I think the MH Rise limited edition Switch is enough evidence there won't be a new Switch revision for awhile. Maybe there won't be one at all as Nintendo's comments in May 2020 suggests the Switch's successor will launch in the first half of 2023 so releasing a new Switch revision a year before the Switch's successor launches is rather pointless.

@Grumblevolcano

At this point in time I'm indifferent to the Switch Pro situation. Would I buy one if it were made available? Sure. Would I be surprised if Nintendo instead opted to skip releasing the Switch Pro in favor of riding the Switch gravy train for four more years? No, I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

The Switch is on pace to become Nintendo's all-time best selling home console, passing the Wii's 100m in fewer than five years of existence. Just...bonkers. My only concern is whether or not my collection will be backwards compatible with the next Nintendo platform. Whether it's a revision or a successor doesn't factor into that equation.

@Anti-Matter Dude...I think that's a spoiler.

@Magician Well if the 3DS/Wii U showed any indication, I could very well see Nintendo making their next console backwards compatible with the vast majority of, if not all Switch games. As far as I know, the only DS game that the 3DS can't play is that Guitar Hero game, since that requires the DS's GBA slot. And from my experience, the Wii U can play any Wii game you insert. So yeah, I'm pretty positive that the Switch 2 (or whatever Nintendo decides to call it) can run any Switch game, unless the new hardware somehow isn't up to snuff with certain games.

Ask if you want to be Switch friends with me, but I'd like to know you first. Thanks! ❤️

The MH Rise Switch and Pro Controller are live on Amazon Germany.

Unfortunately they do not ship to the US for this item, and even my UK forwarding address was not accepted. So, Germans only I guess

I see it says that goes 'live' on 26/3, so between now & then there'll probably be more options .... Quite likely including ones in America, anyway!

Ya, the Wall Street Bets reddit pooled together and all bought GameStop stock to drive price up and screw the institutions, forcing the price up which forces those shorting the stock to buy at any price to cover their short.

Its nuts lol. People becoming millionaires off this. I'd have dumped $5k into it yesterday but too risky for my blood.

Funny story. I had a free stock given to me by Robinhood when I first opened an account early last year, and they of course gave me gutter trash Gamestop worth $2 a share. So I left it sit.

Yesterday I see all the news, saw it hit $150 a share and came back down to $82. So I sold it. Quick $82 profit (it was a free share). Figured it was an overreaction and price would come back to around the $50 range (which is still 5-10x fair value). Now it's up to $350?!!! I should have held! Should have dumped $5k into Gamestop when it was $2.

But who wants to dump that much into a losing bet. Gamestop is a losing business model after all. This was unprecedented though.

Still made $20k in crypto in the last 10 months though. Bought in during the March C19 selloff, dumped $4k into Bitcoin at $6500, Ethereum at $180 and Cardano at $0.04 each. Now they're like $31k, $1270 and $0.32 respectively. Mad money to be made in crypto (obviously most investments go into 401k and Roth IRA but a small amount into crypto can go a long ways)

Check out the trailer of the new Animal Crossing New Horizons update that introduces Festivale and is coming on January 28th.

Sorry for the late (ish) reply, I was busy yesterday.

@Giancarlothomaz
We're never going to get an update to bring back, even half of, the missing features, are we? 🤔😔

@jump
I only saw the part with Reddit going crazy with the Gamestop stock, and was (somehow) able to inflate the stock like crazy. 🤔
Unless you're talking about the Gamestop news from a while ago, and the stocks are finally responding to it. 🤔

@Giancarlothomaz
It might be, but I don't what to get my hopes up, especially since I have gotten my hopes up for previous updates returning previous features, and have been disappointed with how underwhelming the updates are at times, and I'm saying has a big Animal Crossing fan. 🤔
Even if they did bring back a decent amount of characters/features in the March update, I don't expect them to bring back like 75-90% of the missing characters/features in the March update alone. 🤔

I just appreciate that it lead to professional media outlets having to write stuff like this:
