Based on my backlog I am fine with waiting another year on a new console (especially since I have a personal rule that I don't buy new systems in their first year of release).
Good rule. I stick to the same nowadays. Got burned too many times in the past. It's like we're punished for being early adopters. Especially with the 360's RROD debacle. Never again.
I have a feeling it's going to be a mostly quiet year for the Switch, at least for the time being. Which I'm perfectly fine with, since I won't go broke with exciting games being released one after another like the past couple of years. Plus...I have a backlog of older games that I want to finish.
Yasss I feel the same exact way! It’ll give me the chance to save some $$ and be able to sit back and enjoy a lot of games I’ve been wanting to spend more time with. Love the positive mindset! 😊
I like the way you all interact and have fun in your videos. It really does make a difference in how enjoyable something is to watch when the people in it are having fun and being nice
Only "big game" is going to be the pokemon game this year due to it being time at this point (Unless they want to NOT do a yearly release and if they do THANK GOD)
I think Prime 4 is going to be cross-gen, mainly because Nintendo usually stick to their promise if a game’s dev cycle falls into another generation. I personally think Switch 2 is coming as it stands right now, but I think the February direct will make or break that mentality for a lot of people.
I don't recall Metroid Prime 4 ever being promised to release on the Switch, and we've already had Pikmin 3 go from Wii to Wii U and Luigi's Mansion 3 from Wii U to Switch (though the latter was not announced). I actually think even Metroid Prime 3 went to the Wii after initially being developed for the GC.
It won't function if we keep the name of the 2nd Gamecube sequel. I'd rather have Star Fox function for online multiplayer, but if they Release the Gamecube sequel (or remake) it should have a game title that doesn't break search engines.
Hopefully Nintendo used their crossover with Ubisoft's Battle for Atlas as a basic template for a game set in the Corneria System. Add No Man's Sky's ability to explore on foot, Great Fox as a mobile base, the Landmaster Tank and Blue Marine, it could be revolutionary.
The original Gameboy went for 9 years or more depending on how you look at it. Also, while the switch hasn't had a price drop, it may as well have with the crazy inflation during its life!
@@ItApproaches I suppose not, but even so, a decade of the same device with little to no upgrades is what the Gameboy line was. I'm sure it helped to have a SNES or N64 to keep things fresh though.
@@Nathan-mu1pz The home console had the bigger games and the handheld had a lower maxed out quality, that's why it lasted longer. Also Pokemon was a big reason their handhelds lasted so long. I really want Nintendo to lose the hybrid path and go back to a dedicated home console and dedicated hand held.
it’s a pretty normal year tbh. smaller releases, remakes and ports, and huge amounts of console rumours. that’s the normal end of year cycle… also it’s weird to have a whole video acting like “omg what’s going to happen why are we mostly getting ports and remakes” when it’s pretty certain and obvious what the answer is. you’ve had like 5 other videos in the past few months talking about that exact topic.
It’s quite obvious Nintendo is setting up Donkey Kong for something big. I wouldn’t be surprised if they come up with a donkey Kong 3D game for the switch or the new console.
What's that based off? DK being in the Mario movie lol? Obviously at some point Nintendo will putout a new DK game, though might not be till Retro is done with Prime 4 then goes back to make a 3rd DKC game...
@@naturaleo2831 That has no connection to their game plans. Maybe the other way around, if a game comes out they might take something from it and add it to the park but not the other way around.
It's not actually a problem for battery life. The reason why it uses up more power on phones is that the UI is rendered 120 times per second. But a 120hz display would allow games to run at 60fps as normal, but also 120fps if possible (for simpler games) or at 40fps, as a good in-between option. You can't properly display 40fps on a 60hz screen because 40 doesn't divide 60. For these reasons, I would rather have a 720p 120hz display than a 1080p 60hz one.
I think, given the recent line up that was revealed on the last Direct, it'll be a low key but solid year for the Switch. A lot of those games announced are ones I'm interested in, so I'm happy with what's coming this year/any other announcements that will be made
I have a feeling that the Switch 2 will be some kind of hybrid of home console and mixed-reality portable. You will have the console that you can play on your tv, but also you have this "AR glasses" thing that will work as the portable mode, with the joycons detaching to be used one in each hand and the image is streamed to the glasses from the console, maybe the glasses have some gyroscope too idk, and you carry the console with you in your pocket or something. That will also eliminate the need for a screen in the console, because the screen is the glasses. I just have this feeling, but also because I believe that in some 5 year span the spatial computing thing will be the dominant way of experiencing technology, and maybe this is the time to present it in gaming so it'll still be felt as an exciting novelty.
I see a Switch successor being announced, specs being shown, and demo footage put out; however, I believe the new system won’t drop until between November 2024 at the earliest and March 2025. I can see them waiting until the end of the fiscal year before we get a new system.
My thought on the release of the Switch 2 is that it will be announced this fall with a release date in March of 2025. In the meantime, I expect this year to give us Metroid Prime 2 and 3 Remastered. I think we might see Metroid Prime 2 in February or March, followed by Metroid Prime 3 in October or November. I'm basing this on the assumption that they're not going to push Metroid Prime 4 beyond 2025. It may even be a Switch 2 launch title.
Except 3D allstars wasn’t even remakes, they were just emulation games with not enough quality of life updates & just bare bone minimum, Nintendo would do the same but they haven’t done a collection since the GameCube for Zelda.
If they did an All-Stars for Zelda and it was 3 games like that, Majoras Mask wouldnt be in it. It would be Ocarina, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess.
How the hell is there no legs to rumors of a new Donkey Kong game? You don't build up DK in the movie, open a whole ass theme park, and go back to using Donkey Kong's logo on merchandise after years of all DK merch using the "Super Mario" logo, only to not have big plans for DK.
I find it funny, as Alex said, that a new console makes him nervous because the whole channel is built around the Switch. Because that’s the case for a lot of RUclips channels. Their whole identity is built around a specific piece of hardware, so when that hardware gets replaced their channel crumbles… or they at least have to reform.
