I bet when TotK sales begin to slump, we'll see switch 2 with a TotK console upgrade/re-release at a higher fps and resolution.
If this was true, I wouldn’t even be mad. The jank in some games is really starting to show particularly when you switch (heh) from a current gen console running at 4K to a 1080p display res on the Switch and then the game’s res is further brought down to maintain a solid frame rate in docked mode. It’s time for a beefed up Switch.
Take my money.
I just hope that the next console is backward compatible with the Switch, so I can play all of the games I have bought from the eShop. I wouldn’t even mind a sort of hybrid model where the games play exactly as they are on switch, and developers could release optional updates to take advantage of the new hardware
I assume they timed Switch 2, based on this.
I'd bet against this - seems like a very not-Nintendo move.
The closest I can think of might have been delaying BOTW for so long so it could go from being Wii U-exclusive to a dual release helping to launch the Switch. But as much as Nintendo loves remaking games, I don't think they'd launch a new console with a remake of the most recent Zelda game.
I'd bet on the new console launching with a 1-2 punch of both Mario Kart 9, and a brand new main series Zelda or Mario game.
With how weird the new Mario game is, I swore that it was going to end with a Switch 2 announcement. Even in the direct they never mention that the game will be on Switch (though the standalone trailer does).
