This is a good point about Lockhart. If it exists, I think it's to undercut the price of PS5 and the digital edition , but it would also be a direct competitor to the Switch price-wise. I think they're different target audiences, but the exclusives on Switch are so much better. (and I don't think Game Pass will ever come to Switch.)
Word? Is that game even any good? I think I'd prefer Soma Bringer...
It is def worth it imo. The last dungeon they added is prob the best dungeon in the whole game.
Lmao
No, Sakaguchi even said he agreed with their decision not to release it outside of Japan lol
They should save this for either the Switch Pro or the Switch 2.
I can enjoy a lot of games without top-tier graphics, but I expect more out of final fantasy.

I just wanna hear more about Prinny 1&2 reloaded. The important thing is a 'hold to attack' button because mashing to attack genuinely destroyed my thumb. Granted, it's double jointed so that's the big factor, but hold-to-attack would be legendary QoL, hope the game shows up in the next applicable direct.
It might as well be a second console for those who have a Switch and think that third parties are missing.
What I do agree with you, is that I don't think PS5 is in a very good position, maybe with price cuts and more exclusives down the line it will find some of the audience that the PS4 has.
The Switch successor is so intriguing. I'm very curious to see what comes. It really, they've got a golden recipe right now with the Switch. Better display (in handheld and docked mode), longer battery, and perhaps a VR option would be great. If they can get Switch 2 to PS4 level graphics (or thereabouts), they'd have a winning strategy. (This DLSS 2.0 news seems promising.) There's a point where graphics aren't going to matter because they can't get any better.
But the thing Nintendo really has going for it is their game development. PS is catching up with their exclusives, but really, there's nothing like a first-party exclusive from Nintendo.
Brazillian Youtuber "Coelho do Japão" just recently posted a video talking about an insider/source that has been contacting him and he pretty much addressed what he got right, what he got wrong and what the insider said could be coming into the future, so here is a bit tl;dr for the ~23 minute, it has A LOTTTT of info:
*Good to remember that the insider isn't 100% reliable! Take everything with a grain of salt [and don't blame the Youtuber, he DOES say he does not trust 100% this "insider", but that he did say some stuff that actually happened.] - By the way, my translation is not 100%, of course, and i did not translate EVERYTHING because some stuff was very confusing. But the stuff i translated should be for the most part correctly translated. I will be linking the video though, if anyone needs to take their own conclusions.
CORRECT:
• The correct date and hour of the latest Mini Direct.
• Something about Zelda showing up soon (and not necessarily a new Zelda) *[This did happen in some form, we got Cadence of Hyrule DLC. Coelho does not mention this in the video though, but it's good to remember] **[Also, there were the OoT trademarks in Australia.]
• A sudden announcement next to Sony's State of Play *[Pikmin 3 Deluxe got announced yesterday.]
Things the "insider" rumored:
• A possible announcement in August anywhere from the 10th (he did not specify if it was a Direct or not) *[This is MY input on the situation, but if we are to take that both the other insider guy and this insider are correct, something is probably getting announced between August 10th and 17th.]
• There is a 2D Metroid being developed by a Spanish company. *[Coelho also mentions on his video that another person that knew about the Mini Direct's date, PH Brazil, hinted about a possible 2D Metroid that, in his words, "The new Metroid i am referring to is going to build up from what the last game for 3DS did."
• "After Pikmin 3, there are still good things to come." *[Coelho also mentions another tweet by PH Brazil, in which he says "After Pikmin 3, Super Mario 3D World is going to be the next game to be rescued from the Wii U." He also mentions Xenoblade Chronicles X and the Zelda remasters from Wii U, however, it is unclear if PH Brazil meant they are coming to the Switch or if he is just say those are the remaining games that could possibly be coming from the Wii U.]
• Keeping up with the last point, PH Brazil also added on his tweet that "Other releases that Nintendo is preparing until the first half of 2021 include the 3D Collection of Mario games and new Metroid and Fire Emblem titles. *[Coelho says he is not sure if the stuff that PH Brazil said has any correlation with what his insider told him, but it could possibly be related.]
• A new F-Zero game is coming *******[It's VERY important to note that the insider told Coelho about the F-Zero game BEFORE the fake F-Zero account showed up on Twitter. So apparently a new F-Zero game is being developed ever since 2017 by Bandai Namco and is going to include story mode, customization and an online mode, and is being prepared for 2020.
• Apparently Retro Studios is working on two Metroid Prime games, and that is why they are employing so many new people. This would explain why Retro was still employing people for story - It does not necessarily mean they are employing people to write story for Metroid Prime 4, but it could be for MP5 [or another spin-off MP game]
• Square Enix is working on an exclusive KH game for the Switch, that apparently had its development intended for the 3DS, but they stopped the development for 3DS and rebooted the game, this time developing it for the Switch.
• Apparently, Nintendo allowed Donkey Kong to be used by an indie company to make a new game (just like Cadence of Hyrule.)
• A new Mario Strikers is being developed and it is quite far in development, but something happened in the plans and the game got delayed in its announcement/release (the insider also apparently said he is 100% sure a new Mario Strikers is happening).
• In February, the insider received the info that BoTW2 could be seeing a release in November, being the game that Nintendo is most focused on in 2020 [in terms of marketing; this is their big/holiday game.] And the name of the game is being reported "The Legend of Zelda: Prince's Madness"; he does mention however that this is the name that is being given in the beta and could possibly only be a temporary title, and not actually the title of the game *[Coelho also mentions he does not buy into this at all.] **[The insider also says that the title and date could have possibly changed, since the information was received in February of 2020.] ***[Monolith Soft is also apparently helping Nintendo to finish BoTW2, and he also mentions that they are working on another Zelda project, but they don't know if it is a remaster or a port.]
--------------------------------------------
Also, a bit about the insider:
He does not work for Nintendo, but has close friends that work inside Nintendo, he also is not from Brazil. Coelho also says the insider tells him stuff because he likes him.
I also want to note that these are NOT coming from Coelho but an insider. If any of these come out as incorrect, please do not hate on him. He said HIMSELF that he feels like this insider is not that reliable and that a lot of the stuff he says is far-fetched. So do not put the blame on him!
-------------------------------------------
My input: I do not buy into... a lot of this stuff. It is not Coelho's fault though, he is just reporting what he heard about. But this giant amount of information from multiple projects inside a company seems unlikely, unless it is someone from extremely high up i think? I do not think this insider is 100% lying, but he is most likely either guessing stuff or just really blaffing. EDIT: Forgot to insert the video link, sorry! Here it is.

If this came out before the end of the year ot would be almost enough to satisfy me with the Switch until 2021.
If it is a Indie World I hope people keep it civil. Indies are a treasure and are good for lulls in between releases. I know it won't be taken well for many.
Honestly if Lockhart is $300 or under I think there's a good chance it'll be my first Xbox. I'm not sure what discussion is about the pricing though. Feels like it'd be a neat console alongside my Switch.
They should localize this one:
Reginleiv is literally an Earth Defense Force with a medieval setting. There's one EDF game is coming to Switch, maybe if we buy them enough we might attract Nintendo's interest? These things work like this on Switch.
Agreed: Lockhart feels like a supplemental console, like Disney+ to Netflix.
also agreed: PS5 is at the top, but their position their is not guaranteed entering next gen. Too many variables in an unpredictable period right now. But they do have a ton of momentum.
I might have to move it up on my list. For some reason I thought it was the horse bike, and some masks to make the game easier.
That blocky looking one is coming, right? That didn't look too bad.
