    Clearly this is the one where they show off Metroid Prime 4, right? And the new F-Zero? 🙂

    Any chance of them announcing they’re getting out of the hardware business? As much as I love me some Nintendo, I really don’t think I’ll be buying another console from them.

      Based on the sales of The Switch, I highly doubt it. While I agree that it is due for a refresh, Nintendo doesn’t really chase high end graphics. They’ll put out new hardware eventually that is more powerful than the current Switch, but less powerful than a PS5. They have a bunch of IPs that they know will carry it regardless of if it’s cutting edge or not.

    It feels like we’re getting toward the end of the switch life cycle, but sales are still strong and Nintendo probably would love to hold onto this install base they have. Wonder if we get some acknowledgement of that life cycle or potentially a new console soon.

      Honestly I hope it’s just a Switch 2. I know Nintendo likes to really think outside the box and do different things with their consoles (DS, Wii, Wii U, Switch), but the Switch is basically the coolest gaming device ever. When they showed that the controllers came off and there was a kickstand so you could play Mario Kart with friends wherever, it blew my mind.

      Just update the hardware and fix the joycon drift, and I’ll be happy.
