It depends. Does Nintendo like money? Did Nintendo just pour massive amounts of money into extending Switch's games output for an additional 3 or 4 years? Has Nintendo held the usual sales-juicing cards closely to their chest, like price cuts, bundles, and pretty colors/limited editions? If you (wisely) answered yes to all those questions, then you have to know the historic positions of the PS2 and DS are in jeopardy.
Well, Game Pass just landed a lunker by the name of Mass Effect: Legendary Edition. I have maybe put two or three hours into Mass Effect. I can feel this game warping my sense of time; 3 hours feels like 30 minutes. So I don't think I'll be playing anything else and POOF the weekend will be gone.
I did the 80% option, because if Pokemon Arceus somehow becomes the next Pokemon of the Wild with Animal Crossing sales numbers, then Nintendo might hold off until March of next year.
I'm not dismissing out of hand a Switch release because of leaked achievements on the Xbox. It would seem to be a clickbait article intended to trigger us, and it seems to have worked.
One can easily conclude Nintendo dominated 2021 by compiling worldwide sales numbers, and these also indicate it. If chip shortages continue this year, then they will do it again.
I think I'm gonna have to dive in to Shin Megami Tensei V. I'm pretty sure the Fall of Man edition is wrapped up under my tree. That, or it's a giant bottle of liquor.
@Friendly It's more like a Marvel movie than GTA. Actually, maybe being more like Neo in the matrix is a better description. Just combine them. You'll see.
Devolver is right up there as one of my favorite publishers. How do they continue to keep cranking such high quality products? Also, they always have the best showing at E3 every year.
I think fate has put Nintendo in a most envious position in the video game sector. Fate has given them time to let portable technologies mature and evolve. They can ride the Switch and the OLED out another three years before revealing their next console. The chip shortage has made the PS5 and the Xbox Series X objects of myth, and while it has also hindered Switch production, Nintendo was not in a position where they were trying to establish a new player base.
@RupeeClock I canceled my physical copy so I could take a wait-and-see approach on it. I'm really having quite a bit of fun with it, but not double-dipping fun (so far).
This game actually soured me on kickstarters. I haven't received my game, and all my extras are going to my old address, and I was unable to stop them or change the shipping address.
Just the physical copy, please. And was that sarcasm about acting fast? I don't think I've ever seen a six week window before. Even a sloth coud wait a month and a week and still get their order in on time.

Triangle Strategy is still better than Bravely Default: Flying Fairy.

Re: Random: The OG Tomb Raider Looks Amazing On Game Boy Advance
That looks so good I question the reality of it. Is it REALLY using nothing more than GBA guts? Pretty jaw-dropping if true.

That's why you should wear safety goggles when motorboating.

Re: Video: YouTuber Runs The Ultimate Switch OLED Burn-In Test, Left On For Over "1800 Hours Straight"
Love my OLED. It looks better than any tv I have in the house.

Re: Exclusive: Former Sega President Wanted Virtua Fighter 3 And Crazy Taxi On The Nintendo 64
Crazy Taxi shouldn't have gone to the N64. It would've looked like $#!+.
Re: The Company Behind This High-End Switch Rival Thinks It Has Solved Analogue Stick Drift
@RadioHedgeFund
NintenDOES stay in business and make games that aren't buggy messes. I know you were just making a goof.
Re: The Company Behind This High-End Switch Rival Thinks It Has Solved Analogue Stick Drift
It certainly looks interesting. Steamdeck is on notice!
Re: Best Of 2021: 8 Games That Missed Nintendo Hardware

Pretty sure 13 Sentinels is coming to the Switch.
Re: Best Of 2021: 8 Games That Missed Nintendo Hardware
How about ONE Call of Duty or Madden on the Switch? It's baffling to this day.

Re: Shadow Man Remastered Appears To Be Releasing On Switch eShop Next Month
I can wait for a Limited Run release.
Re: Koei Tecmo Will Unleash Its "Full Power" In 2022, With New Projects That Have Been In Development For Several Years
Yeah, I'm reading way too much stuff here to make me think they're sticking with the Switch. Xtreme Beach Volleyball on UE5 is my guess.

Re: Nintendo's eShop Experienced Outages Over Christmas (Again)
We got more physical than digital games, so we've been good!

I think I'm gonna have to dive in to Shin Megami Tensei V. I'm pretty sure the Fall of Man edition is wrapped up under my tree. That, or it's a giant bottle of liquor.

Re: Feature: Best Nintendo Switch Ports Of 2021
If I'm going for pure ambition, I've got to vote for Dying Light.
EDIT- I have 9 out of 10 of these.

Most importantly, they can be used as flotation devices in the event of a water landing.
Re: Five Sega Genesis Games Have Been Added To Nintendo Switch Online's Expansion Pack
Am I the only one a little stoked about Altered Beast? I used to love that game in the arcades! Sega's coming through!
EDIT- lol just saw the post right above me.
Re: Turn-Based Tactical RPG 'Circus Electrique' Announced For Nintendo Switch
Saber Interactive will always be on my radar on the Switch. I anticipate it will be polished to a glossy shine, anyway.

How many western 3rd parties completely missed the boat with the Switch?

Re: Switch Just Enjoyed Its Best-Ever Hardware And Software Sales Week Across Europe
And like...3 announcements at the VGAs. Man 3rd parties missed the boat.
Re: Video: The Lord Of The Rings: Gollum Game Gets A Brand New Cinematic Trailer
I thought it looked fun. A stealth game wherein you set traps for orcs? Seems like a fun premise.

Re: Talking Point: Should The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Library Expand Faster?
I don't know why they don't just put out everything they can. It might have actually justified the price.

Re: GTA Trilogy's Physical Edition For Switch Has Been Delayed, Will Now Arrive In "Early 2022"
If they implement all the patches into the physical cart, I'm okay with this. R* really shipped the bed on this one.

Re: Nintendo Switch Just Had Its Biggest Sales Week Ever In The UK
I had to purchase a Switch OLED from a scalper, so it won't count in the sales total for Nintendo. :/

Re: Feature: All Five American Football Games On Switch (Yes, You Read That Right)
Why doesn't 2K release their football game without the NFL license? Maybe put XFL in there, instead.

Re: Japanese RPG Heavyweight Nihon Falcom Is Bringing Switch Development In-House
Man, Falcom and Rockstar were two companies that really didn't want to play nice in the sandbox with Nintendo.
