Alex from Twinfinite writes "Here's why focusing on Switch, not a 3DS successor, makes perfect sense for Nintendo."
Warner Bros. Games has set a new leadership team and restructured around Harry Potter, "Game of Thrones," "Mortal Kombat" and the DC Universe IPs.
Shift Up once again proves that they appreciate their team, as they have just rewarded their developers with new Nintendo Switch 2s to celebrate the Stellar Blade sales reaching 3 million.
Marathon was slated to launch on Sept. 23, 2025 across Xbox, PC, and PlayStation, but Bungie will share the new release date in the fall.
It will lessen though and possibly make all the difference if it launches in a state that rectified a lot of the issues people had with it. A LOT of ifs of course.
If you really gotta play ... play the better extraction shooter this year : ARC Raiders
They can't cancel it until a themed controller has been released first... like concord.
If they were absolutely certain about the quality of Marathon, then they had not delayed it just now.
So they've basically just confirmed what everyone, well, a lot of people saw: Marathon is not ready yet, still no soul to be seen.
"Doubling down on the Marathon Universe"
They're doubling down on soul, thank goodness this feedback illuminated that for them...
and N4G was littered with comments like : Marathon looks really good, maybe you're a hater and the likes blah blah ... especially under articles which compared it with Arc Raiders ....
I'd be more inclined to believe that was the case if Switch was a better handheld - but it just isn't as good as the 3DS in that respect. We'll see how it sells in Japan... that will make or break whether Switch is perceived as a proper handheld or not.
Hopefully slow goodbye, we had enough of that 240p screen with iphone graphics. Let the switch be the new Handheld/console or at least focus more on it anyway. I really don't want the switch to fail and for that to not happen, it needs to get the same games as the 3DS.
If getting rid of its dedicated handheld helps Switch succeed then I hope they do it.
You can hardly find a New 3DS online let alone in the stores. Oh something is up.
