    I think Prime 4 is going to be cross-gen, mainly because Nintendo usually stick to their promise if a game’s dev cycle falls into another generation. I personally think Switch 2 is coming as it stands right now, but I think the February direct will make or break that mentality for a lot of people.

    120 refresh rate on handheld sounds overkill in terms of battery life, but if it's used for VR, it could finally make it more accessible.

    • @leonro
      @leonro 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      It's not actually a problem for battery life. The reason why it uses up more power on phones is that the UI is rendered 120 times per second. But a 120hz display would allow games to run at 60fps as normal, but also 120fps if possible (for simpler games) or at 40fps, as a good in-between option. You can't properly display 40fps on a 60hz screen because 40 doesn't divide 60.
      For these reasons, I would rather have a 720p 120hz display than a 1080p 60hz one.

    I have a feeling that the Switch 2 will be some kind of hybrid of home console and mixed-reality portable. You will have the console that you can play on your tv, but also you have this "AR glasses" thing that will work as the portable mode, with the joycons detaching to be used one in each hand and the image is streamed to the glasses from the console, maybe the glasses have some gyroscope too idk, and you carry the console with you in your pocket or something. That will also eliminate the need for a screen in the console, because the screen is the glasses.
    I just have this feeling, but also because I believe that in some 5 year span the spatial computing thing will be the dominant way of experiencing technology, and maybe this is the time to present it in gaming so it'll still be felt as an exciting novelty.

In the meantime, I expect this year to give us Metroid Prime 2 and 3 Remastered. I think we might see Metroid Prime 2 in February or March, followed by Metroid Prime 3 in October or November. I'm basing this on the assumption that they're not going to push Metroid Prime 4 beyond 2025. It may even be a Switch 2 launch title.

    At least in Europe, The Switch got a price drop a couple years I think. It was a minimal one: the original Switch's price was dropped by €20, while the OLED model's price was brought down to the original model's original price. So a rather inconsequential price drop. Still, the fact that the Switch didn't see a price hike like in the UK, despite record inflation in the last two years, is still something. And while it feels very weird that the Switch still retails for close to its original price 7 years into its lifetime, the fact is it's still making record sales at such prices, so it really isn't surprising Nintendo won't drop the prices any further.
    As for a Switch 2 (or whatever successor name it will have) announcement, I think we'll only get one this year if the sales figures start dropping quickly. Nintendo is probably ready to announce the new hardware at any time, but wants to time it just right to not hit on Switch sales too hard. A holiday release only makes sense if they feel they won't make projected figures for the Switch alone during the next holiday season. There may also be concerns of hardware availability. We're still suffering chip shortages that increase hardware costs, and Nintendo may not be willing to increase the price of the next hardware by too much. They are already at the edge of what the market will take, especially when it comes to peripherals, so they can't afford to increase prices too much.

  • @ItApproaches
    @ItApproaches 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I see the launch titles (if the system launches in November, which I suspect it will) being three first party Nintendo games, new 3D Mario, Pokemon Gen 5 remakes and a Yoshi or Kirby title. I would love for MK9 to be a launch game, but that and a new 3D Mario on the same day is a bit much on the Mario side lol. There is a possibility of a Zelda remake aka Windwaker/Twilight....I hesitate on Ocarina though lol. As for Prime 4, that depends on a few things, Prime 2 and 3 remastered have to come out before we get to Prime 4. And I think Prime 4 stays Switch exclusive but with backwards compatibility all four Primes can be played on the new system anyway. I just don't see Retro having enough time to build Prime 4 from the ground up for Switch, learn the Switch inside and out, learn the new system inside and out, and make a separate version. That's WAY to much for Retro to do in 5 years time.

    I’m only ten minutes into the video so maybe they’ll talk about it later in the video (tho I doubt it), but one thing I’d love to see is a new dedicated handheld. I know the Switch is a hybrid console that can function as a large handheld, but I think Nintendo has always excelled at creating dedicated handhelds-specifically ones that easily and comfortably fit in your hands. Game Boy, GBA, DS and 3DS-all super successful and created avenues for unique and engaging games, many of which likely wouldn’t have otherwise come out. It could pair with or compliment the Switch successor in some way, like they’ve done in the past with Game Boy/SNES, GBA/GameCube, etc.
    No one online seems to be talking about a new Nintendo dedicated handheld these days, so maybe I’m the outlier here, but I’d buy it day 1 if they ever release another one.

    I’m fine waiting until 2025 for a new console. Besides, even if it does drop this year, it’s likely not until later fall/winter, which is most of a year away anyway, so it’s not a huge difference tbh. My guess is the new console will drop sometime between November 2024 and March 2025 to coincide with the end of Nintendo’s fiscal year.
    As for back compat? It’s probably gonna be partial. I don’t expect we’ll be able to play every Switch game on the new system, and what support we do get for older games will likely have to roll out via patches per title.

Most games for about a year are gonna be cross-gen and then slowly after all the core fans will "switch" and a more casual audience start getting the console, Nintendo will start introducing more and more exclusives.

    I honestly think Nintendo are more likely to do an AR Console than a VR Console.
    I can absolutely picture them releasing a console that consists of a tabletop-gaming-board looking console and cheap version of something like Google Lenses... with a top-down Zelda for a launch title.
    I feel like we're at the point where either Nintendo do that, or Bandai pick either Tamagotchi or Digimon to give an AR V-Pet.

    I think we will get another console this year but it won't release until November and we won't hear an announcement until probably April and i believe it will basically be an upgraded new console not to different from Switch and will be backwards compatible kind of the same as the transition from 3DS to the New Nintendo 3DS but this is just my opinion

      @cwega2463 the New Nintendo 3ds was not a Mid-Gen refresh it literally was the next-gen Nintendo handheld system at that time Nintendo still had their home consoles and handheld systems in two different categories while the New Nintendo 3ds was backwards compatible with the original 3ds it also was a significant upgrade in hardware and even though they didn't make that many exclusive New Nintendo 3ds games it played all previous 3ds games better than the original and it allowed for 16bit games as well you can not play super Mario World on a 3ds it can only work on the new Nintendo 3ds because it literally is upgraded hardware in other words the new Nintendo 3ds would have basically been the 3ds 2 not just another 3ds

They will trickle out the last Switch games that have been in the works for a while and while the new system is out, the Switch will have a year of cross over where essentially Nintendo is supporting two systems, like their older days when they hand a home console and handheld out at the same time.

    I'm a bit with Alex on this one. I don't want new hardware from Nintendo unless it's well thought out and has amazing launch titles. We don't need a new Nintendo console unless it's really worthwhile. FWIW while we're dreaming would love a refresh on the Donkey Kong series for a launch title, a really amazing 3d DK would be grand. A new 3d Mario would be great. Not sure how they'll fill the Zelda gap, maybe with Wind Waker. It's possible that a new 3d Zelda has also been in development for new hardware. ToTK seems like it could have been a smaller team working on it--so much was already developed for BotW.

    I've thought for a long time Nintendo should go the "platform" route like cell phones.
    People upgrade their cell phones every ~3 years because because the latest and greatest are better and smoother and have some new features, but with a few exceptions software is not locked to a hardware model--it works on any prior device, within reason.
    So *most* Switch 2 games would work on the Switch 1, but they'd just be much better on Switch 2. If the game you want to play runs like garbage on Switch 1, that just means you need to upgrade--this is something casual users are accustomed to for their phones, computers, TVs, etc., so it wouldn't be difficult to get people to understand the new paradigm for game consoles. It'd also give Nintendo a software ecosystem, which is something Apple and Google have that console manufacturers don't really have, resetting after each console generation.
