Would you rather they take the Ubisoft approach of constantly rehashing the same stuff with some new flavor of the month/year added while also barraging you with microtransactions?

Word in the bathroom is that it's indecision for the Switch 1 still remarkably selling well, but also not wanting to push for 2+ year long dev cycles right now when the Switch 2 is being paraded behind the scenes.

They can't really announce much until the new console is ready to be announced.

Yeah, I was about to say it's most of the AAA industry right now. Nintendo and other smaller studios like indies at least have some few new interesting things even while a lot of their stuff is also rehashes.

Exactly. We are being kept in the dark , because all their big upcoming games are on Switch 2, which they haven't officially announced yet.

I dunno man, he can jump like four or five times his own height. Normal dudes can jump like a quarter their height, if you don't count bending the legs for extra height. Even really athletic people don't clear their own height.

move all remaining groundhog mercenaries to the front lines. Have sheep troopers squadrons A and B flank the cows. They're using DC-17 hoof blasters.

Because the Switch is near the end of its lifespan?

That always happens when consoles are nearing the end and preparing for a new gen.

I'm guessing they had decent plans already to roll out the Switch 2 and then saw the Steam Deck, Legion Go, Asus ROG Ally, and all the other handhelds and had to re-evaluate the horsepower and design for theirs and that's why they pushed back the launch which in turn effected the release of their launch titles.

I'll think of a sig later.

The delay to March 2025 is apparently to try and mitigate scalpers and have extra time to produce units.

This is normal though. They've already announced their planned releases for the first half of the year. They'll do another Nintendo Direct, for the second half of the year, in May or June

What they should do is drop the prices of their games so I can buy some of their mid games for a reasonable price.

they've always had this weird attitude where they're willing to let franchises sit dormant unless they can come up with some exciting new gimmick for them

i'd be totally happy if they just cranked out "more of the same" mario/zelda/etc games every few years tbh

I thought so too until the NSMB games happened.

I loved NSMB. I liked Wii ok. I kinda had to force myself to finish 2, and U, well...

Yeah, I hate that part of Nintendo. I'd love a new Star Fox game that was just like a modern Star Fox 64, with more levels. None of the weird gimmicks they keep adding in

I did eventually finish it but it took me literally years because I would get bored with it in minutes.

The problem isn't that it wasn't good. The problem is that it was the fourth "more of the same" game in a row.

Yeah for some reason Nintendo keeps thinking Star Fox needs a gimmick when most of us just want a good railway spaceship/tank shooter. Star Fox Assault was a good direction, but those on ground missions were rough.

I think All Range Mode and the Landmaster were weird gimmicks for the time, right?

I truly hope the reason why we don't hear about it, is because it's going to be the big "Switch 2" Launch title.

Metroid Prime 4, Half-Life 3 and Mega Man Legends 3.

They're holding back for Switch 2 because they saw what having a fantastic first year did for them with Switch 1. I'd only expect remasters/remakes and Prime 4 multiplat for Switch 1 at this point.

It was almost a thing, actually. A platformer FPS reboot of the X series, to be precise. The working title was "Maverick Hunter" and they actually hired the guy who designed Iron Man's MCU suit to do designs. It looked cool AF but they only told us about it after it got cancelled.

It's probably going to be a dual launch title like Twilight Princess and Pokemon Legends Z-A.
