I would really hope that the Forza series come to Switch. I've always imagined played an open world racing game on the Switch for so long and I hope it actually happens soon.
We all know we're getting a Switch 2 this year, but it makes sense that Nintendo is going to keep focusing on the current Switch and making sure they're releasing new games to keep people interested in buying their hardware. One key thing Nintendo needs to do is to slowly transition from Switch 1 to Switch 2. Most of their player-base is still going to be on older hardware even after the launch of a new system; so they have to make sure they keep catering to those players with playable games while also giving their players on new hardware extra perks like better performance and visual fidelity.
Nintendo is likely going to give us a 512 GB storage option. The only reason I'm saying that is because a lot more AAA games are gonna come to Switch 2 and since we're expecting them to have better graphics, those game files are going to be massive and we'll need as much storage as possible. Also, we can expect the system to support up to a 2TB microSD card and we might can add our own NVMe SSDs into the system.
I have a feeling that Nintendo might not use the word "Switch" for their next system, probably to avoid repeating history like what they did with the Wii U. It'll probably be called the Nintendo Focus, Nintendo Edition 9, or somewhere along those lines. If for whatever reason Nintendo wants to keep the Switch name, I have a feeling they may call it the Super Nintendo Switch, a nod to the SNES.
I believe we're just a few weeks away from an official announcement. The numerous rumors that have been piling up have give us an idea of what the final version of the Switch 2 is going to have. Also, I don't know how Nintendo is exactly going to market their new console. Like you guys said, it's more of an iteration than a revolution, but what features is it going to make it apart from the current Switch? All the rumors we have gotten is that it'll have a performance upgrade, but is that really the only difference. I hope Nintendo is sure that they're to start production of the Switch 2 and it doesn't repeat history like the Wii U 10 years ago.
I'd say LEGO Fortnite and Rocket Racing are the best two game modes. Fortnite Festival is kinda boring and its crazy how you gotta spend 500 V-Buck on one song.
First-party Nintendo games that will be mentioned in tomorrow's direct:
Super Mario RPG Super Mario Bros. Wonder Metroid Prime 2 & 3 and/or Metroid Prime 4 Wind Waker HD and/or Twilight Princess HD New Donkey Kong Game Untitled Princess Peach Game Mario-Kart 8 Deluxe F-Zero Star Fox Tears of the Kingdom
Ok, there will be no Switch 2 announcement or teaser tomorrow. This Direct will just be focused on games coming out between November 2023 and February 2024. Also, we are going to get some Zelda news that isn't related to Tears of the Kingdom.
We are most definitely getting a Nintendo Direct this month. We'll see games like Donkey Kong, Mario-Kart, Super Mario, Metroid Prime 2 & 3 Ports, and possibly even Metroid Prime 4. Also, we can't forget about the Untitled Princess Peach game. I don't believe we'll see any hints and/or announcements of Nintendo's next-gen console but maybe in February 2024.
I just beat Tears of the Kingdom on Saturday. It took me 4 tries to beat Ganondorf and it was super frustrating. But I'm glad I got it over with, but I'm waiting for Tears of the Kingdom DLC.
@OfficialHigeDan That is true because even though Nintendo said they're not released new hardware throughout now until 3-31-24, they didn't say they were going to announce new hardware in this new timeframe. We should expect a announcement of new hardware in the winter months.
Well, this should be around the time when Nintendo releases more details about Metroid Prime 4, which is probably going to be the last mainline Nintendo game for a while.
I think they were trying to make a native Switch port instead of a cloud version. But the best theory is that the development team weren't able to make a stable and playable version of it. Also, they only said Midnight Suns is not planned on Switch, not on Nintendo systems. So we could see it launch on next-gen hardware in a few months.
Rogue Company is one of my favorite games on Switch. After I had heard that it will be gone, I tried to link my Nintendo account with my Xbox account on Rogue Company's website and Nintendo wasn't even an option anymore. I'm really sad and upset because all of my progress will be gone in June. 😭
I never even had a Wii U, so I don't care that they are closing the Eshop on there. But I was upset when they closed the Wii Shop. And eventually, the Switch's eShop will be closed, but that'll be a few years from now.
I haven't even played Overwatch 2 yet. I had downloaded it on my Switch, but never played it. But I think I'm to try out this new anime Collab on my Series S.
The more I thought about, the Switch could in theory have a life cycle of 10 years. But even though Nintendo can just make more games for the Switch for a few more years to keep selling systems, how long will the actual Switch hardware last? Games are now being designed with more updated game engines, and these engines will run horribly or lose support entirely on older machines. At this point, I believe the Switch won't be able to handle next-gen titles and it's making me question whether the glitching issues in Pokemon Scarlet/Violet were due to cheap game development, or simply the Switch wasn't powerful enough to handle it. In short, I think Nintendo's promise for a decade-long support of games for the Nintendo Switch might not happen, and they should just accept that and make a system. But this doesn't mean they have to scrap the Switch entirely. Make a new console has the same portability and design as the Switch, but with more horsepower to play all the PS5 and Series X|S next-gen titles.
