It's best to take a wait and see approach. While the Switch continues to be successful, said success has been slow these past couple of years. As such, they know that the time has come to focus on the next console and begin the transition. Nintendo would be wise to not make any mistakes given their past track record goes regarding successors to consoles.

It’s always wise to approach a new console with caution lately. The red ring of death was just a start, but also to be sure then investment is worth it in the long run, instead of buying it for one or two games and dealing with several dry years full of shovelware

The same can also be said about new game releases. Nintendo needs to avoid another Virtual Boy/Wii U release and the months that followed.

Honestly, unless they announce a new open world Mario game I don't really care about switch 2

Yes… but I’m probably not going to buy it until a new Animal Crossing game or an actually good Pokémon game comes out. That’s what I did with the Switch originally, held off until New Horizons dropped.

Definitely excited. Love the Switch 1 and there’s still a lot of mystery behind the new console to get excited about. But I also really want a new Star Fox

Well, the direct event was interesting. New DK game was the main highlight for me, that game looks awesome. The new Fromsoft game is kinda cool but it sounds like it’s gonna be a multiplayer type thing so meh. Not directly Switch 2 related but it was pretty cool getting the release date for the new Deltarune chapters as well, I’m really looking forward to that.

I’m a bit sussed out by Nintendo pricing Mario Kart at $80 I think it is? And $90 for the physical edition, which sounds like just a download key from what I read and not an actual physical copy that could be played when servers go offline. 80-90 is just too much for a single game, man. There are very few games I’d say are flat out worth 80 or 90 bucks and a Mario Kart game ain’t one of em. I know there’s the inflation argument to be had about video game pricing, but paying $80 for a game is just crazy. Especially when there’s no way to refund or return the game if you don’t like it. Super especially so when it’s a Nintendo game, games that famously never go on sale or decrease in value on the used market. Can’t wait to pay $70 for a 4 year old game on eBay. Do not like that pricing at all.

The actual console price is fine. $450 isn’t great but isn’t terrible either. Do wish that $450 got you an OLED screen though.
