Looks legit but with how people like to fake stuff these days you really never know. Some people have too much time on their hands. 😆 Anyway I figured this would happen. So no Switch Pro for the Zelda TOTK release. Sorry leakers.

Nintendo will keep making Switch until the end of time. At least that’s how it feels. I’m so ready for Switch 2.

Hofstaderman894d ago

Why are people still harping on about a Pro Switch? The current model is selling by the bucketload and Tears of the Kingdom was developed for the current switch specs. Same applies to the PS5 and XBOX, stock availability is only now starting to normalise together with uniformed production processes. I can understand the sentiment with the Switch, it been a while since it’s release but with the other consoles this generation hasn’t even kicked off properly.

--Onilink--894d ago

Well, sales are definitely on a downward trend (though still healthy) and its going to be 6 years for the Switch this March.
If the next switch doesnt come out in 2023, then it’s practically a guarantee for 2024

So are IPhones, still selling more than any other phone. Nintendo has no incentive when the Switch is selling by the millions on a weekly basis during the holiday season.

With the chip shortage, it would be advantageous for Nintendo to keep the old console until supply catches up. Why limited the amount of consoles by making a Switch 2 at the moment?

Exvalos894d ago

Just because the switch is selling doesn't mean it's not time for a new console. It's extremely outdated at this point.

"Just because the Switch is selling doesn't mean it's not time for a new console"

That's exactly what it means. Software sales are at some of their highest and hardware sales have only seen a moderate decline. You don't launch a successor until after you see a larger decline in both hardware and software. Otherwise you're cannibalizing your own product.

hiawa23894d ago

To be fair the Switch was outdated the day it came out.

shinoff2183894d ago

Switch is gonna continue to sell because it's the only portable on the market. 3ds people had to go somewhere. I wouldn't be surprised if more then half of switch sales went to portable gamers. I've heard of 2 3 4 switches in the same household. Thats 3ds

TicklefistCP894d ago (Edited 894d ago )

Because I play games, not the stock market. Games play and/or look like shit on the switch.

hiawa23894d ago

But, the Nintendo games seems to run fine on it.

RaiderNation894d ago (Edited 894d ago )

Theyre harping about it because they want it. Who cares if the Switch is still selling well. That has nothing to do with the desire for a better performing model. The fact that its still selling is of NO consolation to me the gamer when my frames dip while playing. Thats just straight corporate cap!

CrimsonWing69894d ago

Quite simply the same reason people harp for ANY next-gen system..

shinoff2183894d ago

I've been trying to say that. Why not release new games on old Gen when new consoles are just now becoming more available

It's either legit or someone put a lot of effort into it, it's committing to the vibe of the game

coolbeans894d ago

Seriously. That looks insanely good.

gold_drake894d ago (Edited 894d ago )

it looks amazing, not gonna lie

happy new year :)

The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom (Switch 2) -A Sublime Sequel, Now Sublimer| NintendoLife

"When all's said and done, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is a fantastic revamp of perhaps Nintendo's most sublime sequel. What was once a technical marvel on aged hardware now has a chance to truly shine, with visual and performance boosts undoubtedly making it the definitive way to play.

Nothing will ever match the feeling of playing it for the first time, of course, and some bonus content would have been welcome, but armed with Zelda Notes and the promise of buttery smooth upgrades, I'd challenge anyone to dip back in without losing hours to its unrivalled wonder." - Jim Norman | NintendoLife

I argue that simple res/FPS bumps should be free, and then you can charge $10 if it includes actual extra content. That seems to be what has been settled on.

Many PS4 games got free upgrades for PS5 when just increasing res/FPS. Days Gone, for example, got a free FPS bump to start the generation. Now it's getting a "remaster", improved visuals/extra modes/content for $10.

I know they have *some* free upgrades - though we don't know what they entail - but the Zelda games just seem like they know they can get money from eager new buyers, so why not. Zelda Notes doesn't quite seem to justify $10, but hey, let us choose. Make it a $10 app, and give the res/FPS upgrades for free.

CrashMania46d ago

Weird the Jamboree pack being 20 with no new boards or minigames for party mode, way to miss the mark. Minigame variety is seriously lacking for the party mode compared to superstars, my biggest issue with the game, think I'll pass on that.

L3e46d ago

I wonder if there will be supply issues (unable to find the system). Interesting that they are launching in the middle of the year as well.

gold_drake46d ago

some of these are abit pricey.
like why?

neutralgamer199245d ago

It's Nintendo they know they can get away with it. Bits that simple

Dhika45d ago

Why the differences in prices?
