    Good gods! Already? Could they not have prepped us for this with an announcement like last month?

      It would have killed xmas hardware sales so no

  “Nintendo WILL announce the Switch 2 in March. Everything I’m hearing dating back to Gamescom last year has indicated something was happening in March. That talk has resurfaced in the past few weeks, and it is indicating that the Switch 2 is set for a reveal or an announcement in March.”

  That’s from the same RELIABLE leaker from a year ago and that’s just the first one I saw. The amount of leakers who claimed it would get announced over the last year is comically large. I guess if you post this once a week eventually you’ll be right. I mean, yeah an announcement seems likely at this point but there’s no need to bring Randomguess McGee into the conversation.

    Plans can change in the course of a year. At the time, that probably was their plan, and that it didn’t happen doesn’t make it a guess. We’re hearing this same reveal on the 16th from multiple corroborating sources at this point.

    Tom Warren from the verge is also saying that it’ll be this week, so that gives this leak a lot of credibility imo.

  • 50MYT@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Nintendo themselves confirmed that the console will be released in 2025.

    So half the accurate leaks will be people mapping out when this will likely be and then backwards marketing plans to release and announcements

    Maybe Wilds will be a launch game and Nintendo anticipated the release to capitalise on it? Dunno, just playing devil’s advocate.

  Silksong launch title?

    You know, the timeline makes sense but I’ll leave this here anyway: 🤡

• daggermoon@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Y’all gonna buy this thing?

  source

  • mlg@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Only if it’s jailbreakable

    Just to spite Nintendo for shutting down Yuzu and Ryujinx

      You’ll probably want an early model then they usually have the most vulnerability

    If it’s backwards compatible with digital software then yes, day one. I held off on the Switch for over a year, just long enough to get one without vulnerabilities but not long enough to get the higher efficiencies.

    Probably. I have 2 kids, and I still love Nintendo games. It does depend on a few things so I will wait to see what its capable of. I also don’t see myself buying it at release, I’m to old for that FOMO.

    source

    • 50MYT@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Same here.

      Santa will be buying it for Xmas this year no doubt.

      Kids will be reminded the hard way that Mario kart skills cross titles.

    Depends if I have to be in a rat race with scalpers and their bots again. I do not wish to relive the PS5 fiasco.

    “Oh deer…”

    nope.

    source
  • can@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Potentially, but only for a new Smash Bros. (same reason I got the Wii U and Switch)

    source
  • ampersandrew@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Nope, but there are surely deals that are locked up in this thing’s launch, and I’ve got an unannounced 3D Mario game on my Fantasy Critic roster.

    I would sooner buy a PS5 lmao

    source

    • Hyphlosion@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      This better just be you saying you would rather be rather buy a PS5 and not also a prophecy of what’s to come. Heh.

    yes

    Maybe in three or four years when the mid-gen refresh comes out.

    source
  • catloaf@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Only if I have to for Metroid Prime 5, if I can’t play it on Switch or emulate it.

    source
  • iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Going to depend entirely on the specs and launch titles.

    source
• HowManyNimons@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I’m not expecting an announcement until late March. They’re not going to want to commit to a price any time soon. Blame that clown in oompa loompa makeup.

• Cosmonaut_Collin@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I’m hoping for the virtual boy switch

    GameCube.o

    source

    • Hyphlosion@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Nintendo is a corporation. Corporations like money. That is the reason.

      If Gamecube games come out to their service, that will just be their thinly-veiled excuse.
