In the past maybe. Dread sold record numbers and the Prime remake was huge. If they can have all three series for launch that’d be right up their ally.
Dread sold 3 million copies. Mario Odyssey sold 25 million copies. BotW sold 31 million. MK8 sold 58 million copies (just the Switch version). Metroid is absolutely not a system seller, and they will not push it as such.
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.
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

We’ll see. It’s Nintendo. They could say fuck it and use Kirby as the launch title lol
