The Bethesda stuff was before the Microsoft buyout was fully finalized so there was a gray area of opportunity.

Also you're not supposed to want a Deus Ex sequel, the Marvel games are a natural evolution. The Original Deus Ex predicted that with clues laid around the game since the start.

Question, what is the root of this meme? I see it every fucking where but I don’t know where from

It's looking more like the new switch will be announced and then BOTW2 will get an enhanced version when the new switch comes out.

Nvidia is already stopping the manufacture of switch components so the announcement of a brand new switch is probably going to happen this year.
 
Depends how much stock Nintendo's suppliers have stockpiled. I've yet to be wrong about under-estimating Nintendo on Switch upgrades.
 
God that sounds too good to be true (especially if the next switch is backward compatible) so I guess it more waiting until Nov.

The OLED is supposed to replace the OG model eventually, but even OLED parts can't be sourced.

Backwards compatibility remains to be seen because they're not all that keen on bringing forward digital purchases. My Copy of Earthbound on the wii-u is still locked to the console.

I'm real curious what the price is going to be because if it's 500 bucks that's the same as the other consoles. Shit has not gotten cheaper to manufacture, both the PS5 and the Xbox are needing to source a new chipset again due to not enough being able to be made.

They are not giving you a new console generation regardless of any changes they make to components. Expect that no sooner than late 2023. Switch is only 5 years old and there have been zero credible rumors of specs/sourcing.

But what I said would place it at 2023.

Zelda is november of 2022 and they wouldn't launch the console at that point with no build up, if it was coming this year we would have heard about it. They started sourcing parts for it already in 2021 which means it's still a year off with production times.

Oh that's more believable, though I think Spring 2024 is most likely. I also think BotW2 is going to let people down.

My gripes with BOTW2 was that the world was bland, the objectives were tedious, and there wasn't enough actual meaningful content to justify the open world.

All the known footage still has re-used assets, I'm seeing no entirely new enemies, no new systems to fix what the originals didn't get right, and no new unique locations.

The God of War Ragnarok trailer at least put the new enemies and locations front and center showing you're going to be fighting a ton of new guys and with using new abilities to the point where it looks distinctively different. BOTW2 may just wind up something that could have been a DLC campaign.

Even the dungeons were so weak that they only took a few minutes to clear each. The dungeons were usually the center of Zelda and to have them be so small and the fact that there was so few, really made it seem lacking.

All their deals are gonna be for a year max I would assume. FFVIIR was supposed to be only a year but it ended up going longer probably due to Square being open Sony dickriders. Bethesda deals aren't gonna be extended. Bethesda ports to Switch aren't gonna happen for new Bethesda games largely due to the Switch and future Ninty hardware being underpowered in general. id might be technical masters but they aren't gonna continue downgrading their games just to run on the Switch 2 or whatever even if Microsoft asked them to.

The fact Sony made paid exclusivity deals with Bethesda still makes me giggle if not just for the fact that Bethesda has continually treated Sony as some leper they would rather not associate with. It also makes them getting bought out by Microsoft more funny. Since Sony was apparently trying to get Todd to make Starfield a timed exclusive for the PS5 then it ends up as only on Xbox and PC.

My point being that Square Enix should go bankrupt and sell its western devs to people who will fund the third Adam Jensen game instead of forcing them to make capeshit. Square is a cancerous tumor and the only good thing they ever did was revive Deus Ex, but then they killed it only to leave it on a cliffhanger.

The relationship between Bethesda and Nintendo was neato while it lasted, shame if it's going to be a thing of the past.

Human Revolution's ending was stock footage no matter what you picked.

There was a lot of uneven weirdness in the games themselves even before MD was known to have stuff cut.

I wasn't as impressed with Human Revolution as most people, it was good and it was great to have Deus Ex back at all, but it didn't totally blow me away, I was not as surprised to hear about the issues with MD as most people were, especially after fucking Thief 2014.

