Not really sure bout that I mean this year is all about the games and Nintendo might have a few bangers but people are looking for something that could later and after what happened with streamers getting sued and palworld things arnt in nintendos corner as much as they should be
YES! People just hate on nintendo for being a cheaper option with exclusives when the ps5 has like no exclusive games other than ASTRO bot and the pokemon sv framerate issue is 100% the pokemon company's decision not nintendos though the totk frame drops were a bit annoying
It's disingenuous to say "dollars canadian" when the guy is CLEARLY talking about american dollars. The Steamdeck isn't that different in price from a Switch 2 and you can play almost if not all PC games.
@P.GREYBarnett Caveat, It's the decision of both. Nintendo still has quite a bit of say in the running of the Pokemon Company. Not a complete say, but they can take reins when they REALLY need to. ToTK and BoTW having frame drops makes sense, those game are just... Objectively, more expensive in scope than SV. People hate on Nintendo recently because despite intentionally having lower specs, they've started to not make up for it with quality and optimization. Something they were originally really good at.
Steam deck lowest price is litteraly around 400usd without oled and there is already an oled version for those who dont like LCD and can afford it. And about specs we only got leaks for now so nothing official but they probably wont be that far. Rog Ally X is 800$ from what i see (cause prices are not in usd where i live) but their is also Rog Ally classic which is 500$ for some specs that i would be surprise (in a good way) from nintendo to do better. About legion Go to be fair i never heard about it and is indeed more expensive even if specs seems fair for the price. We dont even know what's the price of the switch2, tho most people seems to believe it's gonna be more then 400$ since the first one was around 300, which is litteraly as much as the steam deck at best. I hope it will be less since, seeing the hardware's leaks, if it wasnt for exclusive games or because it's nintendo the brand of childhood memories, for real, nobody would buy it seeing the other alternatives.
The lowest tier steam deck is about 400$ and the medium tier one (which is OLED with HDR and 90hz) is about 560$, I don't think it's fair to only compare the highest tier ones.
Expecting 4K60 on a $400 handheld is a bit much. And anyone who knows Nintendo would not have been expecting specs or anything like that in the reveal trailer.
Dunno what's that obsession with the 4k, someone explains? I genuinely don't understand it, as long as I have minimum 60 fps without random drops I'm happy with it
It's really not expecting too much when that's the standard now, the steam deck did it in 2022, Asus ROG Ally and the Lenovo Legion Go did it in 2023, and that's just the ones mentioned in the video
These new gamers that just came to nintendo don't understand that their consoles have NEVER been about specs. It's been about the games they make. Most of Nintendo cares way more about making gameplay features than they care about graphical design.
Sometimes that's all you need. Yeah it's not gonna work forever, but we already knew the Switch was a success so why wouldn't they milk it a little longer?
Switch 2 looks like switch 1 because the switch 1 (dare i say it) probably had one of the best designs in console history. Its only flaw (from a design standpoint) was the small size and the switch 2 is fixing that! Im very excited
@@Mr.M2045 I mean the others are windows so I can install epic, steam, GOG all onto them. Plus I can get free games from both steam and epic. Nintendo is just locked to its own stuff
I agree that it should be 60 fps, but I don't think it should be 4k 60 fps. It is a handheld afterall, It will be fine if it is 1080 60fps and the best I ask is 1.5k or 1440p 60 fps
@@TylerinCB DLSS also works on low fps, It can sometimes increase 30 fps to 60 fps in some games on the sacrifice of graphics, but graphics would take less of a hit on handheld compared to monitor or tv.
I'm fine with it being 1080p in handheld, I just want a dock that will boost the performance so it can be 4K docked. I hope I will be able to resist buying it, but I probably won't 😅 I was sick of the performance on the switch in some of the games, that I believe need and deserves better performance.
Nintendo has plenty of enemies. They lost a lot of goodwill for the child-like overreaction to palworld doing pokemon better than they could. Steamdeck is better already than switch and comes with a huge library of games, and everyone has a cell phone to play games on... Switch will have Zelda: Something of the Something, and 2 $60 Pokemon games that wish they were $20 palworld.
People casually forgetting about the virtual boy. Also, Palworld didn't do pokemon better, they did something different with the formula that was fun because it was new. After a while the playerbase dropped because that famcy new feeling dissappeared for a lot of people.
I swear people have the weirdest standards for nintendo, they mock them for making gimicks and wacky consoles and then procede to say they're boring for making a regular console.
@@gametheus1306 I admit it, but him asking for 4K 60 fps is straight up goofy ngl. However, Pokemon SV, the gen 4 remakes, Legends Arceus, and in my opinion also Zelda totk were graphically awful.
Exclusives are what make Nintendo what they are. They’re not ever going to release them somewhere else. They do just fine as a company by keeping all their IPs
The main problem with putting Nintendo IPs on PC imo is that there are a few features that either would be extremely awkward or difficult to properly implement on PC. Things like the Poffin Minigame from Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, motion controls in BoTW/TOTK, Splatoon, and Legends Arceus, or the NFC scanner for amiibo registration. I might be overthinking it or there are examples of similar systems working, and if so, let me know, but those are the notable things that come to mind.
This man will eventually learn that Nintendo’s business model has worked for years and it will still continue to work regardless of the specs. It’s the brand.
Exactly. Like complaining about Nintendo’s exclusivity is stupid. Why would I ever purchase a PS5 or Xbox now that all of their games come to my PC that runs 10x better? This isn’t Nintendo grabbing a random third party and going “hey we’re making you an exclusive” like PlayStation wants to do with Arkham, no this is their games. The only thing I fault Nintendo for is not letting at least their characters do crossovers, like in Fortnite for example.
@wet0wlalso the fact that EVERY LITTLE THING FROM THEM NEEDS THEIR NAME ON IT AND YOURE NOT USING IT EVEN IF IT IS. They copyright strike literally everything, even RUclipsrs that are just playing their games. And they just made their own music app so you can exclusive listen to music from Nintendo games. This is not me complaining about them doing it, so much as how stubborn they are about letting people just listen or show the things they make on the internet without being outside legal boundaries
Lmao yes and no, just because the brand is huge doesn’t mean as many people are willing to drop $400 on a new console if they’re going to miss out on a better experience, HOWEVER because Nintendo has exclusives they will definitely sell a crap load of stock Will they sell as much as the first switch? Prolly not
The Switch 2 doesn’t have competition, the SteamDeck has around 3 million units sold to the Switches 130 million (numbers could be slightly outdated). Not to mention that the reason people buy nintendo consoles is to play Nintendo games, which the steamdeck can’t do without illegal piracy. The general consumer doesn’t want to illegally pirate a game, led alone kids who is the target audience of Nintendo IP’s and games.
Piracy is not really illegal in most countries. Also exklusive are pretty bad on the switch. Besides port you have totk/Echoes of wisdom which are pretty bad and a lot of bad pokemon games
Dumping your games onto the Steam Deck is perfectly legal. Despite what Nintendo says. Nintendo literally sells emulators themselves behind a pay wall.
@@Gunther69420 You really said exclusive are bad on Switch, all i need to hear. Opinion invalidated. Splatoon 2/3, Smash, Mario Odyssey, BOTH Legends of Zelda, Kirby, Luigis mansion 3, Mario and Luigi Brotherhood, Paper Mario, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe just to name a few of them. Sating Nintendo doesnt have incredible exclusive is just biased
Yeah the Steam Deck is just a handheld for PC players for the most part. And even still as a PC player I’m still going to purchase the Switch 2 because Nintendo’s exclusives are just that good and I prefer their button layout.
@@DavinaVx Two things can be true at once. Pokemon SV was not the only game that suffered from the low grade hardware, rather if it was a port like MK1 or Hogwarts Legacy. Or something directly from Nintendo like Tears of the Kingdom.

