In releasing what seems to be little more than an improved version of its popular Switch console, is Nintendo repeating a mistake from its recent past? https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2025/02/06/digital/switch-2-nintendo-launch-analysis/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #digital #nintendo #switch2 #videogames #Nintendo

@[email protected] not really, the Switch is an improved version of the WiiU

This is pretty much the Nintendo equivalent of the tick-tock thing Intel used to do.

They'll get away with it because they'll release a new Mario Kart, Mario Party, Zelda, Metroid, <insert the rest of Nintendo's IP here>.

Something that may save it is if they make it a full fledged media center with Dolby Atmos and HDR10+/Dolby Vision support and have it run streaming apps natively.

Buuut I suppose Nvidia will use this chip to release a Shield 2 or something.
