Nintendo Cancels Switch 2 After Seeing Mean Reddit Comment

Only months before it was slated to release the console, Nintendo has officially let hardware manufacturers and software developers know that all work on the Nintendo Switch 2 is to be stopped immediately. All existing Switch 2 units have reportedly been destroyed already, with the exception of a single prototype currently displayed at Kyoto’s Nintendo Museum next to a Philips CD-i.

Addressing partner companies, Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa explained that the dramatic decision came after Nintendo became aware of a Reddit comment calling them “Nintenfaildo” and stating that they should “just give up and make PC games tbh.” Furukawa claimed the company “did not know we were doing a Nintenfail and, frankly, wish we had been informed sooner. That’s a lot of money we just lost on this thing.”

The author behind the Reddit post, u/DaEpicGamer69, could not be reached for comment since the account was suspended due to sharing lewd art featuring Princess Daisy and Funky Kong.

In light of this new information, senior executive officer Yoshiaki Koizumi told IGN that all of the company’s resources will be shifted towards making further entries in the Mario Teaches Typing and Mario’s Early Years! PC game series.

Asked if Nintendo would consider making new game consoles in the future, Koizumi responded with an emphatic no, but Furukawa would not rule out re-releasing older ones. “Pikmin 3 is the best Pikmin. Xenoblade Chronicles X is the best Xenoblade Chronicles. Wind Waker HD is the best Wind Waker. Underrated. So underrated.”

“I told you we should have gone with the Wii U again,” Shigeru Miyamoto added. “I fucking told you.”