@@DrAnimePhDit’s still stupid as a statement. The dock is only increasing TDP, unless you wanna fit a GPU in there too. Idk how you still expecting that to not throttle or cost under 500.
@@syedmuhammadibtehaj8794 we don’t know the full extent of what switch 2 is capable of. We don’t have the specs yet nor do we know if the rumor of the mouse control on the new joy cons is true. We’re not gonna know that until April 2nd. What we know from rumor is it it’s going to heavily rely on DLSS and the dock in someway is going to increase performance and Fidelity. All we know from the rumors is it’s going to be a little more powerful than a PS4. Whether or not it will be more powerful than a steam deck. We will just have to wait and see.
@Gylgamish the steam deck isn't 800 it's 650 max with the 1tb Oled model and 399 min for the 256gb which realistically you could get the 256gb and just slap a 1tb ssd in there which is the easiest thing in the world and come out spending less money than you would buying the 650 dollar version. The price isn't the problem, the only reason the steam deck won't beat switch in sales is for the exclusives and because people are gonna buy switches for their kids because the switch has more games and stuff marketed towards kids. Plus most parents probably don't know what a steam deck is or what games the steam library has. If it weren't for those few factors the steam deck and probably just about every other handheld would dominate switch any day of the week.
I hate when people hate on the switch 2 and scarlet and violet, the switch 2 is just as different from the switch as all PlayStation consoles are from each other , and scarlet and violet was made by gamefreak a rushed group of 200 people working on tons of stuff at the same time
I've heard of the steam deck and that's it. I've also never actually seen anyone with a steam deck or any of the others. But I've only met like two people who have a switch because most people don't think Nintendo games are worth paying for a whole separate console for compared to Xbox and PlayStation who have more games.
Yeah nobody makes their points clear anymore, but in this case he’s not a hypocrite. The reason he criticizes Xbox for releasing their exclusives everywhere but does the opposite for Nintendo is because Sony hasn’t started porting their exclusives to other consoles, they’ve only done it for PC (because it’s the middle ground for all consoles). He’s also scolding Nintendo for not porting their games because they’ve taken down emulators that people would normally play Nintendo games on PC with. Basically he’s getting into Nintendo because they’re NOT into porting their games everywhere, but he’s criticizing Xbox because they’re the only ones planning to release their exclusives EVERYWHERE while Sony ONLY ports to PC and not other consoles (and Nintendo doesn’t do it at all). Basically Basically, he saying Xbox is taking it too far, Nintendo isn’t doing anything at all, but Sony is doing it just right.
Dudes just hustling for views man, it seems he just uploading the hot topic of the week and repeating common complaints so I’d take what he says with a grain of salt
I took this as nitendo, finally being satisfied with a game console. Nitendo is the only one to come out with such a different system every time. Playstation 5 and xbox x dont do anything crazy and innovative, just slap on another number or symbol and upgrade to better specs. Im okay with a nitendo switch 2.
@@Blinkor27 Nintendo is pretty much just publishing it on there console. The Pokémon company & Gamefreak are the big deciding factor. For example they decide when a Pokémon game is ready or not, not Nintendo. Gamefreak could have delayed S&V and Nintendo would more than likely be ok with it.

