EXCLUSIVE - Nintendo Switch 2 Will Have a 3-Phase Launch Plan For Its Games

[ampersandrew@lemmy.world]

Agreed, but it is pretty important news for our hobby, and third party titles are tied up in its marketing campaign.

Set your alarm for April 2nd.

I'm betting on $400, quote me on this

Are they saying third-parties don't even have devkits yet? That's a bizarre way to do a launch plan.

[gerudo@lemm.ee]

Maybe they are doing it due to how similar gen1 and 2 are to develop on. Gen2 just gets faster processing power. Maybe Nintendo told the devs target 30 fps on gen1 and we will almost guarantee 60 on gen 2. Or something to that effect.

[falidorn@lemmy.world]

$500 more likely due to tariffs. Maybe $450.

The console will be out of stock for at least 6 months anyway.

Maybe electronics will finally be cheaper in Canada compared to the US

[stovetop@lemmy.world]

This is also my guess. Nintendo knows the demand, they'll do $499.99 for the launch model and release a cheaper "lite" version like the original Switch in 2 years at $350 or $400 or something.

This claim is dubious. Several publishers have already announced Switch 2 games.

Also you can hate Nintendo while still enjoying some of their exclusive games like Zelda and Mario.

[ampersandrew@lemmy.world]

You can, but I sure won't.

[pacman@sh.itjust.works]

Oooof! lol

And you might be right actually. It’s a weird timeline we live in

[krompus@lemmy.world]

More Korok seeds for me!
