1. Introduction: A Night of Hope and Frustration
Good evening Tekin Plus friends. We wrap up today (Dec 3, 2025) with conflicting emotions. On one hand, Nintendo fans finally see a light at the end of the tunnel with a leaked release date. On the other, virtual football fans are dealing with one of the worst updates in EA history. Let's analyze these two sides of the gaming coin.
2. Nintendo Special: Switch 2 Finally Dated!
2.1. March 2026: The Japanese Storm Incoming
For months, we heard conflicting rumors. Some said late 2025, others 2026. But today, a report from component suppliers in Taiwan leaked, indicating that mass production for the Switch 2 is running at full capacity for a March 2026 launch.
This date makes sense. Nintendo wants to avoid the holiday supply shortages of the past. A spring launch allows them to stock up inventory and start the new fiscal year strong.
2.2. Final Specs: PS4 Power in Your Hands
According to leaked docs, the Switch 2 uses a custom Nvidia T239 chipset. It supports DLSS, meaning it can output near-4K quality on TVs.
Screen: Unfortunately, the base model comes with an 8-inch LCD (not OLED) to keep costs down.
RAM: 12GB LPDDR5 (Triple the current Switch!).
2.3. Launch Titles
The leaked lineup includes:
1. Mario Kart X: A next-gen racing experience.
2. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond: Finally, after 8 years!
3. Final Fantasy VII Remake: A full port of the PlayStation hit.
2.4. Price Prediction
Tekin Plus analysts predict a $399 price tag for the base model. This competitive pricing is a direct warning shot to the Steam Deck and ROG Ally.
3. Disaster on the Pitch: EA FC 26 State
3.1. "Invisible Players" Bug
EA Sports released the "Holiday Update" for FC 26 yesterday. It was supposed to add new faces, but it added chaos. Users on Reddit report that in Ultimate Team, opponents (or even own players) sometimes become invisible! Imagine losing a Weekend League match because you couldn't see the striker.
3.2. "Rocket Shot" Glitch
Another weird bug involves ball physics. Certain Power Shots now travel at unrealistic speeds, giving goalkeepers zero chance to save them. This glitch has effectively broken the competitive balance.
3.3. EA's Response
EA has acknowledged the issues but hasn't given a timeline. Tekin Plus advice? Avoid competitive modes for now.
4. Industry Warning: Hardware Inflation
A TrendForce report today warns of rising DRAM and NAND prices due to AI server demand. Expect RAM and SSD prices to jump 20-30% in early 2026. This limits console makers' ability to cut prices.
5. Conclusion
Tonight's news teaches patience. Nintendo is taking its time to deliver quality, while EA rushed an update and broke their game. Start saving for March 2026 if you're a Nintendo fan! Good night.