@@Gunther69420 we are aware different people want different things, it’s just funny that the people who said what they wanted are now completely changing their minds
Nintendo sticks to last-gen hardware for a couple reasons: 1. It allows them to sell a console for considerably cheaper than the competition, which is important for their target audience (families, casual gamers) 2. All the devs who have mastered creating for last-gen hardware can instantly create optimized master works for Nintendo consoles, whereas they'd need time to learn and practice for next-gen consoles Together, this means Nintendo can have incredibly high-quality games on their cheaper-than-the-competition console. This is how Nintendo thrives
Guys....its nintendo. Do you like mario? Do you like zelda? Pokemon? Then you'll buy it. Its worked for decades now. Im a sucker for it. You all will be too. Think weve accepted that nintendo isnt about competition anymore. They do their own thing and have done for years, mostly, prioritising fun and family. The switch 2 didnt need to look massively different. Its a better versioj of something we all liked at launch. It'll run better, look better and hopefully have more games on it now that they arent held back by 8 year old hardware. Im excited. I remember watching all the launch trailers and seeing people vlog from new york for day one launch, all the events at nintendo stores etc. That was when i was 14, im now 22
@@Instinct10_01 that's facts Mario sucks Pokemon is in a bad place Zelda is the only good game the hardware is crap and very underwhelming compared to PS5 or Xbox not to mention all the PC handhelds
Nintendo is HORRID as a company, but they do give good reasons to take a look at their consoles, but calling Steam Deck and the other PC handhelds "competition" always gave me a weird feeling, PC gaming market is dramatically different compared to consoles. Sony and Xbox doesn't care about putting their games on PC since PCs are a different market with their own community and reasons to not get a console, your average Joe isn't buying a whole PC or a Steam Deck and deal with the hassle of buying ALL the games they had again
@@xinnoplayz they didn't mention quality or age, just that the claims have been made before (every time by a handheld more powerful than Nintendo's) only for that handheld to wildly underperform compared to the Nintendo handheld it was competing with
Love how everyone wanted an updated version of a perfected formula and now we get it and people are underwhelmed. Better screen, bigger screen, better and bigger joy cons, looks like it will also work like a mouse, and it’s definitely going to be much more powerful.
@ fr bro. I usually agree with some of his takes, but he’s been way off a lot of times too. This is literally what everyone wanted, Nintendo delivered and now people just say whatever twitter tells them to instead of thinking for themselves.
I already dislike the switch for several reasons. Pretty much no games that are worth playing, because every game is either a port or another bad pokemon/Zelda game. It is weak as a console and bad as a handhelt
Visually the new design is really good. The black joycons with the blue and red accents gives it a more sleek and mature look while still paying homage to the vibrant blue and red of the original Switch.
Am I the only one that thinks the accents look weird? The desaturated colors just don’t look right to me, they don’t pop like the original switch’s colors did. I feel like if you’re gonna have a mostly black system that you’ve got to have accents that stand out more. And the placement of the accent being around the joystick looks off too. I hope there’s a variant that’s all black/grey like the original switch, I think it’d look better. I hope they’ll be more colorful joycons at some point, I think the switch having some customizability in the form of colorful joycons was really important to its identity. That’s just me tho. I won’t judge you for liking it but I just don’t think this design appeals to me.
@thetruebadevil And your opinion is fine too! Personally, I like it, it feels more sleek and nice to look at. But if you like the more vibrant colors, that's fine too! Overall, if the design doesn't appeal to you, it's a subjective opinion so everyone can be correct here ^^
You know before the Wii U, the Game Cube was the worst selling Nintendo consoles, right? The reason why all the games cost so much is because no one brought it until the Wii came out and show people that these games were good.
They didn't show much, you'd not invest thousands for 2 minute video long. This was better than a Tweet with "next Nintendo Direct will be about Nintendo Switch sucessor on April 2025".
I love your content bro I really do it’s great keep it up but asking Nintendo to be basically as powerful as newest gen is crazy considering they haven’t done that since the wii. Also genuinely asking Nintendo to port there games to pc is crazy considering the fact that they have so many console exclusives is the reason why there consoles do so well (besides the Wii U lol).
Yeah, like people need to stop comparing Nintendo to Xbox and PlayStation anymore they’re not in the same market anymore Xbox and PlayStation have their feud because they’re very similarly structured Nintendo is different now that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be making their games actually run better like it is 2025 get better specs but I’m not expecting them to have a PlayStation five powered console in the switch 2

I am happy they are doing a straight upgrade this generation. I'd actually prefer them not to try to re-invent the wheel EVERY time - I'll be happy to see something different after Switch 2 but I really wanted this.
I agree with you, the concept of the Switch and Switch 2 is enough and Solid. Just Upgrading the Specs and Hardware should be a Solid Console Im on it 4 Sure, waiting 4 Professor Layton😊
Like I love when Nintendo gets quirky and has innovation but the Switch is such a great idea that really was just being held back by advances in technology, and now that's fixed
Treating the steamdeck like its a competitor to the switch is like treating the best basketball player at your high-school like they're a legitimate competitor to Michael Jordan.
The steamdeck went as low as 299 new let's and only runs steam it's not a gaming PC but it's a better handheld than the switch for sure all around with more games
Okay I was disagreeing with you at the start because fans have been asking specifically for a Switch pro because the switch design is alreasy pretty peak and we just want a more powerful version, so "not looking very different" is actually a good sign. But you bring up a very fair point about console exclusivity being outdated with the current climate of competition.
Are you slow?. Consoles are static devices that you put on a shelve and leave it there for years. What differentiates a console from its predecessor is the controller. Look at the DualShock, they added analog capabilities first, then motion control and gyro, then a touchscreen, then haptic feedback. Nintendo was in the same path adding new capabilities to their mobile devices every iteration until now. But of course, I can’t expect a Nintendo boot licker to have any kind of nuance yet alone common sense.
I honestly don’t understand why people are underwhelmed by this reveal. It’s a better switch, which is exactly what most people wanted, and what PS and Xbox have been doing forever. They probably didn’t show many details because this trailer was meant to be more like a teaser than an actual trailer. Plus I’m super hyped for the new Mario kart
For me, I’m underwhelmed just because it was announced so randomly(almost as if they were just getting tired of people leaking) and they took the iPhone approach of making the next product basically the same, just bigger. I just need more details and I’m sold(Mario Kart 9 looks dope)

Yay, I'm one of those people that picked a Steam Deck over Nintendo Switch. To me, the reveal of the Switch 2 itself feels like the Wii U. It's the same thing but it has few changes to make it "new" but the only changes I have seen is the bigger screen and the joy cons. Unless there's something ground breaking about Switch 2 that sets it apart from the original Switch then I'm keeping my optimism at a bare minimum.

Exclusive is what made nintendo successful. That's why they sold over 150million console. Why would you buy a ps5/xbox console when you can buy it on pc? Non-Exclusive would cause nintendo to lose a lot of money on hardware. Nintendo like to sue but they know how to make game and console sell very well.

Even PS5 and Series X can't do 60FPS at 4K natively and those handhelds that you listed get 40-50FPS at 900p. There is no way you're getting 4K 60 unless you're playing on a PC.
People acting like Nintendo didn't literally invent the handheld. Nintendo's handhelds have murdered every competitor that has come out so far. Edit: Some of you keep saying Steam Deck is better. Let’s look at the numbers. In the first year the Switch was out it sold around 14.6 million units. Steam Deck barely sold over 1.6 million. I looked at the numbers for 2023 because Valve hasn’t released the 2024 sales numbers yet. Steam Deck barely broke 3 million units sold. While the Switch sold over 21 million units and that doesn’t take into count the Switch Lite or the Switch OLED.

