pleeeease no ny system anytime soon, Ill buy the PS5 if that's the case.

Don't bother. I got a PS5 last year and I barely use it. The PS5 exclusive games are not worth it (especially when increasingly frequently they're released across all platforms a few years later)

Hmm fair but hopefully they will add games to switch even if a new console comes out

That's weird....

And nintendo already said they don't really have high profile new games for the second half of 2023

But honestly they are in for a ride, they should have used TotK as a system seller to transition between the Switch and what comes next. Even if a special version comes out next year, people will have already beaten the game so it will not have the same impact

It's probably just for the carnival update server side.

All platforms? Do you mean PC? Sony has been porting their exclusives to PC with no set window. My best guess is how well a game moves consoles, as Returnal is a bit more niche and it's the newest port with a year and a half window. I expect that games that sell a ton of copies probably won't port so quick unless they're working on promoting something within that IP. 

 

On topic, has Nintendo launched a new IP in the past 5 years? I have a Switch and enjoy some of the party games with friends (and pokemon solo), but it feels like there's just nothing new that I can get into. I'd be into Zelda but I got stuck on a mission and it's discouraging knowing I'm like 20 years behind on the franchise.

For third party games I’m still really holding out for the Style Savvy franchise. It has a good number of entries, idk why it’s nonexistent on the switch.

The pokemon announcements are never given in the nintendo directs but in a separate presentation called pokemon presets and possibly this presentation will be next week, about zelda there is a rumor that says that 20 minutes of the direct will be to talk about Tears of Kingdom.

You're right, pokemon day is coming at the end of the month. . . Can only pray for National Dex

I just got a PS5 and I really like mine! I don't think I like it as much as the switch, but I just finished playing The Last of Us and I really enjoyed it.
