      If this was true, I wouldn’t even be mad. The jank in some games is really starting to show particularly when you switch (heh) from a current gen console running at 4K to a 1080p display res on the Switch and then the game’s res is further brought down to maintain a solid frame rate in docked mode. It’s time for a beefed up Switch.

      Take my money.

      I just hope that the next console is backward compatible with the Switch, so I can play all of the games I have bought from the eShop. I wouldn’t even mind a sort of hybrid model where the games play exactly as they are on switch, and developers could release optional updates to take advantage of the new hardware

      I’d bet against this - seems like a very not-Nintendo move.

      The closest I can think of might have been delaying BOTW for so long so it could go from being Wii U-exclusive to a dual release helping to launch the Switch. But as much as Nintendo loves remaking games, I don’t think they’d launch a new console with a remake of the most recent Zelda game.

      I’d bet on the new console launching with a 1-2 punch of both Mario Kart 9, and a brand new main series Zelda or Mario game.

        With how weird the new Mario game is, I swore that it was going to end with a Switch 2 announcement. Even in the direct they never mention that the game will be on Switch (though the standalone trailer does).
