@@mr_m4613 Remember that PS6 and the 5th generation of Xbox would launch around November 2027. Do you really think that Nintendo is going to release their next console near the end of this console generation or the start of the next one? We're already at the halfway point of the 9th generation. We've also entered Switch's final year. We're going to have a new console by next year.
That makes no sense when you already know the next switch is gonna perform at last gen levels. It’s already gonna be outdated. And that’s already using artificial upscaling as a crutch.
Yeah, was actually pretty surprised they didn't have Seth along for this one that was like 100% Nintendo. They've had him on before for way less Nintendo talk than this episode had. They really might want to consider having a three person team with Daemon more often tbh.
Share the stage how so? No one gives a f about PS5 or Series X now, and by November people will give even less fcks about these consoles. Plus Sony announced they have basically nothing for this year. They cleared the way for Switch 2 in 2024. In 2025 there will be GTA6, PS5 Pro, more exclusives from Sony and Microsoft... 2024 is the perfect year for a new Switch
Would be nice to have the Switch successor release sooner rather than later. Especially when Nintendo's current hardware is in dire need of an upgrade. Expect to see more remakes/remasters and ports of older games until their next console releases.
@@cityplanner3063 Why would anyone play 3rd party games on the switch in the first place???? its a much better experience on other consoles. You get a switch to play Nintendo games
Launching it in March 2025 makes sense overall. However, Nintendo may want to find some new game with mass appeal to release in the second half of this year if they don’t want to kill all of the Switch’s remaining momentum for the holidays.
Imagine what a 8 years gap between Switch 1 & Switch 2 processor can do. We know that mobile technologies vastly improved every year. Between non customised (Switch 1) vs customised (Switch 2) processor it's gigantic advancement in graphics power & efficiency 💪
PS2 is no longer in world wide production? Those are superficial numbers if they were in-production that would be different numbers but it's not in-production.
Why would they announce before Christmas and ruin holiday sales for themselves? The Wii U wasn’t selling and they needed time to build hype. Not this time around :)
Stop overthinking the Pokemon Legends announcement. Detective Pikachu used the exact same verbage of releasing for Nintendo Switch systems when it was officially revealed.
Nintendo needs to be sure that when new Xbox releases and also PS6, then Nintendo needs to be powerful enough to handle ports that developers make for these systems.
It's hilarious that YOU suggest that it is a "delay" and that YOU were expecting it to be released in the 2nd half of 2024 when Nintendo has said literally nothing. There's no delay. There's rumors, and we all know what people who spread rumors are like. [cough]
Why is everyone in a rush ? Still got decent games releasing ( even Mario /dk was just releases ) . It’s not like ps/Xbox is releasing anything compelling . March 2025 will be release 100%.
I’d love a pokemon game that runs more than 7fps, the national dex, being able to go into buildings like previous gens instead or just menus at the door. For a game that makes billions each release they have the most bare bones pathetic quality imaginable. Done supporting it.
Not true. They make most of their money on software sales, accessories and services, and scalpers aren't buying those. They want a high attach rate & people buying up tons of software, subscribing to NSO, making eShop purchases, etc. and the more units that are sitting on a scalper's shelves, the less money they make.
Don’t ever compare this launch with 2020 launches. PlayStation and Xbox had supply issues which made it harder to release an abundant amount at once. There’s no more shortages on anything just a bad economy at the moment so people might struggle more to buy one this time around
When it sells beyond the PS2 to become the greatest selling console ever. But in terms of business, it’s when the Switch no longer sells, that’s how businesses work. Do IGN know nothing about how businesses work?
You know the gaming industry is dead when you're talking about a gaming console that doesn't even exist yet, completely ignoring the gaming console that's already here
Not even Nintendo can combat scalpers. If they’re going to drag their heels on releasing competent hardware, they better release a system that isn’t poorly designed and received. (WiiU all over again.)
"The Switch has now been more phenomenally successful than the Wii." One is a handheld and the other is a console. Get that right. The DS is STILL the best selling handheld in gaming history and the Wii remains the best selling console in Nintendo's history. It's like comparing the Vita to the PS2.
This is a tricky question, because the arena is about to be filled with a lot more handhelds from different companies. Nintendo is going to be guaranteed lost market share to companies like Valve with the SteamDeck. The biggest thing salvaging Switch 2 is backwards compatibility, if that’s going to be a thing for Switch 2.
Literally anytime. It will sell like wildfire regardless of when. We’re talking about the best handheld console in the world that has decade old hardware whose fanbase has been dying for a major upgrade.
More like, when is the best time to ANNOUNCE a Switch 2.
We don’t even have a codename yet 🤣
Wen will @whatphoto launch switch 2 too🎉😂
Still waiting
January 30th, so you can't return the switch from Christmas 😂
Basically the shortest time possible before it launches, because otherwise it slows sales of the Switch 1
Week 2 of asking IGN to put the link to the poll in the description of every NGCW video.
No point cannibalizing sales of a great console to launch its successor undercooked. Launch it when it's ready.
Switch is 7 years old. That's one console generation.
@@lol-ih1tl but you gotta remember that the game boy was on the market for over 12 years, we could have another game boy situation here.

