Comment on 'It Has Plateaued': Should We Be Worried About Console Gaming's Future?

PC is the only console I’m excited about. Switch 1 was already collecting dust and I’m still waiting for that Metroid game that was supposed to.be on the Switch. However portable devices are on the rise, like Steam Deck for instance. I’d currently rather get that than a Switch 2. we don’t even know what games S2 will have.

Metroid Dread came out a while ago.

  I think they might be talking about Prime 4, which was initially announced back in 2017. Dread wasn’t announced until 2021.

At least 3 Mario, Zelda, and Kirby games each. Maybe 1 or 2 metroids, splatoons, and megamans. At most one first party kart, party, and smash.

  The switch only had Super Mario Odyssey. I don’t count rehash with a short new bonus level. SMO was amazing, but where is SMO2?
  
  Zelda Totk is basically Botw and you just need the later to have the same map. Also both Zelda were no traditional Zelda’s, they were mostly sandbox games.
  
  Kirby was largely seen as too easy, one really has to be okay with that. I was hyped but didn’t expect it to be that easy. Left me kind of disappointed.
  
  Metroid Dread, I wish it hadn’t been a 2D platformer as there are so many of them. Most interchangeable. Looking forward M4 still.
  
  Megaman, I’m no fan of so I can’t say much about it.
  
  Splatoon is amazing and a big selling point. Same with smash, but you could just own one of the dozen different versions on a different system and would not notice.
  
  Pokémon has always been my selling point, but everyone knows the issue with those. I literally have more fun playing old DS Pokémon games, even though challenge never was their strong point.
  
  Nintendo Switch 2 is just Nintendo. While with a portable device you could play so many indie games on the go that either have expensive Switch ports or don’t exist for the Switch at all. Switch 2 is not going to change that. And yeah, I asked myself a lot if I have just outgrown Nintendo games, but truth is Nintendo changed a lot and so have their other publisher releasing for Nintendo systems. I’d not have as much fun with old games, who I have never played before otherwise.

    I just roughly answered what the switch 2 would likely have during its life based on systems past.

    Super Mario Wonder was also a big one. Critically acclaimed, too.
