I am not getting to excited as we probably won’t see a new Mario kart until 2024. However going on past history I have a feeling we may see the Switch replacement in March 2023 with BOTW2 for exciting Switch and it’s replacement. It worked well with Wii to WiiU and wiiU to Switch. Also being honest with the new generation from Sony and Microsoft and third party games the Swtich is looking extra under powered now and will start to lose third party support as the gap in power is even greater, so 2023 for Switch replacement with BOTW2 as a release game is my prediction. Nintendo like to surprise now and again.
Please all don’t get me wrong I’m not trolling about lack of in house AAA switch games. I have been with Nintendo since the NES and yes I had a WII U. When you been with Nintendo that long and invested money and time, you notice sometimes patterns of AAA in house development game releases and see they do slack off if a console is selling really really well.
@Zeldinion Are those you mentioned, in house AAA developed games or 2nd party development studios. Metroid is Mercury Systems for sure a Spanish developer. Warioware is usually subbed out to produce. Animal crossing yes in house. So there you go, see people mix up the intertwined in house studios with 2nd party because Nintendo usually always publish the 2nd party games so it looks like they have made them. Kirby is Hal Laboratories yes now owned by Nintendo, but an independent out of house studio. I guess their in house teams are just small. When you think say Naughty dog have about 600 employees alone as a single studio and say Ubisoft have 18 thousand. However Nintendo have about 6 thousand but they definitely not working on new in house AAA games I would love to know how many Nintendo staff are actually working on game development.
@johnvboy This is also where Nintendo have a problem making a more powerful console. If they released a Switch 2 as powerful as a PS4. The expectation would be pure graphical beauty of say god of war or horizon zero dawn. They would never get the game finished or produced with that level of graphical detail. That takes a lot artists and graphical work and personnel. Of course I would love a 3d Mario game or Zelda with that level of detail true 4k, hdr, high res textures etc. Not that there is anything wrong with BOTW or Mario Odyssey on the existing Switch, amazing games.
It will interesting to see where Nintendo go in the next 2 years console power wise and in house studio size wise in terms of employment.
@johnvboy Yes in the switch early days and I have played all of them, remember in house AAA games not second party. Games like the outstanding BOTW, Mario Odyssey and Splatoon 2. These were all in the early switch days. It has been very quiet for a good while in house studio wise. Yes covid has effected the industry but other studios are releasing top end AAA games. Nintendo in house teams must be small in reality by other studios standards. Perhaps they need to employ more, with all those Switch profits and other game related profits they make.
8 years since the last new Mario kart entry. A lack of new AAA in house studio games on the switch for some time now. Nintendo I thought the plan was and you said this, only having one single console to make games for would bring more AAA in house studio games to the Switch. Get your dam act together and start producing them.
It seems when Nintendo get very good console sales success they slow down on AAA in house produced games, like they rest on their laurels and possibly think well we don’t need to, we are selling millions of consoles so why bother. I wish the PS5 and Series X did not have supply issues over the last year and going into 2022, it may have made Nintendo think if those consoles had sold maybe double what they have.
Nintendo in one had you make amazing games that I have enjoyed over the decades, on the other hand you seem to drop in house AAA game production, which I think nowadays is controlled by the suits and the financial suits to maximise company profits.
Keep the switch format just more powerful so we can get better third party games at say PS4 level of graphics and make it backwards compatibility. My real prediction below: Backwards compatibility won’t happen as they will want to charge and remaster switch games to the new generation switch. As powerful as PS4 I doubt it, it takes them ages to make in house AAA games let alone making a graphical master piece like Horizon Zero Dawn or Last of us 2, to much detail, textures and environmental beautiful details.