At least in Europe, The Switch got a price drop a couple years I think. It was a minimal one: the original Switch's price was dropped by €20, while the OLED model's price was brought down to the original model's original price. So a rather inconsequential price drop. Still, the fact that the Switch didn't see a price hike like in the UK, despite record inflation in the last two years, is still something. And while it feels very weird that the Switch still retails for close to its original price 7 years into its lifetime, the fact is it's still making record sales at such prices, so it really isn't surprising Nintendo won't drop the prices any further. As for a Switch 2 (or whatever successor name it will have) announcement, I think we'll only get one this year if the sales figures start dropping quickly. Nintendo is probably ready to announce the new hardware at any time, but wants to time it just right to not hit on Switch sales too hard. A holiday release only makes sense if they feel they won't make projected figures for the Switch alone during the next holiday season. There may also be concerns of hardware availability. We're still suffering chip shortages that increase hardware costs, and Nintendo may not be willing to increase the price of the next hardware by too much. They are already at the edge of what the market will take, especially when it comes to peripherals, so they can't afford to increase prices too much.
A note on Switch Pricing: In Canada the base Switch launched at $379.99, and is currently $399.99 (to clarify I'm not referring to the OLED model, which is $449.99). So in some parts of the world, the price of the base console has actually gone up.
Is it just me or has everyone been getting non-stop RUclips ads for the Another Code game? For such a niche game I’m surprised how hard Nintendo seems to be pushing it
I’m only ten minutes into the video so maybe they’ll talk about it later in the video (tho I doubt it), but one thing I’d love to see is a new dedicated handheld. I know the Switch is a hybrid console that can function as a large handheld, but I think Nintendo has always excelled at creating dedicated handhelds-specifically ones that easily and comfortably fit in your hands. Game Boy, GBA, DS and 3DS-all super successful and created avenues for unique and engaging games, many of which likely wouldn’t have otherwise come out. It could pair with or compliment the Switch successor in some way, like they’ve done in the past with Game Boy/SNES, GBA/GameCube, etc. No one online seems to be talking about a new Nintendo dedicated handheld these days, so maybe I’m the outlier here, but I’d buy it day 1 if they ever release another one.
If you guys remember the Switch launch there was little to no sense to buy it for like the first 9 months. They were only expecting core fans to get it. I feel that's how they will do everything with its successors. Most games for about a year are gonna be cross-gen and then slowly after all the core fans will "switch" and a more casual audience start getting the console, Nintendo will start introducing more and more exclusives.
I want so much Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD on switch, because I have a Wii U, but never bought them. Nowadays, they’ve become collectors’ items and are too much expensive, even for a used copy, which is insane.
I don’t see how you believe new hardware isn’t coming in 2024. Nintendo is severely lagging behind in terms of power, the switch performance is atrocious compared to everything else. Sure, Nintendo exclusives play great but to not announce and release something for holiday 2024 would hurt them from a business standpoint. No one is buying a switch anymore. Anyone who wants one, has one. The sales are about to come to a screeching halt, Nintendo starting to stop making new copies of certain games and only releasing remakes is all pointing to an announcement for new hardware in the next few months. Mark my words. We’ll have a new, WAY better Nintendo console by November 2024.
@@Itzascript Samus has the visor already tho. It was made for this. Seeing an infrared and ultraviolet vision. Etc. The dark/alone feeling/mood. The ambience. The screen turning red when you’re taking damage.
My only prediction is that another Vanillaware remake will be released on the Switch in the coming year. Either Muramasa: The Demon Blade or Dragon's Crown.
I see the launch titles (if the system launches in November, which I suspect it will) being three first party Nintendo games, new 3D Mario, Pokemon Gen 5 remakes and a Yoshi or Kirby title. I would love for MK9 to be a launch game, but that and a new 3D Mario on the same day is a bit much on the Mario side lol. There is a possibility of a Zelda remake aka Windwaker/Twilight....I hesitate on Ocarina though lol. As for Prime 4, that depends on a few things, Prime 2 and 3 remastered have to come out before we get to Prime 4. And I think Prime 4 stays Switch exclusive but with backwards compatibility all four Primes can be played on the new system anyway. I just don't see Retro having enough time to build Prime 4 from the ground up for Switch, learn the Switch inside and out, learn the new system inside and out, and make a separate version. That's WAY to much for Retro to do in 5 years time.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my Nintendo Switch, to the point where I find it surpassing my Xbox and PlayStation 5 in terms of overall satisfaction. The seamless gameplay and immersive experiences it offers have truly captured my attention. In fact, I am so enamored with the Switch that I wouldn't mind giving it another year of exclusive gaming. The Limited Editions, despite their seemingly unnecessary nature, have only added to my love for the console. The unique designs and exclusivity they bring have made my gaming experiences even more enjoyable. It may seem unconventional, but I genuinely believe that the Nintendo Switch offers one of the best gaming experiences, whether I'm playing at home or on the go.
I honestly think Nintendo are more likely to do an AR Console than a VR Console. I can absolutely picture them releasing a console that consists of a tabletop-gaming-board looking console and cheap version of something like Google Lenses... with a top-down Zelda for a launch title. I feel like we're at the point where either Nintendo do that, or Bandai pick either Tamagotchi or Digimon to give an AR V-Pet.
I'm a bit with Alex on this one. I don't want new hardware from Nintendo unless it's well thought out and has amazing launch titles. We don't need a new Nintendo console unless it's really worthwhile. FWIW while we're dreaming would love a refresh on the Donkey Kong series for a launch title, a really amazing 3d DK would be grand. A new 3d Mario would be great. Not sure how they'll fill the Zelda gap, maybe with Wind Waker. It's possible that a new 3d Zelda has also been in development for new hardware. ToTK seems like it could have been a smaller team working on it--so much was already developed for BotW.
Its going to be very confusing for casual gamers that are most of switch's player base now. I think Nintendo will get trapped making cross gen for all new games for like 2-3 years
@@chiquita683Nah, only games already mentioned for Switch will be for switch. Nintendo won't be making double versions of their games. An occasional one maybe, like how BOTW had both Wii U and Switch as a launch game, but most of their games? Nah. They will trickle out the last Switch games that have been in the works for a while and while the new system is out, the Switch will have a year of cross over where essentially Nintendo is supporting two systems, like their older days when they hand a home console and handheld out at the same time.
the switch is a very different animal than older nintendo consoles, times are very different, its hard to see that they would just ditch it completely and move on without providing more of an easier transition.@@ItApproaches
Hades 2, Thank Goodness You're Here, Metal Gear Tactics, Suikoden remakes, Unicorn Overlord, Princess Peach, Thousand Year Door, LM2, Possibly Silk Song & Prime 2 & 3 & whatever other suprize drops we get. Its a healthy year for the Switch
For me it's perfectly normal that Nintendo is investing in remakes this year. Not to mention that large companies also do this constantly. It will be and has started to be a great year for Nintendo.
