      Pokemon will finally have ps3 graphics and consistent 30 fps, yay!

        FINALLY.

        I would say that waiting until April for more news is a bit of a long wait, but to be honest the previous year was such a blur to me, and it's also not like Nintendo won't stop announcing stuff until then.
        Also tons of third party developers are gonna announce their games and accessories for Switch 2 in the meantime, anyway. At least if there isn't an embargo.

        I'm happy for now anyway. I am so glad Mario Kart 9 actually exists.

                            (If you are interested in looking at the projected performance of the device, Digital Foundry made a video on YouTube where they tested the T239 GPU. It performs well & you can expect the entire PS4 library to be ported to it)

(even though that's quite unlikely)
