We don't know that for sure at this point; it is certainly possible that Nintendo may try to keep Switch 1 in production longer, or they may simply cut it off. Either way, it will not be getting Nintendo's flagship games going forwards like the next 3D Mario, 3D Zelda, etc, so while it offers an excellent legacy library, if you're interested in playing new games over the coming years, then Switch 2 offers vastly superior value with which Lite just can't compete. |
Correct. We don't know for sure... And that also applies to your assertion about other flagships like Mario or Zelda.
But we do know that... It's been 9 months since the Switch 2 released and Nintendo still hasn't discontinued the Switch Lite, Switch LCD or Switch OLED or even indicated a cessation in production.
And we also know that Nintendo is still releasing games for the Switch Lite, Switch LCD and Switch OLED. We just got Pokemon Z-A and we just got Metroid Prime 4. |
Switch 1 didn't get Mario Kart World, or Donkey Kong Bananza, or Kirby Air Riders, or Drag x Drive, or Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment though, and most future titles such as Splatoon Raiders, Pokémon Pokopia, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, and Fire Emblem are announced for Switch 2 only, so the pattern we're currently seeing where the majority of games aren't crossgen and Switch 1 support is winding down with the only first party titles still announced being smaller titles like Tomodachi Life and Rhythm Heaven.
