Nope. Nintendo can take their time and get it just right, because when they do nobody comes close to them imo.
Endless Ocean 3 on May 2 too.
Are we talking about announcing a console? What do want them to do, OP?
12 months ago? I think it's fair to say TotK, Pikmin 4, Fzero 99, Mario RPG Remake, and Mario Wonder count as doing something.
Gut tells me they've got a lot cooking for Switch 2 but delays pushed the launch back into next year, so they don't have a lot to release game-wise.
We do still have TTYD and Luigi's Mansion 2 remaster/ports coming this year, but outside of the Princess Peach game we need a *new* game to help carry Nintendo through to the launch of the Switch 2.

Eh. I don't really care that much. Nintendo will release stuff when they want to and if it interests me I'll buy it. I don't need to constantly be marketed at.
Switch is still selling well so i guess they figure they'll ride the gravy train to the end of the line. I feel like if the Switch's decline had come sooner we'd all know what the next Mario and Mario Kart look like by now. Hopefully next gen Nintendo actually has some competition.
not really? while I am always excited for a direct and new announcements, I have plenty to play, and if they have a direct in June that's totally fine. It's not like I am starving for games, they've delivered hard this gen
Didn't they release that super Mario game recently? And the Peach game like last week or something?
I got too much to play right now anyways so when they're ready to make a move, hopefully I'll be ready for it myself.
Ehh, I dunno man. I still got more than enough stuff on my Switch that I wanna play through and stuff that I'll get like Paper Mario 2 Remake and I'm more than set this year with games on other platforms like FF7 Rebirth or Infinite Wealth, so I'm personally more than fine with Nintendo slowing down for a bit.
OP
OP
Announce the console, announce a Direct, shadow drop Mother 3...
I just feel the excitement and momentum around the brand is at a low. Like a final year of Wii level low
That's true, I keep forgetting about this, but it looks nice as well.
Aside from annoucing Switch 2 with a steller launch game lineup, I don't know anything exciting that Nintendo can do. Switch is at the end of the life cycle, you are only gonna get scraps.
It's got the end of life console vibe going on right now, yeah. Same thing happened to 3DS around 2017-2018. There will always be those who disagree. I remember some people were saying the 3DS was still going strong in 2018 and nintendo wouldn't give up on it. But the general trend now is less releases, less big releases, less excitement, hardware is getting more outdated by the day etc. It's in the slowdown phase.
They've been doing something, alright.
Man, and here I thought that the internet was older than abt. 2 years.
Not even close. Get some perspective.
Things are a little slow for them right now, but it's much better to have a slow last year of a successful console than a slow first year of a new console.
There's plenty of other games to play so go play them. Unless the only joy you get out of this hobby is being marketed to so you can be hyped about the future.
Compared to the Wii U days we're doing ok
Those were the bad times lol
Yes Peach game just came out but Era is not the target audience for it so it doesn't exist lol

Switch just sold over 70k last week in Japan and has games that are 6-7 years old continuously in the top weekly sales numbers. There's plenty of people that are still discovering the Switch library every day/week even at this late stage in its lifecycle.
They've produced a console with such powerful mindshare that we've perhaps never seen before (maybe PS2 late years is only comparison and its software likely wasn't moving at this type of clip) at this stage of its run.
They also have tons of bigger than ever franchises primed to iterate on the next console. What exactly else do they need to do than just get everything ready to pounce in the next console. If you're out of things to do on it, just be patient, 2025-2027 is probably going to be mega hit after mega hit.
And their releases are still coming at a consistent clip (even if a lot are remakes/ports or similar things) even towards the end. Pretty much every prior Nintendo console was starved at the end of their runs compared to the current Nintendo Switch situation.

I guess it really depends on what you mean by do something, but I'm assuming it's them making full plans public for Switch 2. That being said, I don't really feel that way. Still fairly occupied with games I'm checking out in the meantime and catching up on my backlog.
I would have sacrificed half of each year's Nintendo lineup solely for a new Endless Ocean game, so I can't complain at all. It's unbelievable we're getting a new one. I couldn't be happier. And Switch 3 is coming not too far away too
Not really, we know there's an event coming for their next console and it seems the unveil event was pushed back because the "Switch 2" has most likely been delayed… I think Nintendo has done all they can with the Switch and just moving all their stuff towards a Switch 2; this is definitely the Twilight year for the console; maybe 1 more surprise left but I'm content with my Switch right now.
