HmmmMaybe multiple sku’s
Come one material scientists, I hope to get beyond "I understood some of the words".gif in this area some day.I'm very excited for the lurking group of material physicists Nintendo fans to finally start contributing to this thread For me, I'll wait till someone actually confirms SC.
Just a thought … indeedHmmm
A little bit Bigger why not but not too heavy and most importantly… really ergonomic and playable.A bigger screen? If the machine isn’t much bigger for me fine.
More memory capacity? Thats nice for me.
I always disagree with this type of logic because the only logical thing to do with that train of logic is launch all heavy hitters day one and pad out the rest of the system with these small gamesDisagree. MK is an evergreen that will sell well the entire generation. Should be launched as early as possible, as 8 Deluxe proved.
Lol. I did laugh. Yeah everything has to spread out. We’re not getting all of Nintendo’s biggest IP’s in the first year. You can only sell so many systems. They’ll all sell out in the holiday. Space your big IP’s out after holiday 2024, 2025, 2026,I always disagree with this type of logic because the only logical thing to do with that train of logic is launch all heavy hitters day one and pad out the rest of the system with these small games
Like…? No one does this for obvious reasons.
Some good games, yes. Long-awaited sequel to one of their biggest series in the biggest sales time of the year, not always.Nintendo publishes a dozen games every year.
By that logic, they would never announce new hardware because there's always some good games releasing in the next 6 months.
SUMMARY
LAUNCH TALK
- Nate has been hearing late 2024 (Says could launch in september - early october)
- Nate has multiple developers saying they know about devkits (Last week/few Weeks)
- Thinks we will be getting a lot of chatter due to events coming up
- Nothing from GDC at all (MVG)
- Seemed pretty certain it'd launch with 3d mario (a prediction but he sounded stern lol)
- Nate has heard chatter about production in Q1
DISPLAY TALK
- Nate thinks it's going to launch with an LCD screen
- Has been told it will launch with an 8 inch LCD Screen (isn't certain calls, it informed speculation)
STORAGE TALK
- Has heard chatter about a 'fairly significant amount of internal flash memory' has heard 512GB ceiling figure (informed speculation)
GAME CARD TALK
- Thinks card format will change (3D NAND) (speculation)
BACKWARDS COMPATABILITY TALK
- Can definitely be solved for, MVG thinks they will solve for it in some way
- No new info
ANNOUNCEMENT TIMING
- Nate thinks they will wait till FY ends before they announce it
- Could be any time though
I’m expecting different SKUs.I guess my expectations are set to a minimum of 256GB now lol.
not really, he still referenced the possibility from his original videoMVG heel-face turn!
The StartMenu piece says (And the author clarified on Twitter) Nintendo will likely be unveiling the console to partners in closed rooms at Gamescom, rather than unveiling to the public formally. It's a great chance (Alongside TGS a month later) to get in a room, at the same time, as half the industry. It might be when western publishers receive dev kits and info, outside of the handful of close partners or major publishers (EA, Activision, Ubisoft) who they might make one-off exceptions for, and TGS will be the same for Japanese publishers.has any company ever revealed a new system at gamescom? It kinda feels like wishcasting because someone misses the big E3 reveals
That is a dangerous assumption lolit kinda has to be to maintain compatibility with Joycons.
Maybe 800p512 GB makes sense if you consider it to target around PS4-level graphics. Og PS4/BXO launched with 500 GB HDD.
8 inch makes sense to further distinguish it from current gen models during cross-gen transition.
At this point I would expect an higher resolution than 720p though.
They're not gonna go with a different aspect ratio than TV like Steam Deck does, and they're not gonna go with 1422x800.Maybe 800p
So it's either always 720p or 1080p?They're not gonna go with a different aspect ratio than TV like Steam Deck does, and they're not gonna go with 1422x800.
Well, I say by no means as a prediction of any kind.Maybe 800p
MVG heel-face turn!

Thanks.Hey @NateDrake, thanks so much for the podcast episode, that was great. Super happy you were able to share a bit more! Very exciting year ahead.
I have a (mostly facetious) ask of you - please tell me you've heard that third parties will be going hard on patches. Specifically, tell me that WB will patch Arkham and Rockstar will patch RDR1. Even if you have to lie to me, tell me this. /cope
Nate. As always a great podcast!We simply decided not to revisit the topic of it potentially not having BC and focused purely on what the article proposed. If (when) we get further clarity on the situation (be it good or bad), we'll revisit the topic. I've heard more on the BC in recent days but the info remains clouded.
Thanks.
As for your question: Nothing to share on that front, at the moment.
Gamescom would surprise me, as would it being shown at Nintendo Live in September.Nate. As always a great podcast!
As you guys have already speculated on this episode.
Jeff Grubb also thinks according to his sources it will be unveiled/announced around Gamescom.
How likely do you think it will be part of a Direct? Wouldnt it steal the show from all the games? Maybe a standalone announcement is more suitable?
Nate,Gamescom would surprise me, as would it being shown at Nintendo Live in September.
My opinion would be Nintendo hosts a social event for it -- much like they did Switch. But... it's Nintendo, so maybe they'll surprise in another way
I have not.Nate,
The recent podcast episode was great, as usual!
Thank you for sharing new information!
I was wondering if you have heard any information about the next Pokémon game? And if you could share some info about that?
Thank you in advance!
