    Time for another footlong, three-hour-battery, stick-drifting, underpowered monstrosity. Thanks Nintendo, I didn't like the DS anyway lt-dbyf-dubois

    Obligatory Fuck Nintendo

    Bullshit video games company, wait for Steam Deck 2 or buy the OLED model. Games will still have DRM but at least it's more useful in every single way.

      I won't be able to play Smash without the new one though. kitty-birthday-sad

      I expect this is going to launch with a new Smash.

        I sincerely doubt we're getting a new smash anytime soon.

          1998 >2000 > 2005 > 2010 > 2014 > 2018

          The longest gap the franchise has ever had was 5 years. We're at 6 years already, next year will be 7. I think it'll come as a launch title there's no way they haven't been working on it.

            I still doubt theyll make anything more than a port. Nintendo would 100% tell people to drop another bill to buy the same game again

              So, a new Smash title. The same 90+% of content they already made for nearly a Benjamin for the base game, plus all new DLC to buy.

            Dude said making the last one almost killed him. I hope it’s the end of the series tbh, dude deserves a rest and it’s his baby.

              This all the way, like the Sora and Minecraft Steve additions should be a signal enough that Smash has run its course.

              How about some new fighting games instead of rehashing the same concept over and over again.

    Here's hoping they have another day one security exploit like the last one and we get emulators quickly.

    This is Furukawa, President of Nintendo. We will make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year. It will have been over nine years since we announced the existence of Nintendo Switch back in March 2015. We will be holding a Nintendo Direct this June regarding the Nintendo Switch software lineup for the latter half of 2024, but please be aware that there will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during that presentation.
