I’d be curious how many of those developers are excited about the platform.

At this point i’m not sure what there could be to be excited about. They’ve kind of done everything… now it’s just about incremental upgrades. Like, better graphics, better battery, maybe something like having the ability to use the tablet part and the TV at the same time to mimic the DS/3DS, but that’s about it.

Having more head room than a tablet chipset on par with 2014 standards is a pretty exciting thing for devs

I mean yeah it’s exciting to not be held back so much I guess, but what else?

Iwata is dead, but if there’s a company that could try to do something new, that’s Nintendo.

I’m not saying that I’m hoping for it, but I would not suprised if the next switch will come with some sort of VR integration. Nintendo like to explore this gimmick, VR is slowly expanding and an Nvidia Arm chip with DLSS would be great for VR and cross compatibility with Meta Quest apps.

For the first time, nearly 250 people said they were working on titles planned for the Nintendo Switch successor.

This is a very different statement than the headline. Planned for just means that they are making it assuming nintendo will release something. They are not saying they have dev kits or that anything exists.

People were making things “planned for” a switch successor years ago too.

That’s the writer’s poor phrasing. The actual survey question was: “Which platform(s) are you developing your current project for? (Choose all that apply)” It’s shown in the screenshot in the article.
