Wishful thinking is hoping that it’ll be announced by the end of the year, especially since they’ve disclosed “some” information about it now. But realistically it probably won’t be announced until after the holidays.
Yep. Nintendo will maximize the mileage of the Switch. Theyre at 146 million plus units now last quarter. I just find it funny that trickles of info can translate into weeks of clickbait videos.
To me, as a Star Fox, Fox McCloud being there doesn't mean too much. He usually shows up these kinda of character collages for Nintendo. Still, this is at least another round of nice acknowledgment of the series from The big N, and hopefully, this is not just another case of Fox being a camo man.
With Splatoon 3 continuing to receive unique new splatfests for at least its third year, it's likely going to continue to receive some level of support even when the switch successor has long been announced or even already released. People have theorized about a potential third wave of DLC for a long time now, I wonder if that could be used to put Splatoon 3 back into the spotlight at the beginning of the new console's lifespan without having to rush out an entire game. Either way, I believe and hope that Splatoon 4 will not be released within the first two or so years of the Switch 2's existence. It needs time.
Interesting the From Software are listed in that bunch of strong relationships... They only released one game on Switch to my knowledge. More From Software games coming to Switch 2?
Nobody’s stopping Nintendo from strengthening engagement with NSO’s core functionality - namely, online gaming. It’s their own choice to frequently completely ignore online functionality in the most obvious places (looking at you Pikmin 4 dandori battle) in favor of … split screen?!
It's interesting to think about Three Houses being the big break for Fire Emblem but the franchise overall performing about the same as it has on the 3DS. Like the drop-off from Three Houses to Engage is steeper than from Xenoblade 2 to 3.
If Nintendo estimates to nearest 5 hour increments (once a game passes 20 hours or so) that's really not so bad. Their tracking last year was top marks even with this obfuscation. Steam was short about 10-15% on myself and several of my gaming friends, while Sony's was atrocious, off 20-30% for most people and about 60% for me, hundreds of hours low. (After being about 25% low for me in 2022.) An imprecise, rounded estimate of accurate numbers is still far more useful (and respected) than precise numbers that are completely inaccurate.
Could someone explain, how did we know the switch successor will be backwards compatible before the announcement? I thought this is the first official confirmation of this, since I don't follow the news very closely, and some clarification would be helpful. Great video so far, I really appreciate the detailed analysis here!
This is the first actual confirmation of the successor hacking backwards compatibility. Before now people were just assuming that it would anyway because “why wouldn’t it,” but there was no proper evidence of it before now.
The evidence was Nintendo seemingly continuing to actively be releasing new Switch games well into 2025, despite the new console having been revealed (and maybe even released) by the time these games release.
The pokemon leaks pointed to the switch successor using the same rom format as original switch. Which would automatically point to backwards comparability
The main reason I can remember is that there was a comment a year ago from Browser; the president of NoA; where he talked about backwards compatibility in a very round-about way where he said that the Nintendo Account was part of Nintendo's plan to make the transition from Switch to a successor easier. If I remember correctly; he came out to make the comment ad-mist a bunch of rumors that the Switch 2 wouldn't be backwards compatible, so most people assumed he was indirectly refuting the rumors. Quote: "Well, first I can’t comment - or I won’t comment, I should say - on the rumours that are out there, but one thing we’ve done with the Switch to help with that communication and transition is the formation of the Nintendo Account (...) Our goal is to minimize the dip you typically see in the last year of one cycle and the beginning of another. I can’t speak to the possible features of a new platform, but the Nintendo Account is a strong basis for having that communication as we make the transition."

Great in-depth coverage and analysis, as always. Appreciated and thank you!
The moment touch-screen w/ stylus is back, I'll consider future Mario Maker games on the top priority list again.
Imagine Nintendo saying "one more thing" at their next direct only to reveal a Star Fox Stickerbook.

Cygames also just released an Uma Musume game globally on switch

God I want a new Star Fox title.
Maybe they just wanted to make sure people still buy switch games on christmas since they know they can play them later next year on their new system
