Today's Nintendo Direct announced among multiple other games, that Metroid Prime 4 will release in 2025. A lot of people are of the assumption that the Switch 2 will also be releasing sometime next year as well. (youtu.be)

People have been saying Switch 2 Coming Soon! since fucking 2020.

Until its announced out loud, anyone still trying to talk about it or believing the "rumors" is an actual retard.

Aren't there phones with more powerful GPUs than a switch?

Yeah probably. There are plenty ways that it could be upgraded on.

But Nintendo hasn't confirmed a single one, while people have been hyping Switch 2 (so little a fuck is given it doesn't even have a name) since the month Switch 1 dropped.

Nintendo does their retarded gimmick shit with almost every console and even game they make, it stands to reason that they are waiting to have one good enough to make a new console over rather than pure hardware upgrades.

It's no wonder they fight EMU so hard. I would never pick up a switch. There might be Nintendo games I'd play if I could.

Their hardware is so simply and easy that every single console is easily emulatable, often during its lifetime. Heck the Switch has games that are running better on emulators days before their actual physical release. Which means its actual competition instead of people playing games they don't even sell anymore.

While I don't personally like how hard they go after people, I also get why they do.

Back in 2017 when the original Switch came out, there were phones with more powerful GPUs than the original Switch had.

Yeah that's kind of what I thought. I know Nvidia even had some GPUs in phones. Which, I didn't check, but is probably better than anything Nintendo mass produced.

The rumored specs of the Switch 2 are that it's gonna be PS4/XB1 level if not better, but I'm gonna wait for the announcement. Those same rumors say that the announcement's gonna be in the fall, but we'll see.

Nintendo themselves have stated it'll be officially announced before March, so they're finally getting close.

Appreciate the heads up. Its impossible to actually hear real news like that admist the swirl of "assume" and "rumors" about it.

Yeah, you're right on about it having been non-stop for the past few years. This one came straight from the horse's mouth, though. That being said, I'm hoping we're not looking at years between the announcement and the actual release.
