Nintendo Switch 2 - For the Soytendo consoomers to speculate about the successor to the Switch, recently announced for 2025.

Yeah, that's been my impression as from watching some youtube playthroughs as well, though I haven't played it. It's good but not good enough to justify buying a Switch 2 for it.
Yeah, it's not even close to good enough to get one for, especially since it's not really different from MK8 if you ignore the "neat, I guess" open world. Double Dash was the peak of the series in terms of creativity, I guess they're too scared to truly shake up the core formula ever again.

Wait for Donkey Kong Bananza
I'm sure it'll be good but DK's appearance will never not bug the fuck out of me.

Anyhoo Bananza next week...gameplay videos look quite fun, but that little girl seems fucking annoying
That's what everyone said about Baby Mario in Yoshi's Island too, but I was never annoyed by him. Apparently enough people were that there's ROM hacks that disable his crying and maybe the alarm too.

Every single one of these "switch 2 bricked FOR LITERALLY NO REASON" articles from polygon and kotaku always hide in the fine print "ok, he might have tried going online while playing a pirated game, but it was definitely because of this random innocuous thing he happened to be doing at the same time, and not that". People knew not to go online with pirated games in the damn ds era, why are zoomers so retarded?
 
After all the time I spent shit-talking the switch 2, I ended up getting one. I'm ashamed of what I've become.
As shitty as they're getting, they still make great games, can't truly blame someone for wanting their consoles when other publishers quality output is so much more inconsistent

Too much discourse online downplay Nintendo consoles by essentially promising people that it's very easy and legal to just emulate Nintendo games on PC.

So zoomers are genuinely surprised when they try it and get instantly fucked. I do think the golden age of piracy is over, and a big reason for that is that every game Nintendo has released is available in some form on Nintendo Switch already. There is no need to pirate obscure JRPGs that were never localized, for example.
 
It only depends on the sales. If the 3ds launch week sales, or early sales in general were anywhere near what switch 2 did, they wouldn't have dropped the price. Nintendo didn't drop the 3ds price out of the kindness of their souls.

Only time will tell.
Switch 2 sold 3.5 million at launch. For reference, the ps4 and ps5 hit about that much in their first two months. And those weren't just random months, that's launch, black Friday, and all of December combined. Basically every analyst out there is putting the floor for the switch 2's first month around 5 million, and it's pretty consistently selling out every restock almost instantly. While it's definitely bolstered by significantly enhanced cross gen games, it's got a decently packed release schedule for the rest of the year, not counting how insane holiday sales are gonna be for it. I think a 3ds style desperation price cut is already out of the question.
