Are they saying third-parties don’t even have devkits yet? That’s a bizarre way to do a launch plan.
The console will be out of stock for at least 6 months anyway.
Maybe they are doing it due to how similar gen1 and 2 are to develop on. Gen2 just gets faster processing power. Maybe Nintendo told the devs target 30 fps on gen1 and we will almost guarantee 60 on gen 2. Or something to that effect.
This claim is dubious. Several publishers have already announced Switch 2 games.
Wake me up when the pricing comes out.
I'm betting on $400, quote me on this
$500 more likely due to tariffs. Maybe $450.
Maybe electronics will finally be cheaper in Canada compared to the US :D
Oooof! lol
And you might be right actually. It’s a weird timeline we live in
This is also my guess. Nintendo knows the demand, they'll do $499.99 for the launch model and release a cheaper "lite" version like the original Switch in 2 years at $350 or $400 or something.
I’m betting on $400, quote me on this
$399.99
Set your alarm for April 2nd.
