Probably June/July

Has there ever been a Nintendo console released in the summer?

 

[EruditeHobo]

That's the most meh console reveal of all time. Literally just "here's our new Switch which is exactly like the old Switch but a tiny bit different".

And if that game is MK9, it also looks exactly like MK8.

Incredibly underwhelming, honestly.

They'd better have a killer Mario game coming soon, IMO.

Doesn't matter in the grand scheme though... will sell like hotcakes.

Yes, Famicom, SNES, Gameboy and Gameboy Advance. June/July/August!

A part of me wonders if they will want to keep him on board "essentially" retired but for the optics of having the Legend there.

Like a you were too successful to let go home type deal. You can, but there will be ninjas there to carry you back for a press release.

They're gonna freeze him in carbonite like Walt fucking Disney and let kids gawk at him on a Super Nintendo World ride.

LED or OLED - which is it

Would you pay premium to get the OLED version if they came out with both LCD and OLED at launch?

depends on the price point but i would consider it

So, assuming that the BotW remaster is real, would it be expected to look like the 2015 teaser now?


Or would that be too much of an overhaul? I assume they must’ve put ant least some effort into it if they’re bothering with a remaster when the system is B/C.

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

That's what I was wondering. Graphically it looks almost identical to MK8DX, but that looks like a new track?

Is this Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Deluxe? lol.

It's Mario Kart 8 Double D's.

N64 released in Japan in June as well.

I don’t think the remaster is real. Nintendo is more likely to do a definitive edition. How much sales would they be expecting for a remaster, when BotW is still selling and also BC!

With that type of upgrade graphics it’s more likely to be in new Zelda.

Virtual Boy in August!

I’d be super surprised if it doesn’t happen at this point given the codename leaks, that have all been spot on thus far.

Wind Waker HD got quite an overhaul so it’s not impossible.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

I see all these arguments everywhere on the price.

I DO NOT think Nintendo knows the price yet. I think they are waiting to see on tariffs, I am sure they have a target price, but are unsure of global changes taking place.

Finally caught up on the thread.

Well I had kinda hoped for the announcement of the new console to have been via a Direct showing off the system and games, so of course this was a bit dissappointing.

It seems people are happy that it's a continuation of the Switch but I've always loved that Nintendo always does something unexpected.

Either way as long as they announce a new 3D Mario I'll be there to buy it. Hope they have more 3D platformers such as Donkey Kong in the works. An announcement of expanding online to include Gamecube games would also be cool. Been playing Paper Mario 64 using the Switch and been having an amazing time.

I got an email to sign up for the hands-on experience of it. I was considering it but yea doesn't feel like something I have to go and see.

I signed up for the one in Paris. With my luck I won't get selected, but I doubt I'll have better stuff to do on a Sunday morning anyway.

Yeah exactly. I don't see the big selling point.

Funny too considering how many complain TotK was too much the same game as BotW.
