Any chance of them announcing they're getting out of the hardware business? As much as I love me some Nintendo, I really don't think I'll be buying another console from them.
Based on the sales of The Switch, I highly doubt it. While I agree that it is due for a refresh, Nintendo doesn't really chase high end graphics. They'll put out new hardware eventually that is more powerful than the current Switch, but less powerful than a PS5. They have a bunch of IPs that they know will carry it regardless of if it's cutting edge or not.
I sincerely doubt they'll leave the hardware business. The Switch is their most successful home console of all time, ranking third in overall video game console sales.
It's annoying to have to buy multiple consoles to enjoy the best experiences that video gaming has to offer, but I wouldn't bank on Nintendo leaving anytime soon.
My uncle at nintendo told me that they'll finally tell us how to teach Pikachu Surf so we can find the Mew under the truck.
I've been so attached to Tears of the Kingdom that I've barely even considered other games. What an open world masterclass. I feel like I could spend another hundred hours in that game and still find some interesting spot hiding somewhere.
Did you know some guy on youtube made a mod/virus for red and blue that makes it so if you trade with a cart that's infected too? The only other thing it does is make it possible to use strength to push the truck and catch a mew.
I'm excited to see what they're going to showcase. The rumor mill is running rampant on Twitter that a new 2D Mario game and an SNES remaster will be shown.
Assuming these are true, I hope we're getting a 2D Mario that isn't a "New Super Mario Bros" title since that franchise is nearly 20 years old at this point. Give us something new. Call it "Super Mario Bros. 5", even. Just something that isn't part of the "New" series.
As for an SNES remaster, Super Mario RPG in a tilt-shift style Link's Awakening remaster would be lovely. A Chrono Trigger remaster in the style of Octopath or Live a Live would also be lovely.
But ultimately I'll just wait it out with hopeful optimism that they have some good stuff in the pipeline.
I never knew I wanted a tilt-shift style Super Mario RPG but now its all I can think about. It'd be an interesting challenge to redo those old games, but they proved it doable with Link's Awakening.
I know it is basically a dream at this point, but I'd love to see a port of Xenoblade X. One of the best games of the Wii U, and the exploration feeling it gave remains unmatched by X2 and X3.
It feels like we're getting toward the end of the switch life cycle, but sales are still strong and Nintendo probably would love to hold onto this install base they have. Wonder if we get some acknowledgement of that life cycle or potentially a new console soon.
Honestly I hope it's just a Switch 2. I know Nintendo likes to really think outside the box and do different things with their consoles (DS, Wii, Wii U, Switch), but the Switch is basically the coolest gaming device ever. When they showed that the controllers came off and there was a kickstand so you could play Mario Kart with friends wherever, it blew my mind.
Just update the hardware and fix the joycon drift, and I'll be happy.
