They supposedly had this console ready to ship a year or even two ago. Rumor is the reason they are releasing it this year is to have a decent catalogue of games lined up for launch and launch window.

That makes it even weirder why they would only show a few short hints of one possible new Mario Kart game. The original switch reveal had glimpses of new Zelda, Mario and even the first portable version of Skyrim.

  • I think they revealed the current Switch this way. 1st a small tease then a Direct with plenty of details.

    That is happening on April.

  • It says in the trailer that they're going to be having a direct for it... on April 2nd.

  • It's only the first reveal. I'm sure they'll be raising the hype with game trailers until the release date.

which makes complete sense, no?

  • Aside from missing out on the last software dev cycle's worth of hardware updates, unless they've continued to bump the specs to match what's become available in the meantime. (I know the line does need to be drawn somewhere.)
