Are they saying third-parties don’t even have devkits yet? That’s a bizarre way to do a launch plan.

The console will be out of stock for at least 6 months anyway.
Maybe they are doing it due to how similar gen1 and 2 are to develop on. Gen2 just gets faster processing power. Maybe Nintendo told the devs target 30 fps on gen1 and we will almost guarantee 60 on gen 2. Or something to that effect.
This claim is dubious. Several publishers have already announced Switch 2 games.
Wake me up when the pricing comes out.
I’m betting on $400, quote me on this

$500 more likely due to tariffs. Maybe $450.
This is also my guess. Nintendo knows the demand, they’ll do $499.99 for the launch model and release a cheaper “lite” version like the original Switch in 2 years at $350 or $400 or something.
Maybe electronics will finally be cheaper in Canada compared to the US :D

Why?
They actively harm the emulation scene, despite themselves being responsible for making it necessary. They don’t want to make their old games available for sale where those potential customers are; they want you to buy their hardware and rent those old games from them in perpetuity. We’re also now at a point, at least temporarily, where their latest games often play better if you emulate them than play them in the only way Nintendo makes them available legally, so buying games and playing them “the right way” is worse. Then there’s the whole thing where they actively stand in the way of competitive Super Smash Bros.
Agreed, but it is pretty important news for our hobby, and third party titles are tied up in its marketing campaign.
Also you can hate Nintendo while still enjoying some of their exclusive games like Zelda and Mario.
You can, but I sure won’t.
