Sure, just like the “leakers” guessed it would come out last year, and the year before that, and the year before that… don’t worry, just keep moving that goalpost, you’ll get it right one day.

Yeah, this time the “leaks” are “different”, just like they were “different” last time, and the time before that, and the time before that, and…

Really hope the next 3D Mario is a launch title, very much looking forward to what comes after Odyssey. Bowsers Fury was good, but didn't have the replayability of the other 3D titles

- I'm really disappointed with Wonder too, it just wasn't all that fun or challenging. Probably least favourite mainline 2D. They need to be making these more frequently and there's no need to reinvent the wheel.

  I agree, and rarely see this opinion voiced. So much love for such a subpar game.
  
  The multiplayer especially was one of the worst experiences I’ve seen from Nintendo in a while.

Orbital updates for Russel's teapot.

I can’t say I’m surprised, based on the rumors we’ve been seeing so far, but it is disappointing

Lame if true. The switch is painfully underpowered at this point.

- It was painfully underpowered when it launched. The SoC in it was already 2 years old, the Switch is basically a mid-range smartphone from 2015 that launched in 2017.

  Wasn't the SOCs in Xbox and PlayStation also old on launch.
  
  It takes a fuckton of time to make hardware like that.

- I've got a bridge to sell you - if you think the Switch 2 isn't going to be criminally underpowered.

- Depends, the faves that are made purely for it in mind are great in my opinion. Animal Crossing, mario odyssey and wonder and the like. All look great and run great.

  I agree, but they will undoubtedly be able to do more with more capable hardware. I was also disappointed by the switch’s relative lack of gimmicks beyond its hybrid nature. I miss streetpass, Miiverse, etc. I hope they can get back to some of that on the next gen hardware.

  Weren't there some troubles with Zelda? I think BOTW? The hardware wasn't capable enough and it got all choppy in some parts of the world.

Multiple major media outlets are confirming this.
T239 in 2025?? LCD? Seriously?

Wow, if so, the Switch will be Nintendo's longest-lived console by a wide margin at 8 years.
