If you've somehow been living under a rock, there have consistently been rumors and reports about the Nintendo Switch 2 of late, including a well-sourced series of reports about it getting delayed to Q1 2025. And yet, in the wake of another new Nintendo Direct featuring a smorgasbord of games still to come, I am left with one prevailing thought: regardless of what comes next, the original Nintendo Switch still has plenty of life left in it.
To be clear, yes, the Nintendo Switch is really beginning to show its age. While Xbox and Obsidian's Grounded leading the charge during the announcements today was largely expected due to recent reports and Xbox's own acknowledgement without naming names, seeing the actual graphics associated with its Nintendo Switch version genuinely made me wince a bit. There's no denying that some new hardware would ultimately allow for a more powerful little on-the-go console.
