It is referring to Nintendo, though.

As I've said before.

If he meant Direct, he'd probably say Direct. The intentional vagueness makes me think it might GENUINELY be hardware.

Especially since Grubb has claimed 2022 for the hardware multiple times.

Feel free to shoo me off to the hardware speculation thread.
 
a direct after splatoon 3 launch sound really convincing.

hopefully this one delivers to everyones hopes and dreams.

i’m still believer of new fire emblem, metroid prime 1 remaster, zelda hd ports and botw2 as mayor first party announcements.

kinda weird to reply to someone and then talk about their intentions in the third person, no?

Ehhhh. I'm not sure. I don't see the hardware being this year. And if igs early next year, they won't announce it before the holiday season.

Why wouldn't they? More time to market it. Demand for Switch is still more than supply. Getting some people to hold out this Holiday season to buy a more expensive one later would sell more consoles overall. Reducing demand to what supply can cope with would be a good thing for them!
 
You know what? It's only a day, so I'm just gonna stop speculating for now, and if it's announced tomorrow, it's the 1st, if it's not, it's the 13th

Yeah, this.
We just need to wait less than 24 hours and then we'll get our answers.

Generally these revisions are announced closer to launch exactly to not harm sales of the existing models
 
Bro, where did the time go? Feels like yesterday, when we finally accepted that there won't be a summer/E3 direct. Now it's about time for the fall direct.

Xenoblade 3 really gulped a whole month just like that.

Once again, with demand outstripping supply there aren't any additional sales to harm. Regardless of the news around it, Nintendo Switch sells faster than they can be made.

I've claimed 2022 for what hardware? Switch Pro? I've never "claimed" that. I've speculated like everyone else when asked about it on my podcasts. But I've never ever made substantiated claims about Switch Pro because I've never had any details about that.

I swear people just hear what they want to hear from you (and other games journalists) sometimes.

Jeff Grubb may not have claimed 2022 for new hardware, but I have!

Hi, I'm Saul Goodman. Did you know that you have rights? The Terms of Service say you do! You deserve a Switch Pro fast, and with the best legal counsel money can buy, it'll be yours! Not in 18 months, not in 12 months, but in only two months! That's more than half a year sooner than the other guys.

If you need better framerates now, don't call NateDrake or Jeff Grubb. Instead, you'd better call Saul! Better call Saul Goodman!
 
Though it's obviously fair to question information, immediately jumping to outright antagonize a member like this is rude and unnecessary. Additionally, handwaving the impact of the pandemic is in exceptionally poor taste. - Aurc, hologram, Harina

I feel like this wording is intentionally obtuse.

Though, there was a Tweet in 2021 that stated that "2022" was "heard" for the "4K" Switch.

Claiming to hear a rumour is a claim.

If you had no details, why would you have tweeted that to begin with?



"Personally heard 2022", right there. So have you heard 2022 for it or not is the question.

My duderoni, that was a year ago when the pandemic was still raging.

Grubb is quickly finding out why most Nintendo insiders ran away from the community.

I feel like asking about a Tweet they're now contradicting is pretty reasonable, if they want to run away from it I won't stop them, of course, but it's odd.