True since A original Gameboy sold better than game gear at it's time even thought gamegear had color and a light but why game gear lost? It's all because it had quite terrible games
Thank you. I understand for some games a bad frame rate might hurt the experience, heck it’s happened to me, but some people also need to just… enjoy the game, not look at the graphics.
Yeah also all other handhelds are just small PCs. So you can‘t download in standby and games are not as good optimized as on real consoles. Also all other handheld competitors are digital only and a lot of people like to buy physical games. And you don‘t have to log in at something. My steamdeck at a vacation, because for some reasons i was logged out from steam and i needed internet to log in. And i don‘t had internet acces for some days.
Literally most people just want a more powerful switch and that’s what they are giving us. The design might be similar to the original but it’s not like Xbox or PlayStation’s consoles have evolved mush outside of power and the reason people even buy consoles is for the GAMES. Also the PC handhelds are barely any competition. Edit: 4k on a handheld is an absurd standard but when docked it should support 4k.
also like there isn't a whole lot of the design that can be changed for the better specs can always be improved but the actual physical design is already pretty good

@@DrPhantom64"But they'd make more money if they put their games on PC too" Nintendo exclusives are basically just there to get people to buy their systems so that there's an install base to court developers over to their system so that they can make money off of owning a platform as well as making 100% of the profits from their own stuff AND not having to pay a platform holder like steam everytime they make a sale, but people just ignore those facts because it's a convenient excuse for why Nintendo doesn't do what they want.
To be fair, the switch never really has had competition even with stuff like the steam deck. Even if there are other handhelds now, nintendo will still be the top 1 just because they are nintendo.
It's only really "top 1" because of exclusivity. Enable Nintendo games on other consoles and you'll see lower console sales. It's a good market strat NGL tho.

[WARNING: This comment is purely my opinion on the switch 2 so dont come and hate me for this] Sure 4k 60 would be amazing for the switch 2 but what people seem to forget/not understand is that the standard switch was primarily a handheld device for people to use whenever they're traveling or when they're lying down on their bed or their sofa so it's not always going to run at 4k 60fps unlike the PS5 and Series X. In my opinion going around and expecting everything to run at 4k 60fps as a standard isn't a very good outlook on things and usually ends up with people getting disappointed and then proceeding to hate on it just because it doesn't run at the specs they want it to. [Once again this is my opinion so don't hate me]
Yeah no most people seem to agree with you that while yes 4k would be crazy the thing is that even consoles like ps5 can barley run 4k smooth as butter so asking for a handheld hybrid to have as much power as a pc is one unrealistic and two way too much to ask for a 400$ dollar console which in my opinion is a steal cuz your getting essentially a portable ps4 which in my opinion while not having the greatest graphics today can still run very good and it wouldn’t feel too outdated honestly your paying 100 more bucks for a better switch that can play your original switch games with better hardware, that’s how I view it anyways
4k 60fps I think is an absurd standard. Why most of the time I can hardly tell the difference. What is most important is that the frame rate be consistent. 30fps is better than 60fps that randomly jitters into 30-45

