lol, go take this yeah from me.him??
As multiple people mentioned, this is also the first time Nintendo has only had one platform in the market. It's a critical position for them, though I do find interesting how NV2 ended up leaking the actual hardware from hell and back but we still don't know a single thing about the software, cryptic confirmations of third party games aside. They must be cooking good for so much secretism out there.We are in an interesting time, Nintendo has never been this secretive of a new generation before. Usually we have a codename and a general release window well in advanced. My only two theories on why this cycle is different is because the Switch is still selling so well with no reason to stifle that momentum with a switch 2 announcement, or new gen hardware is further out than we think. No matter what I do believe 2024 will be the year for an announcement, hopefully sooner rather than later.
Plus, it might be important to remember every single studio that has gotten a hold of this thing has praised it like there's no tomorrow too, Nate himself utilizing the words "delightful" and "impressive" to describe the insider reception. Even graphic guys like Digital Foundry have openly expressed their excitement for it, going as far as claiming Nintendo has surpassed all of their expectations so far. Last time I heard this amount of praise for an unreleased system, it was the PS5...
Like, the hype's real people, one hell of a next gen is coming.
