I'm going to try and pre order Switch 2 day 1 but I really am not expecting to get it day 1

These better be $10 upgrades and not you have to buy the game again for better frame rate and better resolution that is scummy if Nintendo does this when these Switch actually sold a ton unlike the Wii U

while we all agree the next Mario Kart will sell very well, probably will be the best selling Switch 2 games do think it will sell significantly less than 8 Deluxe

@JohnnyMind no next week is a "Switch 2 Direct" not a Switch 2 and also Switch 1 Direct

@1UP-HUSKY next week is a "Switch 2 Direct" which means not Switch 1

"Nintendo Direct this week for sure this time"
doesn't happen
"Nintendo Direct this week for sure this time"
still doesn't happen
"Nintendo Direct this week for sure this time"

the definition of missed potential, such a disappointment of a game hopefully the next Animal Crossing isn't too far away and can blow ACNH out the water

Problem is what is super popular in one country does not mean that will translate to worldwide success, Dragon Quest mega popular in Japan but outside very few care, in America Call of Duty mega popular but in Japan they don't care

I side fully with Palworld, Nintendo are being bullies to smaller companies because they don't want competition

I can't find any good excuses why there shouldn't be a native Switch 2 version that goes alongside the Switch 1 version

I only want to see Switch 2 games in the April Direct not Switch 1 games

as much as I want GameCube NSO on Switch 2 exclusively as one of many reasons to buy a Switch 2 how do we know it doesn't also come to Switch 1

I'm expecting $450 and not ruling out the possibility of it being $500

makes sense if they are planning a massive launch you need systems delivered to each country ahead of release and also to avoid Trump Tariffs

I would rather a HD 2D style remaster than a FF7 remake for Chrono Trigger

no surprise there will be no new Mario game announcements until April 2nd at the earliest

I'm hoping the Direct is 1 hour long that gives them plenty of time to show the hardware off more like the UI and hopefully better E-Shop then move onto the games which I want to see more than a handful new first party Switch 2 exclusive games

the same people that expected Wii U to pass Wii sales

was hoping Thousand Year Door got discounted I am not paying full price for a old game

Luigis Mansion 3 is way too low

no I don't think they will new games are getting bigger thus taking longer to make Nintendo themselves have started that and as someone who follows PlayStation their out put how slowed down massively over the years and I can't see Nintendo avoiding this

@Spider-Kev same

$399 is the same as the base digital PS5 so on par with PlayStation

another stupid decision Nintendo is making fans should not defend them on this

how about just make a new Star Fox game exclusively for Switch 2

@DarkCoolEdge 3 is in a hotel not a mansion

I want LM4 to be more like the first game but the mansion is massive

Sony messed up with PS5 because they took too long to cut off support for PS4 and because of that PS5 is struggling to sell half their audience has still not moved over to PS5 over 4 years later I don't want Nintendo to fall into the same situation where they keep putting games out for Switch 1 and not enough Switch 2 exclusives and people think why do I need a Switch 2

@PikminMarioKirby the correct Direct

got the day booked off work the one presentation i refuse to miss

they can want it to be as cheap as much as they want if the parts they want are expensive which they will be Nintendo will have no other option but to have a higher than usual price tag plus we know Nintendo doesn't sell hardware at a lose day one like Sony or Microsoft they want to make a profit day one

these sales were pre official announcement so obviously its not, this quarter however different story Switch 2 officially got announced January 16 how will that effect sales? maybe not much in Japan but outside of Japan I expect a big drop in Switch hardware sales

@JohnnyMind that's just Japan 1 country what about the rest of the world

I don't care about Switch 1 anymore I just care about Switch 2 and getting to April 2nd for that Switch 2 Direct to learn about the games and pre orders

I only care about Switch 2 nothing else matters

I still maintain the long term success of Switch 2 is not the name or backwards compatability its Switch 2 exclusive games that are not on Switch 1, if all the big first party games are on both Switch 2 and Switch 1 then there is no reason to get a Switch 2

I don't care for Switch 1 it is a dead console to me

might as well make everything bigger with next gen the console itself, the game cases and game files

A story mode with big boss battle/races

nope got rejected for London

it's been almost two decades people need to stop Banjo Kazooie is not coming back, it is a dead franchise

June is the most likely release, why reveal in mid January and a early April Direct just to release in September? Doesn't make any sense when Switch 1 released less the two months after the January Switch presentation

yeah the early adopters will not be your average joe schmo casual gamer they are the hardcore gamers who will pay whatever price, people who are getting the current Switch now won't get a Switch 2 until 2035

New Mario Kart will need more than 24 racers to feel more different than 8

I doubt the reveal would have had more impact for me if I didn't follow the leaks

Nintendo should have revealed the console sooner its their own fault the Switch 2 got leaked

I have no confidence I will be able to get a Switch 2 day one no matter how many Nintendo ships out, the demand for this console is going to insane and the bots/scalpers will be out in full force

they highlight "Switch 2 exclusive games" to me that means only on Switch 2 and not on Switch 1

It did the bare minimum and after do long I'm just relieved the Switch 2 is 100% official

I followed the leaks just because and the fact a huge cunk of them are legit kinda took the surprise away
