>>1034815 Was the Chyna leak bogus? I thought we were getting Switch, but with magnetic joycons? Image unassociated.

>>1034819 >sexualizing the Luca

>>1034812 >With the original Switch the gimmick was that you can play all your favorite console games on the go That was already more or less the appeal of the Playstation Portable and its ability to play games alike to the ones on home consoles (with the ports too) to be fair. Nintendo also places a lot of importance on it partnership with third-parties, which can be seen on the Japanese Nintendo blog (and in the embedded screenshots above) and directs, cementing my belief that the company isn't going to reinvent the wheel for the successor at the very least.

>>1028605 Was Mario and Luigi Brothership really as bad as IGN said it was? or were they just mad that it wasn't a tranny game.

>>1034833 They shouldn’t have made an anime mascot, or any mascot really, if they wanted to avoid this. Or perhaps used AI to generate some non Euclidean shape that is physically impossible for humans to draw.

>>1038624 Nah, I pulled up the 78 reviews of Mario & Luigi: Brothership on Metacritic and IGN rated it the lowest, their review's literally at the bottom. IGN's being contrarian so people talk about IGN. It's generally favored by critics and users. 8/10 in critic reviews, higher in user ratings. >>1038626 Luce as a Jubilee mascot was good publicity that kept the Catholic Church in the news. They did put a modest rainjacket on her.

>>1038633 Ah, well have you played it Anon?

>>1034841 Still different from playing the same save data on the go and rebuying your games.

Hey /v/. So I bought Animal Crossing, My Sims Cozy Bundle, and Tears of the Kingdom for Black Friday but I don't have a Switch. Should I buy the OLED model or wait until the Switch 2 comes out (which may not be good and has a small chance of not being backwards compatible)? Are the games I bought worth it?

>>1044608 >Should I buy the OLED model or wait until the Switch 2 comes out (which may not be good and has a small chance of not being backwards compatible The president of Nintendo already announced it will be backwards compatible.

>>1044613 So wait then?

>>1044613 >it will be backwards compatible Who says that means physical cartridges?

>>1044674 That would be gay, but at least hacking it will ensure at least you get the Switch's library.

>>1044608 I bought it with the mario kart 8 bundle and bought mario rabbids sparks of hope

>>1044608 If you like those kinds of faggy games, I guess.

>>1044608 If you want a switch now, get a v1 model used and crack it when the switch 2 comes out. That said, its probably just weeks away so it's better to wait.

>>1044976 >Animal Crossing >My Sims Cozy Bundle >sparkly female avatar <durr faggy You're the homolusting fag for bugging femanons out of your shitplunged sausagefest you dancing dandy.

>>1044608 >Should I buy the OLED model or wait until the Switch 2 comes out That depends on how long you are willing to wait to play your new games. There hasn't been any announcement about when Switch 2 is being released, but some people speculate that it will happen next summer. Others claim it will happen next March. So if you choose to hold off on buying an OLED, you could be waiting all winter and potentially all of spring to play the games you bought. >Are the games I bought worth it? If you enjoy the Animal Crossing series or similar games, then I'd say it was a worth it whether you play it now or later. Tears of the Kingdom is also worth waiting to play, since you could potentially be playing the game for many hours if you are looking to collect everything. If you avoid spoilers that will make it even more worthwhile. My Sims is an odd series but not terrible, so if it caught your eye then it is worth playing too. >>1044613 >>1044674 Here is the archive of the tweet. https://archive.md/tAyP5 <At today's Corporate Management Policy Briefing, we announced that Nintendo Switch software will also be playable on the successor to Nintendo Switch. Who knows if they mean software as in digital software copies only, but there is a chance they really do mean every physical and digital purchase will play on the Switch 2.

>>1044980 If you think Konata is used by femanons, you're delusional.

