Time for another footlong, three-hour-battery, stick-drifting, underpowered monstrosity. Thanks Nintendo, I didn't like the DS anyway
- dont worry nintendo will just have an ultralight vr headset with janky hand detection or something
  
  Virtual boy... 2! *Ode to Joy plays loudly*
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.
  
  I expect this is going to launch with a new Smash.
  
  I sincerely doubt we're getting a new smash anytime soon.
It's me. I'm the switch.
Do we need it? No.

Will it have the same shitty battery and awful framerate? Yep.
do not buy into the walled garden. wait for the emulators
Here's hoping they have another day one security exploit like the last one and we get emulators quickly.
I feel like someone should be taking bets

Wild success for nintendo

Or

Another Wii U
english tweet cause i linked to the japanese version

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.
the fiscal year juuuuuust started so it could be a while, and you get to enjoy what you got that whole time
