I have a feeling we're going to see some DLC for MK8 which is what the "fans will be delighted to see" statement could be about. I just can't see them releasing MK9 anytime soon.

I'd be happy with that.

For every "good" decision Nintendo makes for its fans they make 20 that are utterly retarded. Its hard to be too positive.

Good shout. I'd be all over that.

I know what you mean but I still prefer to remain positive!

I'll be pessimistic to balance things out

Fingers crossed here for a new Pikmin. Would make an awesome game to play while I travel

Pilot Wings still. :rolleyes:

Nintendo really should do a console only version of the switch ... Which defeats the object of a switch

But you know what I mean.

Sealed box. Two pads

Shin megami tensei V is still in the works..wonder if we will get update on that, never played previous titles but i'm sure my GF would be interested in this as she likes Persona series.

They do a "console only" version sans dock but I think that Nintendo have found a concept that will become their core for a long time to come now so they want to push the idea of a mobile console that can be docked if you want. Not a console that has no ability to be taken out of the home. Thats the unique element of the console so to take it away might lead to developers getting lazy about certain elements of their game design. It would also increase calls for a "pro" version as a home only version of the switch wouldn't have to contend with thermal issues like the current one.

Plainsong · 13 Feb 2019 at 11:04

The hybrid nature of it is the whole appeal. You get the best of both worlds. Obviously people will always want more power and we'll get that in later generations. There will be incremental upgrades (slim, XL etc) but I doubt we'll see a console that you can't pick up and leave the house with - not for a long time anyway.

Won't happen.

N64 - No revision
GameCube - No revision
Wii - Revision years and years later
Wii U - No revision

The Switch is a home console with the ability to play on-the-go, I don't think Nintendo see it as a portable with the ability to play at home

Plainsong · 13 Feb 2019 at 11:34

I think they see it as both. The sharp decline in new 3DS software means to me that they have all their eggs in one Switch-shaped basket.

fez · 13 Feb 2019 at 11:46

Yeah, the Switch has done far far better than they ever dreamed and as a result the handheld market it dominated before has largely shifted to the Switch and therefore they have pretty much abandoned the 3DS.

The Wii had two revisions.
The Wii U was a flop, and as such didn't warrant any hardware revisions.

Nintendo also played about with hardware variations for both the N64 and GameCube. The projects (with the exception of the N64's expansion pack) all failed.

Meanwhile, the DS and 3DS went through umpteen hardware variations.

I don't think you can really look to history for any indication about what Nintendo has planned for the Switch TBH..

Kreeeee · 13 Feb 2019 at 14:18

This is a handheld console. Nintendo will definitely have hardware revisions.
