Nintendo Switch 2 (WIP) - For the Soytendo consoomers to speculate about the successor to the Switch, recently announced for 2025.

[The Backwards Man]

What's the difference between this and the OG Switch?

It basically looks the same.

It has a higher resolution screen that distracts you from your wife and the bull easier than the last one!

 

[TATE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODE!!]

Should've called it the SUPER Nintendo Switch. I can see somebody mistaking it for the original.

Or at least Switch U.

 

[The Last Stand]

Or at least Switch U.

(Bait &) Switch more likely.

People who bought the OLED Switch a few years ago on suicide watch rn.

 

[FieldPiece]

Those connectors are gonna break like crazy.

 

[Iron Jaguar]

the big issue is the insufferable stick drifting.

I was under the impression that they'd fixed that.

That's probably why Nintendo cracked down on those emulators, the games are probably gonna run the same way but the switch 2 is just a hardware bump and it would be funnier if the cartridges are the same
Shit Mario Kart looks practically the same just with new models, I'm expecting shit to just work as soon as they release

Pros:
+Everyone already calls it the Switch 2, smart move to just call it that instead of something retarded like "Switch U"

Cons:
-No hall-effect joysticks on the shitty fucking joycons and will break down after 5 seconds of use
-That back stand looks like it will easily break off, maybe even easier than the Switch 1 kickstand
-No total 100% backwards compatibility could mean more than just peripheral/gimmick games like Labo or Ring Fit
-Will probably cost as much if not more than other handheld gaming devices that offer more value for less price

Predictions:
-Replacement joycons will likely cost at least twice the price of the Switch 1 joycons
-Will likely have its own pro controller that costs twice as much as the Switch 1 pro controller
-Will likely be drowning in technical errors and crashes just like the Switch 1 did at launch
-Games will likely cost $70 or more
-Will likely have a shitty launch lineup, even if Metroid Prime 4 gets finished it is designed for the Switch 1. There will be no killer app like BOTW* or New Horizons. 1, 2 Switch and Arms were overpriced tech demos at best
-Nintendo will sell chink-made adapters for Switch 1 accessories so they can work on the Nintendo Switch 2™, and they will be overpriced
-No themes and even if there are they will be wildly overpriced
-New exclusive Switch 2™ NSO subscription tiers, so you can pay an extra $9.99 a year to rent Nintendo's bootleg Dolphin emulator to play one new Gamecube ROM every 6 months () or other pointless crap
-Switch 2™ exclusive eShop slop
-Less first-party titles and more second-to-third-to-indie slop and definitely less physical titles
-Console will be scalped and resold for thousands
-It will sell less than the Switch 1 overall, especially since there's no scamdemic economic void to fill this time, but it won't be as disastrous as the Wii U

Remember: if you pre-order anything, especially game consoles, you are too retarded to live

*BOTW was also on Wii U but given the catastrophic failure of that console and the fact that the newer and more appealing Switch console was on its way, most people who wanted BOTW probably got the Switch to play it

>has exclusives
Tough being a soybox and soystation cuck. Losing to PC and Nintendo another year

Switch Lite Stacies stay winning.

For real tho. How heavy is this thing since it's bigger than the OLED? I have weak baby hands and I don't want to be carrying and holding some lead brick.

 

[Anon88]

Like what most people ITT said I agree it looks basically the same as a regular switch and people who don't follow Nintendo that closely are probably going to get confused. Much more importantly to me Nintendo better be working on the trailer for the new Fire Emblem remake that going to be a launch title which totally exists.

@LifeAlert
Are we sure they aren't using hall effect joycons? That was a recurring rumour and they put special focus on the sticks in the trailer.

 

[Testacles Maximus]

I'm interested, but magnets and vague mario kart footage aren't exactly making me count the minutes until I can preorder this thing.

 

[Kharash]

Pretty much never use my Switch but when I do it's to chill in bed. Making it even bigger and clumsier really isn't what I'd have done.

>50 bucks per game in early 90s money

No wonder my parents didn't buy me many games

 

[Atlas Sneezed]

No one has asked the most important question: will Skyrim be released for it?

It plays OG Switch games so technically yes

Yeah, the recent leaks that match this design exactly all claim it will have Hall Effect joysticks. I wouldn't take it for granted that it has them, but it's a non-zero possibility right now.

Can't wait to be balling on you PC chuds with my Switch 2 with my 480p graphics and flimsy controller.

Not to mention the SNES itself was, like, $200 on release, which, according to adjustments for inflation, is apparently almost $460.

Emulating Mario Kart 8 Deluxe at 2K is amazing, with the only "problem" being the software-capped framerate. Now, if that really is a new Mario Kart being teased in the trailer, perhaps it'll also have an increased framerate cap. For the first time in my life I felt bad for pirating something due to how good emulated MK8 was. At 144Hz it would be the perfect bing bing wahoo experience.