@Nintendofan83 Maybe a bit harsh been with Nintendo since the NES days, and if you enjoy their games so much like BOTW and Mario Odyssey I just want more of that pure Nintendo magic. Yes Covid has had an impact but other developers have got very good AAA games out and I have one coming in HFW next month. Don’t forget both BOTW and Mario Odyssey have their respective game engines developed and many games assists, the sequels should be here by now I’m hungry for them 😂
Yet again, similar to BOTW2 thread, what have Nintendo in house AAA developers been doing for the last 4 to 5 years. Remember in house teams not second party teams who have released games. They released the Switch and the first up-to two years where staggering, since then it’s been remakes and mainly second party releases. Since BOTW and Mario Odyssey big AAA Meta scores they have come nowhere near that level. That’s 5 long years ago.
If it doesn’t their in house development AAA team needs a kick up the arse, because they have not released anything new and AAA for a long time. Remember in house AAA teams not second party teams that have released games. We should have had a Mario Odyssey sequel by now as well.
Would have rather the team produced a new 3d platform DK adventure of Mario adventure. It’s nearly 5 years since Nintendo in house studios produced Mario odyssey an amazing 3d platform game, what the hell have they been doing all this time. Let alone BOTW another 5 years gone by. These games are amazing but don’t take the resource of a top end say PS4/5 game like Horizon Zero dawn. Nintendo should be able to produce say a Mario odyssey sequel in about 3 years max, they have the engine they have most assets from the first game etc. We deserve more and better from Nintendo in house studios. Perhaps they went on holiday to the Nintendo theme park 😂
It’s not all that amazing really when it comes to AAA in house products, considering how quiet Nintendo have been on that front for years, not including remasters. If Kirby forgotten is AAA quality, and Splatton is also and BOTW2 releases then maybe a good AAA 2022. But I have my doubts Kirby won’t be a top end AAA. Splatton 3 is a bit niche and Splatton 2 had no cloud save. And will BOTW2 actually release 2022. It’s all speculation and hype which Nintendo have a lot of recently instead of new AAA in house developed games ready for release. Maybe my switch will get the dust wiped off, maybe not.
@mariomaster96 And don’t Nintendo know it, we should have by now. BOTW 2 Mario Odyssey 2 or new 2d platform game Mario kart 9 3d donkey Kong game I think their true in house development teams must have gone to the Nintendo world theme park. If the switch had stopped selling and the two new generation consoles where readily available all the time, the in house studio games situation may be a bit more forthcoming.
@BTB20 Thank you. I tried Astral Plain, did not get on with it Paper Mario was ok ish but I got so far and lost it. I think I need BOTW2 and a new Mario platform preferably 3d but 2d is ok. Where is a 3d Donkey Kong. I just feel after the initial first 2 year push the big in house studios have been so quiet, yes some remakes but when you have owned every Nintendo home console including the WII U, remakes don’t do it. As amazing as these games are they are not 4K, etc having massive texture assist and levels of unreal detail. They should not take ages turn the games around. But then again when you sell as many switches as you do why keep making new big AAA in-house games. Also the shortage of the new generation consoles has assisted the Switch in some ways.
It started for me on release day and just got better and better, for a while. It now does nothing for me really, the odd bit of Mario Kart online. I’m a massive Nintendo AAA single player fan and since BOTW, MK8, Mario Odyssey, Yoshi, Splatoon 2, Luigi mansion there has not been much for me. When you have played them beaten them you look for the next big AAA. BOTW2, Mario Odyssey 2, Mario Kart 9 etc. Been to quiet on that front to long. For now I’ve moved onto PS5 enjoying their games but I will be back for BOTW2, maybe Splatoon 3, maybe the new Kirby forgotten. But for someone new to the Switch it is an amazing library of in house party AAA games their. Shame they have been to quiet for to long. I mean take Retro Studios apart from a remake, in 5 years nothing.
Amazing console some how keeps selling. I loved my Switch in the early couple of years. But not much for me now, since their real first party studios seem absent of games or busy doing remakes. A bit of 2nd party stuff was good Yoshi, Luigi mansion etc. shall see next year, BOTW 2 will get me back, but not counting on that next year 2022.
They definitely to need expand their internal game developer studio sizes, they take an age to release internal AAA games. Let’s remember since the big hitters on or near the launch of the switch the true in house studios have not released much.
