It's about time Nintendo lifted the lid on the new system. But I'm more excited to see what new games are launching. Hopefully a new fully fledged 3D Mario & Donkey Kong reveal. But I won't hold my breath.
Totally agree, Nintendo's strategy is slowly winning. The other two just keep chasing tech gen after gen. Tech means nothing anymore, also the industry can't sustain the forever growing costs of tech & software. Nintendo play there own game with forever amazing games. Put "gameplay" ahead of anything else.
I love Nintendo & Sony, but without a doubt the biggest mistake Nintendo made was not giving the Snes the cd add on. The system would of had even more potential.
@Danrenfroe2016 yes & no, I just feel that an upgrade to switch would be rather boring. Basically a bigger screen with bigger specs. I have Steam Deck, so basically switch 2 will be basically the same. I personally miss Nintendos innovations with something different to everything else. But I get what your saying.
It always amazes me how games like this get released. Who the hell play tests them & gives it the green light. Surely as a games tester you would realise something like the aiming or jumping mechanic is crap & not enjoyable.
Some keep saying it looks to good to be running on Switch. It proves with talent & amazing artists hardware is almost irrelevant. And yes it does look incredible 😍
Could of done so much with the original formula. As usual they have to over complicate with some pointless story crap, missions look over complicated as well. This isn't Lunar lander, its just another ruined Atari classic.

Re: Neo Geo Beat 'Em Up 'Vengeance Hunters' Brings The Fight To Switch Next Week

Re: Rumour: Supposed 'Switch 2' Design Photos And Specs Surface Online

When is any l game nowadays not inspired by another. Astrobot is incredible, so is Mario. Mario Galaxy 1&2 are masterpieces of game design.

Re: Retro-Style Racer 'Victory Heat Rally' Power Slides Onto Switch Winter 2024

Re: Review: Lunar Lander Beyond (Switch) - A Fresh Approach For Atari's Arcade Classic
