But if history is any indication, that “March 2025” figure means they plan to be done with the Switch by the Switch 2’s release in late 2024, then round up to the end of the fiscal year in case there are any unforeseen delays. Maybe one or two minor/cross-platform games released after November 2024, but that’s it.

Exactly. Anyone expecting Nintendo to support the Switch for the next two the three years or to make it a "second pillar" is reading too much into what was said or jumping to invalid conclusions. Nintendo will do with the Switch what they did with the N64, Gamecube, and Wii before them; they will release whatever games they still have in development and didn't see fit to move to the Switch 2, maybe make some games cross-platform releases, since most consoles do have a few of those around their release windows. But Nintendo development support will wrap up by the beginning of 2025, assuming the Switch 2 does release in the expected window of late 2024. Third party support will continue for awhile, until Nintendo eventually announces the end of Switch production, probably sometime late 2025 or early to mid 2026. By that point, the Switch 2 will be established and almost all third party development would have moved to it. Going back to that video I posted earlier and what it said earlier, it stated that there had already been scattered reports that most companies have already moved the bulk of their development to the Switch 2, Panic Button included. That's probably to be expected at this point.

You are very much so ignoring both Nintendo's own statements in regards to transitioning the Switch (economic) ecosytem and how it treated the 3DS in the Switch’s early life. Personally, I expect the Switch to stop getting prestige titles (or get gimped dual release versions) but to still get cheap ports and remakes/remadters until the end of 2025. Possibly one more "in-betweener" Pokemon title too.

GBA and 3DS are the only Nintendo systems* (not counting the early NES and Super Famicom) that kept getting big first party releases long after their successors were out. Coincidentally, their successors (DS and Switch) are the two systems that were radically different to the point where Nintendo referred to them as third pillars. In other words, supporting a system long after its successor is out is an exception that they only take when there’s a major shift.

* (okay, DS got Pokemon BW2, but that’s an outlier and a sequel to an existing DS game that uses the same engine and can be played on a 3DS anyway)

I can’t wait for Nintendo to reveal how backwards compatibility will work since that’ll probably answer a lot of these debates. I have no doubt that it’ll be BC, but I want to know if it’ll be what they always do (a Switch 2 “becomes” a Switch 1 when you play old games) or if it’ll be like PS5/Xbox where old games can be enhanced. If it’s the latter, that means no “cross-gen” releases since everything is cross-gen by default. And the Switch 1 would definitely live longer since devs could support both systems through one release, like how the PS4 and Xbox One refuse to die.

I mean, that's not too different from what I said. The only really difference is I think first party support will wrap up around the beginning of 2025, you think it will last to the end. But when I say that Switch will stop getting first party support, I mean it will largely stop getting any new games, not that Nintendo will immediately announce the end of said support. And this largely follows with how Nintendo treated the 3DS. Allow me to explain.

The Switch came out on March 2017, and Nintendo officially announced the end of all first party game development for the 3DS in June 2019. However, Nintendo's own development regarding the console had long slowed up and ceased prior to the actual announcement. The only game that Nintendo released for the console in 2019 that they didn't just publish internationally (like the Level 5 games) was Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn, which came out in March.

Excluding Level 5 titles that Nintendo only published internationally as part of an agreement with them, Nintendo only published seven games in 2018 (plus a late release of Kirby Battle Royale which originally came out at the end of the previous year and was released in America in January). And these weren't major releases either. These were minor secondary games developed by second and third party partners (Warioware Gold, Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido, and Dillon's Dead-Heat Breakers), a late release of a game that came out two years before (Detective Pikachu), two late ports (the original Luigi's Mansion and Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker) and a remake from a floundering second party studio (Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey).

The last year that Nintendo could be said to have truly supported the 3DS was in 2017, the year the Switch was released. And even that year wasn't anything to write home about in terms of games. Aside from the aforementioned Kirby Battle Royale (which released in Japan in November), Nintendo released Style Savvy: Styling Star, Mario Party: The Top 100, Pokemon Ultra Sun/Moon (because The Nintendo Company must always get their pound of flesh), Fire Emblem Warriors (a cross-platform release with the Switch), Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions (yet another remake from the faltering Alpha Dream), Metroid: Samus Returns (another remake), Miitopia, Hey Pikmin!, Kirby's Blowout Blast, Ever Oasis, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia (yet ANOTHER gosh darn remake), Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, Bye-Bye BoxBoy!, Mario Sports Superstars, and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World.