We're not going to get a Switch Pro this late in the game, it'll be a Switch 2.

"Only" 5 years but the GameCube was done after 5 years, the Wii only lasted 6 despite being such a mega seller.

Spring of 2023 is probably the likeliest though.

GCN and Wii U are considered failures by Nintendo, and got shorter lives because of it. I thought Wii lasted longer but no, you are right, it lasted 6 years. I give the Switch one over it, to 7, because it continues to move both hardware and software at record rates, but we'll just have to see.

Nintendo said that the Wii U did not meet their expectations and Reggie called it a failure. I have never heard Nintendo say that the GameCube was a failure; the closest I have heard are musings on Yamauchi's general approach toward system pricing and online capabilities. Both systems ended up profitable even with the Wii U being sold at a minor loss per-unit. The GameCube in particular ran circles around the PlayStation and Xbox hardware of the time and made a profit on every unit sold. And in both cases the first party games released were mostly excellent, even if they didn't match the sales numbers of their competitors.

Failures indeed.

IIRC Wii was a mega seller, but a lot of customers never bought more than a few games for it, and sales dropped off after everyone got one and discovered how motion controls aren't really what they were cracked up to be. Even Nintendo fans saw it as not much more than a means to play Xenoblade during its last couple of years.

Switch is getting pretty long in the tooth, there's no denying that. But, it's going nowhere for a while, because:
  • It's practically a monopoly in Japan
  • There are a whole slew of new owners thanks to everyone's favorite Chinese bioweapon
  • One major reason for that being the entire PLANET getting locked down right as a new Animal Crossing game launched, which had such retardedly fortunate timing that I'm sure Bitchute's full of videos blaming it all on Nintendo.
  • The damn thing's running on telephone hardware produced by Nvidia, a business that dominates the video card market, at a time when they haven't been able to keep GPUs in stock because of crypto mining operations, making it so even midrange cards can cost four figures
  • Nintendo's competition is experiencing hefty shortages, especially the entire PlayStation brand, where even PS4s are hard to come by, let alone PS5s. The biggest threat on store shelves is the Xbox Series S, and even those are a little hard to come by right now because of the absolutely dire state of the world
Unless an IRL deus ex machina happens, I could see the Switch going and going with no successor up to its 10th anniversary in 2027. Maybe we'll see another mini revision, like a Switch Pocket, but I don't think Nintendo needs to produce a new platform for a while.

In what way did the GameCube hardware run circles around its competitors? It was mildly faster than a PS2 but considerably less powerful than the Xbox at the time. Its proprietary storage may have helped alleviate piracy for all of 15 minutes at the cost of storage space (they held like 1/5th the space of a dual layer DVD). Also, Nintendo didn’t prioritize online functionality in any meaningful way while Microsoft made it a staple of their business model, and even Sony made some token gestures.

Sony had market saturation, Microsoft had sheer monetary brute force, and Nintendo had the incredible value of its IP. Hardware was not, and hasn’t been for a long time, a Nintendo strong point.

It doesn't seem that way, they're looking to make something new.


They already started planning for it last year, around the time Nvidia also announced that they're going to stop making key components for all switch models.

It’s unclear how far along Nintendo is on creating its Switch successor console. However, the management briefing does point to an interest in the development of a brand new console, rather than smaller Nintendo Switch hardware refreshes. While the Switch still boasts 79 million annual playing users and has over 6,000 games on its platform, it’s possible customers could feel Switch fatigue if Nintendo continues to release slight upgrades of the console. The briefing did reveal that Nintendo is expanding its game development capabilities with a $900 million investment, so it’s plausible a presumed Nintendo Switch 2 won’t be revealed until Nintendo has squeezed everything out of its 2017 console.

They already put out a notice that they're not going to be producing as many Switch systems as originally planned for 2022 and have scaled back.

*sigh* Planned obsolescence. That's all it is!
