I agree that even on a dying switch the games will be fine, they're always fine

I'd even be satisfied with an old shit year

it's this forum thing I'm worried about

Nah the forum will be fine. Most of us do not take this stuff so seriously.

I don't think the forum would die, I just think it would become much less fun if it becomes clear that Nintendo is quieting down until hardware in late 2024 or later

We've been at the Switch's final year since 2019 or so, you get used to it.

Now seriously, there's literally not much to go on right now. We're at the usual start of the year "Where's the games" position where we know the releases for the first couple of months but nothing beyond. From all we know there will be a direct showing another year of new games and the entire winding down thing is, either wrong, or a subjective thing because we're not getting anything TotK level. Which... is normal, because there's very little that is gonna be TotK level anyway. Maybe Prime 4*.

*Assuming we haven't been wrong all this time and turns out Prime 4 is the crossgen Switch 2 release game in 2024, which might be a thing at this rate lol

We will gave Zelda on may and potentially Pikmin in summer, 2023 may not be the biggest year for Switch releases but TotK will keep us busy for a long time (also lots of non-Nintendo games this year if you are into other systems).

With Metroid prime 4 on top of the games you mention, and the imminent Fire Emblem, it would arguably be the strongest year of the switch in terms of first party core games.
Even without Metroid, it would still be very solid I believe.
 
Never watched the show since I didn't have cable, but I've been told that I sound like the squid guy from it

I'm shocked you still have enough hopium/copium in the tank to post this.

Oh sorry I didn't know that on this forum it was forbidden to express one's opinion on something that none of us know accurate info about.

I'll probably stop posting, thanks!

See I hear you there, but there’s always more games and signs of more games. I also don’t think we are going to have a similar transition where we get an actual drought because the next round of Nintendo games should be cross gen. Some definitely ports sure, but a lot of Nintendo’s franchises don’t necessarily need more power than the Switch. The more ambitious ones sure, but even a lot of those, like the next 3D Mario I’m guessing, will be cross gen. Look to PlayStation and Xbox for the last two gen transitions and I think we can imagine a very similar thing happening with Nintendo.
 
Are we going into full pessimistic speculation again? Every January with start by saying "Nintendo has nothing this year, we'll just get a mini direct with a couple of ports and they'll announce nothing for the rest of the year" when everytime we get a nintendo direct they have at least 3 to 4 new game announcements plus updates and smaller games.
Is this what January does to people?

I suspect we'll have an old shit year cross-gen

we keep hearing about a ridiculous number of first party ports and I imagine they'll make up the filler leading to and following the next system

That’s where I disagree, there will be ports definitely (similar to PS3 to PS4 and to PS5), but I think we’ll see new games too. Like does the next Yoshi game need the Drake chip. Nah. How about Kirby, maybe not. 2D DK nope. Fire Emblem nope. Switch Sports 2, nah.

Big 3D Zelda and Xenoblade yeah for sure.

Then a direct is announced "focusing on the first half of the year" and people are "OMG they have nothing for holidays"
 
alright, a little less than 24 hours before I personally give up

I hope we hear some cool rumors within that time, or maybe get some more first grade homework
 
I’ve been saying this morning I was betting more on Wednesday this week anyway, I just really don’t care for Spongebob in general lol. Made it personally more insulting than if they tweeted nothing lol.
 
Man, I've all but given up hope on Halo after GoldenEye, but I really hope 2023 is the year we get news/a release of TimeSplitters (whether an old remaster or TS4)

same

this was more of a slap in the face than usual
 
Everyone’s incredibly doom and gloom when we literally had less to go off of going into 2020 than we do now. We knew about AC obviously, but other than that, a Wii U port and a Wii remake, with a sequel to botw somewhere off in the future, with people already thinking that was gonna be cross-gen.

The whole reason we’re expecting a smaller presence from Nintendo right now is because they’ve given us such a clear picture of the first half of the year, with major titles every month of the first quarter, and a MAINLINE ZELDA GAME IN MAY. The fact that they haven’t announced a major Direct on historically the first day of the year they may talk about news should really not be as worrisome as everyone’s making it out to be. It’s not like it’s August 2020 and we have literally NOTHING to go off of, instead, Nintendo’s laid things out nicely, marketing might say to wait until Engage is out to talk, or maybe we’ll hear about something this week, point is, we ain’t in 2016, this year’s gonna kick ass, and imo, will guaranteed leave 2018 and 2020 in the dust at the very least
 
can't wait on more games for a hobby that already has a near-infinite library to pick from

Metrod Prime is not something I expect for 2023, I would love to be wrong though. And yes, FE Engage is almost here which is another big game for this year. But even counting those 2, 2017 was IMO bigger: BotW, Odyssey, Splatoon 2, Arms, Xenoblade 2... was an amazing year with all the new entries on some of the biggest Nintendo franchises.
