For context, I'm a Juneteenth baby. But it makes sense that Nintendo wouldn't do a Direct on what's now considered a national holiday. That said, if Nintendo's reading this, I'll gladly accept a new Rhythm Heaven game as my early birthday...
"Join us for a #NintendoDirect livestream focused on #NintendoSwitch games coming in the second half of 2024! There will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during this presentation."
While this is true I would recommend choosing just a few of your favourite games from each console, in which case you can probably fit your all time fav games from every Nintendo console on a 256gb SD card, and probably a 32GB for all you faves pre Wii.
As someone who has an overwhelmingly large ROM library, I often find I have nothing to play because my library is too large.
Silksong has already had some kind of deal with Microsoft in place, so if it shows up on a platform holder's stream rather than their own thing, it's more likely they show up with Microsoft than Nintendo. Given that it got content rated already, it's still due for a release this year, so maybe we hear about it with Gamescom.
This is the Direct where they announce Twilight Princess and Wind Waker for the Switch. I can feel it! I wish they would, but I’m not holding my breath.
Yeah, if I remember correctly they’ve said they’ve been working on or have completed a remastered Oracle of Ages/Seasons in the style of Link’s Awakening.
I waited for years for them to release them on the switch and I finally just emulated them on the steam deck. Not sure why Nintendo doesn't want my money
Eh, if there's no announcement, I can't be bothered. As of late, the Switch has been showing its age to me. I don't want to buy games for out of date hardware; I will play the games that I own, but not buy another game until Nintendo gets vastly improved hardware out there.
Honestly, I’d accept something much better but not a massive upgrade. The thing enough power under the hood to make it easier for devs to port their games. Making the Switch an attractive choice and for games to run smoothly on their handheld/console. I would prefer Nintendo bring back home consoles, as it would be easier to make a strong performer.
My hope is that they make a true contender, however, this might not be Nintendo’s plan. They very well may choose to make another gimmick; perhaps Nintendo will refine a gimmick this time with their next hardware release?
I doubt they will. Ninendo is not fighting with PS and Xbox, and it surely has no reason to fight with Steam Deck and other powerful portables. They found their market, and they are extremely successful at what they are doing. One does not need super hardware to create wonderful games.
