I mean they had Prime 4, and SR was a 3DS they where not present in the dorecy
Doesn't seem particularly insightful when the crux of the argument is "we haven't seen it announced before E3 therefore it doesn't exist/isn't releasing this year."
So, Maybe No Nintendo Switch Pro Then?
For months now, there have been rumblings that Nintendo has been working on a Switch Pro, a new, upgraded version of the original Switch with 4K capabilities when docked and an OLED handheld screen, among other upgrades.www.forbes.com
Opinion piece written on Forbes on the rumored Switch Pro.
I learned the other day that that's the lady who owns the football club in Ted LassoSome of the worst takes itt over the last few hours…
Okay, that's a really cool feature that more games should use.
My Switch did not have to broadcast this L to my whole friend list like that 😭
I didn't even know it could do that
I think that was just because it was a 3DS game, for some reason.
Did that Direct feature any 3DS stuff?
I mean it was the year of the Switch.
Maybe they didn't get the trailer done in time for the full Direct, but just in time to just broadcast it in Treehouse, but to be honest I'd doubt that.
I don't think they'll treat any game like they are second class like that this time.
I mean they are all on one platform now.
Yeah, but Mochizuki has been saying that it will come this year for quite I while, and in this particular subject I tihink I trust Mochi more than Nate. And I think that, even though there's no reason to release the revision this year sales wise, the reason why Nintendo might be willing to do it is because their upcoming software needs a more powerful hardware, if we take into account that the revision wil be phasing-out the OG Switch.
Your software point is a very good one, I'd be interested to see if they do indeed follow through in that way!
Even Philippe Starck would turn his nose up at that
Some wild ass takes in this thread lmao.
NMH 3 looks like a 360 game lol. I guess at least it wasn't PS2 ahaha.

Guys, would there actually be any benefit, for Nintendo or anyone else, to not show anything related to the New Switch in the E3 Direct?
Obviously IF the hardware reveal is going to happen after E3 (which seems more and more likely imo, I mean we're talking about Nintendo)

Lowkey when it comes to E3 Nintendo predictions I just watch a few and my favorite ones are usually from Rogersbase due to his positive nature. He has fun with his predictions and isn't down like others usually are.
That wasn't really directed at you, though I suppose it looked that way
I guess to minimise time between reveal and release to avoid OG switch sales drop, which isn't a big a problem as some make it out to be. Other than that? No.
NMH3 has a sick artstyle, its footage in older trailers is eh, but in the latest one it's pretty nice
At this point I think we're looking at a July reveal and a September launch. Wasn't September mooted by Bloomberg?
If it is a September launch, then next month for the reveal makes sense. I'd also expect multiple first party games in September and October.

Sorry ;(
Now that is interesting trivia! :D
It was the first E3 direct of the Switch era, they wanted it to be Switch only and it was advertized as much. People forget it, but Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga remake also got announced at that Treehouse.
Directs are back, core games like that won't be announced on Twitter/Youtube. Only EPD4 games and maybe some eshop titles get announced outside of Directs.
Phasing out the OG Switch with more expensive hardware would be a long-term initiative. Can Pro launch this CY? Yes. Will it? We'll find out in due time. It'll certainly make this FY. As for software - the software I'm aware of that takes advantage of Pro in meaningful ways remain 2022 releases. Doesn't mean there won't be any in 2021. The important thing is this: if the system ends up releasing in 2022, it doesn't mean Mochi's info was wrong. Pro launch timing has changed multiple times -- once due to the pandemic.
2021 was never completely off the table. It was more a question of necessity in 2021. We'll find out what Nintendo decided.
Maybe I haven't listened recently enough but he definitely said it sounds more like a 2022 release than a 2021.
I'd go so far as to say Mochizuki is the only relevant source. He is the only journalist working for an international publication with fact checkers and a bigger reputation to worry about that is reporting on this.
It would be pretty meaningful to me if the Pro lets NMHIII and SMTV hit solid framerates and resolutions comparable to their cinematic trailers. I don't think UE4 was really the best choice for either.
Nothing much. Playing some old school Final Fantasy, origins (ps1) on the Vita.
Do you know if it is true that Nvidia is discontinuing the Tegra X1+ this year? If Nvidia indeed is discontinuing the Nvidia X1+, then a revision would make sense and nothing Nintendo would postpone into 2022 I presume, even if the current Switch is selling pretty amazing. It would basically be out of sheer necessity that a revision is released.
Sure, but I wonder what necessity would make Nintendo prone to launch it this CY. It's not sales, that's for sure.
I have not heard anything on that matter. Keep in mind that Lite uses that chip.
Sales would be one factor. Software another. Whether there could be any component shortage impacts. Etc...
They only have one platform and a slow down in sales would hit their bottom line hard. That's why they need to keep the base sales level high. Releasing a pro early will guarantee a certain base level of sales or at least give them an idea if they should continue as is with the Switch concept or do something completely different.
They are not. According to Bloomberg the lite will continue regardless, so they need the tx1 +,
My theory is they will adopt a tick tock strategy. Die shrink/ lite, new chip, die shrink/lite.
And gradually drop of support ofolder iterations.
No more traditional generations. 100% speculation though.
Suppose though that Nvidia is discontinuing the TX1+, wouldn´t Nintendo just take the opportunity to revise the Switch Lite as well? Maybe that's why we have seen listings with two Switch SKUs (assuming these are not fake)
This is kinda Paul Tassi's shtick tbh. His main beat is the looter shooter crowd. His articles boil down to just regurgitating community sentiment and presenting it as analysis. More egregious in this instance since he's writing a bit out of his wheelhouse.
Depends how hard they will push the pro. The OG needed a die shrunk for them to be able to make a smaller version.
I think the reason people still get so hung up about when the Pro is going to launch is because it feels like people are trying to rationalize that it has to launch with some kind of game to take advantage of it when that's never really made much sense to me. The console is a revision. Nintendo definitely want people to pick it up in the long term but it doesn't really need any specific new game to sell it. Given evergreens like BOTW1 still sell, it's probably a far more viable strategy to advertise it on the back of improvements made to existing titles.
A fall release "soft launch" alongside a strong general launch window of games leading up to a harder holiday push feels reasonable to anticipate.

I wouldn't be surprised if they released a new Lite version as well. It's usual strategy for Nintendo to release a number of versions for their consoles, particularly the portable ones.
If you could bring back one feature from the 3DS the Switch which one would it be and why is it StreetPass games?
Activity log is disqualified from this because Nintendo is keeping it hostage in Japan
