Nintendo News: Switch 141.3m units, new Direct in June, and Switch 2 to be announced this year!

Switch 2 needs to be backwards compatible and at least 1080p screen for me to take notice.

Elitest thinking, hardcore gamers, what are you on about?

The Switch is overpriced, that you can't deny, it was $500 in my country when it released, and 60 million people buying a remaster does make them dumb imo.

I'm just someone who doesn't give Nintendo a free pass like most of the gaming community.

Has absolutely nothing to do with elitism or hardcore gamers, maybe you should of asked what I meant by my post instead of assuming something you conjured up in your mind.

I didn't call anyone a moron, those are your words not mine. However people buying remasters in their millions (60+ in this case) it shows the company behind them that they are easily milked, makes them dumb to these companies practices.

The Switch was $500+ in my country when first released, it was overpriced piece of junk because it was 2 gens behind current tech but sold at a premium price.

I hold all these companies accountable, and Nintendo get the biggest free pass from gamers on this site and in general.

@last_lap: While it's unfortunate you feel that way towards Nintendo. Perhaps they'll be able to change your tone when they announced their next-gen console next year.

One thing you can't say bad things about Nintendo is that they do make fun games that aren't cinematic driven games. They focus on gameplay.

@davillain: I doubt I will ever buy another Nintendo gaming device going forward, currently tech onwards I mean. I'm still looking for a NES to replace the one that broke in my collection, but nothing from the Switch onwards.

As a PC gamer you know they sold old tech at a premium price, the Switch was a rip-off when first released (I don't know about now as I don't actively look at Nintendo's prices regulary) and yes it's games focus on gameplay over cutscenes it's content however is aimed at children though. Mario, Peach, Luigi, Bowser, Pokemon etc are all aimed at children, they don't make any games targeted at adults.

And don't get me wrong as I've played a kiddies game here and there, but when that's all you pump out is gets tedious just like how Sony's games get because they're made from the same template.

If people love Nintendo's colourful kiddies games then more power to them, but I don't and I will voice my opinion about it, if people get upset about that then that's their cross to bare not mine

I don’t think Nintendo has ever sold their systems at a loss. That doesn’t make them overpriced. Kind of recall them making a marginally slim profit from each Switch sold. Nothing wrong with that. Definitely got more then my share of value from the system and their games.

@Archangel3371: off topic, but Nintendo is our last beacon of hope for physical games.. The Switch 2 will keep it alive!!

@SolidGame_basic: For now but it wouldn’t surprise me to see Nintendo transition to a more digital distribution with the Switch 2. Probably will have a digital only Switch 2.

If this pans out, those are better specs than I would have guessed.

Speculation on specs is cute. Tell me what is the price point.😏

@Pedro: the Switch 2 is going to rek your ROG Ally 🤣

@SolidGame_basic: Not sure how the ROG Ally relates to my comment but it is clear you are bitter.🤭

I actually doubt that.

Physical copies dominate japan's gaming scene. And Nintendo's domestic market is huge.

Can we stop with the "the system is gonna be powerful" speculation? They're building this system for a granny and a child. Frame rate and resolution is literally unknown to its demographic. You will get the worst mobile hardware available, and you will pretend that "its good enough". This is your life, and i am here to remind you of your situation.

The speculated specs are giving off $399.99 vibes

Digital has overtaken physical in Japan. But physical still has a strong presence in Japan.

Can't wait for the Switch successor to be revealed this year.

The Switch sold that many units without any price drops at all.

I think you missed the point. You mentioned that each generation of gamers is getting dumber and dumber. Moron or dumb, that's the beside the point. My point was that everyone in some degree, calls one generation of gamers (or whatever else people like to argue about) dumb, while the other one is always in the right; they can do no wrong.

In regards to the content of your post, everything is subjective. What you consider a steal, another may consider worthless. My point still stands that if someone finds value in what you may not consider valuable, who cares? You aren't going to stop them from purchasing something that you, and likely many other gamers, find distasteful. Microtransactions is one thing, for example, that will never go away. IMO.
