EXCLUSIVE - Nintendo Switch 2 Will Have a 3-Phase Launch Plan For Its Games
Are they saying third-parties don't even have devkits yet? That's a bizarre way to do a launch plan.

The console will be out of stock for at least 6 months anyway.
Maybe they are doing it due to how similar gen1 and 2 are to develop on. Gen2 just gets faster processing power. Maybe Nintendo told the devs target 30 fps on gen1 and we will almost guarantee 60 on gen 2. Or something to that effect.
This claim is dubious. Several publishers have already announced Switch 2 games.
Why?
They actively harm the emulation scene, despite themselves being responsible for making it necessary. They don't want to make their old games available for sale where those potential customers are; they want you to buy their hardware and rent those old games from them in perpetuity. We're also now at a point, at least temporarily, where their latest games often play better if you emulate them than play them in the only way Nintendo makes them available legally, so buying games and playing them "the right way" is worse. Then there's the whole thing where they actively stand in the way of competitive Super Smash Bros.