It mainly depends on sales. If you have a console still selling really well, then you wouldn't want to come out with something new to undermine/take away sales from the older console. Thats also why they wait last minute to announce a new console before releasing it(cause why would i by the older console when the next gen is coming out around the holidays).
1:26 finally!!! Alex is first person I’ve heard say there probably won’t be a new switch this year. Everyone else is acting like it’s an inevitability. I don’t think it’s coming either!
I’m fine waiting until 2025 for a new console. Besides, even if it does drop this year, it’s likely not until later fall/winter, which is most of a year away anyway, so it’s not a huge difference tbh. My guess is the new console will drop sometime between November 2024 and March 2025 to coincide with the end of Nintendo’s fiscal year. As for back compat? It’s probably gonna be partial. I don’t expect we’ll be able to play every Switch game on the new system, and what support we do get for older games will likely have to roll out via patches per title.
Nah, it can be like how the 3DS could play DS games, just pop them in and away you go, no extra work or steps need be done. Both Switch and the new system will likely use the same cartridges.
I hope that the next Nintendo system will sell well because a lot of people bought their Switch in the past 2 or 3 years during the pandemic and so they feel like their console is still new and so they might not feel like upgrading.
i agree with you tho at least here in the us i haven’t seen a big mark down on the switch. if it suddenly became way cheaper i would bought tons of them for Christmas gifts
Guys, it's going to be a Switch 3D. They nearly perfected the 3D with the New 3DS, they are going to make it even better this time with a 7.2inch screen 1080p 60FPS. I'm shooting for the stars.
- ok, Counter-prediction: Because there is such a high demand for it, the Pokemon Company has cancelled & removed any internal plans for Legends Kyurem, and possibly the entire Legends game-line - I'm still disappointed Nintendo stopped updating New Horizons after adding The Roost, that game needs so much more post-launch content... maybe even fix the stupid decision & let you store multiple Islands per system - i would LOVE if Nintendo used this as an excuse to fully redesign the JOYcons & add back the Sensor bar on the Switch 2 Dock, but they will use the excuse of "Backwards compatibility issue" to keep the same crappy ones we have now - no idea why Capcom is missing out on making a Megaman Treasure Collection that includes all 3 Legends games, the Legends 3 Demo, & all the missing Spin-offs, yall are missing out on Maverick Hunter X
I think we will get another console this year but it won't release until November and we won't hear an announcement until probably April and i believe it will basically be an upgraded new console not to different from Switch and will be backwards compatible kind of the same as the transition from 3DS to the New Nintendo 3DS but this is just my opinion
why would they release a mid-gen upgrade only slightly more powerful than the original 7 and a half years after it came out (already nintendo’s largest console cycle)?
@cwega2463 the New Nintendo 3ds was not a Mid-Gen refresh it literally was the next-gen Nintendo handheld system at that time Nintendo still had their home consoles and handheld systems in two different categories while the New Nintendo 3ds was backwards compatible with the original 3ds it also was a significant upgrade in hardware and even though they didn't make that many exclusive New Nintendo 3ds games it played all previous 3ds games better than the original and it allowed for 16bit games as well you can not play super Mario World on a 3ds it can only work on the new Nintendo 3ds because it literally is upgraded hardware in other words the new Nintendo 3ds would have basically been the 3ds 2 not just another 3ds
@cwega2463 also because it would be the best business move to keep the same formula that is working and just improve apond it when Nintendo released the gameboy color it was a big leap forward as far as hardware for a handheld device at that time but Nintendo themselves don't even consider it another generation they literally consider the Gameboy Color and the Gameboy the same gen ( 12 year life Cycle ) and because of that it is literally the 2nd best selling system world wide so far just a few million systems sold less than the PS2 this isn't their first go at this Nintendo has been a successful business for over 100 years i think they got this
@@demonicbrawler3792 The "New 3DS" has never been a "next-gen" anything. It doesn't even qualify as a "mid-gen refresh." It gets it's own category: the mid-gen "smallest measurable change to this console to BARELY run a few new or improved games and BARELY give anyone reason to buy this" refresh. : /
@Synathidy you know what you have a valid point i personally preferred it over the original 3ds but not for the software ( other than the 16bit games that i probably just have nostalgia for and therefore isn't relevant ) but because of the larger screen improved resolution and expanded battery life however i was gaven my 3ds for Christmas and didn't have to buy it myself like i did the new Nintendo 3ds when it released so i guess if i had i may have felt like it wasn't worth putting out the money just to basically buy a slightly improved system than the one i already own
The Switch ‘brand’ is so strong it would insane if they didnt just upgrade the hardware like Zion said. Abanding a brand theyve spent 7 years building would be a really bad merekat-ing decision so dont worry Alex! Trust me 😅
So if nintendo drops the price of the switchlite to possibly under $100. Then why couldn't they sell a "controller" with a screen that can cradle a "tablet" that still is able to dock to the TV and pair with joycon
I just worry about the lifelihood of my digital library. Everything else is positive but if my digital games support goes away because the console has to check that you own it like however it does now with the internet servers. They need to forever give me the ability to access what I paid for and own. Period. Full stop.
you dont own it though. thats the main problem with digital. you own a license to play with the caveat it can be revoked at anytime for anyreason with no warning.
I've thought for a long time Nintendo should go the "platform" route like cell phones. People upgrade their cell phones every ~3 years because because the latest and greatest are better and smoother and have some new features, but with a few exceptions software is not locked to a hardware model--it works on any prior device, within reason. So *most* Switch 2 games would work on the Switch 1, but they'd just be much better on Switch 2. If the game you want to play runs like garbage on Switch 1, that just means you need to upgrade--this is something casual users are accustomed to for their phones, computers, TVs, etc., so it wouldn't be difficult to get people to understand the new paradigm for game consoles. It'd also give Nintendo a software ecosystem, which is something Apple and Google have that console manufacturers don't really have, resetting after each console generation.
