What’s the point of this article when Nintendo just said they have wrapped to switch 1 development?!

Foreseeable future in this context usually means, like, 1-2 fiscal years. If we’re still getting brand new NS1 games in 2029, I’d be shocked.
Even still, I’d expect a lot of the support NS1 gets in later years (2027-2028 especially, if it makes it to 2028 at all) will be mostly ports, remasters, and smaller scale remakes. That’s basically how 3DS was supported in its last days, too.
And with back compat it makes even more sense because those games would also have an audience with NS2 owners, who may even get better performance or bonus features for them, in addition to brand new games going to NS2 only.

O. K?
Nintendo is going to keep making games for people. Some will be able to get the new games if they buy a Switch 2. Others will be able to play an ever decreasing number of new releases on their OG Switch if they haven’t bought one yet. They will gradually transform their base over to new hardware.
What’s the new information here? This is pretty much exactly what they told us when they released the Nintendo Direct about Switch 2.
It’s a brilliant strategy that they are executing super well.
Didn’t we already know all this? What’s the article trying to say is newsworthy about this?
Edit: I guess this is news to the stock holders or something?

This is a no brainer. People are trying to spin this as “games are being held back by old gen” but the truth is new gen are being held back by macroeconomics. The bottom half aren’t doing well and companies are trying not to lose them.

Dunno about “Fans” but I didn’t move to S2, so feel free to sell me stuff if you care.
