I do not understand people who say "the second half of 2023 is stacked" what are you talking about? No game in August, September and December, a few games in October and November does not mean a stacked second half

I still don't see Nintendo hitting that 15 million target, yes Zelda moved more Switch this quater compared to last year but still over 10 million to sell, there is no game that will really get Switch hardware selling until Mario Bros Wonder in October and I don't see that moving as many Switch's as people think it will especially not like Pokemon did last year

yeah October or November 2024 for their next generation makes sense to me I fully believe next year is the right time for next gen

Hard disagree I like Oatchi and what he brings to 4 but he doesn't need to be in the next game (if there will be a Pikmin 5)

I would say Seasons first just because it's easier than Ages

with digital could be around 500k

would be nice for full scale remakes for both Oracle games but I doubt that will ever happen

disappointed to hear Pikmin 4 sold less than Engage which didn't do near as well as Three Houses

If Nintendo "fans" actually supported these games instead of ignoring them because they are not pokemon, Mario, zelda, Animal Crossing and Splatoon they wouldn't be dormant

I hate day one patches that screams releasing the game unfinished

guarantee Nintendo will release their next gen at least a couple years before 2027 also not a smart idea to go next gen the same year 2027 Sony and Microsoft will release the PS6 and the Xbox whatever Nintendo will be overshadowed

still waiting for Symthony of the Night

I don't believe brand new Call of Duty games will be on the current Switch maybe old COD like Modern Warfare but the new games on the gen gen console

@MythTgr no holiday 2024

I am so ready to move on from this 2017 Switch wether it's a Switch 2 or something completely different I'm ready to move on to what's next

Likely it's just Nintendo doing business with these Japanese third parties behind the scenes

No Nintendo hates F-Zero because it doesn't sell

@johnvboy whats so wrong with the truth these problems are there in plain sight why do people ignore them

Pop in issues which I absolutely hate in games that is lazy unfinished game development along with frame rate problems

personally can't blame him Nintendo failed so hard with the Wii U and the 3DS is there worst selling handheld your going to be very skeptical

no chance PS5 was one of the most scalped consoles of all time and when Nintendo finally goes next gen holiday 2024 people will be ready to move on, the demand will be high and scalpers will be ready to bulk scalp the Switch 2

Nintendo can talk about a "smooth transition" but of they go next gen way too late like they always do then next gen will suffer

nobody is talking about where is the next 3D Mario, October this year will be 6 years since Odyssey

Incredibly weak second half line-up God I hope next gen releases first half next year

currently on chapter 6 and yes this game is still really good I enjoyed Fire Emblem GBA when it first released and still enjoying it now

I hate that Pikmin 4 is being completely slept on

Nah I've played the original and I don't Mario RPG it's as good as people hype it up to be I'd rather play Paper Mario

why is the physical copy in September? that is stupid

C tier Direct at best very underwhelming Direct

I agree not just for sales reasons but because it has horrendous pop in issues and bad frame rate where it dips into the teens in later parts of the game which is just embarrassing

2D Mario is the big game that is being heavily rumored, if true that is so boring as a November holiday game

@rushiosan same Yoshis Crafted World and Shin Megami Tensei 5 run awful on Switch and they are unreal engine exclusives

so are there multiple locations you can travel to like traditional Pikmin games or is it one huge location you explore around with Pikmin 2 caves underneath?

finally something that's not Kirby

I know there is one rumour of a "July Direct" but I'm not convinced a July Direct will happen because a September Direct is almost guaranteed so that would be way too short of a gap between big Directs

hiring for new talent to work on Prime 4 because its making little to no progress

why are people surprised? they didn't put Soul Hackers 2 on Switch, their new IP Re Fantasy isn't coming to Switch so clearly their bigger projects are not coming to Switch only smaller tier games and ports

I hope people give Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope a chance that game is criminally underrated

3D sonic is almost guaranteed to be bad where as 2D sonic is more likely going to be good except for Sonic 4 that was bad

I disagree bosses are not getting harder especially when you can just pause, heal up and gain both strength and defence buffs that makes everything easier

just found out this is $60 that is way too expensive for a few hour long 2D side scroller

Neither of them are expected to come to Switch and nobody should be surprised Soul Hackers didn't release on Switch so why would these two games?

it 2D Sonic so more likely going to be good it's the 3D Sonic games we need to be sceptical on

Nintendo can not get away with little marketing for Pikmin 4 like they did with TOTK, Pikmin struggles to sell and needs marketing time

only good game is Harvest Moon

@Tps1234 then why didn't Nintendo do a Direct last year?

@Lord i agree if next gen is 1 to 2 years away you need around 1 year or so to get ready for the reveal so Nintendo behind the scenes are likely getting next gen ready

Not a lot of confidence in Nintendo doing a normal summer Direct and I'm in that camp I'm expecting just a Partner Showcase, Pikmin 4 Direct, Pokemon Presents and some Twitter drops until September where the next big Direct will happen

@JohnnyC why is TOTK the one exception but everything else isn't? Sounds like Nintendo bias
