Hey, if people keep buying these $60 graphical touchups then Nintendo has no reason to stop.
Are we seeing the Switch successor come out this year?

Gamecube games are getting expensive nowadays so I'd argue $60 for The Thousand Year Door is pretty good.
But it's definitely overpriced for Luigi's Mansion 2.
I guess in terms of pure collectability, but it doesn't feel good from a content and price point perspective. It's asking players spend $60 on a gussied up GameCube game with a fancy hat. I'm sure people will, because Nintendo, but I'd still point to emulation as a superior option.
Nintendo isn't exactly trying to keep this games available, so piracy feels just fine.
There have been a lot of sources recently pointing to the idea that the next console was originally going to release this year, but has been delayed to next year. I wonder if that’s just because of a lack of new titles.
Considering all of the remakes we're getting this year, Nintendo really has no excuses so I certainly hope their next system will have a strong launch line-up. This isn't like the Wii U days where Nintendo wasn't used to longer HD development times.
Well like I’ve said before, 2023 was a packed year for better or for worse. I completely understand why they don’t have much of anything to show for 2024 so far.

Maybe? Not sure
At this point it seems like next year is more likely which at least gives me a chance to get caught up on finishing out some of my backlog that's been neglected.
The real question is will the next Nintendo console have betters specs than the Steam Deck, a portable gaming PC that can run modern PC games and that will currently cost you $350?
Nintendo's really under no pressure to pop out new tech as long as success is still up, and it still is as of now. No earlier than next year, I'd say. I do think it'll be in the first half of 2025, though.
I'm curious if the Switch will be able to surpass the PS2 in hardware sales now that it's looking like its successor won't release until 2025. 21 million units left to shift to match the PS2 after the latest numbers ending in December 2023.
I definitely don't see it releasing this year. Most likely it will be next year. I think we'll know for sure in a few months in a Direct if the plan is to release Q1 2025.
I'm more interested in the first party lineup during the launch window, and I'd prefer they take time to make it solid before they release the new console. The Switch was lucky considering Breath of the Wild was a launch day title. People could look forward to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Splatoon 2. Super Mario Odyssey wasn't far down the line either.