This is a bad take. The Switch 2's design is unchanged from the Switch because the Switch was already perfect. Dont fix what isnt broken. The first Switch's only flaw is the lack of power, so that's the only thing the Switch 2 needs to improve on. As long as it does that then Im happy
I mean it wasn’t suppose to be that different, remember last time when they made the wiiu. This was obvious. The switches worked! People just were complaining how old it was and it that it couldn’t play modern games very well
Keep in mind, leaked sources reported that the cpu is an 8 core cpu instead of a 4 core cpu, and it has 12gb of LPDDR5 Ram instead of the originals' 4gb of LPDDR4 Ram. All in all, you're looking at an estimated 2 times the processing power and 3 times more data processing at once. The pricing is also estimated to be slightly cheaper than the original PS5 in 2020. Likely a $649.99 AUD price tag.
@Crafty_boy70 it may be the nostalgia but I think I prefer the old style of pokemon. But in scarlet/violet they have some of my favorite pokemon so I do enjoy it
Hot take, I don't think games need to be 60 fps... yes I know this is a HUGE company we are talking about here, but with over 16,000 games under the switch 1's belt, some games are just made by the very tiny studios who aren't able to push out that 60 frame minimum. However for their titles, there isn't much of an exception for them. Overall, I think 4k 60fps minimum is kind of a hard ball for these developers who are trying to just get their hands at a good market and making a few returns. (Also for those folks who say "EwW 30fPs wOrks GaRbAge" no, it really doesn't, most movies and shows run at 30 frames and no one is complaining about that. Choppy ranges and anything below 20 is bad, not smooth 30)
The only thing is I know people how can really tell the difference between the two that 30 f with them but besides that I never had a problem with 30 fps also I don’t have a 4k tv so ya don’t need that too
It's also absurd how they want 4k 60 fps from a $400 HANDHELD, like bro, if we were getting performance like that on a handheld that shits gonna cost more than a 4090 💀
Its also silly because the ps5 and xbox series x doesn't even do 4k 60fps for the majority of their AAA games. At best, Switch 2 is likely to be a 1440p 30fps, 1080p 60fps machine with DLSS
I think you forgot that new games on Switch are moslty exclusives that have "childish" graphics so they can literally run on phone too. With childish I mean not realistic and there is nothing wrong with that but you cant compare them to games on other consoles and pcs
@levu1584 what kind of phone do you need to have to play a switch game better than a switch? I can play smoothly games but I have a 1300€ phone, the switch costs about 200/300€ so what's the point? And even then you need to buy games (which you can find used for 20€ only dummies buy em new, if you want to play on release day it's a different thing) you can't just pirate em, even if I'm not by Nintendo side on some corporation politics
Some specs have been leaked, apparently we're expecting 1536 CUDA cores with Ray Tracing and Tensor Cores, practically when in handheld mode it's 7.5% more powerful than a steamdeck and when docked nearly double that performance. Basically 9 times stronger than a normal switch handheld and 16 times stronger docked.
i’m ngl nobody’s gonna care about the hardware when it releases other than, “its more powerful” or “its underpowered.” if you’re buying the switch 2 for specs, that’s stupid. you’re buying it for the games
@@giganticmoonsome will also buy third party games so they can play it portably or with the switch gimmick, I've seen people playing nier automata on switch, i don't get the reason but they waited for it
DLSS will be huge. Imagine letting developers render lower so you can get PS5 ports to run on it. AI used in this way is honestly what I like to see in games. Make developers port games more easily to get more games out faster and on more consoles
@@ImFastImVeryFast3 million units really isn’t huge, and the steam deck and switch have entirely different audiences. The Switch 2 doesn’t have any competition.
Tbh I don’t agree with your take on the specs. Like yes it should be better, but I don’t actually mind 30FPS for most games and don’t need 4K. Also let’s be real here…those other consoles aren’t REALLY competing with switch. No one is debating between switch and steam deck except for a small percentage of gamers. You buy a switch because you want Nintendo games.
@@Gunther69420”30 fps in 2025 is terrible” let me ask you this, why does the year matter? Is ocarina of time a “bad game” because it doesn’t run at 60 fps 4K? Nothing pisses me off more than spec obsessors! It kills me that people expect a handheld device to run as smoothly as a ps5 which is a dedicated console that’s $200 more! Here’s my thing, better specs is nice, truth is, it’s not gonna affect me buying it tho. I don’t care if it runs like a last gen console, people still had fun last gen didn’t they? What’s with gamers and acting like no one can have fun on anything that isn’t the most optimized tech?
@@DoubtlessCar0also a ps5 is so much bigger with way more tech its better performance wise no matter what but trying to downplay the switch does piss me off fr
@@ZaSlicer I mean yeah that’s exactly what I was talking about! It’s like asking why a $1000 phone isn’t able to play the same games as a $1000 pc! Like people need to remember it’s not only a cheaper product, but it’s a handheld! If you had a $500 handheld and a $500 console, the console would have a higher performance!
Personally still super excited. This is EXACTLY what I wanted. A better switch 1 to play games on a PS4 level. Much cheaper than competition besides steam deck, but that is too big for me to want to really bring it anywhere compared to my switch
Fr? It's been what? 5 years? I won't believe it but if it's true then finally. They really announced that and 😞 after with no news. But I heard the studio is like 4 people or something so understandable. But I'll look forward to it then thanks for letting me know
Switch almost outsold the most selling console of all time. They may have even passed it since the last time I looked. I do agree with the exclusives, and optimized games. But to say the other handheld are actual competition to Switch is some crazy work. Go to your room, sit on your bed, and think about what you did...
The bitching about graphics is the stupidest thing ever, if the story and games have great gameplay and compelling, cinematic, episodic storytelling, it's all that matters.
The switch was made to explicitly downgrade everything that ran on it. That is the problem. If you use the switch hardware without the software and run an emulator on it it runs better. I do agree that 4K is kind of ridiculous though
@@coltonstewart8698 I'd say it's more of anything third party that ran on it was downgraded rather than the switch being made to explicitly downgrade anything on it
I don’t think that it will be compared to other hand held ones since it’s mostly used for Nintendo games. However, I imagine this will be a DS and 3DS situation. Where the 3DS is better, most of us will still get one, but it’s not much different
But there were some games that could only be played on 3DS because of the 3d elements. Assume something similar will happen when they annouce newer games
@ yea. I’m pretty sure that’s going to happen to if they are already saying it’s backwards compatible. Meaning it’s not the same games, but it’s compatible with the switch games.
There's two charging ports one on top one on bottom which is a good change as one on top is better for charging and playing in handheld at the same time
The charger on the top and the bottom is a good change, because you can be able to charge your switch while in tabletop mode. Before you had to prop the switch higher in order to charge it from the bottom
I have a Steam Deck. But honestly, the sales is nowhere near Switch. I don't think Nintendo really considers other handhelds as real threats. That's why they could get away with things that they do. The most litigate gaming company. Their bad treatments to emulators. Didn't affect their sales in the slightest.

Steam Deck - $700 CAD
ROG Ally - $700
Legion GO - $700
Switch 2 - $400
Switch 2 isn’t trying to compete. They’re trying to be Nintendo.
YES! People just hate on nintendo for being a cheaper option with exclusives when the ps5 has like no exclusive games other than ASTRO bot and the pokemon sv framerate issue is 100% the pokemon company's decision not nintendos though the totk frame drops were a bit annoying
It's disingenuous to say "dollars canadian" when the guy is CLEARLY talking about american dollars. The Steamdeck isn't that different in price from a Switch 2 and you can play almost if not all PC games.
@P.GREYBarnett Caveat, It's the decision of both. Nintendo still has quite a bit of say in the running of the Pokemon Company. Not a complete say, but they can take reins when they REALLY need to.
ToTK and BoTW having frame drops makes sense, those game are just... Objectively, more expensive in scope than SV. People hate on Nintendo recently because despite intentionally having lower specs, they've started to not make up for it with quality and optimization. Something they were originally really good at.
Steam deck lowest price is litteraly around 400usd without oled and there is already an oled version for those who dont like LCD and can afford it. And about specs we only got leaks for now so nothing official but they probably wont be that far.
Rog Ally X is 800$ from what i see (cause prices are not in usd where i live) but their is also Rog Ally classic which is 500$ for some specs that i would be surprise (in a good way) from nintendo to do better.
About legion Go to be fair i never heard about it and is indeed more expensive even if specs seems fair for the price.
We dont even know what's the price of the switch2, tho most people seems to believe it's gonna be more then 400$ since the first one was around 300, which is litteraly as much as the steam deck at best.
I hope it will be less since, seeing the hardware's leaks, if it wasnt for exclusive games or because it's nintendo the brand of childhood memories, for real, nobody would buy it seeing the other alternatives.
The lowest tier steam deck is about 400$ and the medium tier one (which is OLED with HDR and 90hz) is about 560$, I don't think it's fair to only compare the highest tier ones.
Missed opportunity to call it the SUPER Nintendo Switch….

Expecting 4K60 on a $400 handheld is a bit much. And anyone who knows Nintendo would not have been expecting specs or anything like that in the reveal trailer.

