As all of us Nintendo fans is waiting for the next console to come out (for this blog I will call the console switch 2), I must admit something. I have a bad feeling that Nintendo could mess thing things up. Nintendo doesn’t have a great history with their consoles or moving from a console to the next. The Wii was a massive hit. Then they move on to the Wii U and we all know what happened. I am hoping that this won’t be the case. There are a few ways Nintendo could f*** this up and they might have another Wii U situation on their hands.
We all have hope that the switch 2 will come next year. Me included! Yet I will not be shocked if the switch 2 will not come till 2025. Why? First off the system might not be ready till 2025. Another reason is that Nintendo wants to give every developer time to get their games ready. The 2nd main reason is that they are afraid that history will repeat itself with the Wii U. Nintendo might be so scared about that, they might not release the switch 2 till 2025. The main reason is that they want the all-time console sales record. Nintendo might want to beat the PS2 so bad that they will hold off the next console. This does feel like something that Nintendo will do.
Next up is the gimmick. Nintendo loves gimmicks. They put one in almost of all their system. This could be no different the next go around. Could the gimmick be good? Maybe. Then again the gimmick could be bad. Most everyone loved the motion control of the Wii but that got old quick. If a gimmick is added to the switch 2, it could be great, but it could get old quick. Also the gimmick could just ruin the switch 2 completely.
The switch 2 could not be the switch 2. I can imagine that the Nintendo headquarters they are having a meeting. “Someone could say, we make this concept that made us millions of dollars. Now how can we f*** it up?” Yeah, Nintendo could abandon the handheld/console hybrid of something else. That something else could be very stupid.
The last and most important reason that Nintendo could f*** things up is a lack of power. Now I know that power isn’t everything, but it is very important. The switch 2 will not match up with the PS5 and series X in raw power but the switch 2 must have more horsepower underneath the hood. It needs to be close to power as the steam deck. Look at a couple of bad ports that the switch gotten of late. Batman Arkham knight is complete s***. The first ugly and plays bad. Also you have to download the other two games as well. The switch port of MK1 was trash too. Yes, most of the blame goes to the developers that made those so-called games. Yet those games could had been better if the switch had more power to it. I am tired of these ports. Also i am tired of games coming to the switch via though the cloud only. Look how bad RE8 plays on the switch. One more thing I am once again getting tired of major 3rd party games not coming to the switch. I want GTA VI to come to the switch 2.
