game news “Nintendo only interests old people”: Does the Nintendo Switch still have a future?
On June 21st, after several weeks of uncertainty, the Nintendo Direct finally took place. In this new JV debate we will talk about the quality of the event and its announcements, but above all about Nintendo’s strategy.
Warmed up at Nintendo?

However, the publisher was not overzealous, instead focusing on ports and remasters. Other than Super Mario Bros. Miracles, there will be nothing new. And yet we’re still waiting for a new big open-world title like Super Mario Odyssey. It is likely that this next software is also planned for a Switch 2, which remains very mysterious.

Only it is not highlighted and only interests niche fans. After all, the company profits from its past successes in a loop. For more, see the debate in the video above.
Many surprises

We have The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom waiting for the just announced Mario Wonder. And the year still has many surprises in store for us. Despite the end of the Switch’s life, exclusive titles continue to be released regularly. On the other hand, ports are necessary so that players can play old titles,
