah, I agree with @Grumblevolcano on the penultimate point, I think there'll be quite a few PS3/360 ports.
Probably Advance Wars will get a release date and...
Some other stuff we can't even begin to guess will happen, there's always at least one surprise.
Currently playing: Metal Gear Solid
Back burner: Hollow Knight, Undertale
But technology doesn't consistently "march on". Refrigerators, violins, toilets, paper clips, nail clippers, and phoroptors are all similar or identical to how they were in 1950. Sometimes a good idea doesn't need to be continuously improved upon.
I think you seriously misunderstand what I'm about if this is your take. Yes there are some things that advances in technology don't really touch much or at all even within the gaming space. Stuff like speakers and buttons but even stuff like rumble, gyro and accelerometers. Then there's a second category of things that is changing rapidly but doesn't really impact. Like newer standards of WiFi, Multi-Gig Ethernet, the push for resolutions beyond 4K, Dolby Atmos etc. More broadly I'd also put things like wireless peripherals + Audio in this second category
....... but then there's a third category. Things where there is both a rapid advancement in technology in things that could have a significant impact. And I think you know full well that's the type of change I meant. OLED screens, HDR, VRR, "AI" acceleration. The pace at which flash storage has become cheaper per GB and per MB/s. The improvements in battery density and component power efficiency. We also happen to now be on the other side of the chip shortage where component manufacturers are crashing out the other side
Nintendo is in the business of selling games, games are a rendered product. They can only ignore the advancements in that space for so long. Eventually they will release a new hardware revision of some kind, whether that's an entirely new platform or something that exists "within Switch". It's just inevitable. To pretend it isn't is to ignore (gestures at the entire history of the industry)
