    Yeah game dev here, I am also working on a game for a 'switch successor', that just means I am estimating my development cycle will be done about the time Nintendo would likely release one. I'll tell you that the people who write these surveys definitely don't add questions with inside knowledge.

      The switch successor section is just dev stating ‘my PS/Xbox game can be and may get ported to a switch successor based on the estimated CPU spec and estimated time. I can’t see third party doing switch successor exclusive ticked that option due to NDA

      I don't know why you'd say "a switch successor" without knowing its actual specs? Seems like you'd be better off releasing on steam. You might be in for a bad time if your game ends up needing to be optimized for the older tech Nintendo will probably utilize.

    Hey, I'm a game developer. When many people say they're working on a game for the switch 2. What they mean is that they're making the game with the idea that they've gotta make it run on a handheld. So they don't know when the switch 2 comes out but in the back of their mind they'll keep some considerations like porting to ARM, performance limits, keeping aside cash for a devkit in their budget, not putting in crazy stuff that may not run on switch 2 or reworking stuff to make sure it'll run. This does show though that devs are expecting the switch 2 to be out in less than 2 years cause that's what indie game dev cycles tend to be (averageish. HUGE variance depending on factors).

      not making Switch 2 backwards compatible might be one of the dumbest things Nintendo could do with this console. With other systems it's different I think, but there are too many Switch owners who will want to play their old Switch games on the new one for them to not have it as a major feature.

"we're working on an engine for the game that we expect to be on the switch 2" "we're designing a game with the switch's control scheme in mind, which we believe the Switch 2 also has" "we have a solid concept for a switch 2 game, and are ready to immediately start development as soon as we have information" there's SO many things that could mean.

      people will hate this and a lot probably won't agree, but i doubt it's coming this year. The switch isn't selling as much as it did a few years back but it is still doing a very decent amount, and seeing how many games they've announced that are coming (mostly Mario ones), it's clear they're trying to sell as much as they can from this Mario hype. announcing switch two would make remakes and new releases feel overshadowed in comparison, and knowing how much consoles cost i doubt many people will wanna buy a 60$ remake rather than spare for the new console. I do think they're gonna announce it in a bit, but both announce it and release it? Ehhh idk. then again i'm not saying it's impossible, it's not like i'm an expert in business and sales.

      Assuming Nintendo follows a similar schedule between announcement and release; if the Switch-U launched September 1st, we’ll have it’s reveal announcement on April 18th.
      Honestly I’d expect it to be released in November (due to most consoles historically releasing then, the Switch was an oddity). Honestly I’d argue the Switch would have been pushed back to November of 2017 to release if not for the fact that Nintendo had to push it’s release forward to help stop the financial bleeding that was the Wii U. That gives me pause to not worry about an official announcement till May (though by the same token as my prior point, the Switch’s release cycle may have been truncated due to how poorly the Wii U was doing; so an earlier announcement wouldn’t be unheard of either).

      It should be an easy fix now. They need to replace eMMC's with SSD's. Since eMMC's have an inherent read/write bottleneck and SSD's should only be going down in price - it shouldn't be unreasonable to expect to see them in a new console to fix load times. The real question is, are Nintendo willing to pay the cost for quality storage, or will they once again use dated tech to undercut the consumer? After all, they know that most of us will pay for the prestige of a Nintendo product.
      I've sat out on purchasing Nintendo consoles since the Gamecube, but they could drag me back with some competent hardware. They almost got me with the Switch, but the load times, the pricing and the low quality made to fail controllers are ultimately what turned me off.

    Something I like to think to myself, is that the next system is actually like entirely ready and verified for selling. They're just getting a bunch in stock for the release, but slightly more importantly they're letting the developers that are working on it work their magic so they can avoid the switch's first issue of only having 2 launch titles. They want something to fill all that lovely free home menu space up before they go ahead and drop this monster of a bombshell

      The switch launching with Botw and 1-2-Switch is a lot like the N64 launching with Mario 64 and Pilotwings. When one of your launch titles is one of the greatest and most revolutionary games of all time, and has a lot of longevity, the rest of the launch lineup can slack a bit.

    I'm not anti-new console, I'm anti Switch 2. One of my favorite parts of being a Nintendo fan is each new piece of hardware not just being "the previous thing but better" but something wholly different and novel. One of my worst problems with Wii U is that its life span was cut short before enough games that showed what could be done with it came out. There's a million games from previous gens of Playstation I could play that I haven't yet - I've got tons of games on my backlog. But I want NEW stuff. I want to play games in completely new ways. Gimme more Kid Icarus Uprisings and Metroid Prime 3s. I want weird hardware, and I want games that rule that hardware.

    I appreciate that this was a pretty measured take. I backed a Kickstarter project that sent out a survey sometime last year asking backers if they would be interested in a release on the next Switch console and I remember wondering then this same thing - if dev kits were out or this was still hypothetical. I would be surprised if we didn’t get a release date announcement sometime this year, though I wouldn’t be surprised if the console actually doesn’t drop until Q1 2025. For me, I still have a huge backlog on my Switch and am still loving it, so I’m in no rush, but it definitely feels like the next console is coming soon. So I get the hype.

    As the Switch turns 7 next month and we start working into its 8th year, all i can think is what the President of Nintendo, Furakawa, said back in 2021, in the Switch's 4th year. "The Switch is only in the middle of its life cycle. We have no plans for a new successor just yet." Now i took that as we would probably see the next Nintendo console around 2024 with a release of 2025 to complete an 8th year cycle. However, Nintendo is known to say "No" to a lot of rumors while sweating profusely. But with the Switch at over 135m units sold (I've heard if they can sell 15 million units, they will surpass the PS2 on sales) maybe 1 more year without a successor could give them those sales. But i wonder, who still needs a Switch at this point in time?

Even if a lot of that 8% are people actually working on games with knowledge of the next gen Nintendo console, it's more likely in my eyes that most of them are just people working on essentially Switch games but not planning on releasing them onto the Switch, because the easiest way to ensure your game is dead on arrival is to release it right at the end of a console's lifespan (dual console releases excluded obviously).

    I bet you that the prime 2 and 3 remasters will come out leading up to the release of the switch two with prime 4 coming out on the switch 2 as a launch title. Just wait until prime 2 remaster comes out then use the time between the release of 1 and 2 as a gauge for the release of three and presto you have a timeline for the release of the switch two.

    I don't get this. What is it meant to prove? That a new Nintendo console is coming? It's ALWAYS coming, it's just a matter of when.
    And if you think about it, games take years to develop, those devs might be working on titles not due for years yet.

    Checking the box on the survey would almost certainly be a violation of the NDA. The question is whether the respondent would ever be caught. If it’s truly anonymous, then they’re likely in the clear, but you can never be certain about that sort of thing.

    It's a bad year... mainly because of Sweet Baby Inc. Game releases are treading on a thin line in 2024, won't expect any announcement from Nintendo much less Switch 2 reveal.
    I can expect Spawnwave reported that Nintendo wants a development partnership... kinda like RnD Model in Valve.

    Arlo reads FoxTrot, knowing that pleases me so much.

    Level 5 pretty much all but guaranteed the next system will be out around summer 2024😂

    Metroid Prime 4 is rumored to be the launch game.

      Doubt it.. At least if it's the only one.. The fanbase is not big enough.. I'm thinking mabye a Mario game for launch and then metroid 4 for holiday.. They will have to promote the game at least a little bit before release

    Just want to say that the first minute of this video is exactly why I love and keep coming back to Arlo above other game/Nintendo channels. 👍

    Just because you're so excited, I'm putting all of my energy to wishing that the switch 2 does not come out until 2025
