Nah don’t change goalposts, show me where I implied Electroplankton & Pokémon are equal releases. You said they see a drop in output and that’s just not true, you don’t get to pick and choose what games count towards their output. Even if you eliminate smaller games like Electroplankton, they still had a hell of an overall lineup every year.

Your next paragraph is presented as an argument but actually supports what I’m saying. Switch 2 in mid-late November 2024 is 18 months after TotK and 13 months after Wonder, leaving an entire year of small-medium releases. That lines up exactly with what you’re saying.

It’s nonsense to think they would delay those games 1-1.5 years for Switch 2 or that their sales would be impacted since Switch will most likely be backwards compatible and Nintendo could very well release updated ports of both those games.

They literally unified their handheld and console divisions so they could have a steady stream of games every year and have smooth transitions between generations.

Actually, after seeing this Direct, I think you're right.  Switch 2 will release either holiday 2024 or early 2025.  They didn't tease anything big like they normally do.

I’m glad to see you come around!
