Nintendo Switch 2 Predictions # 445

This is it, the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 happens on Thursday! Some people already have the console, while the majority (including Sean and Marc) are awaiting June 5 to see if the console will arrive. In the meantime, the guys have their crystal ball predictions for the console. Will it equal the Switch 1 in terms of staying power and sales? Which Nintendo franchise will be the most talked about with this console? Will we still be playing Switch 2 in eight years? Additionally, EA cancels yet another game and closes another studio, with this time's cancellation including the untitled Black Panther game from Cliffhanger Games. What does this mean for the Iron Man game at Motive? And what about their reliance on four core franchises going forward? Plus, Summer Game Fest kicks off on Friday with over 60 partners, including Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox. The next Pokémon Presents and Pokémon Z-A get dates, Sean talks the Indie Quest 2025 Indie JRPG Showcase, Elden Ring Nightreign sells well amid tepid reviews, could Persona 4 Remake get announced soon? All of this and more on this week's Video Games 2 the MAX. We will be doing two shows this coming week. We will discuss all the happenings from the Summer Game Fest Showcase and any announcements from the smaller showcases like Day of the Devs, Devolver, Future Games, and so on... On Saturday night.
