Just here to reiterate this sentiment. Tabletop mode is awesome, even if I admittedly don't use it all the time. To be fair, I haven't been with friends for months, so it's harder to warrant.

We have an update on ResetEra's ownership. More info here!

Partying like it's 2014, 2013 and 2011
I am guessing chip shortage and pandemic, along with their extended success for the current model.
We get the updated screen and the enhanced battery.
Oled will be in Switch 2, along with updated controllers and internals.
I honestly think the next switch will be looking at updated internals along with controls.
Thus expanding in current iteration along with adding their next evolution.
Horses should be held about RDR2 on Switch Pro. Simply based on the fact that Rockstar is finally giving Nintendo another shot with their relationship. I reckon we'd need to see good sales from the Remasters(if they are coming to Switch) before Rockstar would get a dev kit for a Nintendo Switch Pro. I don't buy it.
What makes me confused about everyone talking Switch 2 is that Nintendo has said repeatedly that they want the Switch to last longer than other consoles and that it's still, as of it's 5th year on the market, about halfway through its life span.
None of that points to a traditional successor happening in 2022/2023. Instead it points to a life span longer to the 3DS, which lasted like 8 years. Instead of the new 3DS being 4 years after launch, the new Switch can be 5 or 6.

A larger focus on tabletop mode due to the SwOLED is the perfect opportunity to make a multiplayer co-op DnD-like, right, Nintendo?
Now that RDR1 is on the cards, it's safe to assume RDR2 on Switch project is shelved.
The obvious answer is that the Switch will be supported with more software, for longer because of a lengthy cross-generational period.
The PS4 is going to have a 10 year lifespan despite PS5 launching at Year 7.
Reminder that the last game famed Nintendo exclusive developer NSpace made was an asynchronous multiplayer D&D game.... for PS4/XBO/PC
Yeah, I’m with this, a Switch Pro of sorts makes way more sense than a successor in the context of Nintendo’s repeated guidance on how long they expect the switch life cycle to be. I’ve not been keeping up with the thread, what’s up with the sudden lack of belief in the switch revision? Has something happened?
I never bothered to look into Sword Coast Legends… why does it sound exactly like what I wanted lmao
I would also point out that Nintendo also insisted that the 3DS would continue to be supported beyond 2019 and that the Switch was absolutely not succeeding the 3DS.
It was literally the perfect concept for a Wii U game...
It was literally the perfect concept for a Wii U game...
I mean, yeah. I totally agree.
That's one of the reasons why I maintain there is zero effective difference between a theoretical New Switch and a theoretical Switch 2 outside of marketing.
But going back to that PS4 comparison, if we're expecting the Switch to have a lifespan longer than the 3DS (meaning more than 8 years) then a Switch marketed as a Switch 2 coming in year 5 or 6 would make it much more difficult to maintain Switch 1 sales and support for another 4-5 years. If instead it's marketed like the new 3DS was, then you're signaling that the base Switch is not completely obsolete and will still get most of nintendo's output until a more traditional successor comes.
Checked the dark parts of the web - there's no Legends leak yet though apparently there's blurry screenshots (but i haven't seen them)
Based on the follow up tweets its apparently some sort of leak that has yet to go public that isn't anything major, just images showing that Legends Arceus has noticeable graphical improvement
That also means committing to only having a refresh for the next several years despite being past the peak of the platform. Keeping in mind that the peak of the PS4 was 2016, where PS4 Slim and Pro launched at the end of the year, and the platform immediately declined from that point.
The Switch will be 5 years old in March and with the OLED at the end of this year we're getting it end of 2022 at the earliest. It's going to launch solidly after the half way point.
If it is like believing in the tooth fairy, then it is pretty much confirmed
Nintendo Direct Speculation |OT8| Begun, The Nintendo Has
Me getting excited for an announcement of a $60 port of a Wii U game I've already played several times:

It makes me glad the NMHIII previews aren't until the following week. It would have gotten completely steamrolled.
What's the logic behind that? You don't think them revealing RDR1 Remastered and RDR2 couldn't capture a lot of impulse buys?
It sounds like they tried to make RDR2 on base Switch a thing but didn't work out. They could start the work on RDR on base Switch now and hold RDR2 off until the Switch Pro is out.
To be fair we don't know for sure that we're past the peak. Q1 was down 20% but still up 100% from 2019. New hardware is launching in Q3 (and the initial shipment will be in Q3) and Q3 and Q4 software is much, much more impressive than last year's.
Either way, I don't think the timing of the peak is terribly important, it's still moving very good numbers and that's when you want to introduce an upgrade.
the statement doesn't imply anything more than they looked into RDR and RDR2 for Switch
Nintendo's official guidance is that hardware, software and profits will all be down this year.
The point is that if we're not getting a real successor for another 4 or 5 years we don't need good numbers now, we need good numbers for the next several years.
The 4K DLSS Switch wasn't known to developers until late 2020. Not sure where this three to market concept is stemming from.
That statement didn't but RDR2 was leaked for Switch in that year. We had Switch Pro Controller layout found in the game's files. Meaning it was in full development in some point. What Totilo heard confirms it.
Now it's been 2 years since then and now Kotaku heard that Rockstar is considering RDR1 remaster. Nothing about RDR2 port on Switch. Of course it still can be a secret, even bigger secret than GTA Trilogy remasters, but I don't think so.
The article made it sound like RDR Remastered was still a ways off let alone what engine it'd be on (like the GTA trilogy moving to UE). I'd suspect given the the extensive amount of work it'd already take with the code, they'd probably try to reuse some of the same tech/assets as RDR2 in which case they could have both coming to Switch. Depending on how much work for 2 was already done of course. Or they could both skip the base Switch. Or maybe it'll be on UE as well. I dunno.
Stephen Totilo said he was told in 2019 that RDR2 was in development for Switch & Switch Pro.
Raccoon, don’t put my name in your dirty raccoon posts again. Jk :)

Rockstar being one of the first to be told of a Pro system isn't that crazy
No, but having dev kits out 3 years before the launch of the system is kind of crazy, especially if it's a revision.
I see.
I know RDR2 was tested for the Switch around then. I was also aware of Rockstar project for Switch in mid-2019, too -- not related to RDR2.
I'm not sure I'd take that as confirmation of a dev kit being distributed vs the plan was to bring the game to the revision once it became available and discussions, as far as expressing intents to bring such a revision to market, was discussed with select companies around then.
He was right about Sakamoto being very happy with Metroid Dread.
This elusive switch pro is very interesting because all things pointed for it be released and announced for a fall 2021 instead of this switch oled. Especially with the games coming in 2022 like Botw2 and Xenoblade 3.
