| snyps said: This is Nintendo we are talking about? No switch successor and no Metroid.. the fact that the current gen is nerfed because of covid gives Nintendo no reason to change anything. They got their system out before the shortages and they are going to ride this money wave like the gameboy |
Game Boy had home consoles alongside it and an explosive new IP in the form of Pokemon that launched in Japan in 1996 and the rest of the world a few years later. Switch has neither, which means riding Switch out for another 3 or more years before replacement is very risky.
And if the dev kit rumors are true, that all but guarantees Switch 2 is coming out 2024 or at least 2025.