@@cyberneticfish8086 Uhh, what I'm talking about is exactly the opposite of planned obsolescence. You keep your original Switch for as long as you want and only upgrade when you need to. The existing console paradigm is once the Switch 2 comes out,, your old Switch is basically abandoned, only good for playing old games and nothing new.
Hearing yall praise baldur's gate is like preaching to the choir to me cuz ive been playing dnd for years and loving it for the reasons yall say you love baldur's gate 3. How fitting that the greatest recent rpg comes from the self proclaimed world's greatest rpg
alex, the switch is already the longest console cycle of a nintendo system ever. before a new console i mean. if the switch 2 releases this holiday season then it’s 7 and a half years old. surely you don’t think nintendo can actually get away with waiting until it’s 8 and a half years old, and just two years before the ps6, to release a new console. the switch barely runs first party ambitious nintendo games anymore. TOTK was a game aimed at 30 fps and dipped to anywhere from 10-15 every few minutes. a $70 game. yes it’s the consoles fault and not the games polish, but that’s the point. it’s the consoles fault. we need new hardware. idk how you’re expecting it to last another almost two years on this hardware LMAO
Honestly this is the thing people don’t consider often. It’s a fairly safe guess that the next Nintendo systems hardware and specs have been locked in by now. So every month they go longer without getting it to market means they’re just launching with weaker and weaker hardware compared to the rest of the industry.
Super, Mario RPG runs almost flawlessly on switch, as do a few other first party Nintendo games like Metroid prime remastered which debunk your statement. Yes, tears of the kingdom pushed the switch, a little bit too hard, but for the most part, did Ted, those Gabe still run mostly smoothly.
@@erikludwig5515 and so what if the hardware of the new system is weaker than the competition Nintendo is not in the business of competing with PlayStation Xbox who lack innovation Nintendo right now is the most innovative company out of the 3 how does the old good figure gave it right now while Sony, especially along with Microsoft to a lesser extent, have ruined gaming while Nintendo is the one remaining flicker of Hope, when it comes to gaming.
Seriously and then says he wants Baldurs Gate 3 on it lmao. So many bad takes in this video and the comments. I don’t know how people don’t want an upgrade
@@Adamtendo_player_1 Mario RPG isn’t an ambitious first party title? it’s a small scale remake of a 30 year old game made by a third party developer who basically just made Dragon Quest games for the DS 20 years ago. Metroid Prime remastered runs well because it’s literally a gamecube game with modern lighting and textures that the switch can run.
That piano song in the back...is it from I am Setsuna? Wonderful little game. Anyway, i do agree that the switch successor isn't going to be around this year either.
The content of the next direct will kind of tell how 2024 would be for Nintendo. So far we have... January: Another Code 1+2 February: Mario VS Donkey Kong Remake March: Princess Peach Showtime Summer 2024: Luigi Mansion 2 HD 2024: Paper Mario TTYD
It will be 7 years in March. It doesn't jump from 7 to 8 when we are talking about years. It will be 7 years old in March. You guys saying it will be going into its 8th year makes it sound like it will be 8 years in March. But it will barely end 7 years in March. And we haven't gotten to March yet. The console is about 7 years old now. It's no where near 8 years yet.
The switch is such a great, versatile console. The only way really I can see where it needs improvement is in its performance but thats literally all I can think of. I love the design of the switch, with the joy cons and such so it will be interesting to see where nintendo go next in terms of hardware.
It's funny how they go through the trouble to remaster Skyward Sword but can't simply port Twilight Princess or Wind Waker. Nintendo knows how big those games are and the fan bases for them. The longer they keep waiting, the more people are keen to emulate it on Steam Deck or some other device. And don't get me started on Switch 2 or Switch Pro. I've been beyond annoyed since the rumors started. They'll announce something when they're ready. After all there was a 7-8 year gap between PS4 and PS5. Nintendo won't just drop the success of the Switch after the Wii U. They know what they're doing, and they also don't know what they're doing.
Well... the thing is, Metroid Prime 4 hasn't been in development for as long as people think. Yes, it was ANNOUNCED 5 years ago, but the first 2 years have been nothing but Pre-production, then 2020 happened. So yeah Metroid Prime 4 has been under development by Retro studios for 3 years at most, which is pretty much the normal development time for a modern era FUNCTIONAL videogame Duke Nukem Forever went thru 10 years of announcements but it got development restarted several times & the final version was made in like 1-2 years
Since Metroid Prime 4 got announced I started my first proper job, moved out of my parents' house, met my now wife and moved to a different country.
Woah
@@WillemvanderPijl It's absolutely mad how long it's been.
Based on my backlog I am fine with waiting another year on a new console (especially since I have a personal rule that I don't buy new systems in their first year of release).
Every time I’ve bought a console in the first year, I’ve regretted it. Think that’s a great rule of thumb to have
I have the same rule, I typically get consoles six months to a year later just in case there are hardware issues that come up.
From a gameplay standpoint, I’m fine with no Switch 2 in 2024. But I can’t deal with another year of leaks and rumors.
Good rule. I stick to the same nowadays. Got burned too many times in the past. It's like we're punished for being early adopters. Especially with the 360's RROD debacle. Never again.
I have a similar rule. No new console until 3 games of interest are released.
I have a feeling it's going to be a mostly quiet year for the Switch, at least for the time being. Which I'm perfectly fine with, since I won't go broke with exciting games being released one after another like the past couple of years.
Plus...I have a backlog of older games that I want to finish.

The original Gameboy went for 9 years or more depending on how you look at it. Also, while the switch hasn't had a price drop, it may as well have with the crazy inflation during its life!
That was back when Nintendo had two consoles going at once, so you can't compare the Switch to the gameboy days.

It’s quite obvious Nintendo is setting up Donkey Kong for something big. I wouldn’t be surprised if they come up with a donkey Kong 3D game for the switch or the new console.
What's that based off? DK being in the Mario movie lol? Obviously at some point Nintendo will putout a new DK game, though might not be till Retro is done with Prime 4 then goes back to make a 3rd DKC game...
@@ItApproaches the theme park maybe???
@@naturaleo2831 That has no connection to their game plans. Maybe the other way around, if a game comes out they might take something from it and add it to the park but not the other way around.
