The Switch 2 will be announced in a Direct on March 28, 2023.

If it's anything like the original Switch launch announcement (October 16), it will be ~5 months before launch, with Nintendo announcing they're ending production of the old one a month later, like they did with the Wii U, to let stocks run out.

Though to be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if they kept selling the Lite as a low cost option for children/indie fans.

The Switch 2's Lite equivalent will have two screens and be called the Switch Dual Lite, or Switch D-Lite.

Sometimes when there's a pit 1 square in width Mario just walks over it no bother but sometimes he falls down. I think there's some kind of trick to this. Maybe to do with how they're broken up.

Umm, I don't know how to say this, but I woke up today and there was a switch 2 but it's permanently attached to my hands. Honestly I can't tell where my hands end and where the switch 2 begins. But I'm playing tears of the kingdom in 4k.

Warioware DIY is a DS Warioware game whose gimmick is you can make your own microgames; the microgame creator is very versatile and the UI is literally the Mario Paint UI but Wario-themed and souped up with microgame-making features... it's pretty much Mario Paint 2

What I don't like about this is that the game is still a few weeks out. Can't people at least wait a day or two before launch?

only the pre-rendered cutscenes. in-engine cutscenes (like any cutscene where Link could be wearing a different outfit) wouldn't have been dumped.

Yeah, I mean for most games I can understand wanting to know as much as you can pre-release (I'm definitely that way with Pokemon, where I'm mostly interested in the new Pokemon, moves, abilities, and mechanics), but for something like Zelda where the whole appeal of the game is discovering everything at your own pace, it'd be detrimental to see that stuff early. The fun will be discovering all the weird poo poo myself.

Some people are emotionally stunted and can't handle being told something even a minute in advance, because they've fully mentally bought into the hype cycle, and reasonably explaining to them, "Dude, it's just a game." sends their brain worms into righteous fury.

That's fair but considering it's an open world game though you're going to have to spend a lot of time looking at leaks to spoil a substantial amount of content

Of course there's always a possibility of a bad faith content creator stringing of chain of really important / spoilery footage together in a quick compilation I guess
