Yeah I think that was from the early Twitter quoting which was confusing in a lot of ways. The later reports cleaned it up as far as I can tell.Thank you for the quote, for some reason I remembered him saying "I", not "we", but clearly I was wrong.
As oldpuck says the existence of any would've also come up in discovery of course.

I don‘t see them waiting longer than two months after a Switch 2 direct. If they do it in June 2024, the console would launch in August at the latest. Nintendo uses directs usually for the immediate future.Spring 2024 - Hardware reveal trailer

Q4 2023 - Switch 2 Launch
The recent incident with Metroid Prime Remastered is not proof of any long-term "salt" within the company, and could simply be company policy.
My counterargument to said "salt": Why is the Super Mario RPG Remake an actual thing?

Fixed it for you
If the Switch 2 is revealed officially next month - I’ll buy it for you on launch along with every launch game.

with the way chips are developed, don't think they can get anything oldSide Want
Hope we get a better WiFi chip along with an updated OS/eShop cause download speeds are atrocious, and this could be a nice upgrade for the new model.
In theory the current chip shouldn’t be as bad as it is, but we all know how that goes.with the way chips are developed, don't think they can get anything old
Just watched a battery comparison for the three current Switch models and the OLED got just shy of 6 hours of TotK gameplay on a single charge. That’s way better than I expected, wonder if the successor could get close to that?
Yeah obviously, though they mainly feature games that come out not to long after the direct and share updates about lowkey stuff that is only relevant in a soonish future. The way they use this format is for games releasing within half a year. I think if they do a "games blowout" for Switch 2 they will do it in a different style than a regular direct.Not really accurate. Directs are usually for the next 6 months with the odd tease for things a bit further ahead.
They just revealed Mario Wonder and it’s out in October - not August.
Nintendo and Square(-Enix)'s relationship has been better ever since the GBA era. They not only released a then-exclusive Final Fantasy (Crystal Chronicles), but also re-released all the old FFs on GBA, and even released FFTA. (I should also mention Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga even got a Geno cameo!)Nope. The original developers were credited in Zelda Skyward Sword HD. The original staff not being credited in Prime Remastered is not company policy.
Nintendo's relationship with Square Enix was not good years ago, but has improved immensely over the years thanks to their support on 3DS and Switch. Plus, Nintendo was the publisher for Super Mario RPG, even though Square developed the game, it is entirely owned by Nintendo. Just like Bayonetta is developed by Platinum Games, it is Sega who owns the IP and Nintendo being the publisher owns the rights specifically to Bayonetta 2 and 3.
Yeah hopefully battery life is of low importance to them for the base Switch 2. Focus on everything else, then improve the battery life in subsequent models after launch.Not unless the successor is very very weak.
Batteries didn't improve very much, the later Switch models just use much less electricity. The expectation is that those electricity gains (and more electricity gains from further processor development) will be used to make the CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage better for gaming.
And better Wi-Fi antennae placement. A better Wi-Fi chip alone doesn't solve Wi-Fi reception issues.Side Want

judging by the comments in thier new shareholder Q&A i feel, a early 2025 launch is more likely than holiday 2024 since they want to avoid any shortages this time around.
I feel like that's cutting it way too close.judging by the comments in thier new shareholder Q&A i feel, a early 2025 launch is more likely than holiday 2024 since they want to avoid any shortages this time around.

The big leap in battery life that the OLED Switch got is much much much less likely for [redacted]. So whatever battery life you get at launch, that's the battery life you're getting for a whileYeah hopefully battery life is of low importance to them for the base Switch 2. Focus on everything else, then improve the battery life in subsequent models after launch.
First off, that looks kind of impractical. Second, is that AI?
Some speculation on the new joycons shape described by the Factory uncle
The Switch wifi chip was iirc also used on some flagship LG phones around the time Switch released, so Nintendo likely went with a lower cost option and did not go out of its way to find old or bad chips.In theory the current chip shouldn’t be as bad as it is, but we all know how that goes.
It’s also hard to know how much is the chipset vs just the crap eshop implementation in an other wise snappy OS.

feels like a timing issue. now whether Nintendo keeps it open or not is the question. I think they will for devs that want to use itHow likely is it that next gen can support HDMI 2.1 for 120hz games, considering the OLED dock supports 2.0? I'm thinking if next gen could support either 40hz or uncapped framerates beyond 60, that would be sick.
Of course, it's also likely that Nintendo won't do that for the sake of keeping options within games simple, but I really do wonder about that.

Third: Hi Marc!First off, that looks kind of impractical. Second, is that AI?
Will it support HDMI 2.1? Probably. T239 uses DisplayPort, the dock then converts that to HDMI. They'll use whatever chips are cheap to get at the time, and that is probably a 2.1 chip, as the spec is nearly 2 years old.How likely is it that next gen can support HDMI 2.1 for 120hz games, considering the OLED dock supports 2.0? I'm thinking if next gen could support either 40hz or uncapped framerates beyond 60, that would be sick.
I could see Nintendo keeping a vandetta when Yamauchi was president, but maybe he eased up a bit right before he left since SA2 coming to GCN and SE bringing games to the GBA were greelit before he left.This narrative that Nintendo keeps vendettas was also largly disproven during the GameCube era: Of all the consoles that got the Sonic Adventure remakes, it was Nintendo's platform that got dibs on it, not to mention F-Zero GX is also a thing. And not even a generation past, Sega and Nintendo were very fierce competitors....
If it's allowed some indie dev will do 120hz just because they can
What is?Okk it's official
I mean, as a final point to the argument, if they've been holding on to resentment, wouldn't they block the release of Sony's MLB The Show on Switch?I could see Nintendo keeping a vandetta when Yamauchi was president, but maybe he eased up a bit right before he left since SA2 coming to GCN and SE bringing games to the GBA were greelit before he left.