120 refresh rate on handheld sounds overkill in terms of battery life, but if it's used for VR, it could finally make it more accessible.
It's not actually a problem for battery life. The reason why it uses up more power on phones is that the UI is rendered 120 times per second. But a 120hz display would allow games to run at 60fps as normal, but also 120fps if possible (for simpler games) or at 40fps, as a good in-between option. You can't properly display 40fps on a 60hz screen because 40 doesn't divide 60.
For these reasons, I would rather have a 720p 120hz display than a 1080p 60hz one.
Insane. The Switch still feels so new to me.
I think, given the recent line up that was revealed on the last Direct, it'll be a low key but solid year for the Switch. A lot of those games announced are ones I'm interested in, so I'm happy with what's coming this year/any other announcements that will be made
There's still some lingering secrets up Nintendo's sleeve.
Movies and theme parks and console rumors, oh my!
I have a feeling that the Switch 2 will be some kind of hybrid of home console and mixed-reality portable. You will have the console that you can play on your tv, but also you have this "AR glasses" thing that will work as the portable mode, with the joycons detaching to be used one in each hand and the image is streamed to the glasses from the console, maybe the glasses have some gyroscope too idk, and you carry the console with you in your pocket or something. That will also eliminate the need for a screen in the console, because the screen is the glasses.
I just have this feeling, but also because I believe that in some 5 year span the spatial computing thing will be the dominant way of experiencing technology, and maybe this is the time to present it in gaming so it'll still be felt as an exciting novelty.
I’m excited to see what’ll be released on NSO this year. I’m hoping we’ll get Smash 64, DK 64, Banjo Tooie, and Diddy Kong Racing 🤞
Mystical Ninja or nothing
@@mosquitopyjamas9048man we really need that! I miss that game its underrated for me

I see a Switch successor being announced, specs being shown, and demo footage put out; however, I believe the new system won’t drop until between November 2024 at the earliest and March 2025. I can see them waiting until the end of the fiscal year before we get a new system.
My thought on the release of the Switch 2 is that it will be announced this fall with a release date in March of 2025. In the meantime, I expect this year to give us Metroid Prime 2 and 3 Remastered. I think we might see Metroid Prime 2 in February or March, followed by Metroid Prime 3 in October or November. I'm basing this on the assumption that they're not going to push Metroid Prime 4 beyond 2025. It may even be a Switch 2 launch title.
We’ll get a new switch this year
I they announce it in March that would mean a release in the summer. Nintendo never waits longer than that between announcement and release.

I wanted a Zelda 3D Allstars HD Remake, with Ocarina, Majora and Twilight. All in Widescreen.
That alone would make me very happy this year. 😲
It would be both messed up and a little funny if it had a time limit like that Mario 3D all stars games did
Artificial scarcity for the win
Except 3D allstars wasn’t even remakes, they were just emulation games with not enough quality of life updates & just bare bone minimum, Nintendo would do the same but they haven’t done a collection since the GameCube for Zelda.
Honestly at this point I just want them to release Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD on the switch 😢
If they did an All-Stars for Zelda and it was 3 games like that, Majoras Mask wouldnt be in it. It would be Ocarina, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess.
I think this year will be perfectly fine just the way it is
I would love a megaman legends collection, but wouldn't it be crazy if the demo for the third one came with the extras?
Aside from a full MM Legends 3, I think that’s the ideal scenario.
A MegaMan Legends collection would be awesome along with MegaMan Legends 3 considering it was cancelled from the 3Ds.
How the hell is there no legs to rumors of a new Donkey Kong game? You don't build up DK in the movie, open a whole ass theme park, and go back to using Donkey Kong's logo on merchandise after years of all DK merch using the "Super Mario" logo, only to not have big plans for DK.
I find it funny, as Alex said, that a new console makes him nervous because the whole channel is built around the Switch. Because that’s the case for a lot of RUclips channels. Their whole identity is built around a specific piece of hardware, so when that hardware gets replaced their channel crumbles… or they at least have to reform.
That's a them problem. Just brand yourself as a Nintendo channel to avoid that.
At least in Europe, The Switch got a price drop a couple years I think. It was a minimal one: the original Switch's price was dropped by €20, while the OLED model's price was brought down to the original model's original price. So a rather inconsequential price drop. Still, the fact that the Switch didn't see a price hike like in the UK, despite record inflation in the last two years, is still something. And while it feels very weird that the Switch still retails for close to its original price 7 years into its lifetime, the fact is it's still making record sales at such prices, so it really isn't surprising Nintendo won't drop the prices any further.
As for a Switch 2 (or whatever successor name it will have) announcement, I think we'll only get one this year if the sales figures start dropping quickly. Nintendo is probably ready to announce the new hardware at any time, but wants to time it just right to not hit on Switch sales too hard. A holiday release only makes sense if they feel they won't make projected figures for the Switch alone during the next holiday season. There may also be concerns of hardware availability. We're still suffering chip shortages that increase hardware costs, and Nintendo may not be willing to increase the price of the next hardware by too much. They are already at the edge of what the market will take, especially when it comes to peripherals, so they can't afford to increase prices too much.
A note on Switch Pricing: In Canada the base Switch launched at $379.99, and is currently $399.99 (to clarify I'm not referring to the OLED model, which is $449.99). So in some parts of the world, the price of the base console has actually gone up.
Yes, but inflation has also hiked up since covid, so the $20 could be the reason they raised the price
Is it just me or has everyone been getting non-stop RUclips ads for the Another Code game? For such a niche game I’m surprised how hard Nintendo seems to be pushing it
Just you, most people dont see ads
I’m only ten minutes into the video so maybe they’ll talk about it later in the video (tho I doubt it), but one thing I’d love to see is a new dedicated handheld. I know the Switch is a hybrid console that can function as a large handheld, but I think Nintendo has always excelled at creating dedicated handhelds-specifically ones that easily and comfortably fit in your hands. Game Boy, GBA, DS and 3DS-all super successful and created avenues for unique and engaging games, many of which likely wouldn’t have otherwise come out. It could pair with or compliment the Switch successor in some way, like they’ve done in the past with Game Boy/SNES, GBA/GameCube, etc.
