Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
Make New Memories - pay us another $£60 for this Wii U remake to remember what that was like playing it at 30 fps in 2012.

Wanna bet they will make a killing on yet another Christmas MK8 bundle?

I mean there were the rumblings that it was delayed. The more time goes on and the more we get stuff like Nintendo Music and the Xenoblade Chronicals X announcement the more that seems feasible to me.
If I had to guess they are probably testing the crap out of it for vulnerabilities, because the early hacking of the original switch is what led to yuzu and the ability to easily dump games.
Why would they tank their Christmas sales?
After Halloween it's Christmas until the Dec 31st.
It's going to get hacked within a week no matter what they do.
I think they either wanted one more holiday with the Switch or the launch games just aren't there yet. Nintendo is known to delay games that they feel aren't ready, and launch games are significantly more important for their success than they are for Sony or Microsoft.
Maybe they do an Apple, announce the product a week or two in advance. I don't think you need a long cycle these days from announcement to launch. They had to do it with Switch as investors were getting antsy and WiiU was a dud.
They do a reveal, features, launch games, first year games, etc. Then release it the week after.

Sorry, bro. My local stores already have Christmas decorations and products on display. The war has been lost.

Nintendo has best profit margins in the industry exactly because of thing a like that. Which is really funny because I lately looked into “family” entertainment and I’m sure I can find at least 15-20 PS5 games that fit the bill.
What I find funny and sad at the same time is that both Sony and Microsoft gave up on retail space, come Switch 2 Walmarts and other retailers will be plastered only with Switch 2 ads. They will make a killing.

There is another angle though. If you announce, you might convince some people to wait for Switch 2 instead of grabbing a PS5. They could be trolls and announce on Xmas day via a popup on the system.
I really like to think that the longer the wait, the more powerful it ends up being. The current Switch is so weak, even 10% faster would be huge.

I haven't have my Switch that long, just since November last year, and the first thing I did was putting a tempered glass on top of the screen because I just knew it would scratch it eventually. I don't really use the dock mode at all but so far the screen is perfect.
I guess the best way to dock it is the way Sakurai does, right?

Yeah, unless some of these games are also launch titles for the Switch 2 maybe?

Ah yes, tempered glass are a must for sure!I haven't have my Switch that long, just since November last year, and the first thing I did was putting a tempered glass on top of the screen because I just knew it would scratch it eventually.

Not a bad idea at all to dock it that way!

I remember their TV commercials literally said “upgrade to a Wii U”. I had multiple Wii-owning friends ask me “what’s is it?” when I told them I got one. The normie audience has no idea whether it was an add-on, a mid gen upgrade, or a totally new system.
I hope their marketing team really learned their lesson.

Holy shit. I might actually do this.
Yeah, and have the system completely leaked before that.
Seriously, what's up with Nintendo fans and these weird takes as of late? It's not the end of the world if the console takes a bit more to release, I'm pretty sure that good old Ninty will have more remasters to make the wait a little easier.
Apple's stuff leak months in advance. so what.
Nintendo is not Apple. If there's anything Nintendo hates more than people emulating its games, it's its products (ESPECIALLY major products) getting completely leaked before announcement.

I still don't understand why people expect them to go into great detail right now. Why derail low information consumers that aren't up to date with this stuff, but may be with large press attention? I wouldn't do it, but I also don't operate billion dollar company.

Once they beat the PlayStation 2 in sales and regain that crown that was stolen, they will show off the Switch 2.

The press conference was in January, but they announced it well before that via video

I have a little voice in the back of my head that kind of wishes Nintendo fails with the Switch 2, if nothing more than to punish them for this nonsense of not releasing a successor this many years later or even announcing it for that matter. It's kind of like wanting to see the arrogant fail--this shit is nuts at this point, not even announcing it much less releasing it. I kind of feel like they deserve another WiiU at this point, enough is enough.

The group thumbnails look staged and fake with the gaping mouths and wide eyed looks, whereas the black girl looks more relatable with the average gamer as she's more relaxed and is playing it like how its meant to be played....like a handheld.The madlads can't help themselves!!
Three ads in two hours for an eight year old console
If you can't understand why this is happening, look into yourself and ask why.
(I don't understand either. Wtf, Nintendo)
(Also, how in the world did that second commercial get over 400k views in 1 hour??)
