Some, but 99.9% will have to be compatible with the current model or it will be a huge waste :^S
Vevery very very few, it will improve current games by a lot but i wouldn't put my hopes on many exclusives, current switch will be fine for awhile as long as it keeps selling
It'll be the same mix we have seen in the past. We'll see a few more western studio efforts (ports) but the landscape of releases will remain as it has.
The very first question in that link has a response that says it's planned for a simultaneous release.
It can be done. Starlink was a simultaneous release and handled by an external porting studio. Mortal Kombat 11 is shaping up the same way.
The Wii was an SD console, so development costs were lower, and publishers could more easily justify a downport since they wouldn't need to sell too many copies to make a profit.
With all due regards to people who ported Sonic Mania, that should have been a way smaller project than anything else, especially MPT which would probably need a complete asset revamp. This doesn't make much of a comparison.
The way you said this I would've thought we had some Pikmin footage already 😆
Nothing yet. But we dream.
It's what I do.
It's not that Mania port was simple in the "there's nothing to break" sense - I actually doubt any game qualifies for that - it's that it has a straightforward target scope for the Switch team. With MPT, if they keep the original, say, models and textures, it's a decision someone made, consciously or not; they could do something else, as Zelda updates show. With Sonic Mania, anything being intentionally different than in other versions of the game would make little sense.
an enhanced Switch like the XBOX or the PS4P could be called the Switch Plus
itll be the switch, but with better hardware and features
How does that sell? How do you market that?
like every other console has done ever
Again, I'm asking about branding. Just calling it a newer stronger Switch isn't enough for people to differentiate.
PS4 is just a newer, stronger PS3, and it's doing pretty well for itself.
What? You're overthinking this. Call it Switch 2 and be done.
That's what I think too, but again my biggest concern is them "Nintendo-ing" this and coming up with a wacky name, or otherwise putting themselves in another Wii U scenario.
See I think that sounds too silly and "toy-ish". It'd clash with Switch's more modern aesthetic.
this is a weird thing to think about so many decades into modern gaming
I don't see how "Switch 2" would be confusing, but you say "Playstation 2" isn't. and then you have phones that do this exact naming scheme without problem as well
