It should be remembered that animal crossing and splatoon are developed by the same team internally within nintendo (EPD5). That team's main project that's coming out next year is splatoon raiders. The question is, what are they going to develop afterwards, a new animal crossing or splatoon 4? Prior to this announcement, I believed the odds to be about 50/50, but now I think it is much more likely that they will make splatoon 4 next. If this is true then it will probably take a long time for a new animal crossing to come out. I'd say 2030 at the very earliest, but it could just as easily be 2031 or 2032 depending on how long they want to take to develop these games.
My guess is there will eventually be even more. They have so many characters and machines they could do, so why not? They're just optional after all. No one has to get a single one to enjoy this game, let alone all of them, so I would actually like to see more. Especially since we've had most of these characters as amiibo before too. I'd like to see some more new characters like magolor or marx
Alright, there basically HAVE to be multiple unannounced game modes for it to be this long. There's very likely going to be a story mode based on the teaser they showed at the end last time, but I feel like there has to be at least something else. Top ride is a possibility, but I honestly hope it's something new instead. Maybe something that's also about boosting your vehicle with stat power-ups, only in a different format from city trial.
I dont get when people whine about it costing money. This is pretty much like switch 2s wii play which was also basically 10 dollars and just offered a bunch of small minigames to showcase the controller/hardware. And wii play sold massively, so why was it ok then but suddenly a problem now?
I really really want the next animal crossing to be a massive revolutionary step forward for that series. I really want it to be fully 3d, on a much bigger island/town and with much bigger height levels. Kinda making it feel more like a 3d zelda like wind waker or something, only its animal crossing! I also want much better online with way less loading. Obviously if youre visiting an island it needs to load for you, but theres no reason for everyone else thats already visiting to wait that long. It just need to work in the background for them and let them keep playing when someone else joins.
I dont want anything right away. I'll get a micro sd eventually when my system storage fills up, but I think that will take a while since I primarily buy physical games. I will also get a carrying case at some point when I can find one for cheap. Finally, I'm thinking about getting the new pro controller, but since the old controllers work with it I don't know if its really worth it.
1. In the future will more older switch 1 games get nintendo switch 2 editions than what is currently announced?
2. Can the capture button still record clips and is there any improvement on the video quality or the amount of time you can record or is it still only the last 30 seconds?
3. Can the camera be used for anything else like recording gameplay clips with your reactions or for streaming?
For anyone willing to go for these, remember you need to complete the dexes in pokemon home, not the dexes in your games. What this means is you need to have had at one point every species of pokemon from that dex stored into your pokemon home, and they need to have come originally from that game as well. A pikachu caught in sword for example will not register to your BDiamond/SPearl or Legends Arceus dexes, but only to your sword/shield and national dexes.
Another tip is that for pokemon lines that you still need to register, make sure you store a pokemon to home before evolving it and then after evolving it again. For example if you still need to register piplup, prinplup and empoleon, it would save the most time to first store piplup, then move it back and evolve it, store it again as a prinplup, move it back again and evolve and finally store it as an empoleon. Now you have all three registered. If you instead evolved to empoleon before storing to pokemon home, you would now need to get another piplup.
With this, the best thing you can do is to, right now, store all the pokemon on your game to home. Dont evolve anything else, just do this first. Now you can check your game specific home dex and see what is still missing. You can then move everything back to to your game.
First get any first-stage pokemon that you are missing. When you have all those missing ones you can store them in home to register them. Now you only have second and third stage pokemon left to register. You can move anything you want or need back to your game again.
Now focus on the second-stage pokemon. Either evolve your first-stage ones or catch the second-stage pokemon anew, whichever is easier. Make sure not to evolve to the third stage yet. Now store all the second stage pokemon you were missing and you will have those registered too. Move the ones you want or need back to your game again.
Now you will only have third-stage pokemon left, and you can just evolve (or catch if possible) those, store them, and your dex will be complete and you can claim your shiny.
I do believe the Switch OLED is the final* version of the current generation of Switch systems.
If you look at the history of Nintendo's previous handheld systems, this would be about the time for the final version of the system (not counting dsixl or new 2ds). The dsi came out 4 years after the original ds, and 2.5 years before the 3ds (japan dates). The new 3ds (xl) systems came out 3.5 years after the original 3ds and 2.5 years before the switch.
Now, the switch will be about 4.5 years old when the OLED system launches, so it would be logical to conclude that Nintendo's next generation hardware (Switch 2?) would be released about 2 - 2.5 years later. That would make that system release around holiday 2023 - early 2024.
I personally just don't see Nintendo release a Switch "pro" or "new" Switch type system in between that time. Unless the Switch somehow would get a much larger life cycle than previous systems, but I don't see why that would be the case.
*It is possible they will release a new sort of weird unexpected model like the dsixl or new 2ds some time after Switch OLED, but would not really be an upgrade.

Re: Capcom Teases Brand New amiibo For Monster Hunter Stories 3, Here's A Look
The big ones look like they'd be €30 to me, and the small one might maybe just be €20. In dollars it would then be $40 and $30

It sounded like Fi's theme from skyward sword at the end with the construct. Could Fi be in this as a new construct?

So glad I watched the UK version. I hate it when they dub miyamoto in the US one

Re: Talking Point: With 'Switch 2' Coming, Will Switch Get A Price Cut?
I think when Switch 2 comes out the prices should be:
-
Switch Lite: $150
Switch: $200
Switch OLED: $250
Switch 2: $400
And maybe a more expensive deluxe version for 450 or 500