No one online seems to be talking about a new Nintendo dedicated handheld these days, so maybe I’m the outlier here, but I’d buy it day 1 if they ever release another one.
The wii u gamepad had ir sensing for pointer controls, it could totally work on switch
If you guys remember the Switch launch there was little to no sense to buy it for like the first 9 months. They were only expecting core fans to get it. I feel that's how they will do everything with its successors. Most games for about a year are gonna be cross-gen and then slowly after all the core fans will "switch" and a more casual audience start getting the console, Nintendo will start introducing more and more exclusives.
I would like the successor to be a simple incremental upgrade. No added gimmick.
Not throwing out the eshop (again) would be nice too.
I want so much Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD on switch, because I have a Wii U, but never bought them. Nowadays, they’ve become collectors’ items and are too much expensive, even for a used copy, which is insane.
I've got a feeling that Metroid Prime 4 will be a launch title for the new console.
The one thing i want the most IS to bring back Dual Screen play, as an option. With (3)DS added to Switch Online
The plastic VR display is brilliant.
I don’t see how you believe new hardware isn’t coming in 2024. Nintendo is severely lagging behind in terms of power, the switch performance is atrocious compared to everything else. Sure, Nintendo exclusives play great but to not announce and release something for holiday 2024 would hurt them from a business standpoint. No one is buying a switch anymore. Anyone who wants one, has one. The sales are about to come to a screeching halt, Nintendo starting to stop making new copies of certain games and only releasing remakes is all pointing to an announcement for new hardware in the next few months. Mark my words. We’ll have a new, WAY better Nintendo console by November 2024.
does anyone remember that Nintendo announced that this console was supposed to have a 10 year life cycle?
I’ve been saying VR for years!
And Metroid Prime in VR would be a game changing experience!
Imagine TOTK VR...

I will take one Windwaker port please
For some reason the "First look at the Nintendo Switch" trailer is unlisted from Nintendo US, UK and JP. For OLED is still up. Random? Idk
My only prediction is that another Vanillaware remake will be released on the Switch in the coming year. Either Muramasa: The Demon Blade or Dragon's Crown.
I see the launch titles (if the system launches in November, which I suspect it will) being three first party Nintendo games, new 3D Mario, Pokemon Gen 5 remakes and a Yoshi or Kirby title. I would love for MK9 to be a launch game, but that and a new 3D Mario on the same day is a bit much on the Mario side lol. There is a possibility of a Zelda remake aka Windwaker/Twilight....I hesitate on Ocarina though lol. As for Prime 4, that depends on a few things, Prime 2 and 3 remastered have to come out before we get to Prime 4. And I think Prime 4 stays Switch exclusive but with backwards compatibility all four Primes can be played on the new system anyway. I just don't see Retro having enough time to build Prime 4 from the ground up for Switch, learn the Switch inside and out, learn the new system inside and out, and make a separate version. That's WAY to much for Retro to do in 5 years time.
I have really been loving the semi-portability of the switch, I really wouldn't like to see a successor drop that.
Sales look pretty good for the Switch. If they keep being like that, we won’t hear about any new Nintendo console during this year.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my Nintendo Switch, to the point where I find it surpassing my Xbox and PlayStation 5 in terms of overall satisfaction. The seamless gameplay and immersive experiences it offers have truly captured my attention. In fact, I am so enamored with the Switch that I wouldn't mind giving it another year of exclusive gaming. The Limited Editions, despite their seemingly unnecessary nature, have only added to my love for the console. The unique designs and exclusivity they bring have made my gaming experiences even more enjoyable. It may seem unconventional, but I genuinely believe that the Nintendo Switch offers one of the best gaming experiences, whether I'm playing at home or on the go.
I honestly think Nintendo are more likely to do an AR Console than a VR Console.
I can absolutely picture them releasing a console that consists of a tabletop-gaming-board looking console and cheap version of something like Google Lenses... with a top-down Zelda for a launch title.
I feel like we're at the point where either Nintendo do that, or Bandai pick either Tamagotchi or Digimon to give an AR V-Pet.
I'd love to see an infrared sensor appear.
Gyro is nice for motion controls but IR is just the best for aiming.
I'm a bit with Alex on this one. I don't want new hardware from Nintendo unless it's well thought out and has amazing launch titles. We don't need a new Nintendo console unless it's really worthwhile. FWIW while we're dreaming would love a refresh on the Donkey Kong series for a launch title, a really amazing 3d DK would be grand. A new 3d Mario would be great. Not sure how they'll fill the Zelda gap, maybe with Wind Waker. It's possible that a new 3d Zelda has also been in development for new hardware. ToTK seems like it could have been a smaller team working on it--so much was already developed for BotW.
I mean, compared to 2023, it will be hard to compete. So many epic games! Excited to see what the Switch 2 is all about. Cheers and rock on!
What i worry about with the next update is that Nintendo is not going to be able to tell a compelling pitch if the be switch is just better graphics.
Its going to be very confusing for casual gamers that are most of switch's player base now. I think Nintendo will get trapped making cross gen for all new games for like 2-3 years
@@chiquita683Nah, only games already mentioned for Switch will be for switch. Nintendo won't be making double versions of their games. An occasional one maybe, like how BOTW had both Wii U and Switch as a launch game, but most of their games? Nah. They will trickle out the last Switch games that have been in the works for a while and while the new system is out, the Switch will have a year of cross over where essentially Nintendo is supporting two systems, like their older days when they hand a home console and handheld out at the same time.
the switch is a very different animal than older nintendo consoles, times are very different, its hard to see that they would just ditch it completely and move on without providing more of an easier transition.@@ItApproaches
@@Jambam96 Nintendo always doesn't odd things. Wouldn't be the first time.
Hades 2, Thank Goodness You're Here, Metal Gear Tactics, Suikoden remakes, Unicorn Overlord, Princess Peach, Thousand Year Door, LM2, Possibly Silk Song & Prime 2 & 3 & whatever other suprize drops we get. Its a healthy year for the Switch
For me it's perfectly normal that Nintendo is investing in remakes this year. Not to mention that large companies also do this constantly. It will be and has started to be a great year for Nintendo.
