Gogetonthebus Posted September 18 Posted September 18 The hardware leaks... USB-C ports on the top and bottom. Switch Vers. Imagine if they sold small second screens to plug into the top for DS/3DS ports 1
Rence Posted September 18 Posted September 18 The original Switch was revealed 12 hours after its announcement. There's still hope
Eóghan Posted September 18 Posted September 18 it's such a weird decision to not announce it after Echoes of Wisdom (their last big release) they just have to wait 10 more days; what's the rush?
SlowGinFizzzz Posted September 18 Posted September 18 So are we expecting something to actually happen within the next couple days? Or is it just that people are excited now because of the alleged leak? Personally, I still don't see a reason for them to announce it now and thus hurt the Switch's final holiday season instead of just waiting until January, but I'll happily be proven wrong.
Puttanesca Posted September 18 Posted September 18 I wonder what games will be announced with the Switch 2.

I absolute agree with this. It's clear Nintendo wants the switch to be the console of the 2024 holiday season, and it seems weird for them to announce the next gen right before everyone is getting ready to holiday shop. I do know that the switch had a similar rollout (announced in October) but it was following the Wii U and wasn't going to make a dent in sales, meanwhile the switch is a power seller.
Eóghan Posted September 18 Posted September 18 new 3D mario is all I ask with the Switch 2 release and I'll be satisfied. people say AC is out of the question but tbh I wouldn't be surprised if it's announced with switch 2. yes there was 8 years between New Leaf and New Horizons but at the time AC wasn't a priority for Nintendo. the AC team also had to work on Plaza, Happy Home Designer, Amiibo Festival, New Leaf Amiibo, Pocket Camp ... etc in the meantime. and none of them were as fruitful as the 45 million copies of New Horizons.

I think the Splatoon team are the same team that work on Animal Crossing, so that's another reason why the gap between New Leaf & New Horizons was so large. And it makes sense why they stopped supporting NH in late 2021 to shift gears to Splatoon 3. I agree that they're going to really prioritize the next AC game after the response to NH and it'll likely come out earlier in the next console's life cycle than NH did, but I don't expect it to be a launch title coming so close off of Splatoon 3's ongoing content just now starting to sunset. As much as I'd love to see it.
Puttanesca Posted September 18 Posted September 18 They need to bring AC back to its roots. I'm done with the designer island bs. I want interesting characters and fun things to do. This time there won't be any lockdowns inflating prices, I fear! 7 1 1

New Leaf's level of control was much better. Just give us lots of fun events, more sociable villagers and furniture that you can just buy in its finished form from shops (of which there should also be more). 3

I've played AC since the GC days, and while NH served its purpose very well (I clocked 1,000+ hours during the pandemic), it's more of a sandbox/dollhouse game than a true AC title. I happily played New Leaf for years, even before the massive free update several years in, but I hardly touched AC all this year :( Hoping for the best of both worlds with the next Switch title; build on the good things from New Horizons, but please go back to the old feel of AC. I miss villagers with personalities, doing tasks and errands for them, mini games, certain furniture sets, bring back the discarded NPCs, and so much more… 3

And the Zelda direction is especially frightening since that's an action game and not a sim. I have no doubt that echoes of wisdom is gonna be amazing but did they really need me to have to craft beds to get higher up on a cliff? 1
