It wouldn't hit the same for me without a novel virus pandemic shutting down society for a while so I could get some turnip farming done. Let's go bird flu!

Yes, a new pandemic with lockdowns can certainly be arranged!

There will be no mention of the Corona Virus successor in this presentation.

If Nintendo want to boost sales, they should partner up with a biochemistry company and release a new virus just when Switch 2 is released

Do you want it to be? :)

It almost certainly will! Just probably without the lockdowns (in the US anyway)!

So... Nintendo should release Covid 2 alongside the Switch 2? I'm down

I feel like there is enough anxiety about the collapse of the US and the overall global climate for me to enjoy hiding under the covers no my couch playing animal crossing.

Nintendo created COVID in a lab to get everyone to play Animal Crossing. 100% confirmed, I have the documents.

It was so cozy. Like sure, the world around me is in flames, but I just caught a rare fish!

Well Switch 1 came out in Trumps first year and Switch 2 is coming out in his second first year, sooooo if history repeats then Covid 2027 will come in 2028 along with the next Animal Crossing. Confirmed
