[Roranora]

i play primarily docked and already use a wired internet connection. this rumored Pro doesn't really offer anything new to a Switch user like me

i still kinda want one

Since mine was an early model a better battery would be nice for sure

Ok but what does it mean D:

[Ratatapa]

Something about hiring in 2022

But might mean something else too

[Kirin]

Its a 2022 "graduate recruitment" for Monolith. I'm guessing like a student intern program.

Pretty interesting that they use KOS-MOS so casually, seeing as Monolith doesn't own Xenosaga.

Speaking of, have we figured out how they were able to us KOS-MOS in XB2? Did Bandai/Namco allow them?

Assumingly so. All of the final promotional art for KOS-MOS Re: carried Bamco's Copyright.

What may have helped that along is the same illustrator worked on both projects; designing KOS-MOS for Xenosaga 1 and working on Xenoblade 2.

Edit: Hard to spot, but Bamco's Copyright is on that twitter image post. I didn't notice it before. Maybe they just respect Monolith's "creative" ownership of the property and rubber stamp them using it. Part of me hopes Bamco re-examined Xenosaga's financial prospects with the Switch in mind and have quietly re-evaluated a Xenosaga collection.

Seems many order listings for Switch Pro go live on the 4th. Nintendo was deliberate in their E3 announcement with "exclusively Nintendo Switch software".

Switch Lite was also shadowdropped in a trailer. Thats a gutsy move though to just drop a big console revision like that. The climate could be one where a lot of companies are holding back on Pre E3 announcements specifically because they involve the Switch Pro and Nintendo's planning on those to help carry the announcement to E3.

Cant say much for CAD, because its CAD, but console pricing is rarely a direct conversion between currencies. I would expect $349-399 for NA. Small chance at the odd out $449. $499 would be a non starter, which is close to what the 399 EU would convert to.

All I’m hoping is they don’t make games for switch pro only like they did for new 3ds

[Salodin]

All of these sequels that Nintendo fans have never gotten are trending on Twitter prior to this Nintendo reveal, and by god they're all hyping up to failure again lol

They're definitely releasing Geno this time.

There was like 2-3 exclusives and they were all ports + the SNES virtual console for some reason even though the legacy 3DS model could play GBA games no problem. But yeah, I agree. Also I really doubt there's going to be a "Switch Pro" anyway. Been over a year of rumors at this point.