>>1044614 A, what will Switch cost? B, what might you earn selling Switch when Switch 2's here? C, what's A-B? D, when might Switch 2 come out? E, what time's between now and D? Is the cost of C worth gaming for E? Yes=buy, no=wait. >>1044985 Blackpillers blackpilled Switch won't have backwards compatibility. Furukawa confirmed it will, now they blackpill software-only. Switch 2's not just a hardware refresh like PS5 Pro, Switch games sell gangbusters, their backwards compatibility was always physical, and the production cost of backwards compatible cart readers is under profit Nintendo can make off physical sales. Switch 2 will be fine.

>>1044988 Physical backwards compatibility does seem to be the most likely outcome. Like you said, Nintendo can afford it, since Switch games and the Switch itself are still successful on the market. Plus, I doubt the Switch 2 will be some massive leap in terms of design and method of use; Nintendo is probably looking to increase performance and graphics instead. So making a product that can be backwards compatible with the original Switch shouldn't be too difficult since the consoles are likely going to be similar. And if they really intended to make the Switch 2 backwards compatible with digital purchases only, Furukawa would probably have said so specifically. It would cause some frustration among some customers, but it's not something worth being secretive about. Most customers would still buy the Switch 2 regardless.

>>1044950 Sparks looked dumb as hell then I played it and now count it in my favorite turn-based strategy games.

>>1044950 >>1045002

>>1045005 She looks female since Cursa created her as a biological female, there's no male "before." Her design's dumb but not propaganda.

>>1044987 The Morning Consult survey from 2022 has anime 3:2 male:female and Gamer Motivation Profile from 2020 has men preferring man avatars 7:3 and women preferring woman avatars 3:1. Nintendo Switch is 1:1 male:female, GDC 2023 has The Sims 1:3 male:female. Animal Crossing's 1:1. Don't know for TotK, maybe 3:2 men:women. "All 3, no others" is more womanly than any 1. Women like sparkly things, and men deciding for them. Probably a femanon, he/she can confirm/deny.

>>1045018 >Animal Crossing >1:1 male:female Doubt

>>1044993 It's not about them being able to afford it, it's about them being incredibly greedy which they are

>>1045015 The joke isn't trannies but the fact they decided to make the female rabbids "sexier" with a few minor alterations.

>>1045023 The Animal Crossing data's from 2020. I'm open to newer data, if it shifted.

>>1045032 2020 was 4-5 years ago Anon, a lot of women bought Switch for Animal Crossing since then.

>>1044988 >>1044993 The similarity of the consoles did assure backwards compatibility before Furukawa confirmed. Switch 2 to Switch isn't like Super to 64, it's like GameCube to Wii, which have very similar PowerPC processors, Gekko and Broadway. The Wii processor's roughly 67% more powerful, but it's a supercharged GameCube processor. Wii was backwards compatible with GameCube discs when Wii discs were 50% longer, Switch cart compatbility should be easier.

>>1045034 I'm a man and bought the Switch for Animal Crossing.

>>1045018 >comparing random general statistics and surveys to a niche anonymous video game imageboard Wew

I'm starting to get baffled by the lack of ANY Switch 2 news from Nintendo. No announcement this year at all? The Switch is going to be an eight year system? Traditionally consoles are announced well over a year in advance, is their plan to announce it and release it the same quarter?

>>1046577 Nintendo doesn't want to cannibalise this holiday's Switch sales by announcing a successor. They already announced they will announce the successor before the financial year is out. If it's anything like the first Switch it will be revealed in January and released in March.

>>1046586 I'd be surprised if they release it by March. I'd probably expect it to be released around fall/winter of next year. The original Switch's release date kinda came out of nowhere imo (in part possibly due to desperation/necessity with how horrible Gen 8 went for them) and really was carried off the back of an eye-catching high budget launch title, easy to understand gimmick, and good marketing to move its first year (and growing and eventually exploding after that), if they tried that again without a similar strategy, I'd expect results that, while probably initially okay in terms of sales just because of how much brand power the Switch restored to them, it wouldn't look like what you would expect off the back of a massive success in the Switch. (Basically Nintendo wants what happened with PS1 -> PS2 for themselves, but if they're not careful they could do what the PS3 did instead)
