Arceus has already seen substantial improvements in more recent videos, and that first one was said to be from an older build than even that point. I viewed that first trailer as more of a conceptual one, not an alpha build. I'm sure it will look far more impressive the next video they show. Also, no way Arceus will be technically more complex than Botw, in my opinion. If that game has issues it is because of Gamefreak not being very experienced with powerful engine development, not because of the Switch's power. Also, as I've pointed out in other threads, based on history Nintendo typically releases successor consoles 1.99 years (on average) after the final big iteration (big meaning substantial upgrade, not mini wii type iterations). So if they stick to that average it will come October 2023, but they did have one gap about 1.33 years as I also pointed out, so Switch 2 could come as early as February 2023, but I'm inclined to think October will be more likely, which would be 6.5 years after Switch 1 came out (which would count as a longer life cycle than normal, especially considering the Wii U was like 5 years).

Wait, they showed more recent footage? Did I miss a direct at some point? I haven't seen a thing about it except for the release date since the initial trailer. I was hoping we would get a new trailer at E3, and then we didn't.

Not that recently, but sometime after the initial showing (I can't find it now that I try to look). I believe I remember people pointing out specific improvements seen since the first showing.
