At this rate, you’re probably right. I’d happily accept MP4 as a launch title for a Switch 2 though. Especially if they can make it run at a smooth 60fps.

There’s really not a ton on the docket. Pikmin 4 is the next big one I think, July 31.
Where'd you hear no June direct? I know they weren't going to E3, but thought they typically do a direct in June. Or maybe it's July?

@mcorrado Just rumors at this point but apparently it has something to do with the imminent Switch 2 release. But who knows, we could still get one.

I heard the Switch 2 is at least 1-2 years out at this rate. An announcement could come in another year or so according to one article I read.

Nintendo themselves confirmed there would be no major new hardware in this fiscal year (so until at least March 2024). Still, they could just be gearing up for it and leaving the Switch in the dust for a big launch.

I may have read the same article you did. Based on supply chain considerations, spring 2024 appears to be the earliest. I'm not playing TotK until it works on Yuzu or there is new hardware. In case anyone's panties get twisted by that, I'd buy the game either way, and it's none of Nintendo's business what hardware I play it on.

It would be the largest mistake Nintendo has ever made if it's not fully backward compatible. That common architecture would likely lead to at least a year of support, similar to what Microsoft did with the Series and One.

Agreed. If they don’t make their next console backwards compatible they’d just be shooting themselves in the foot. Switch was way more successful than the Wii U could have ever dreamed of so they need BC to not only keep their fan base happy, but to logically keep up a smooth transition from old to new console financially speaking.

Pikman doesn’t really sell super well does it? I mean it’s a 1st party game and will do fine, but I’m def expecting something else towards the end of the year. Hopefully we get a big Mario game just like we did the same year as BotW

I'm eager for a new switch like anybody. But I can wait 1-2 years. I still have a healthy backlog of great switch games to work through, no rush!

Assuming backward compatibility, I want new hardware because of my backlog. I've had enough of trying to run games on 2015 mobile hardware.

I wanted to get into Pikmin but I’m not a fan of games with time limits.

Oh believe me, if Switch 2 comes out tomorrow I'm going to rush to amazon or best buy and try to nab one day one. Just sayin the Switch OLED is giving me lots of satisfaction right now.

Didn't Nintendo straight up lie once in the past about something like this? They said they had no plans for new hardware that year, and then ended releasing something? I feel like it was for the DS or 3DS.
Either way, Spring 2024 seems realistic. The Switch did launch in March, after all. That would give them some time to save up some big releases for it. I imagine at this point, we're not seeing a new 3D Mario until the Switch's successor, which sucks. It's been so long since Odyssey.

Agreed. I know Nintendo likes to try new things and subvert expectations, but I would literally be shocked if their next system isn't BC. Assuming it IS BC though, it's going to eventually have a MASSIVE library between all of the Switch 1 games, Switch 2 games, eShop games from both systems, and all of the retro games they've been throwing on the various apps.

I know in 2012 at E3 they were asked about a rumored 3DS XL. They either denied they were making it or gave the typical "we have nothing to announce" response. But not even 2 weeks later they officially announced it.

from what i remember, the easiest way to get them in bulk was actually just straight up buying them...they're cheap, so you can buy a ton buy just selling a couple gems
