I'm still not buying the Switch Pro rumors. The Switch is setting sales records and has been on the market 4+ years. The longest Nintendo has ever gone between major console releases was 6 - they may as well ride out vanilla Switch into the next console.

As for the games, BotW2 looks awesome (it seems heavily influenced by TP and SS - just give us a massive ocean and we have our trifecta), but the fact that they're "hoping" for a 2022 release suggests Holiday 2022 is our best case scenario. That's 1.5 years away and 5.5 years after BotW. It's clear Covid delayed major game development by a solid year across the industry.

I feel like their hardware pipeline must be underutilized at this point, unless they've scaled back. New Switch just doesn't feel necessary this year though, I agree with that. Looking at 2021 games, there's really no reason for a Switch Pro. Nintendo hardware is always so compelling (either way!) so it's fun to think about what they'll do.

Botw2 does look cool from what they have been able to show us. I wonder at what point was Sky World in their design.
