Going by the pattern this one is gonna suck

All they have to do is make a more powerful Switch and they're golden. But this is Nintendo, so...

It will be a switch embedded in a power glove.

[–] yopla 15 points 1 year ago

It will be called switch U but the controller will be a tandem unicycle.

They might make it more powerful, but the latest version of the OG Switch has an OLED screen, this will not...

Pattern? Are you implying that the GameCube or SNES were bad consoles? That's crazy talk.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

The WiiU wasn't even terrible, but was the only console release that could be considered "bad." I'm not sure what pattern they're talking about.

I mean the Switch is no masterpiece, it's just the perfect storm of good games and accessibility that people crave. If that continues, it stands to reason the successor to the Switch has a chance to break the curse. And is it really a curse? The Gamecube fucking rocked.

[–] Jmr 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Even if its great like the Gamecube. If Nintendos curse still holds true the next one will flop

All they gotta do is release a more powerful (backwards compatible) console just like the Switch and call it the Nintendo Switch 2.

Don't call it the New Nintendo Switch.

Don't call it Nintendo Switch U.

Don't call it Nintendo Switch XL.

Just Nintendo Switch 2.

That's it. Nothing more.

…this is Nintendo we’re talking about.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Only Nintendo console that sucked was the Wii U. Crazy talk!

[–] BoldRaven 0 points 1 year ago

I still love my Wii U and use it to play games that run like crap on the switch. It's a more powerful system