Nintendo games arent too demanding and they optimize well i thi k we will have 4k60 sometines
Dunno what's that obsession with the 4k, someone explains? I genuinely don't understand it, as long as I have minimum 60 fps without random drops I'm happy with it
It's really not expecting too much when that's the standard now, the steam deck did it in 2022, Asus ROG Ally and the Lenovo Legion Go did it in 2023, and that's just the ones mentioned in the video
These new gamers that just came to nintendo don't understand that their consoles have NEVER been about specs. It's been about the games they make. Most of Nintendo cares way more about making gameplay features than they care about graphical design.
"don't fix what ain't broke, just make it bigger"

It will be fine if it is 1080 60fps and the best I ask is 1.5k or 1440p 60 fps
I agree. 4k on a handheld is much. 1080p would be perfect
People have way too high expectations. Battery would be killed within minutes if 4K was attempted on the handheld. DLSS will help a lot though
@@Mirage475 DLSS only works if you already have decent fps, generally 60+, so DLSS won’t do anything for the switch lol
@@TylerinCB DLSS also works on low fps, It can sometimes increase 30 fps to 60 fps in some games on the sacrifice of graphics, but graphics would take less of a hit on handheld compared to monitor or tv.
I'm fine with it being 1080p in handheld, I just want a dock that will boost the performance so it can be 4K docked.
I hope I will be able to resist buying it, but I probably won't 😅 I was sick of the performance on the switch in some of the games, that I believe need and deserves better performance.
Nintendo has no enemies, their market is kids, and the switch was a major success, as was the DS, snd the wii, the wii u being an exception.
Which is a shame because it WAS a good console with EXTREMELY BAD marketing tactics.
Their marketing are people that want exclusive and unique games
Nintendo has plenty of enemies. They lost a lot of goodwill for the child-like overreaction to palworld doing pokemon better than they could.
Steamdeck is better already than switch and comes with a huge library of games, and everyone has a cell phone to play games on... Switch will have Zelda: Something of the Something, and 2 $60 Pokemon games that wish they were $20 palworld.
You underestimate the amount of neckbeards trapped in nostalgia
People casually forgetting about the virtual boy. Also, Palworld didn't do pokemon better, they did something different with the formula that was fun because it was new. After a while the playerbase dropped because that famcy new feeling dissappeared for a lot of people.
I swear people have the weirdest standards for nintendo, they mock them for making gimicks and wacky consoles and then procede to say they're boring for making a regular console.
" Nintendo is for kids " trend yk 🤷.

Exclusives are what make Nintendo what they are. They’re not ever going to release them somewhere else. They do just fine as a company by keeping all their IPs
I am pretty sure if they made it available on PC they would make more money as more people can buy those games and play it
Nintendo would definitely lose money if they put thier games on pc
The main problem with putting Nintendo IPs on PC imo is that there are a few features that either would be extremely awkward or difficult to properly implement on PC. Things like the Poffin Minigame from Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, motion controls in BoTW/TOTK, Splatoon, and Legends Arceus, or the NFC scanner for amiibo registration. I might be overthinking it or there are examples of similar systems working, and if so, let me know, but those are the notable things that come to mind.
@Pokegamer-8bityou mean pirate the games right... 😉
@ isn’t it possible with a mouse not to mention Nintendo does sell controllers which can help in things like the poffin mini game by using the stick
This man will eventually learn that Nintendo’s business model has worked for years and it will still continue to work regardless of the specs. It’s the brand.
THANK YOU THIS GUY JUST COMPLAINS FOR NO REASON
Exactly. Like complaining about Nintendo’s exclusivity is stupid.
Why would I ever purchase a PS5 or Xbox now that all of their games come to my PC that runs 10x better?
This isn’t Nintendo grabbing a random third party and going “hey we’re making you an exclusive” like PlayStation wants to do with Arkham, no this is their games. The only thing I fault Nintendo for is not letting at least their characters do crossovers, like in Fortnite for example.
@wet0wlalso the fact that EVERY LITTLE THING FROM THEM NEEDS THEIR NAME ON IT AND YOURE NOT USING IT EVEN IF IT IS.
They copyright strike literally everything, even RUclipsrs that are just playing their games. And they just made their own music app so you can exclusive listen to music from Nintendo games. This is not me complaining about them doing it, so much as how stubborn they are about letting people just listen or show the things they make on the internet without being outside legal boundaries
@@kinjr04 We're talking about the console and games here. Everyone knows Nintendo has a hyperactive legal team.
Lmao yes and no, just because the brand is huge doesn’t mean as many people are willing to drop $400 on a new console if they’re going to miss out on a better experience, HOWEVER because Nintendo has exclusives they will definitely sell a crap load of stock
Will they sell as much as the first switch? Prolly not
The Switch 2 doesn’t have competition, the SteamDeck has around 3 million units sold to the Switches 130 million (numbers could be slightly outdated). Not to mention that the reason people buy nintendo consoles is to play Nintendo games, which the steamdeck can’t do without illegal piracy. The general consumer doesn’t want to illegally pirate a game, led alone kids who is the target audience of Nintendo IP’s and games.
Piracy is not really illegal in most countries. Also exklusive are pretty bad on the switch. Besides port you have totk/Echoes of wisdom which are pretty bad and a lot of bad pokemon games
Dumping your games onto the Steam Deck is perfectly legal. Despite what Nintendo says. Nintendo literally sells emulators themselves behind a pay wall.
@@Gunther69420 You really said exclusive are bad on Switch, all i need to hear. Opinion invalidated.

The reason he criticizes Xbox for releasing their exclusives everywhere but does the opposite for Nintendo is because Sony hasn’t started porting their exclusives to other consoles, they’ve only done it for PC (because it’s the middle ground for all consoles). He’s also scolding Nintendo for not porting their games because they’ve taken down emulators that people would normally play Nintendo games on PC with.

