Goodbye Switch, Hello Switch 2!

[SteveGrabowski]

There is a Nintendo Direct tomorrow but it is focused on third parties.

Guess all I'm interested in then is if there is a new Megaten or a new Dragon Quest since those tend to be timed exclusives for Nintendo. Otherwise anything third party I'm getting for PS5, Steam, or GOG since I rarely played my Switch 1 handheld after the first year and haven't played my Switch 2 handheld period.

new Dragon Quest

Don't count on that. Dragon Quest 12 is still in the works, but it has reportedly been delayed and there's been an alleged "change of scope":

Horii says he's still working on it so it'll happen eventually. But tomorrow/later today? Ehhhhh maybe not.

Definitely wanted the system before August 1st anticipating Dotard's tariffs increasing the price, and sure enough August 3rd a bunch of Nintendo's products are going way up in price. They held the line for now on Switch 2 but basically said to expect price increases for it in the future too. Wonder if they stockpiled systems ahead of August 1st here like they did for launch.