If they are smart, there will be summer announcement and official new hardware in the holiday season
Switch was $325 on release here in Australia. It's now $450-$500
It mainly depends on sales. If you have a console still selling really well, then you wouldn't want to come out with something new to undermine/take away sales from the older console. Thats also why they wait last minute to announce a new console before releasing it(cause why would i by the older console when the next gen is coming out around the holidays).
The easiest launch title for Nintendo VR hardware would be yet another remake of Star Fox!
I desperately want a Super Switch ™️
1:26 finally!!! Alex is first person I’ve heard say there probably won’t be a new switch this year. Everyone else is acting like it’s an inevitability. I don’t think it’s coming either!
I do think we will get an announcemnt though.
16:29 The only Nintendo game i want this year.
Poor Alex, he's fearful of the next generation because he knows if the Switch 2 sucks that his job could be on the line
I’m fine waiting until 2025 for a new console. Besides, even if it does drop this year, it’s likely not until later fall/winter, which is most of a year away anyway, so it’s not a huge difference tbh. My guess is the new console will drop sometime between November 2024 and March 2025 to coincide with the end of Nintendo’s fiscal year.
As for back compat? It’s probably gonna be partial. I don’t expect we’ll be able to play every Switch game on the new system, and what support we do get for older games will likely have to roll out via patches per title.
Nah, it can be like how the 3DS could play DS games, just pop them in and away you go, no extra work or steps need be done. Both Switch and the new system will likely use the same cartridges.
I hope that the next Nintendo system will sell well because a lot of people bought their Switch in the past 2 or 3 years during the pandemic and so they feel like their console is still new and so they might not feel like upgrading.
i agree with you tho at least here in the us i haven’t seen a big mark down on the switch. if it suddenly became way cheaper i would bought tons of them for Christmas gifts
Alex’s prediction aged very very well
Man, I miss the Wii U. Such an underrated console. I loved my Windwaker edition of the Wii U. Shame it didn't catch on.
As someone who still believes that OoT is the best Zelda game, I absolutely felt Zion when the possibility of a remake was mentioned.
3:58 I've been thinking about this very thing for the past few years. I find it to be such a gamble.
Guys, it's going to be a Switch 3D. They nearly perfected the 3D with the New 3DS, they are going to make it even better this time with a 7.2inch screen 1080p 60FPS.
I'm shooting for the stars.
If any Pokémon game should come out right now it should be a remake of Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky.
My prediction is that the Switch 2 gets confirmed in the recently announced Nintendo Direct for September release.
The Bayonetta 3 BGM is a nice touch
- ok, Counter-prediction: Because there is such a high demand for it, the Pokemon Company has cancelled & removed any internal plans for Legends Kyurem, and possibly the entire Legends game-line
- I'm still disappointed Nintendo stopped updating New Horizons after adding The Roost, that game needs so much more post-launch content... maybe even fix the stupid decision & let you store multiple Islands per system
- i would LOVE if Nintendo used this as an excuse to fully redesign the JOYcons & add back the Sensor bar on the Switch 2 Dock, but they will use the excuse of "Backwards compatibility issue" to keep the same crappy ones we have now
- no idea why Capcom is missing out on making a Megaman Treasure Collection that includes all 3 Legends games, the Legends 3 Demo, & all the missing Spin-offs, yall are missing out on Maverick Hunter X
I don't know if it will be released this year, but they have to announce it. The pressure is too high now.
I would buy a switch 2 on the basis of running switch 1 games better alone
I think we will get another console this year but it won't release until November and we won't hear an announcement until probably April and i believe it will basically be an upgraded new console not to different from Switch and will be backwards compatible kind of the same as the transition from 3DS to the New Nintendo 3DS but this is just my opinion
why would they release a mid-gen upgrade only slightly more powerful than the original 7 and a half years after it came out (already nintendo’s largest console cycle)?
@cwega2463 the New Nintendo 3ds was not a Mid-Gen refresh it literally was the next-gen Nintendo handheld system at that time Nintendo still had their home consoles and handheld systems in two different categories while the New Nintendo 3ds was backwards compatible with the original 3ds it also was a significant upgrade in hardware and even though they didn't make that many exclusive New Nintendo 3ds games it played all previous 3ds games better than the original and it allowed for 16bit games as well you can not play super Mario World on a 3ds it can only work on the new Nintendo 3ds because it literally is upgraded hardware in other words the new Nintendo 3ds would have basically been the 3ds 2 not just another 3ds
@cwega2463 also because it would be the best business move to keep the same formula that is working and just improve apond it when Nintendo released the gameboy color it was a big leap forward as far as hardware for a handheld device at that time but Nintendo themselves don't even consider it another generation they literally consider the Gameboy Color and the Gameboy the same gen ( 12 year life Cycle ) and because of that it is literally the 2nd best selling system world wide so far just a few million systems sold less than the PS2 this isn't their first go at this Nintendo has been a successful business for over 100 years i think they got this
@@demonicbrawler3792 The "New 3DS" has never been a "next-gen" anything. It doesn't even qualify as a "mid-gen refresh." It gets it's own category: the mid-gen "smallest measurable change to this console to BARELY run a few new or improved games and BARELY give anyone reason to buy this" refresh.
: /
@Synathidy you know what you have a valid point i personally preferred it over the original 3ds but not for the software ( other than the 16bit games that i probably just have nostalgia for and therefore isn't relevant ) but because of the larger screen improved resolution and expanded battery life however i was gaven my 3ds for Christmas and didn't have to buy it myself like i did the new Nintendo 3ds when it released so i guess if i had i may have felt like it wasn't worth putting out the money just to basically buy a slightly improved system than the one i already own
All I'm hoping for this year is for that damn new Digimon Story game to be revealed at March cause it's been 8 long years since it's been announced.
The Switch ‘brand’ is so strong it would insane if they didnt just upgrade the hardware like Zion said. Abanding a brand theyve spent 7 years building would be a really bad merekat-ing decision so dont worry Alex! Trust me 😅
So if nintendo drops the price of the switchlite to possibly under $100. Then why couldn't they sell a "controller" with a screen that can cradle a "tablet" that still is able to dock to the TV and pair with joycon
I just worry about the lifelihood of my digital library. Everything else is positive but if my digital games support goes away because the console has to check that you own it like however it does now with the internet servers. They need to forever give me the ability to access what I paid for and own. Period. Full stop.
you dont own it though. thats the main problem with digital. you own a license to play with the caveat it can be revoked at anytime for anyreason with no warning.
