If I had to guess its going to be a lunch title for the Switch 2/pro or whatever it will end up being called.

It could be like BOTW where it launched on Wii U and Switch.

True, and maybe Nintendo will be like MS/SIE and give consumers a no-cost upgrade to the better version if you buy it on current-gen Switch.

I know for the most part Nintendo never announces anything big at the game awards....

But dang.

I was hoping for some news so bad.

One day my friends.

Most likely. Switch has a big user base and they'll want to sell as many copies as possible. Also I imagine we won't get a Switch 2 (or whatever) until 2023 at the earliest. Especially if they do a Switch Pro mid-gen refresh next year like many are predicting.

So if I had to guess, BOTW2, this and some other games will just be marketed as best on Switch Pro or whatever it's called and they'll have something else lined up for launch of the true Switch successor down the road.

As much as I’m looking forward to this it’s not coming out anytime soon sadly. I think Nintendo announced it way too early.

If they didn't fully scrap the game a year or two after they announced it for not meeting their performance standards and switched developers to Retro Studios, restarting development from the ground up, I'm sure it would have been about as on time as most other big name Nintendo games.

That’s just a polite way to say: they announced it too early

It's not like they knew Bandai-Namco was going fail and they'd have to restart. They announced it at the right time if the BN deal worked out. It's like Amazon giving you a 5 day ETA on your order but on day 3 the truck driver gets into massive accident and totals the truck and now they have to ship you a new item that'll take another 5 days. You wouldn't say that Amazon's initial shipping estimate was too short because the wreck was not what they wanted or expected to happen.
