I'm a strong believer in a september direct, but I'm guessing there will be some news through Twitter in the very least before that.
mazi added star topic taga moderator edited my OP and I have absolutely zero clue what changed
ahhh of course, my mistakemazi added star topic tag
it's bullshit, but I believe itI'm under the impression and it accelerated since yesterday, that it's widely accepted the new switch is gonna be revealed in the next weeks.
Is that right or we gearing for a new emotional trainwreck?
Because I wrote off 2022 a while ago, don't put me in the back in the mood for nothing!
One thing I’d say, regardless of when new hardware drops, is the original Switch has a very strong back of the year already lined up and I strongly suspect 2023 will be another very strong year overall. Switch will not be abandoned the same way Wii and Wii U were before, during, and after an inevitable hardware transition. The engagement of the Switch audience remains strong and the install base of the next console will not develop quite as quickly as demand will far outstrip supply. I expect Nintendo will themselves also have their first real cross gen period between the Switch and the next Switch.Is something wrong with me? The possibility of new hardware makes me super nervous and not excited. Nintendo has such good thing going with the Switch and it almost has everything I want, but I'm afraid there will be a lack of backward compatibility, there will be Switch "'''pro'''' exclusive games, etc.
I feel like we JUST got the OLED. With the hassle of any new hardware launch post-2020, I just have a lot of anxiety about what "new hardware" could mean for Nintendo.
I'm in a one-person bubble that doesn't care about the graphical performance of AAA games at all as long as they 'work,' and has never docked my Switch, so I may just be the extreme minority...
There's a difference between widely accepted and it being a distinct possibility.I'm under the impression and it accelerated since yesterday, that it's widely accepted the new switch is gonna be revealed in the next weeks.

It was posted in the other thread but this was the reason this thread was made.
people wanted a direct thread for this monthPlease don't tell me that this tweet alone was the basis for the creation of this thread. I thought there was more smoke lol.
Pretty much this.it's bullshit, but I believe it
I hope I'm wrong, but unless any of the usual reliable insiders have anything to say, I don't think anything will happen in July.
I admire your positivity.i give it 48 hours before the thread goes to hell
This gotta be the overall forum mantrait's bullshit, but I believe it
yeah but like a sympathetic yeahIt re-begins.
I'm so tired though
(But that's a chronic illness thing not a speculation thing)
It already happened, but Miyamoto changed everything all over again and now it’s a french "film d’auteur".Cant wait for Mario Movie trailer event!!!
There is smoke tnks to that inventory info, which has been widely discussed on the new Switch HW thread. I believe there are some comments by NateDrake other than his twit that one could consider as an indication of a nearby reveal of the new product (but he clearly isn't openning anything new about that at the moment)Please don't tell me that this tweet alone was the basis for the creation of this thread. I thought there was more smoke lol.
At the very least, I think we get a Metroid Prime 1 HD reveal this month. I don't see Nintendo waiting until September to reveal it.
Nate retweeted his October 2021 podcast to reiterate he has nothing new to say since the new Switch talk heated up again due to the inventory talk. He said he won't be commenting on it , noting it may or may not be relevant. My take is nothing has changed really from what he's heard since late last year, so still a likely 2022 or early 2023 release and devkits have been out for some time.Please don't tell me that this tweet alone was the basis for the creation of this thread. I thought there was more smoke lol.
yeah but an appreciation yeah buddyyeah but like a sympathetic yeah
I can totally relate to this, even as a publicly Direct-obsessed person. Pikmin 3 Deluxe getting announced on a random summer afternoon was really nice, as was Paper Mario.I gotta say that even though I'm that person, (The "E3 is Christmas, I miss it so much, General Directs are big parties, community events and highlights" person) I've started to look at "piecemeal marketing" more favourably now these last few days.
Like, something like a Twitter drop has its neat benefits. It's kind of fun when something like a Xenoblade Direct or an Origami King announcement just ... happens. It's a pleasant surprise, and each announcement gets its time in the sun.
Dunno if it's Stockholm syndrome talking, but was thinking about it.

I have nothing against a new speculation thread. The title and the poll threw me off because I legitimately thought there was a hardware reveal event scheduled for this month.people wanted a direct thread for this month
oh, sorryI have nothing against a new speculation thread. The title and the poll threw me off because I legitimately thought there was a hardware reveal event scheduled for this month.
Direct, twitter drop, Morse code - I don't care how they do it, I just want Nintendo to announce Metroid Prime Remake.

Hey, maybe your thread is going to will it into existence.oh, sorry
There is no reasonable doubt that it exists after the Nvidia leak. There is some debate about timeframe, although I think the reasonable range is a fair bit smaller than some seem to think.Ok, it was strange seeing the board being hyped about it these past days while there was a lot of pushback about the console even existing outside of the tech thread.Thought I was missing something.
