A Blast From The Past

Everybody is wondering where the Nintendo Switch 2 is? What it’s going to have that it does better than it’s predecessor. The biggest theme here is that Nintendo are old-school and in the modern day of bad gaming company decisions of late. This could go in Nintendo’s favour. Because ultimately, I know the conversations out there on the internet by fans. Could Nintendo actually prosper in the same way Sony did back in the PS4 days? I think so, especially if they play a perfect game.

Players are looking for great games and Nintendo has them in spades. In a world where graphical fidelity is king. For most players out there they just want great games with great frame rates – performance is king in the realms of most. If Nintendo gets that right then that goes a long way to sell this thing. Of course, it’ll sell anyway, but what I am saying is that Nintendo only have to get the basics of what fans want right for this to be an absolutely mental launch.

The Nintendo Switch 2 will have backwards compatibility. I believe that, I think with Nintendo bringing out new Nintendo Switch SKU’s so close to a prospective Nintendo Switch 2 announcement window. It’s not the wind down scenario of Nintendo generations before. Nintendo are treating the Nintendo Switch a lot more differently. You could say, a little bit like what Sony have done with PS4.  So there is some substance to that.

I also think we’re going to hear something soon from Nintendo ‘within a period of time where the PS5 Pro dies down a little’. I don’t think Sony launching a mid-life console effects Nintendo’s plans. If Nintendo where showing this thing off back at Gamescom and with news that production is in full swing as well. It cannot be that long away from details being made available to us. There are even rumours going around that the probability is within six weeks.

Everyone is now looking at Nintendo to see what they can offer us. The gaming industry has been incredibly strange of late, but if Nintendo can offer that modern touch while still offering that blast from the past. Anything is possible, and it’ll go a long way to bringing back a bit more faith to players that have felt this generation hasn’t offered that much.
