Respawn Reapers Live @ R3 Nintendo Reveals Fresh Season 2025 May 17th, 2025

Nintendo invited us to a private showing of the new Fresh Season 2025. We will record the information we see here in hopes of everyone being. Excited for the new season. We were invited to the event show in 1450 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20004.

They didn't want us to record, document, or otherwise remember any details presented to us in this event but we had a plan.

We advise everyone to not talk about this stuff publicly.

The community is ablaze with the reveal of the new Switch. Surprisingly, there is no new Switch. They revealed to us the new Nintendo console.

Nintendo will be transitioning to a traditional console. The system will have 4K60 output and 16 HDMI 4.1 ports. For games, there will be an optional DVD drive and Nintendo Switch cartridge slot.

We appreciate Nintendo's decision for physical media.

For the DVD add-on, you're required to buy the games online at Nintendo's online store and download the iso file. You then burn the iso to a Nintendo-branded DVD-R and insert it to your console. Some games require 10 discs minimum.

Backwards compatibility with Switch games will be a feature, but only for certain games and on certain times. Splatoon 3 will be a compatible game from launch and the game will lose backwards compatibility features in 2025. Splatoon 4 will be released at that time.

Nintendo has also revealed the Visio Lite. This iteration is more smaller. The unit will have all of it's parts split. You will need to hook up the GPU, power supply, and storage seperately. Physical media games cannot be used.
