Zelda. This is undoubtedly the word you will hear the most in the editorial office over the past week, as the latest addition to the Nintendo, The Legend of Zelda : Tears of the Kingdom, marked the video game news of this month of May 2023. Its enormous sales are proof of this, if proof were needed.

But this release is accompanied by a debate, which regularly shakes up fans of the brand with the red cap, both inside and outside the editorial office : is that the Nintendo Switch has had its day? Or put another way : isn't it time for the release of a Nintendo Switch 2 or his potential successor?

The Nintendo Switch Pro that never came

Remember, in 2021 already, the rumor mill was buzzing around a Nintendo Switch Pro, capable of displaying games from the famous Japanese publisher in 4 K. And then Nintendo announced the Nintendo OLED Switch, a version still equipped with a Tegra X1 chip of 2015. According to several sources, a The Pro version was in the pipeline, but Nintendo reportedly canceled it.

While the new Zelda opus, the desire for an Smore powerful witch is gaining many fans. Others, on the other hand, say they are satisfied with the experience offered and do not feel the need for a renewal. Finally, some mention the revival of portable consoles, with the Steam Deck and the Rog Ally as a figurehead.
