The Nintendo Switch 2 thread

Is Splatoon 4 likely to be announced or later on?

That’s probably gonna happen later in the Switch 2’s lifespan, considering Splatoon 3 had its final Splatfest not too long.

With that said I hope they port Splatoon 1 to Switch 2

I wouldn’t be surprised if Splatoon 1 even comes to Switch 1. For the 10th anniversary of the series, it’d be a cool throwback.

Can see this. Been wondering if there was a way for EPD 5 to get an Animal Crossing & Splatoon game out early in Switch 2s lifecycle (even if also on Switch 1) given the strength of both series right now. Was leaning more towards them handing Splatoon to another studio for a spinoff but can see a port with maybe some sort of bonus &/or Splatfests events for a bit.

I just got started on a Google Doc coming up with ideas for Switch 2 games and other things.

So far I only have games.

March went by pretty fast, I'm looking forward to that Direct not too long from now.

I see we came to a consensus that Miis should at the bare minimum stay for backwards compatibility, but what are the odds of updates to how they're presented? I think they kind of need that in order to stay relevant in modern HD games. The helmets in Mario Kart 8 are absolutely done to cover their static hair, and stuff like eyes looking to the side shouldn't have to be something Miitopia added itself.

I doubt Miis will be phased out much more considering things like their cameo in the Mario Kart ride at Super Nintendo World, the option to put one on your Nintendo Museum ticket, and use in an active game like Pikmin Bloom. They could be updated in a way that stays true to their original style, especially considering the backlash Sportsmates got. (Though considering Switch Sports sold so well regardless, that may not concern them much.)