I've thought for a long time Nintendo should go the "platform" route like cell phones.
People upgrade their cell phones every ~3 years because because the latest and greatest are better and smoother and have some new features, but with a few exceptions software is not locked to a hardware model--it works on any prior device, within reason.
So *most* Switch 2 games would work on the Switch 1, but they'd just be much better on Switch 2. If the game you want to play runs like garbage on Switch 1, that just means you need to upgrade--this is something casual users are accustomed to for their phones, computers, TVs, etc., so it wouldn't be difficult to get people to understand the new paradigm for game consoles. It'd also give Nintendo a software ecosystem, which is something Apple and Google have that console manufacturers don't really have, resetting after each console generation.
Let's not ask for more planned obsolescence in the tech world please
@@cyberneticfish8086 Uhh, what I'm talking about is exactly the opposite of planned obsolescence. You keep your original Switch for as long as you want and only upgrade when you need to.
The existing console paradigm is once the Switch 2 comes out,, your old Switch is basically abandoned, only good for playing old games and nothing new.
Hearing yall praise baldur's gate is like preaching to the choir to me cuz ive been playing dnd for years and loving it for the reasons yall say you love baldur's gate 3. How fitting that the greatest recent rpg comes from the self proclaimed world's greatest rpg
alex, the switch is already the longest console cycle of a nintendo system ever. before a new console i mean. if the switch 2 releases this holiday season then it’s 7 and a half years old. surely you don’t think nintendo can actually get away with waiting until it’s 8 and a half years old, and just two years before the ps6, to release a new console. the switch barely runs first party ambitious nintendo games anymore.
TOTK was a game aimed at 30 fps and dipped to anywhere from 10-15 every few minutes. a $70 game. yes it’s the consoles fault and not the games polish, but that’s the point. it’s the consoles fault. we need new hardware.
idk how you’re expecting it to last another almost two years on this hardware LMAO
Honestly this is the thing people don’t consider often.
It’s a fairly safe guess that the next Nintendo systems hardware and specs have been locked in by now. So every month they go longer without getting it to market means they’re just launching with weaker and weaker hardware compared to the rest of the industry.
Super, Mario RPG runs almost flawlessly on switch, as do a few other first party Nintendo games like Metroid prime remastered which debunk your statement. Yes, tears of the kingdom pushed the switch, a little bit too hard, but for the most part, did Ted, those Gabe still run mostly smoothly.
@@erikludwig5515 and so what if the hardware of the new system is weaker than the competition Nintendo is not in the business of competing with PlayStation Xbox who lack innovation Nintendo right now is the most innovative company out of the 3 how does the old good figure gave it right now while Sony, especially along with Microsoft to a lesser extent, have ruined gaming while Nintendo is the one remaining flicker of Hope, when it comes to gaming.
Seriously and then says he wants Baldurs Gate 3 on it lmao. So many bad takes in this video and the comments. I don’t know how people don’t want an upgrade
@@Adamtendo_player_1 Mario RPG isn’t an ambitious first party title? it’s a small scale remake of a 30 year old game made by a third party developer who basically just made Dragon Quest games for the DS 20 years ago.
Metroid Prime remastered runs well because it’s literally a gamecube game with modern lighting and textures that the switch can run.
That piano song in the back...is it from I am Setsuna? Wonderful little game.

The content of the next direct will kind of tell how 2024 would be for Nintendo. So far we have...
January: Another Code 1+2
February: Mario VS Donkey Kong Remake
March: Princess Peach Showtime
Summer 2024: Luigi Mansion 2 HD
2024: Paper Mario TTYD
Expect some more summer games, and I doubt there's much for autumn/winter until Switch 2 is announced, probably at a later date too.
Historically, there's Directs in February, June, and September, so hopefully we won't have to wait long to find out.
@@brayoungful yeah, 99% sure that we have a direct in February.
It will be 7 years in March. It doesn't jump from 7 to 8 when we are talking about years. It will be 7 years old in March. You guys saying it will be going into its 8th year makes it sound like it will be 8 years in March. But it will barely end 7 years in March. And we haven't gotten to March yet. The console is about 7 years old now. It's no where near 8 years yet.
Nintendo said that the Switch wasn't replacing the 3DS, not the Wii U.
I just hope Nintendo sells a Tablet only OLED model for $150 or lower before they release a successor.
If I’m being honest I wouldn’t think they would go into Vr, speaking as the Oculus Quests are available
The switch is such a great, versatile console. The only way really I can see where it needs improvement is in its performance but thats literally all I can think of. I love the design of the switch, with the joy cons and such so it will be interesting to see where nintendo go next in terms of hardware.
All I want for the new console is for it to be backwards compatible with switch games so I don't have to buy everything again.
Hard to watch this. Constant interruptions on one of the guys in this video.
They could put the sensor bar in the dock
If they added Pokemon Gens 1 and 2 to Switch Online, I'd be all set for 2024!
It's funny how they go through the trouble to remaster Skyward Sword but can't simply port Twilight Princess or Wind Waker. Nintendo knows how big those games are and the fan bases for them. The longer they keep waiting, the more people are keen to emulate it on Steam Deck or some other device. And don't get me started on Switch 2 or Switch Pro. I've been beyond annoyed since the rumors started. They'll announce something when they're ready. After all there was a 7-8 year gap between PS4 and PS5. Nintendo won't just drop the success of the Switch after the Wii U. They know what they're doing, and they also don't know what they're doing.
4:28 Game Boy to Game Boy Advance was 12 years.
Well... the thing is, Metroid Prime 4 hasn't been in development for as long as people think. Yes, it was ANNOUNCED 5 years ago, but the first 2 years have been nothing but Pre-production, then 2020 happened.
So yeah Metroid Prime 4 has been under development by Retro studios for 3 years at most, which is pretty much the normal development time for a modern era FUNCTIONAL videogame
Duke Nukem Forever went thru 10 years of announcements but it got development restarted several times & the final version was made in like 1-2 years
I'm looking forward to seeing what ports and indie games are coming to the Nintendo switch this year.
Probably not gonna happen, but I would love to see a remake of Link to the Past, akin to what Nintendo did with Link's Awakening.
Jon will fight for the sensor bar
