Nintendo SWITCH (OLED Model) Information II - Fastest Second Console Thread of All Time

[Drai]

no new 3D Mario game but we get a new 3D DK game? interesting.

[Mayareira]

No FF9 remake

It’d likely be timed exclusive for Playstation. Announcement on Nintendo Direct would be nuclear for Sony

[Gokulo]

No price lol

I think SE is moving away from timed exclusives because it keeps killing their sales

Anyway the speculation was there because FF9 just had its 25th anniversary

[Drai]

also love that they low key showed "Silksong 2025 release" in a blink and you'll miss it showcase lol

I am still hopeful. Even if it turns out to be a multiplatform game from release I wouldn’t expect the announcement to be on Nintendo Direct. For such a release they’ll hold their own.

Surprised there was nothing about Xenoblade. I thought they'd ride the hype of such a recent release


And yeah, was thinking that was something Bloodborne related too lol

Monolith has a different style. Out of blue they come up with an announcement like “Hey we’ve been working on this title for 3 years and it’ll be out in 2 months, preorders available!”

[Tyrath]

Yeah that Xenoblade 3 announcement was goated. Releases in 6 months kthanksbye.

Actually we are ahead of schedule, moving up 2 months

[Takiwaki]

$499 for the bundle with mariokart.

some games are $80..

Preorder apr 9

[Odesseiron]

$79.99 get the fuck out lol

Guess we'll have Nintendo to thank for the new price on games going forward.

Also not an OLED screen. Guess I'll be passing on this system. Steamdeck/PC/PS5. I doubt I get a PS6 with the way things have been going in the industry. They all seem to be going to PC eventually, anyway.

[Mayareira]

I estimate another 100M sales at least.

And yeah, don’t expect $80 price point to be exclusive to Nintendo. This’ll spread like wildfire.

[Odesseiron]

They already fucked up with the xbox like naming convention, especially with the enhanced games, etc. Especially not giving folks a free upgrade. Iwata is probably rolling over in his grave.

I'm sure it'll sell well, but it reminds me of them going from Wii > WiiU and nobody knew the difference.

Ubisoft, EA, Activision to start this immediately, I would put money that they're the first ones.

[Tyrath]

We just went to $70 games. Fuck that.

[Kaslo]

Xenoblade 2*

How is Switch 2 the same as Wii U? It's a clear next generation lol

[Tyrath]

Xenoblade 2*

No? I'm talking about Xenoblade 3. I think 2 did same year release too but 3 came out basically 4 months after announcement.

[Mayareira]

Yep, 3 release was shockingly close to the announcement.

[Gokulo]

No? I'm talking about Xenoblade 3. I think 2 did same year release too but 3 came out basically 4 months after announcement.

Not sure, but what I remember they actually moved the release date up from what was initially announced for 3.

But I was just talking about a S2 version of Xenoblade X, not a new game, haha

I imagine at best we would get the upgrade option

So if I am reading this right, buying the physical games that have a cartage will direct you to download the game now. Buying physical means nothing besides having a fancy box more or less from how this reads.

[Gokulo]

Also, digital games will be $80 now
