So Chuds what do we think will come out first. Persona 6 or Skyrim 2?
Metaphor came out in 2024 so most pessimistic estimate would be 2029 for a 5 year dev cycle. But honestly I'm thinking 2028 or earlier because otherwise they would have saved the P6 announcement to coincide with Xbox's next gen console show.
 
my expectations were at rock bottom, so the fact that I got even ONE thing to be cautiously optimistic about (the new Spyro game) feels nothing short of miraculous.
There's a few things that interested me, but for the most part I'm more invested in seeing what Nintendo's got for the rest of the year. Spyro is a definite win though.
 
I was talking to a buddy of mine about this - even though the Switch 1's launch year wasn't packed, we had tons of announcements of what was coming. Everyone knew Smash Ultimate et al. were coming.

We don't even know what's coming other than Pokemon Nigs and Gays, and another Fire Emblem game for women who smell like manwich.
Within one year we had released:
-Mario Kart World and GameCube games on release [including F-Zero GX, the franchise everyone complains Nintendo never supports]
-Donkey Kong Bananza
-Kirby Air Riders
-Hyrule Warriors 3
-FAST Fusion [AKA what Nintendo replaced F-Zero with]
-Mario Tennis Fever
-Pokémon Pokopia
-Yoshi and the Mysterious Book
-Rhythm Heaven Fever [just before the 1 year anniversary]

That's with me trying to specify full games and not try to list games that were boosted with upgrade packs like Kirby & the Forgotten Land, Mario Party Jamboree or Super Mario Bros. Wonder, or games that were multiplatform but feel Nintendo Switch 2-enough. Is having a bunch of announcements for things that won't come for years really better than actually having the games?

Nigger, we had BotW, Mario Odyssey, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 all in the launch year for Switch 1.

Poorly emulated Gamecube games, Niggerkong Bananza, and a now dead Mario Kart title are not secret signs of momentum. Pokopia is the only title that's even close to a hit.

Breath of the Wild was cross-gen. I know it's easy to forget that given the Wii U situation, but still.
 
It was so cross-gen that they wheeled it out to sell the Switch 2 as well.
Maybe that's the real secret sauce to continue to churn out consoles that are a gen+ behind the competition... you can perpetually sell remakes and remasters of old games... at the rate Nintendo improves their hardware, they'll release an updated Botw for 4k 60fps in 2050 and people will still buy it :story:

>"Noooo you guys just don't understand Nintendo's master plan... They keep the hardware lower-spec so the games are easier to develop unlike the 5+ year dev timelines for AAA on other consoles."
>games still take 5+ years to develop and cost 70 dollars on release but also look like blurry dogshit

I like Nintendo. I'm a millennial who was exposed to the Super Nintendo during the point in my early childhood development where my brain was softest and most vulnerable to being fucked up by colorful bing bing wahoo mind poison from devious Japs. I bought a Switch 2 and Mario Kart World on launch because they forever have a hold over my lizard brain.

But anyone pretending like they are somehow not dragging their feet and sandbagging is delulu. They know fanboys will line up and suck their assholes clean for a paid patch that toggles off the arbitrary framerate and resolution caps in a Switch 1 game, and have thus concluded that putting in the minimum effort is fine for now.

Nintendo knows they can coast when they're successful, we've seen it happen before. What we're lacking right now is quantity. The next Direct needs to fill out the rest of the year.
 
It seems Atlus has better output than Bethesda with their 76 fallout 76 expansions so probably the former.
Atlus needs to bring back these games one day.

As far as the normies care, that will be more than enough for the year and some, and Nintendo has had that audience back since the first Switch after spending multiple console generation trying to chase it, most aparent since the Wii (and almost losing it with the Wii U) trying to chase after it, with any "hardcore" appeal they had in thier history being purely incidental or one-off games or subseries if it wasn't farmed out to a separately owned or third party studio.
