They said the Pokémon VC would be "soon," but here we are 6 months later. FromSoftware always releases early in the financial quarter, so March-April, but they have shown nothing.
Be patience, the baby game makers are still struggling to convert the 480i cartoon graphics to 1080p, and update the online features from 2005 to 2010 standards.
 
As of June 30th, the switch 2 has outsold the Steam Deck (~5.5 million.)

Nintendo made a game that teaches the kids how to set fires. What could possibly go wrong?

The floating heads with the camera just ain't right.
This is some straight up bizarre dystopic shit.

Why wouldn't you have your friends over for an actual fire?
I don't think it's a repeat of the Wii U, but to be fair, that's only outselling Wii U 2-1 in its first month or so. If lifetime sales only doubled Wii U, the Switch 2 would still be an unmitigated disaster.

Now again, to be clear, I don't think sales are going to slow down that much. I still don't think it's going to sell as well as the first Switch, though. I'm still betting it's a success, but sub 100-million in sales.

I wonder how many Trump voting Nintendo fans there are in the US.

They will never admit that their own vote directly caused the price of Switch consoles and accessories to increase.

As if any Kamala would have been better. Nobody would have had any money to buy the switch 2 if she was president.
 
Friendly reminder that if Nintendo weren't pozzed and anti-Trump, we could've seen massive price drops and a boost to the US economy by producing these in the United States.
 
Whats interesting is they admit they sold through in the first 7 weeks (so up to July 25) 6 million units. So it seems a lot of the sales have been heavily frontloaded. The console is now readily available so it seems we may have gotten through the early adopters pretty quickly. We may look back and view the success of the Switch 2 as more of a supply thing than a demand thing. We've never seen a console this well supplied in the first week but other consoles were still supply constraint at 6 million.
 
The Switch is close to becoming the best selling console of all time! With the Switch 2 already out, Nintendo has to be careful with their pricing to make that dream a reality. Thankfully it should be easy as long as they follow the pattern set by literally all of their earlier consoles and don’t do anything completely retar-

Switch 1 products will get a price change while Switch 2 products remain unaffected.

And don’t even think about pretending that tariffs have anything to do with this decision because A) If they did, Nintendo would have raised prices months ago, B) The Switch is already overpriced at $300, and C) Tariffs against Japan are relatively low.

The fact that there are people who base their political opinions on the cost of their bing bing wahoos is absolutely depressing.
It makes sense, Switch 2 is comprised out of excess Switch 1 parts.