Nintendo sticks to last-gen hardware for a couple reasons:
1. It allows them to sell a console for considerably cheaper than the competition, which is important for their target audience (families, casual gamers)
2. All the devs who have mastered creating for last-gen hardware can instantly create optimized master works for Nintendo consoles, whereas they'd need time to learn and practice for next-gen consoles
Together, this means Nintendo can have incredibly high-quality games on their cheaper-than-the-competition console. This is how Nintendo thrives

Nintendo is HORRID as a company, but they do give good reasons to take a look at their consoles, but calling Steam Deck and the other PC handhelds "competition" always gave me a weird feeling, PC gaming market is dramatically different compared to consoles. Sony and Xbox doesn't care about putting their games on PC since PCs are a different market with their own community and reasons to not get a console, your average Joe isn't buying a whole PC or a Steam Deck and deal with the hassle of buying ALL the games they had again
@@xinnoplayz they didn't mention quality or age, just that the claims have been made before (every time by a handheld more powerful than Nintendo's) only for that handheld to wildly underperform compared to the Nintendo handheld it was competing with
Love how everyone wanted an updated version of a perfected formula and now we get it and people are underwhelmed. Better screen, bigger screen, better and bigger joy cons, looks like it will also work like a mouse, and it’s definitely going to be much more powerful.
people like jacob are just megahypocrites
@ fr bro. I usually agree with some of his takes, but he’s been way off a lot of times too. This is literally what everyone wanted, Nintendo delivered and now people just say whatever twitter tells them to instead of thinking for themselves.
I already dislike the switch for several reasons. Pretty much no games that are worth playing, because every game is either a port or another bad pokemon/Zelda game. It is weak as a console and bad as a handhelt
@Gunther69420 bad zelda games ? Like botw, the game who revolutionized the genre ?
@@oeufoplat1079 Hes saying the same every 2 comments fella just a ragebait
I feel like a lot of people misconstrue why the wii u failed.
Visually the new design is really good. The black joycons with the blue and red accents gives it a more sleek and mature look while still paying homage to the vibrant blue and red of the original Switch.
Gawk gawk gawk
Am I the only one that thinks the accents look weird? The desaturated colors just don’t look right to me, they don’t pop like the original switch’s colors did. I feel like if you’re gonna have a mostly black system that you’ve got to have accents that stand out more. And the placement of the accent being around the joystick looks off too. I hope there’s a variant that’s all black/grey like the original switch, I think it’d look better. I hope they’ll be more colorful joycons at some point, I think the switch having some customizability in the form of colorful joycons was really important to its identity.
That’s just me tho. I won’t judge you for liking it but I just don’t think this design appeals to me.
@thetruebadevil And your opinion is fine too! Personally, I like it, it feels more sleek and nice to look at. But if you like the more vibrant colors, that's fine too! Overall, if the design doesn't appeal to you, it's a subjective opinion so everyone can be correct here ^^
@@thetruebadevili can see where your coming from. For me, I have to see it in person but it don't look too bad.
Agreed. But the right joycon's accent looks more orange than red to me. It works really well with the light blue and black matte
Nintendo needs to drop the game cube 2 fr
Tru
Yes. Make it as powerful as a series X and bring back the tiny disks
That was the Wii
You know before the Wii U, the Game Cube was the worst selling Nintendo consoles, right? The reason why all the games cost so much is because no one brought it until the Wii came out and show people that these games were good.

I love your content bro I really do it’s great keep it up but asking Nintendo to be basically as powerful as newest gen is crazy considering they haven’t done that since the wii. Also genuinely asking Nintendo to port there games to pc is crazy considering the fact that they have so many console exclusives is the reason why there consoles do so well (besides the Wii U lol).
Yeah, like people need to stop comparing Nintendo to Xbox and PlayStation anymore they’re not in the same market anymore Xbox and PlayStation have their feud because they’re very similarly structured Nintendo is different now that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be making their games actually run better like it is 2025 get better specs but I’m not expecting them to have a PlayStation five powered console in the switch 2
Yeah. The only real similarity is that they are a game company. Nintendo didn't participate in the console wars.@@philippeparvais284

I am happy they are doing a straight upgrade this generation. I'd actually prefer them not to try to re-invent the wheel EVERY time - I'll be happy to see something different after Switch 2 but I really wanted this.
Nah, some of the most strange- yet awesome things happened when they innovated
@@thallesalmeida5880but they always release an upgraded version before innovating. Ds to 3Ds, Wii to Wii U for some examples
I agree with you, the concept of the Switch and Switch 2 is enough and Solid. Just Upgrading the Specs and Hardware should be a Solid Console
Im on it 4 Sure, waiting 4 Professor Layton😊
Like I love when Nintendo gets quirky and has innovation but the Switch is such a great idea that really was just being held back by advances in technology, and now that's fixed
So the switch moving to the ninth generation while Sony and Xbox are preparing for the Tenth Generation should be a praise now?
Treating the steamdeck like its a competitor to the switch is like treating the best basketball player at your high-school like they're a legitimate competitor to Michael Jordan.
steamdeck is a million times better
@@cococock2418 And yet Nintendo sells more in a year than Steam Deck has ever sold
As bad as that analogy is, one is a gaming console, the other is a handheld PC... Not the same playing field.
Which is which?
The steamdeck went as low as 299 new let's and only runs steam it's not a gaming PC but it's a better handheld than the switch for sure all around with more games
Okay I was disagreeing with you at the start because fans have been asking specifically for a Switch pro because the switch design is alreasy pretty peak and we just want a more powerful version, so "not looking very different" is actually a good sign. But you bring up a very fair point about console exclusivity being outdated with the current climate of competition.
Nintendo switch => Nintendo switch 2:
😡😡😡 Not different enough!
Ps4/xbox one => ps5/ Xbox series X/S:
😍😍😍 Wow so different!
People: „we want a more powerfull switch“
Nintendo: Makes a more powerfull switch.
People: „pff it isn‘t different enough“
No company is gonna make major design changes to something as successful as the switch. Just not logical
Are you slow?. Consoles are static devices that you put on a shelve and leave it there for years. What differentiates a console from its predecessor is the controller. Look at the DualShock, they added analog capabilities first, then motion control and gyro, then a touchscreen, then haptic feedback.
Nintendo was in the same path adding new capabilities to their mobile devices every iteration until now.
But of course, I can’t expect a Nintendo boot licker to have any kind of nuance yet alone common sense.

