What’s that, only nine months away? Seems pretty soon. How long do consoles usually get hyped up before they release?

I’m guessing it’ll have a Zelda TotK port, and dare I say Prime 4 as the big launch game? Probably new 3D Mario too.

Usually a consoles life time is 5-7 years

In 2024 the switch will be 7 years old

Its about time.

I meant from hype to release, not the console life span.

I will be a little bit quite miffed if I need a whole new console for Prime 4, tbh

I doubt they’ll announce and release Prime 4 within the next 9 months. It would be a smart system seller for them.

But it’s Nintendo. Who knows what they’ll do.

Edit: that’s all saying if these rumors are even true.

Unfortunately Metroid is not really a system seller for Nintendo. Is always Mario or Zelda

Switch was announced as NX in October 2016, first trailer with the official name dropped in January 2017 and then it was released in March 2017

Typically it seems a console wants to be hyped first before the competition. I recall the next PlayStation got revealed in a court case discovery that it plans to announce 2025, so if I were Nintendo maybe June 2024 for a November 2024 release.
