      All they have to do is make a more powerful Switch and they’re golden. But this is Nintendo, so…

        They might make it more powerful, but the latest version of the OG Switch has an OLED screen, this will not…

        The WiiU wasn’t even terrible, but was the only console release that could be considered “bad.” I’m not sure what pattern they’re talking about.

      I mean the Switch is no masterpiece, it’s just the perfect storm of good games and accessibility that people crave. If that continues, it stands to reason the successor to the Switch has a chance to break the curse. And is it really a curse? The Gamecube fucking rocked.

        Even if its great like the Gamecube. If Nintendos curse still holds true the next one will flop

          All they gotta do is release a more powerful (backwards compatible) console just like the Switch and call it the Nintendo Switch 2.

          Don’t call it the New Nintendo Switch.

          Don’t call it Nintendo Switch U.

          Don’t call it Nintendo Switch XL.

          Just Nintendo Switch 2.

          That’s it. Nothing more.

        I still love my Wii U and use it to play games that run like crap on the switch. It’s a more powerful system
