    “And won’t natively run switch games. Players will have the opportunity to purchase their favorite titles in our new eshop available exclusively on our new console” - Nintendo probably

      I mean Nintendo has been pretty good with backwards compatibility so I’m hopeful they will do that again. That will be the only thing that could push me towards buying a new nintendo console atm. I would sell my switch lite to add to my new switch fund lol

      If not, I will just stick to my Steam Deck and PC

    The things I’m curious about is if it’s gonna have weak hardware like the switch does and will it have a working emulator just as fast as the switch did?

    One of my favorite things about the switch is just how in the span of a half decade we have emulators able to play commercial releases fairly well if your PC can handle it. It’s just absolutely funny how sintendo wanted to make a portable home console but made something so easy to emulate when compared to any other console of the same generation.

    Showing it to devs/publishers I can understand. Why would they be showing it to press though?

      They could be preparing for an announcement. This would give time for the press to do write ups ahead of time. If this is true there must be some kind of NDA/embargo so we won’t know anything until after a potential announcement.

        If that was the case though, I would have expected them to have announced it already 🤔. Nintendo doesn’t strike me as the kind of company to show their hardware to the press long ahead of announcement.
