IGN UK Podcast #559: The Manic Marsupial and Jesse's Voice Changer

-
The manic marsupial, AKA Crash Bandicoot is back, and because he forgot to press record the first time; so is Dale with a second go at explaining all his thoughts on the game. Jesse is also on and has been playing a ton of Star Wars: Squadrons. In other news, he also has a new voice changer toy that distracts us for a good 30 seconds too. Cardy rounds off the trio by telling us all about his early thoughts of the Mafia Remaster and we also have an extremely tight round of The Endless Search that needs an action replay to decide a winner. It's tense stuff. Remember, if you want to get in touch with the podcast, please do: ign_ukfeedback@ign.com.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Preloading Has Begun

-
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom isn't out for another week, but it's now officially available for preloading. As of today, Nintendo Switch users who preordered Tears of the Kingdom digitally can now preload the game a week early as expected. Of course, it still won't be playable until the game officially unlocks, but preloading it now might help you jump back into the world of Hyrule a little bit earlier — as GameSpot pointed out, the file is 16.2GB. Some fans have reported difficulty with getting the preload to begin, but it appears there's a simple solution. According to Twitter user @PhantomxKairi, canceling the preorder and preordering again should prompt the preload to begin correctly. My digital version of Tears of the Kingdom is now preloading on my Switch! For those who don't see the preload yet (I used a NSO game voucher) cancel the preorder and preorder again, download will pop up! Can't wait for May 12th <3 #Zelda #ZeldaTearsofth

Nintendo Is Still Discussing What Its Next Console After the Switch Might Be

-

Nintendo will seemingly be sticking with the Switch for several years yet, with internal discussions for a next-generation console still taking place around a release window, and even what its concept will be.

As you'd expect, Nintendo does plan to one day replace the Switch with a new gaming system, with the company's latest financial presentation making clear that new hardware was part of its wider plans to expand the business (alongside expanding IP, and adding services to the Nintendo Account system). However, the presentation only gave a date of '20XX' for that hardware's release.

During a financial results Q&A – as attended, translated, and reported by analyst David Gibson – Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa was asked what he could say about the next-gen device. Furukawa was clear that he could say very little, and it seems even what the next console will be is still up for debate within the company.

"On next gen, we are not saying right now," Furukawa said, "we are still going through internal discussion on concept, timing etc and discussing everything."

However, Furukawa did say that the Switch remains in the "middle phase" of its lifecycle, meaning we have several more years at least before Nintendo considers replacing it. In May 2020, Furukawa said the Switch was "barely" halfway through its life, so it may be that its huge recent success has seen Nintendo extend how long it could support the hybrid hardware.

That tallies with Nintendo's goals for the coming year. The financial presentation indicated that, by adding the Nintendo Switch OLED model to its lineup, it's hoping to see a sixth consecutive year of growth in Switch sales, "something never before experienced with our dedicated video game platform business." Until the Switch stops growing, Nintendo is extremely unlikely to seek to replace it.

Despite its hopes for the OLED, Nintendo has already confirmed that won't be putting all of its resources into the new model, saying that all three Switch variants (regular, OLED, and Lite) "cater to different needs".
