Figured we'd still be on that. Voting for Switch 2nd.
I found this, would be nice if it's true:
Reveal:
Adding further credibility to the theory that we could get Switch 2 news from Nintendo itself in the very near future are the reports that a new Nintendo Direct presentation is being prepared. An online tipster has indicated it will be held between September 11 and 15. This digital event would come just before the Tokyo Game Show, an annual tradeshow held in Nintendo’s home country. This would be the perfect opportunity for new hardware to be showcased. It’s scheduled to kick off on September 21, and Nintendo is already confirmed to be in attendance.
Nintendo Switch 2 release date just tipped in new report — and it's earlier than expected
Industry analyst believes Switch 2 will surface next yearwww.tomsguide.com
Launch:
Currently, the general opinion is that Nintendo might launch a Switch 2 or NG Switch in the second half of 2024. However, this recent report from TechInsights, along with a previous third-party forecast that also stated the likelihood of an earlier launch, points to a potential Nintendo Switch 2 release date falling in the first half of 2024. More specifically, the prediction here is for a March or April release, which would help Nintendo make ground on Sony in terms of global console shipments.

The second part is worth considering as a counterpoint to the H2 launch rumors (though it seems more like an "industry expectation" from TechInsights rather than real info), but the first part isn't. Directs have nothing to do with hardware reveals, especially not the regularly scheduled September Direct, likely to happen at the exact same time this year as it did last year.I found this, would be nice if it's true:

Though I would fear the constant surveillance.
Hardware slash fanfiction
100% true fact, I didn't know that the Wii U wasn't a Wii add-on until after the Switch was announced.
Orin's variants (AGX, NX, Nano) are all the same chip, physically. When they come off the line, there will be flaws in wafer that will inevitably make some subcomponent unusable on some of the chips. Rather than trash the whole chip, they use a laser to disable access to that part of the hardware, and then sell the lower-powered chip at a lower cost.
Small, but yes, I think there is a chance. Even if it isn't IN the direct... Directly, it could be briefly before, and this is a cross gen direct. Briefly afterwards, with a mention of a "special announcement" in the direct. Or indeed within the direct itself. Wouldn't be the first time hardware with more processing power was revealed in a Direct. Definitely the first time for a new generation, but I don't think that's all that substantial a difference. The calibre of game between 3DS and New 3DS exclusive was basically generational.
If there is slash in this thread, it isn't safe for work!
It's not exactly that, it's Price fixing that is forbidden (it's why they talk price when it's on their store). There's a price of course, it's in the agreement.
Missed out on the entire Wii U era after not realising for years it wasn't just an updated Wii model with a touchscreen controller (honestly even the TV ads put so much focus on using the pad that it just looked like a new controller setup), it didn't help there wasn't much in the way of promoting the titles aside from the Xenoblade X edition box on the Tesco shelves, and apart from the Mario Kart, Just Dance mat or Wii Sports attachments you'd take out during a family night or house party, the Wii itself wasn't a serious gaming console
When you've got the marketing emphasizing the new gamepad showing off similar looking games to the Wii, similar looking accessories on store shelves,, the 'u' icon being this rinky dink thing next to the very prominent 'Wii' logo, similar design language between the Wii's controls and the tablet, the console itself being tucked away and looking similar to a horizontal Wii... I'm not exactly surprised there was brand confusion.
Even retailers messed up.
Nintendo would need to mess up significantly to achieve this level of confusion. I don't think a new Switch would be confused as a tablet accessory. If it were named something like Switch 4K, consumers may initially see it as an optional upgrade not necessary if they don't own 4K TVs / played handheld. But I think people are more likely to purchase upgraded mobile devices every year than stationary consoles. I think a worse move is shipping a console that looks, smells, and functions like a Switch but is called something else entirely.
I think someone should forward that picture to the Embracer Group/THQ Nordic etc. to make them realize that they are not that far away from what was former THQ at that time.
The Nintendo Directs for Japan on 29 August 2014, Oceania on 14 September 2014, and the Americas and Europe on 14 January 2015, for the New Nintendo 3DS and/or New Nintendo 3DS XL.
New Nintendo 3DS! Not a new generation, but certainly more power, new gimmicks, and more features. Would they do this for a whole new generation? I don't know, but Directs get a LOT of eyeballs, and the current CEO is firmly a business minded individual. Given it seems like a decent idea, it's possible that they will.
Say it is porn... Or the Pereyra guy Palmeiras is said to be negotiating with. It will give you a smaller headache.
Maybe as Twitter, given that's up for grabs. /jFamiboards should rebrand
Maybe I dreamt this but I remember this video from E3 2016 with Reggie in front a yellow animated background referencing the NX would will be unveiled later in the year when talking about the platforms Zelda BOTW would eventually release on. I've spent a good 30 minutes trying to find it but no luck. I'll keep digging.
Personally, I consider special editions of already released hardware model(s) (e.g. Mario Red Edition OLED model) to be quite different from new hardware models (e.g. New Nintendo 3DS lineup).
The risk with Switch 4K is that it communicates that the reason to get one is to play Switch games in 4K - and, conversely, implying that there's no need to upgrade if you're not worried about 4K. (Some of us are still happy with 1080p TVs.)
After announcing NX in 2015, Nintendo had said publicly they wouldn't be talking more about it until 2016. In April 2016, they announced that it would be released in March 2017 and that the then-unnamed BotW would get a simultaneous release on it. Then it was radio silence until the day before the reveal in October.
True. Switch 2 is a future-proofed name that avoids the consumer confusion of 'What's the different between Switch Advance and Switch Ultra?" down the line. Like how the Xbox naming scheme is kind of a mess (360 -> One -> Series). Admittingly Xbox's marketing does a better job of communicating a next-gen console so I'm not ruling anything out.
It should be called Nintendo Switch Wonder

They can make the same sort of attention with a special press event, like they did with Switch. In fact, an announcement outside their usual schedule is guaranteed to bring in even more attention.
Nintendo WR64
This actually isn't bad. I mean it is bad, but it does the job of saying "these things are connected" while at the same time saying "this is a distinct product".
