Nintendo Co. is advising game publishers that its next-generation console will be delayed until the early months of 2025, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

“Nintendo is likely looking at a pretty dry pipeline this year,” Toto said. “The company will still try to keep the blockbusters for the next console, so 2024 might see more remakes of old Nintendo hits. In any case, 2024 will be a lot tougher for Nintendo without a new device.”

    I am curious if even just a minimal part of it has anything to do with MigSwitch.

    If the MigSwitch is really emulating a physical cartridge perfectly and the Switch can’t detect it… it can be an issue for a new one, either because they use the same cartridges/security for the new games, as let’s be honest I don’t see why Nintendo would need a new physical cartridge for this revision, at best a tab like in the 3Ds to not allow them on the old Switch.

    And even if it does not affect the new games, the retrocompatible games could be affected and be playable by it.

    So some changes could be required physically or by software.

      Seeing all the recent controversial trends in video game related companies, i think they just go full digital, without cartridges at all