Now imagine for next generation they have to consider maybe 4K, HDR, higher texture assets, lots of detailed worlds etc, real surround sound. on current form they would never get say a game like Forza Horizon 5, Horizon Zero Dawn Forbidden West out of development and to customers. I mean BOTW is amazing and the first game would take a long time, but the second with the game engine done and assists etc all there etc, remembering this is low level graphics and sound compared to todays standards, it’s taking forever, also they are using the same Hyrule land mass. Same could be said for Mario Odyssey. They take to long because their studios are tiny in comparison to others. Also not even had a new Mario Kart for Switch generation. Perhaps they to busy building Amibo, theme parks and soft cuddles toys 😂😂😂
Can’t see what all the fuss is about you pay if you want and don’t pay if you don’t. I have chosen don’t pay there is nothing there for me to play as played the originals and I like new modern experiences. Maybe if the best GameCube and Wii/Wii U titles appeared I might give it ago.
Probably a good move, covid has seen us communicate and work in different ways. Some of the local councils and companies in the UK are closing certain offices, moving staff and working from home. It’s saves paying the rent for the buildings that are not required and cuts that cost.
Showing my age, had golden axe on the original mega drive and most games I wanted from the console. Nostalgia is good in the brain and that is where I leave it, fond memories. I tired to go back once and it’s not the same.
I’m currently a family online member which I think is good value, but will definitely not be upgrading and adding the expansion. Being honest I have played all these game when they first released and even with the nostalgia Nintendo have they can’t complete with their new games in many areas. Waste of time and money, bring us some new AAA games from your in house studios instead, it’s like they have disappeared. Proud Switch OLED owner.
Had there not been supply constraints OLED console wise would have sold more in UK as they all gone. I guess the same is for elsewhere. Pre-orders are back up for the 22/10/2021.
Went white and black of course goes Well in my entertainment centre. Also got pro controller, wish they had done a special edition to match the console colouring.
I left switch for a long time but decided to take the plunge again and some now managed to get me self a Switch OLED white model with Skyward Sword in UK currently playing now.
The issue for me would be if you added your own screen protector on top then after years tried to remove it would it pull off or bubble up the already Nintendo applied film.
@Outerdragon More a Nintendo AAA in house game fan. Zelda, Mario,Metroid etc. That’s why I buy their consoles. All third parties or third party similar games I now play on Series X, PS4 or Xbox one.
@Outerdragon I have had all the home Nintendo consoles since day one very old gamer 😂. I guess it got off with a bang, BOTW, Mario Kart, Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2, Arms. All in house AAA games. Then later Luigi mansion, Yoshi etc remembering these are not in house studio games. Then for me came the remakes, well I had a Wii and Wii U so what’s the point of those for me. I’m just dissatisfied we should have had more by now first party AAA in house wise. These are not graphical intense games with 4K mapping, textures, high detail levels, hdr etc etc. They should have put more from in house studios out by now. That was my gripe. The consoles sells amazing, they getting lazy. Great start for me games wise in house studios, not much since.
@Chamver Well said they have been very poor in house AAA games wise, since after the first year or so of launch. They dam well deserve what they get now. My Switch is gathering dust. Also making a weak console does not help third party support, even if games do get converted they are not that good on a 55” 4K tv compared to PS4, Xbox one let alone the new generation. By now we should have BOTW2, a new 3d Metroid and 3d mario platformer at least. Instead we get remake after remake.
Business strategy wise well done Nintendo. Little effort big sales. For someone that has owed all Nintendo consoles and played all the remakes so far on the original consoles, not great for those gamers. We definitely not been getting any new AAA in house games at the moment at it’s been a long time.
@SwitchForce Also I never said Nintendo were doomed, I said they making business and they are doing well. Did you not see I have owned every Nintendo home console since release, and I forgot the GameCube in my list, silly me. Also the DS and 3DS.
