Nintendo: 'Make New Memories'

This is getting ridiculous. It's already late November and Nintendo still hasn't given any hints about the reveal of the Switch's successor.

Why would they reveal anything? People seem to be really thrilled about buying a fucking Nintendo alarm clock, and some MP3 player or whatever? They can just put out crap and make buckets of money, evidently.

No need to rush a major, interesting launch when they can just continue being Nintendo... the consumer cult will toe the line either way

They're not going to announce a Switch 2 when they're trying to sell a whole bunch of current Switch over the next 2 months.
He was joking, search up the thread here but change 'November' for 'October'.
It was funny because that one guy made the thread in early October. It's early November, "late November", get it?

Nintendo only announces new hardware during the xmas period in order to prevent people from buying other hardware that's getting released in time for xmas, but as nobody else is even making handhelds anymore, they have no competition to worry about so they'll chill until next year.

It's November now, if they had these things manufactured and ready to hit the shelves for xmas, something would have leaked by now, and they wouldn't be funding adverts for the existing hardware for xmas as It would cause confusion, folks thought the Wii U was an accessory because they made that mistake before.

TLDR; you get nothing, set your Alarmo to 2025

The madlads can't help themselves!! 🤣

Three ads in two hours for an eight year old console :messenger_clapping:

If you can't understand why this is happening, look into yourself and ask why.

(I don't understand either. Wtf, Nintendo :messenger_grinning_sweat:)
(Also, how in the world did that second commercial get over 400k views in 1 hour??)

Nintendo is scared. They go from failure to overwhelming success in the console space. It's like a cycle.

They don't want to give up the Switch gravy train, in case the Switch 2 fails.

If they're already in their holiday marketing season then I doubt Switch 2 is getting announced this year. Plus they still have games slated for 2025 announced for Switch 1 until March. We might not see this thing until after that.
 
People keep saying that they don’t want to cannibalise their holiday season, but it seems that they are afraid to announce the pricing of the system.

I don't think the next Switch is coming until the second half of 2025, or possibly 2026(if they got spooked by the idea of a PS6 handheld and went back to the drawing board).

It takes months for mass production, and it takes two months by cargo ship (mass air shipment of millions of units is too expensive) to ship them to the U.S. and three months to Europe.
It would have already leaked if they had begun any of that yet.

Why would they ruin the Christmas sales? If they announce Switch 2 before Christmas chances are 100% some people will just wait. If i was Nintendo i would announce it in February.

I made new memories when I left Nintendo when they went all soft during the SNES era back in the day.

I only have the OG Gameboy from them now. **Weeps in SNES**

No fucking way, it's coming before the end of March