Take a long hard look at that list. 17 games (16, if you don't count the Pokemon games as separate titles on principal), and, outside of Pokemon, and maybe one or two other games, its hardly a memorable game release schedule by any metric. This is what the Switch's release schedule will look like next year in terms of first party releases. No, it might actually look worse, since we didn't get that many games revealed in the last direct, and that Direct showed a Luigi's Mansion game that isn't coming out till the late summer. So what we saw was all Nintendo had planned for the entire first half of the year. And think about it; if the Switch 2 does in fact come out next year, next year is probably the last year the Switch will get even half decent support. So its already looking bleak for that console on the game front. And that is assuming Nintendo treats this console anything like the 3DS. If we are looking at an N64/Gamecube/Wii/Wii U situation, then the Switch won't even last past maybe the last few months of 2024, at best, especially if the Switch 2 truly takes off.

Nintendo has no real viable competition, so they can skirt this along for 5-10 more years and STILL make a profit.

There is no way they could keep Switch relevant for a decade more, even 5 more years seems unlikely. It's doing fine currently, but there's 2-3 years max left in the tank before a successor would absolutely need to be released.

whatever I feel like said:
Thats what I think the Switch will get, maybe with some crossgen thrown in. Just because you don't like that stuff or find it boring doesn't mean it wasn't support.

Yeah, I agree with what you've been saying, it seems pretty obvious how things will go. The support might not be particularly strong but Switch 1 will remain supported for a while after Switch 2 releases.

Calling what Nintendo gave the 3DS in 2018 "support" is a bad joke and shows we are working on two entirely different definitions of support. Seven games, one of which is just a late international release, one of which was a B-team remake, two others of which are late ports of games that game out over ten years before is not really "supporting" a console. Its doing the bare minimum to keep it on life support, if even that. They gave the 3DS bottom of the barrel shit and pretended like they were "supporting" it.

I don't know why anyone thinks the Switch can last 10+ years. Unless they just want Nintendo to wait to release a successor around when Xbox and Playstation release theirs.

No one's arguing the Switch can last 10 more years. Only that Switch sales are still consistent and that Nintendo is going to ride that wave of profits as long as they can. That's why we're not getting a Switch 2 until 2025.

I think the switch 2 is coming next year myself. But It would be pretty funny if they stretch it for another couple years and it gets more ports like the recent mortal kombat.

I'm disappointed the Switch never got themes.

Hack your Switch, you get themes with custom background music, fonts, layouts and animations, and access to all the other homebrew + piracy. Tesla overlay is great, you can have a performance and framerate overlay, overclock settings, quick access to cheats, quick access to virtual amiibos, and even a screenshot quick upload. Ironically all stuff that comes built in to the Steam Deck, for the most part

There is no indication whatsoever that the Switch 2 is coming out in 2025 over 2024.

I'm not sure I'd call it bottom of the barrel, but it was clearly not their focus. If you really want to see what bottom of the barrel looks like then check out the Vita's support, here's the last of what Sony published for it according to Wikipedia:

BigFest
Disney's The Muppets Movie Adventures
Fat Princess: Piece of Cake
Helldivers
Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines
Run Sackboy! Run!
MonsterBag

Of these I'm pretty sure only Oreshika is exclusive, and it's also basically the only notable game there aside from Helldivers, plus it's just sort of mediocre. Some were literally just mobile ports (Sackboy/Princess) and indie developed games (MonsterBag).

So, it can always be worse lol

Yeah, I think delaying the Switch 2 for too long could lead to Nintendo losing relevance, and that could let the other consoles get their shit together. They have no games so a Nintendo release in the next year or so with great launch titles could really cement Nintendo's position at the top for a long time.

It's fairly likely, but we could see an early 2025 release too.

Emulation has a natural overlap with transgenderism, as they are both about pretending to be something you aren’t.

You know, trannies are just like the Switch except, there's no real switching involved, you can't take them out in public, and each time you push its buttons, they'll try to rape you.

The idea of switch 2 sucks. Nintendo. Another portable console with prehistoric hardware that can only emulatr cartoonish graphics well. The Wii U was a disaster. They need to innovate with a newer more powerful console.