It was discussed on NVC the previous week.
If it's fall 2024, Switch2 will have to share the stage with the PS5/XsX. IF in spring 2025 it can have the spotlight all to itself.
GTA6 is coming next year. And Sony will really go hard in terms of marketing and associate GTA6 with PS5 Pro
It isn't and never was coming this year.
GTA6 yaaawn ^^

Hardware is in desperate need of a refresh by this point. The games are practically playing on a potato.

Let’s all Metroid prime 4 becomes a launch title since it’s reveal since 2017
Hats off to you guys for keeping this series alive since pandemic
Damn, I’m going to try and hold on just in case there is a legends Z-A collection type switch.
that green scale pattern would be great if done right, zygarde's eye somewhere on the console/controller
YOU CAN'T STOP THE SCALPERS...
6:35 wrong, they have been talking about "switch systems" on their official website and in tweets.
The moment the Switch passes the PS2.
PS2 is no longer in world wide production? Those are superficial numbers if they were in-production that would be different numbers but it's not in-production.
Fall most have a ps5 or series. Holiday money missed
At this point Nintendo might as well wait until the next generation at this point. We’re already 4 years in with the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5
Totally agree, because Nintendo needs to handle ports from soon arriving PS6 and new Xbox.
@@kagemara277 yea, then technically they wouldn’t be behind 2 generations
Why would they announce before Christmas and ruin holiday sales for themselves? The Wii U wasn’t selling and they needed time to build hype.
Not this time around :)
no they didn't. because the wii was a major hit. they messed up due to the name, not the timing or building of hype
@@kidrobot. ??
Stop overthinking the Pokemon Legends announcement. Detective Pikachu used the exact same verbage of releasing for Nintendo Switch systems when it was officially revealed.
When you have killer launch titles , release it. No need to wait with the switch 2 hoping for better performance for last gen titles.
You should put the link to the poll in the description

PS6 not coming until 2030’s
@@tytheeprophet5021 People are expecting it to be released in 2027 or 2028.

