For the record I still think this year is decently likely, just like next year. I'm just kinda making the devil's advocate argument since I've seen for like 2 years now people saying "it's obviously next year" based on nothing besides this year being 1/4 to 1/2 over.
Yes, you put it better than I did!
back on neogaf, people didn't have a high expectation of Nintendo and HD development
it won't be. this is one of those "add effect for instant next gen" like bloom in the early 360 era or particles in the early xbo/ps4 era. devs are already getting smart about how to use RT, but mobile devs don't have a best practice case yet
no need to hope, it absolutely will. a lot of these tech demos overdo the effect to make it more obvious.
Oh yeah, I hadn't thought of that. It's a good point. That was also my only concern with BC, it was the cartridge as well, other than that there's no doubt in my mind they will come up with a reasonable solution.
With the comment from that dev on era that kits are out there, but seemingly not super widespread, 2024 looks increasingly like the safest option. Probably still in the earlier waves, but beyond the only 1st party and key Japanese pubs stages. I was starting to lean towards 2025 based on AB not having specs/kits, but I feel pretty comfortable about 2024 at this point.
it's time to make a new one and tie in your NIntendo account since that's what Nintendo and Universal's plan is
I’m not familiar with the source, but I don’t have to be, since I already know Switch NG’s performance
Know, as in know know?
God, I wish. I do work in the theme park industry though.
Hmmm… Wouldn’t say the bolded part is true at all. 7 and 8 changed the gameplay a lot. 7 introduced gliding and underwater driving. It also had a VR Mode and more items in use at a time (Lucky 7). 8 introduced antigravity AND the engine allowed them to defy physics - On the Mario Circuit Mobius Strip, realism would determine that the vehicles fall when you’re upside down, but you can drive and use items while you’re in that position on the course, maintaining the sense of speed. It also allowed camera manipulation because the camera follows the kart from the back, and in real-time gameplay, you would think you’re playing a regular track the right way around. However, when you watch the replay, that’s when you realise you were upside down!! Another example of this is on Shy Guy Falls - Realism would determine that the force of the currents send you backwards and overpower you. But on this course, there’s a point where you’re driving UP a waterfall, again at speed, and where you can get boosts with the antigravity mechanic. Once more, the player might not immediately notice this in real-time play, as one is naturally preoccupied with trying to win the race to pay attention to such details, but seeing it on the replay blows my mind. There are many details like this littered throughout the game, and the sum of these intricacies bring new dimensions to the gameplay.
And all that is neat, but is nothing compared to the changes of the loz series or the Mario series imo.
Hm?
I played a lot of Mario Kart on N64 more than 20 years ago, then never touched another MK again.
hopefully not for Carowinds 0_o
Twitter doesn't need any help from Nintendo to flatline
That briefing didn't tell us anything, though and their forecast wouldn't really be hurt all that much, since a successor releasing this Holiday would likely sell at most 5 million units (not to mention that that forecast is gonna be revised, like it always does).
Miiverse coming back for Switch 2!
They are not going to announce new hardware at their financial briefing (they use dedicated presentations or trailers for this), they just showed a trend of slowing Switch sales and then flat out said their current projections (that indicate slow down) don’t include new hardware, that doesn’t mean that this won’t be complemented by a new system that will be sold alongside the Switch.
problaby like the original
well at TGA 2023, Nintendo could hint at they next gen console, do a teaser or a reveal and 2-3 months later do a similar presentation they did with Switch, revealing most of the crucial information we need to know about the console and then 2-4 months later theres it launch or not.
When u made that post, I was primarily thinking of ports or remakes of older games. Totk, botw, maybe LA, TP, WW, Oot, etc, and smaller new games.
with the second half of the year already crowded, i higly doubt, Switch 2, whatnever is gonna launch this year
Based on even the optimistic leaks (i.e. the spanish devs having access to a Switch 2 devkit ) and assuming they've had it for a while, it still takes time to develop a game, even if they already started on PC hardware mocking specs of the new device.
Metroid 6 for Switch sucessor maybe
they first have to give a shit about the TGA
theres was a lot of Switch 1 games anounced for this holiday, making this holiday season very crowded
Nintendo doesn't really need 2d metroid to launch a new console ngl. Would not be as impressive as metroid prime 4 from a marketing standpoint. Is there some rumour about 2d metroid launching with switch that I missed?
????
maybe, dont forgot Nintendo made us rebuy all our Virtual Console games in the Wii-Wii U generation
except you didn't have to to play them. the VC this is more like paying to upgrade your ps4 game to the ps5 version
It’s because people bend like reeds in the wind when it comes to what they believe is possible based solely on the current consensus. I’ve been “2023, 2024 at the latest” since… I’m gonna say late 2021? And I’m sticking to that until the end of this month. Past that, I think I’d have to concede to 2024.
People seem to forget that Switch’s first 3 months of 1st-party software were downright anemic. A cross-gen game (BotW), an enhanced late port (MK8D) and a casual game that people were kinda meh about (1-2 Switch).
