Announcing a "Switch 2" early this year would hurt the Switch's future sales. I'm willing to bet $20 the next cosole will be announced in the Fall and will drop sometime December 2024. with chances it'll leak in the Summer.
In the meantime, Nintendo is going to milk the original Switch for all it's worth this year.
Whoever hosts these types of shows don't care about game Devs or even the games itself, except only the advertising and money it makes them. The whole thing's a scam.
While Lego has featured weapons in the past, such as blasters, rifles, revolvers (etc), this is the first time I've seen them promote an actual shooter game.
Lego used to have a policy of no depiction of real life guns or military sets, except when they can silently monetize it.
Never would have imaged that the fanboys of Nintendo in this chat would be so toxic towards the Zelda voice actress. Wasn't the Zelda franchise the most highly acclaimed game of the year?
While you say it's your 'opinion', it really sounds like you're all misogynist manchildren screaming of immaturity.
Let people do what they want without prejudice. I highly doubt she will be in the film and only replaced with another generic American celebrity.
I feel as though I should not be pressured into fomo and just accept that an era has ended, and be glad I was apart of it.
If I were to transferred my Pokemon from every previous Gen to Pokemon Home, I wouldn't be able to use most of them anyway, because the latest Pokemon games prohibit it (plus some moves have been deleted).
Those Pokemon would be stuck in the cloud with nowhere to go for an eternity and meanwhile I would be burning money for no point.
If the Pokemon Company were to hint that we could use nearly all the Pokemon in a future competitive game (not single player), then maybe I would spend a bit more and transfer, instead of having 'faith' in a mega corp that may or may not listen to its fanbase anymore.
Since it's likely the next gen console will backwards compatible with the Switch, and if the rumors are true, previous games will also run better through updates, making poor frame rates thing of the past.
This might explain why Nintendo still plans on releasing games that might not otherwise run well on the old Switch.
As I really want to get into these, I can't help but distant myself from Netflix, as they could cancel it after the first or second season, just like most other of their shows.
It's such a hard pain to invest into something, only to have it get discontinued later. I'll check back a couple of years.
If Switch games will be backwards compatible with the next console, along with the rumor that TotK ran at 60 fps in the [Redacted] Dev kit, then I am still confident. Who knows? Maybe all Switch games with poor performace issues will also acquire this upgrade once the new console drops.

Planned obsolescence marches on!
Re: Xbox Game Pass Really Isn't Coming To Nintendo Switch
I've never seen so many Xbox articles on a Nintendo fansite.
It's like the editors are trying to send someone a message.
Re: Disco Elysium Dev ZA/UM Reportedly Cancels Project And Is Planning Layoffs
2024's theme is basically lay-offs and the rise of AI.
Could there be a connection?! Hmm...
Re: Minecraft Reveals New Hostile Mob "The Bogged"
A mob the same, if not worse than Witches?
Just great!
Re: Octopath Traveler Studio 'Acquire Corp.' Bought By FromSoftware Owner
Does this mean we'll get a 'Souls-like' Octopath spinoff?

Re: Feature: 21 Game Boy Advance Games We'd Love To See Added To Nintendo Switch Online
Shining Soul I & II and LOTR: Return of the King were my favorite Diablo-like games growing up, although I highly doubt they'll be added.

Re: Spike Chunsoft's Annual Survey Wants To Know More About Your Gaming Interests
Just finished the survey, but I noticed something rather humorous.
There was no mention of any 'Pokemon Mystery Dungeon' when listing their games. Hmm..
Re: Spike Chunsoft's Annual Survey Wants To Know More About Your Gaming Interests
A big fan of Explorers of Time, perhaps a remake would be cool.
Re: Freedom Planet 2 Switch Release Delayed To Spring 2024
Delayed to spring 2024, I wonder why?
Switch 2 confirmed!
Re: E3 Has Been Cancelled, Permanently
The 'Game Awards' is a crappy replacement for E3 if it means cutting off game devs and directors from their speaking time during their awards.

Re: Talking Point: Which Zelda Game Should Be Adapted For The Movie?
If anything like the Mario movie, the Zelda film could be a mash-up of references to past games, memes, and Americanized humor.
Basically, there would be no plot, but I wouldn't be surprised if Ganondorf started singing to Zelda near the end.
Re: Zelda's Voice Actor Would "Love" To Reprise Her Role In The Live-Action Movie
@PtM No, just tired of the Hollywood formula.

Re: Twitch "Ending Support" For Its Switch App Early Next Year
This reminds me of the 3DS support for Netflix, back in the day.
Re: Random: Place Your Bets On How Long This Super Mario-Sampling Rap Track Stays Live
@Fangleman32 Just a saying. I'm sure there's talent in that genre, but I could never get into that kind of music.
But if I was stuck on an island, it'll be better than Country.
Re: Random: Place Your Bets On How Long This Super Mario-Sampling Rap Track Stays Live
Just like they always say:
Music is like candy, you throw away the rappers.

Re: Quake II Receives Its "First Major Update" On Nintendo Switch
This is great! However, I doubt this update will be included on the "Limited Run" physical carts..

Re: Random: Xbox Marketing Wanted To "Avoid Calling Switch A Console"
This is quite ironic seeing how this same company wants to acquire Nintendo. Projecting your own inferiority, much?

Microsoft can't even support their own Xbox properly.