@SwitchForce I have switch and it’s fact not fiction. I would have purchased a switch OLED, if they had something new from in house AAA studios. I know their studios are tiny but come on, what have their in house teams AAA only, released in recent years, nothing of any significance. It gets mentioned on here a lot, they to busy building theme parks, Lego, cardboard toys, slippers, t shirt and night wear 😂😂😂
No, played it on WII, getting fed up with Nintendo now and all these remakes and no in house AAA games for ages. It’s like I’m being punished for having a nes, SNES, n64, wii and wii u as I’ve paid and played all these remakes. They had a great first year from in house studios, now they have abandoned new AAA games in house studio wise. They are playing the business strategy why bother when Switch sells anyway. Let me tell you Nintendo it’s dropping off in the UK, Switches now in stock everywhere for ages. PS5 and series X outselling you with limited stock You deserve a kick up your lazy back sides. Miss Switch is dusty and alone.
It’s very simple, don’t buy things that you feel are overpriced. It’s simple supply and demand. The console market I believe is doing very well so demand is high and supply is low, especially with next generation consoles. They are both selling more than last generation at this stage and the Switch keeps selling. If demand was low and supply high and people stopped buying, prices would probably drop or special offers would be made. The current trends are showing the only way for the price is up, as we keep buying. It’s simple business economics.
@rpg2000 Only time will tell and we will see I shall be playing Xbox new AAA games this fall FH5 and Halo and the top third party games. You can play Mario party again after Nintendo dumped the last one on the Switch with no board support etc, which I have. You can play skyward sword which I played on the wii decades ago. Nintendo are poor and lazy my fellow gamer.
@Wavey84 Totally agree, I had wii u, so it’s been even tougher for me of late. Also lots of those other games you mentioned are made by out of house studios. So god knows what their in house AAA studios have been doing, they are resting on their laurels as the Switch is selling well. I hope it bites them in the arse as they need a good kick up the arse, they been to busy making theme parks, Lego and lots of merchandise and card board toys and other stuff that is not AAA games. It’s was funny today, I heard the news late about Switch OLED, read the headlines, panicked and preordered one at Game UK. Went back read the articles properly, thought what no real docked improvements and cancelled my preorder. No sale Nintendo. The thing is if they had more AAA games coming this year say BOTW2, Odyssey 2 and say Bayonetta 3 or Pikmin 4, I would have got a Switch OLED and kept my preorder. Oh well, one less sale for Nintendo and a Series X with GPU for me.

Metroid is Mercury Systems for sure a Spanish developer.
Warioware is usually subbed out to produce.
Animal crossing yes in house.
So there you go, see people mix up the intertwined in house studios with 2nd party because Nintendo usually always publish the 2nd party games so it looks like they have made them.
Kirby is Hal Laboratories yes now owned by Nintendo, but an independent out of house studio.

Splatton 3 is a bit niche and Splatton 2 had no cloud save.
And will BOTW2 actually release 2022.

The issue for me would be if you added your own screen protector on top then after years tried to remove it would it pull off or bubble up the already Nintendo applied film.

More a Nintendo AAA in house game fan.
Zelda, Mario,Metroid etc.
That’s why I buy their consoles.
All third parties or third party similar games I now play on Series X, PS4 or Xbox one.
Re: Nintendo's Stock Price Sees Biggest Fall In Two Years Following Earnings Report
@Outerdragon
I have had all the home Nintendo consoles since day one very old gamer 😂.
I guess it got off with a bang, BOTW, Mario Kart, Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2, Arms. All in house AAA games. Then later Luigi mansion, Yoshi etc remembering these are not in house studio games.
Then for me came the remakes, well I had a Wii and Wii U so what’s the point of those for me.
I’m just dissatisfied we should have had more by now first party AAA in house wise.
These are not graphical intense games with 4K mapping, textures, high detail levels, hdr etc etc.
They should have put more from in house studios out by now. That was my gripe.
The consoles sells amazing, they getting lazy.
Great start for me games wise in house studios, not much since.
