Nintendo Is Telling Game Publishers Switch 2 Will Be Delayed (www.bloomberg.com)

Nintendo Co. is advising game publishers that its next-generation console will be delayed until the early months of 2025, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

“Nintendo is likely looking at a pretty dry pipeline this year,” Toto said. “The company will still try to keep the blockbusters for the next console, so 2024 might see more remakes of old Nintendo hits. In any case, 2024 will be a lot tougher for Nintendo without a new device.”

Just come out when it's ready. Nothing wrong with that.

I kind of wish more gaming companies would be like this rather than release a buggy mess.

The latest Zelda game runs like garbage cause the Switch still has a GPU from 2014.

Nintendo needs a new Switch fast.

Well, it's coming. With that in mind it's better for it to be done well than come out underbaked.

Tears of the Kingdom is less beautiful or smooth than it could have been but it's definitely not garbage. Not like Pokémon Scarlet/Violet or Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.

It dips to like 5 fps when you activate the floaty hand ability which is pretty crucial to the gameplay

Ultrahand? I used it plenty but it never got that bad for me.

And clocked at under half the low power mode frequency the chip was designed fornwhen used in tablets and handheld devices.
