Well... they've been pushing this for quite some time.
Also many headlines are saying it's only for "thin people". I'm 6 foot, and my waistline is 34. Per BMI I'm considered obese... Good to see the media considers me thin while rail thin models are being depicted as "healthy".

Pretty sure I'm obese by bmi as well, 34 waist. Every NFL player is probably considered morbidly obese.

Yeah, BMI is crap for how basic it is. I had 3% body fat once and was on the fringe of overweight according to bmi. If I bulked up a little more (5 pounds) I would've been considered overweight despite being in phenomenal shape.

What's the outlook on the Switch 2 or whatever is next for Nintendo? I'm thinking about buying a Switch OLED but don't want to if Nintendo may drop a new console this year.

Well, it's been rumored since 2017 when the Switch dropped, so there's no telling.

oh wow, 2017! Hopefully they will milk a couple of special edition OLED consoles before the new system.

NES - 10/18/85
SNES - 8/23/91
N64 - 9/29/96
GC - 11/18/01
Wii - 11/19/06
WiiU - 11/18/12
Switch - 3/3/17
Their main console releases have always been about 5-6 years apart, so I wouldn't be surprised if we see the Switch's successor release at the end of this year. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if they milk the Switch even longer given how successful it's been. I also wouldn't be surprised if the Switch's successor is basically just a more powerful Switch, which could very easily feel more like a revision instead of a next-gen console for them.

I remember hearing the Switch was planned to be a 5 year system and that was in 2017. We’re almost at 6 years in 2023 so I guess Covid probably delayed their timeline on a new console but it should be soon I hope. The hardware of the Switch is so dated it’s so hard to play anything new anymore. Bayonetta 3 and Mario and Rabbids Sparks of hope are kinda awful to play in handheld mode. They’re very choppy.

I'd like a new console sooner rather than later. I don't buy multiplatform games on Switch anymore, I don't even take it out of the house anymore so the benefit of playing games portable is a non-factor for me at this point. All I'd ask of them is to make it backwards compatible because I still have so many unplayed games on it.
I wonder if they'll follow the competition and go the two SKU route at launch and have one for digital only at a cheaper price?

How they handle all the games we purchased Digital is how I will decide if I buy the Next Nintendo Console. Minimum like Sony, Day one Support if like Microsoft. I am not starting over again.

I know Nintendo always does their own thing but I think they would have huge success if they just released a Switch Pro at this point that was BC but had more horsepower for new titles and could at least do better with PS5/XSX ports. We're past the point where the lesser Switch version is still acceptable imho.
If the next system doesn't support Switch BC I think that would ensure the Switch sticks around much, much longer and would really impact new sales.

Yeah I mean if the next Nintendo console doesn’t support BC in some form I think they’ll be shooting themselves in the foot kinda. Unless they really want to be an evil corpo and continue on with a bazillion remasters 🙄

Wii played GC and WiiU played Wii and 3DS played DS, so I assume the New Console will play Switch Games but this is the minimum, I want much better support than Wii to WiiU digital and wont pay $1-$2 to upgrade each game or worse. Microsoft BC is the way I want Sony and Nintendo to go in the Future. If they must make a unique feature just make the portable docked and undocked Super Mushroom Power. We dont need to wave the wiimotes or joycons. Sony’s Dualsense if they must but their Pro Controller is just fine, MS basically kept theirs the same a round. At $500 they could make something amazing, they charge $300 now for a hybrid $200 for just a portable. Make the Next one $500 on par with the two competitors 3 year ole tech and Pop it out Late October or Early November, and we camp out in front of the stores…..
MS BC
Xbox SX n PS5 Power
OLED Portable with fixed Controllers no joycons (dualsense Triggers) Battery Life 4 Hours at least
Controller Current Pro
Dock features from Current OLED version
MSRP $499
Optional Dualsense Style Controller is the New Pro

I don't see Nintendo's next system being $500. The new special edition OLED Switches are the most expensive systems Nintendo has ever released, at $360. Enough power might push to $400, but Nintendo's not been about raw power for a while now…

This has got to be the Direct when they finally show off a lot of Tears of the Kingdom. It's too close for it not to be.

"Mostly focused on games launching in the first half of 2023".
So, other than TotK, what announced games would this include?

I was expecting that in March or April, but with pre-orders going up last week I assume they'll at least announce SEs for TofK.
@Bean Be on the ready tomorrow.