Re: Nintendo's Stock Price Sees Biggest Fall In Two Years Following Earnings Report
@Chamver
Well said they have been very poor in house AAA games wise, since after the first year or so of launch.
They dam well deserve what they get now.
My Switch is gathering dust.
Also making a weak console does not help third party support, even if games do get converted they are not that good on a 55” 4K tv compared to PS4, Xbox one let alone the new generation.
By now we should have BOTW2, a new 3d Metroid and 3d mario platformer at least.
Instead we get remake after remake.
Re: UK Charts: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Soars Straight To Number One
Business strategy wise well done Nintendo.
Little effort big sales.
For someone that has owed all Nintendo consoles and played all the remakes so far on the original consoles, not great for those gamers.
We definitely not been getting any new AAA in house games at the moment at it’s been a long time.
Re: Poll: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
@WiltonRoots
😂 I’m sure they are not doing that but a few years of absence AAA in house game wise makes you wonder where they have been.

@SwitchForce
Also I never said Nintendo were doomed, I said they making business and they are doing well.
Did you not see I have owned every Nintendo home console since release, and I forgot the GameCube in my list, silly me. Also the DS and 3DS.
Re: Poll: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
@SwitchForce
I have switch and it’s fact not fiction.
I would have purchased a switch OLED, if they had something new from in house AAA studios.
I know their studios are tiny but come on, what have their in house teams AAA only, released in recent years, nothing of any significance.
It gets mentioned on here a lot, they to busy building theme parks, Lego, cardboard toys, slippers, t shirt and night wear 😂😂😂
Re: Poll: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
No, played it on WII, getting fed up with Nintendo now and all these remakes and no in house AAA games for ages.
It’s like I’m being punished for having a nes, SNES, n64, wii and wii u as I’ve paid and played all these remakes.
They had a great first year from in house studios, now they have abandoned new AAA games in house studio wise.
They are playing the business strategy why bother when Switch sells anyway.
Let me tell you Nintendo it’s dropping off in the UK, Switches now in stock everywhere for ages.
PS5 and series X outselling you with limited stock
You deserve a kick up your lazy back sides.
Miss Switch is dusty and alone.
Re: Switch OLED Success "Could Set A Precedent For Charging More Across The Industry", Analyst Warns
It’s very simple, don’t buy things that you feel are overpriced. It’s simple supply and demand.
The console market I believe is doing very well so demand is high and supply is low, especially with next generation consoles. They are both selling more than last generation at this stage and the Switch keeps selling.
If demand was low and supply high and people stopped buying, prices would probably drop or special offers would be made.
The current trends are showing the only way for the price is up, as we keep buying.
It’s simple business economics.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Switch OLED Model Looks Lovely, But May Also Disappoint
@rpg2000
Only time will tell and we will see
I shall be playing Xbox new AAA games this fall FH5 and Halo and the top third party games.
You can play Mario party again after Nintendo dumped the last one on the Switch with no board support etc, which I have.
You can play skyward sword which I played on the wii decades ago.
Nintendo are poor and lazy my fellow gamer.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Switch OLED Model Looks Lovely, But May Also Disappoint
@Wavey84
Totally agree, I had wii u, so it’s been even tougher for me of late.
Also lots of those other games you mentioned are made by out of house studios.
So god knows what their in house AAA studios have been doing, they are resting on their laurels as the Switch is selling well.
I hope it bites them in the arse as they need a good kick up the arse, they been to busy making theme parks, Lego and lots of merchandise and card board toys and other stuff that is not AAA games.
It’s was funny today, I heard the news late about Switch OLED, read the headlines, panicked and preordered one at Game UK.
Went back read the articles properly, thought what no real docked improvements and cancelled my preorder. No sale Nintendo.
The thing is if they had more AAA games coming this year say BOTW2, Odyssey 2 and say Bayonetta 3 or Pikmin 4, I would have got a Switch OLED and kept my preorder.
Oh well, one less sale for Nintendo and a Series X with GPU for me.
