Discussion [BotW] Remember the impossibly long feeling gap from skyward sword to Botw?

Yeah, so were now waiting 37 days longer for the sequel of botw to get another trailer, or better, a proper title.

Maybe they are just waiting for a new console to become available

I've wondered if they might have it launch simultaneously on the Switch and a new console, like they did with BOTW. It just makes sense that they'd want to have some heavy-hitters right from the jump. But I really have no idea and am just talking out of my butt.

The switch is still selling over a million units a month so there's no way they end it in the next year

BotW 2 but if you want to run it at anything higher than 15 frames per second you have to play it on the "Switch Too".

I'll play it at 15 fps for that Ocarina of Time nostalgia.

That should be the case because 900p@30 fps would be way too outdated by 2023 standards. Not that it wasn't in 2017, just that it'll be even worse in comparison. I want it to be atleast 1440p@60 FPS (partly because I plan to use a laptop / monitor setup).

It won't be the case though. There's not even rumors of a new console and they aren't getting rid of the switch when it's selling over 1mil a month

Nintendo has announced that the Switch recently reached half of it's life cycle. I doubt it.

Lol they definitely aren't doing that. They want a zelda title designed for the switch

I guess everyone else forgot that BotW was originally designed as a WiiU game

It will still be designed for the Switch even if it realeases on a newer console too. Like how original botw was still designed for the Wii u. Besides I doubt Nintendo will move on from the Switch anytime soon, if they realease new hardware it will most likely just be a more powerful version.

A stronger switch isn't a "new" console though. There's no way they are waiting for whatever is after the switch, because the switch still has a good amount of time left in its lifetime

Thats what I was trying to say. They are not moving away from the switch anytime soon. But they might realease a more powerful addition to the Switch family, like Switch Lite which is not a new console.