This right here
Plenty of time before the next Smash comes out so they can optimize the game to its full potential.
Loooool
😐
When it’s ready …….
meh, if they can still put out tears of the kingdom and mario wonder quality games on this switch, what's the rush?
You seen the lineup this year? It's shovelware.
When the Switch stops selling
Why is everyone in a rush ? Still got decent games releasing ( even Mario /dk was just releases ) . It’s not like ps/Xbox is releasing anything compelling . March 2025 will be release 100%.
Nintendo needs to release wind waker and twilight princess!! They would make a killing.
Hopefully 2 more years
Hope its backwards compat and improves switch games when u play them on it that would be nice lol
2025 March/April) launch is perfect, maybe a teaser later this year
Unlike PS5 and XBOX… launch it when it has games worth playing.
Finally, a rational comment.
Whenever the OLED switch was announced…
That’s when they should’ve announced/released.
The slow drag is kind of annoying at this point.
Still waiting those Prime 2 and 3 to come out....
*Remasters of course*
I’d love a pokemon game that runs more than 7fps, the national dex, being able to go into buildings like previous gens instead or just menus at the door. For a game that makes billions each release they have the most bare bones pathetic quality imaginable. Done supporting it.
2026 OR 2027 to better coincide with PS6
Sooo we're ignoring the Sony layoffs 😂
what if that return of the Nintendo Switch 2's front/back camera and microphone in the future
Last year
Right frikin now
And Nintendo couldn't care less about scalpers as all they do is ensure that product is sold immediately, which is what Nintendo wants!
Nintendo do limited prints of games and fight emulation to keep game prices high. So Nintendo effectively encourages scalping.
Not true. They make most of their money on software sales, accessories and services, and scalpers aren't buying those.
They want a high attach rate & people buying up tons of software, subscribing to NSO, making eShop purchases, etc. and the more units that are sitting on a scalper's shelves, the less money they make.
The right time to announce was a year ago
When Switch 2 is released, can Seth be a a part of the panel since it will also be next gen?
Don’t ever compare this launch with 2020 launches. PlayStation and Xbox had supply issues which made it harder to release an abundant amount at once. There’s no more shortages on anything just a bad economy at the moment so people might struggle more to buy one this time around
By what metric is the economy bad?

It better not fail just like the Wii U did with the original Wii.
Announcing Switch 2 prior to 2024 holiday season would cannibalize holiday sales of the Switch 1. Especially if 2 is backwards compatible
They never announced any date so how can it be delayed? 🤨
When "The Playstation Vita is set to succeed". That's the time. Remember that? How you still have an audience is a mystery of the universe.
The launch title will me next Mario Kart
When is the best and right time to close down ign?
Its like every time since 2000
last year?
Why not have Seth or Logan on to talk about Nintendo?
You know the gaming industry is dead when you're talking about a gaming console that doesn't even exist yet, completely ignoring the gaming console that's already here
You imagine if the next 3D Mario that launches with the new Nintendo console is Super Mario......GALAXY 3 baby!!!! Yeaaaah
i’m buying a PS5 Pro if it has significantly higher FPS
that’s the only thing it needs for me
It must be asked, where is Seth.
Not even Nintendo can combat scalpers. If they’re going to drag their heels on releasing competent hardware, they better release a system that isn’t poorly designed and received. (WiiU all over again.)
Do you honestly believe that they're hardcore gamers?
Two years ago
Three years ago.
About 2 years ago
Any time starting 2 years ago
Im selling my switch now before it gets overcrowded
Agree with the 70%
It's also very nonprofitable for nintendo, because they sold the console but most of them sitting on scalpers hand not playing games.
If Metroid Prime 4 and a new 3D Mario game launches with the Switch, Nintendo will make bank for sure!!
Hope to play uncharted trilogy in handheld
Yesterday
When Nintendo says so. Case closed.
Why are these dudes so nervous?
Now the answer is now 😂 really id love one now but wouldn't mind them taking their time to make sure they have enough and that its upgraded decently
It obviously is gonna be released next year

When they can produce enough untied to avoid a PS5 launch disaster. No later than 2025 Q1 though coz even my (non existent) patience runs out 😒
When RUclipsrs stop releasing fake information
Mario odyssey 2
NOW
Pokemon stadium 3
After steam deck3 and rog ally3😂😂

A spring launch also makes sense for a handheld, as people begin to think about getting outside more and traveling.

In the same year the PS5 enters the 2nd (and final) cycle of it’s life, Nintendo launches NSW successor. Just brilliant, Nintendo 👏
Nintendo doesn’t follow Sony’s lead. In general, Nintendo are the market disrupters. It’s Sony reacting to Nintendo for now.
