@Anti-Matter That’s the reason why I’m going to buy an Xbox Series S very soon. I’m really sick of playing streaming only titles on my Switch, where I could play them in a more powerful console that’s cheaper than the Switch in my region.

You only need to know about my many obsessions, which consist of Lego, Fortnite, Nintendo, PlayStation and Xbox games, drawing on my Tablet, Dragon Ball Z, My Hero Academia, Thomas The Tank Engine, Star Wars, and Ninjago.

@JONOFTHEJONS series S is well worth it for the AAA titles that don't come to switch. I got one back in December specifically for that reason and gamepass

@Giancarlothomaz Personally, I think that a new 3D Mario game is in development.

@TheBigBlue i know, but can Pikimin 4 drive Switch sales like a Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom or a next 2D Mario would do?problaby a little, but not to the extent a Legend of Zelda game would do, nothing agaist Pikimin, i know that is a amazing franchise(i myself played Pikimin 1 e 2)

@Giancarlothomaz Apologies for saying this, but isn’t it too early to talk about new hardware? Everyone thinks that the next generation nintendo console will be revealed this year, but in reality, there will be nothing. The only thing that everyone on the internet talks about is a Switch Pro or Switch Two. We will get a Switch two, but isn’t it too early to talk about it? Around 80% of people who own a Switch don’t even care new hardware. It’s fun to make speculations, but it feels like all that Nintendo fans talk about on the internet is how they need next generation hardware as soon as possible.

@JONOFTHEJONS I'm in no rush for new hardware lol. Switch games just have a console feel imo. Looks fine on my 4k tv and plays the games I enjoy. Of course eventually it will get replaced but I wont be banging that drum.

It is fun to speculate and look at some of the latest ARM development to see where they might go 😛

There's a game on the Coming Soon section of the eShop that's Disc Golf, using motion controls to throw the disc.

Graphics aren't the best but I've seen worse. Looks on par with those farming sim games.

It's just a $15 indie but, I have a thing for video game disc golf, especially with motion controls. If the game controls well, that's all that matters. The fun of the game is literally in throwing the discs and curving them around trees and stuff.

I might check it out. Looks like the kind of game that would never get reviewed and even if it did, would score a 6/10 at best. But to me, it could be a 10/10 for fun factor if they nail the controls.

@JONOFTHEJONS i dont think to talk about the sucessor of Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch is already 6 years old, the typical lifecycle of a Nintendo console, we should be expecting a reveal and launch of Switch sucessor this holiday season or next spring(march/april), theres already been reports that the chipset of Switch sucessor has been taped, NERD is looking for profissionals to work on cross-gen games on Switch and it sucessor, plus the fact the games for the second half of the year is still unknown, lead me to believe the Switch sucessor could be revealed(problaby in june/july) and released this octobre/novembre or next spring

Anyone can make up statistics. And in any case, what do you even mean by this? That right now "80%" of people with a Switch are happy with the hardware? Or that if there was better hardware "80%" of people wouldn't be interested?

I'm not sure either is true and the latter most certainly isn't. The Switch released 6 years ago, people who got one at launch will be considering a newer SKU purely due to wear. That 80% number, works out to roughly be everyone who brought a Switch before around mid 2018. Those people will be looking for something new. If there was substantially better hardware? People will buy it, it's not even a question

I honestly don't know why people cling to this "the hardware is fine as it is and should never be improved" mindset

@skywake I would love improved hardware, but it’s definitely not going to happen. As I said, there will be a Switch Two eventually, but Nintendo specifically said last year that The Switch is halfway through it’s life, so I would expect new hardware being released at 2025 at the bear minimum. 80% was just a rough estimation by me of how many people don’t even care for new hardware.

@Giancarlothomaz I don't think they necessarily have a "big" release after TotK, at least in terms of sales. They'll have Pikmin 4 and Metroid Prime 4, and I'm sure a few remasters/remakes that'll be big hype wise though.

Switch sales will mostly be driven by the existing evergreen titles at this point anyways.

@JONOFTHEJONS Take that 'halfway' with a grain of salt. Nintendo has said a lot of things over the decades and they are well known for playing things close to their chest, so they will say just about anything besides their actual plans until they are ready to do so.

Do Nintendo always talk about their schedule for the holidays in their investor meetings?
