I had no clue that the confirmation of a special edition OLED would confirm the rumor that a new switch(be it a pro or whatever) is coming soon too

That's because it happened only a handful of hours ago

To be fair (not that SH2 deserves "fair", since they operate entirely within the realm of plausible deniability lol), they did say "new switch console"

Let's face it though, we all know they were talking about a Switch Pro/2

I don't think a Switch, but "more powerful this time" will have any trouble getting people to buy it. Especially with recent conversations being dominated by complaints about the Switch's "lack of power."

tbh, Takahashi laughted about Switch Pro in 2017.


Past Nintendo hardware did not go for specs alone, but placed an importance on balancing it along with new gameplay methods. Have you taken into account the performance of competing companies’ gaming hardware and PCs this time?

Takahashi: Our main focus was with the implementation of the Switch’s core concept: how it would switch from playing in TV Mode, to Tabletop Mode, to Handheld Mode. It had to be graphically capable enough in TV Mode, but it had to be capable of playing in handheld mode for long enough as well. We made it an important goal of ours to find a good balance between those two aspects, so I think our team had a much different mindset than that of other companies.

It certainly seems so. A console focused entirely on maximizing its graphics would probably only last 30 minutes on the go.

Takahashi: If it even lasted that long (laughs).
 
I just wanna send a big hug to the whole Fami because the discussion and atmosphere is great here.

I made the mistake of reading other forums' takes on today and....nope, won't happen again 🤡.

fools as they are, they don't know about muncle

and ironically most naysayers put more stock into this shit than we do
 
Damn Forspoken really taking the hit.

That trailer leak and crowed schedule made this one push back an entire yeah.

Probably will end up being the best thing to happen tho. Will see better ends on January I feel. But still, seeing it get a great first reveal reception to now, feels like it could’ve gone very bad In the date jr was releasing before being pushed to next year
 
So, to clarify, is the rumor that Drake will be announced and released in 2022? Or just announced in 2022? And the announcement is pegged for September, correct?

The latter would make a lot of sense if its linked with Zelda.
 
Seeing that Splatoon 3 is getting a Pro Controller is making me jealous. I'd love a new Xenoblade pro controller :cry:

Announced and released in 2022. Don't put too much stock into the September announcement idea.

100% for the best.

January is the perfect release month for such a title, and it would have been Ghostwire Tokyo'd in October unless it reviewed super high.
 
I haven't figured out the funcle/muncle stuff and at this point it's probably too late for me to try
 
Okay real talk

I'm probably not gonna buy any Switch-related accessories or hardware until Drake but I gotta say those joycons are fuckin gorgeous

I've been getting some old school hype on these forums since joining. Other forums killed it for me for years, and you all have reignited it in just a few days!

Good. A new edition of the OLED Model that now paves the way entirely for the Switch 4K/DLSS model.
Surely that's coming, right?... Right?...
 
So after making an attempt to read through this thread, it sounds like, at worst, we'll see the Drake in action at some point this year. I'm not buying the 2022 release, but we'll at the very least get a reveal. That's good enough for me.

They're not nuking their holiday sales, especially not with how Switch is doing numbers AND with a new Pokemon game coming up.

If they announce it in calendar year 2022, it releases in calendar year 2022.

Which makes all the speculation before hand even more insane lol. This is all very lighthearted even though I find it very hard to discuss what is happening because it's impossible to keep up
 
My launch switch is still holding up okay, but sometimes I wonder if there's a problem. Recently, when playing 3 Hopes, the fan goes into overdrive and then suddenly stops. I don't want to bother with repairs (if it needs them) so I hope it lasts until the next thing, whenever that is.

The funny thing is that my 3DS, which is obviously older, still works perfectly fine.
 
Actually the Drake being shown this year but not released means that it will be shown at The Game Awards, like Xbox Series X was. Nintendo will finally be a part of Summer Game Fest.
 
Out of curiosity - do we still think some sort of a direct or trailer drop is possible for next week?
There's still the thing about splatoon tournament(?) skipping next weekend and all that, right?

Disagree that it would nuke sales. We're reaching a point of diminishing returns with console sales; at this point, the people interested in buying a Switch are either families that won't have any idea that the Pro even exists, or people that have been waiting for a Pro anyway. Anyone caught in between has almost certainly jumped on the Switch bandwagon at this point.

Where the money will be made for Nintendo is software, and they've got Pokemon coming out. They can announce whatever they want and they'd still dominate the holiday frame.

Everything is possible, just don't expect anything on Monday.
