That GTA cover is nightmare fuel for life.my "attempts" at making some ai mockups
I asked for Switch 2 gamebox with MH6 and GTA6, I got those instead.
You mean for the Switch Pro that was likely originally planned but was scrapped? That’s an entirely different beast. I’m not sure there’s much reason for us to doubt them, especially considering that Nintendo already has a pretty decent lineup for the first half of next year (that'll only get further filled out with an eventual February Direct).
The lede you buried: Nintendo would prefer to release as early as possible.
I never said November. In fact, my argument has been a reveal in March with a release in September. As for the Eurogamer quote, they said exactly…
…which could just mean earlier than November (likely for the reason you mentioned). The fact that Nintendo still has some cards left to play for the Switch 1 based on various rumors is an even bigger indication that the Switch 2 won’t be until the second half of the year (albeit a little earlier in said second half).
This has also been my argument, although I’m not sure if I mentioned this on Era or Discord. Either way, leaving November open for Pokémon would be another valid reason for Nintendo to launch the Switch 2 earlier within the second half of next year.
Apparently it is according to Eurogamer, who have industry sources (at least 3 separate ones being needed for them to run an article).
why are you arguing all of this to me? I think it's just as likely H1 2025 as H1 2024. all I'm trying to illustrate is that appeals to the authority of reputable gaming news are absurd
So more remasters and remakes for another year from this point forward? Yikes.
Dall-E 3 is insane. This is what AI thinks Metroid Prime 4 on the Nintendo Switch 2 will be:
Imagine if I posted “Metroid Prime 4 leaked concept art” with these images…
I mean, they’re at least several steps above the usual rumor monger as you see on Twitter. And as I said earlier, Eurogamer specifically needs at least three separate sources before they run an article.
Pretty much, yeah. That’s what happens when we’re in that transitionary period between Nintendo systems. At least this time there won’t be a drought.
Nintendo should call their next system the PlayStation 6Even though I enjoy all consoles, the Sony offerings are not my favorites to be completely honest.
But the naming convention of the PlayStation is honestly genius, and it is something that Nintendo and Microsoft should take note.
Naming the consoles PS1, PS3, PS3, PS4 and now PS5 is just simple and elegant. No confusion for both enthusiastic gamers and casual gamers. Very marketable, and an important part of its success.
And guess what? They will use the name PS6 for their next console, and it will work better than any other name they could think of.
Just look the confusing Wii and Wii U names. Or the Xbox One X and Xbox Series X. It's a mess.
I think Nintendo should do a numbered sequel, but my idea is not to use just a 2 but a 2.0 so they can add intermediate versions... for example, a mid-gen refresh could be called Switch 2.5 or something like that.
But that’s what makes it extremely unlikely though.
in practice, are they? I never got my switch pro last year
Nah, March reveal & September release.
Again…
If that’s the case, I guess they’ll start a little later in the year for production.
I mean, yeah. Like I said, the Switch Pro was mentioned by the likes of Digital Foundry as being planned but scrapped.
interesting, maybe this next one will be scrapped too
Like I said, wouldn’t there be more smoke by now if the system was coming that soon?
Nah, it’s too late for that. Not to mention that the Switch 1 is running out of gas. Remember, Eurogamer were the first to leak the NX itself.
We don’t even know about backwards compatibility. Not to mention the lack of any concrete details on CPU, storage, or (if you only look to Eurogamer & VGC) RAM.
Nate Said it's not coming a few pages back, the dream is dead
I think he might be looking for smoke signals from native Americans telling us Switch 2 is on the way
They're memeing on the user they responded to who has a fixation on August as the month of all big things happening for Nintendo's next-gen
What a way of continuing the argument XD
my point is that your confidence is misplaced. I can't spell it out any further than that
It’s absurd because we ARE getting all sorts of smoke.
I meant storage type, to be clear.
I don’t disagree on BC, but there are mixed messages from the reputable folks that has yet to be cleared up. As for the CPU, while that wouldn’t surprise me, I don’t recall it being mentioned by the Nvidia leak or the gaming news sites.
I feel what he means is that apart from a quote of an article that they say nintendo "could want" to release it earlier than expected and the uncle ( if i understand correctly) there is not much people pushing the rumor of the inminent start of the production, considering everybody is paying attention to this new system we have few less people talking about the production being soon that we have seen when other relevant information about the switch 2 is brought up
My understanding is that it was the only CPU that fits the bill (don't recall the reasoning but people here smarter than me walked through the possible CPU choices, reached A78C by process of elimination). A78C also happens to be a chip that is well-suited for AAA gaming.
Nah I think square is done with nintendo at least with big releases , you will get your small games like octopath and triangle strategy type games but the big games you will most likely not see them on switch also when they did try with stuff like kh3 they had to do a cloud version and they got a ton of shit for that. Stuff like ff7 rebirth is literally on 2 discs so no way are they going to fit that on a cartridge
Whichever happens first, I'll be a very happy boy. And happier once the 2nd item is released.
Understandable, so it’s basically process of elimination. Like I said, that wouldn’t surprise me.
Then, what about all the other stuff Nintendo still has to announce for the Switch 1? Even putting aside all the rumors, they still have enough for one more general Direct before the Switch 2 reveal.
nvidia github, if I remember correctly
Genuinely... like what? One year of remasters and remakes is bad.