Yay, I'm one of those people that picked a Steam Deck over Nintendo Switch.
To me, the reveal of the Switch 2 itself feels like the Wii U. It's the same thing but it has few changes to make it "new" but the only changes I have seen is the bigger screen and the joy cons.
Unless there's something ground breaking about Switch 2 that sets it apart from the original Switch then I'm keeping my optimism at a bare minimum.

Tbf Scarlet and Violet was mostly Gamefreaks fault.
I don't understand why people mostly blame game freak's problems on Nintendo. If game freak actually hired employees that knew what they were doing, scarlet and violet wouldn't have half the problems it has in the first place.
@N0lukc It's less that they can't make a really well polished game, it's just that higher ups force them to put out content on a yearly basis.

@@pokekiller787x Nah, for a game of it's caliber, the Pokemon mainline titles is less of a "time" problem. Palworld was made in 3 years with FAR LESS developers(from 3 to 40), on top of an engine change mid development.
@@pokekiller787x Yes there is truth in that they are pretty much forced to push out games, but game freak needs to learn to adapt to changes brought forth to them for them to be able to thrive as a dev team. I think they learned that with the failure of scarlet and violet as they are adding more qualified people to their team with legends Z-A and gen 10 on the horizon.
Exclusive is what made nintendo successful. That's why they sold over 150million console. Why would you buy a ps5/xbox console when you can buy it on pc? Non-Exclusive would cause nintendo to lose a lot of money on hardware. Nintendo like to sue but they know how to make game and console sell very well. They been doing their own things and doing better than sony/microsoft in gaming
All I’ll say on the matter is that they absolutely PUSHED that hardware for 8 whole years, and while yes it shows, it’s still impressive
The switch is pretty powerful. In docked mode it can reach about half the power of a PS4
Even PS5 and Series X can't do 60FPS at 4K natively and those handhelds that you listed get 40-50FPS at 900p. There is no way you're getting 4K 60 unless you're playing on a PC.
You can get 4K native and 60fps on Xbox, but not in all games
You can get 4k 60 nativity on the Xbox Series X on many games.

@@Nightleader which games, I don't have a Xbox. So I wouldn't know.
People acting like Nintendo didn't literally invent the handheld. Nintendo's handhelds have murdered every competitor that has come out so far.
Edit: Some of you keep saying Steam Deck is better. Let’s look at the numbers. In the first year the Switch was out it sold around 14.6 million units. Steam Deck barely sold over 1.6 million. I looked at the numbers for 2023 because Valve hasn’t released the 2024 sales numbers yet. Steam Deck barely broke 3 million units sold. While the Switch sold over 21 million units and that doesn’t take into count the Switch Lite or the Switch OLED.
Not this time. Steam deck is just goated

True since A original Gameboy sold better than game gear at it's time even thought gamegear had color and a light but why game gear lost? It's all because it had quite terrible games
I mean... they're Nintendo. They sold cardboard arts and crafts once and made a profit, this should sell well too.
Am i the only one that didin't care about how good a game is looking as long as it is fun 😅
Thank you. I understand for some games a bad frame rate might hurt the experience, heck it’s happened to me, but some people also need to just… enjoy the game, not look at the graphics.
All the competitors are literally handheld computers which probably all cost more than the switch 2 will ever be
Actually one of the versions of the steam deck is at the $400 price point of the switch 2
Switch two price hasn’t been officially confirmed yet
@@megarockmanz But Switch 2 will likely be more powerful than Steam Deck
FACTS
Yeah also all other handhelds are just small PCs. So you can‘t download in standby and games are not as good optimized as on real consoles. Also all other handheld competitors are digital only and a lot of people like to buy physical games. And you don‘t have to log in at something. My steamdeck at a vacation, because for some reasons i was logged out from steam and i needed internet to log in. And i don‘t had internet acces for some days.
Literally most people just want a more powerful switch and that’s what they are giving us. The design might be similar to the original but it’s not like Xbox or PlayStation’s consoles have evolved mush outside of power and the reason people even buy consoles is for the GAMES. Also the PC handhelds are barely any competition.
Edit: 4k on a handheld is an absurd standard but when docked it should support 4k.
4k is pointless when its at the cost of framerate.
also like there isn't a whole lot of the design that can be changed for the better
specs can always be improved but the actual physical design is already pretty good
every time i play scarlet and violet i just say “omg this game is so ugly, for a company so rich you’d think they’d be able to make a pretty game”. it’s so annoying
And they want full price for games, who are not better then most indi-games.
Bro said, "Competition?" 😂😂
>Major hardware improvements
>PS4 Pro/Xbox Series S equivalent hardware
>Bigger console making the Switch OLED look like a Lite
>$400 for a drastically better console in comparison to what Sony is doing and charging $800 no disc drive for their “pro” which has little to no improvements from the base model.

“That was pathetic” this line sounded personal.

Nintendo still makes the best games out of all the gaming companies. And the subtle and simple changes are perfect in my opinion. Nothing over the top, just a newer, better, bigger and cooler looking console
This
This reveal is the most “alright alright, here it is, now stop asking for it” reveal I’ve ever seen.
TOTK was a technical marvel in every sense. Yeah, there’s a lot of frame drops, but the fact that it was able to run as consistently as it does on the Switch’s hardware is an insane achievement. Can’t wait to see how beautifully it reins on the new hardware
If you think totk runs even remotely fine, you should try games that are not on the switch
@@Gunther69420 I have a PC and agree with OP. TOTK runs really well outside of Kakariko village.
@@Gunther69420They meant on the Switch
@@Gunther69420 you need to work on your reading comprehension. I’m specifically referring to the insane amount of work they obviously put into optimization for TOTK to even run on the Switch at all. Of course there are frequent moments where the game drops frames, but the fact that they were somehow able to get the game to be playable at all is a huge feat. And yes, it is very playable. I primarily play on PC and PlayStation so I’m well aware of what modern hardware is capable of.
All that on a base switch to boot. ToTK was insane if you really think about it
Not the krusty krab 2 😂😂😭
Caught me off guard
"Let's be honest, is not that different from the Switch 1"
And it's exactly what we wanted, we don't need any new gimmicks or special functions. Is just the Switch but better, and that's all we needed. It's also fully backwards compatible with all Switch 1 games physically and digitally. Which is more than we can say for a lot of recent Sony and Microsoft game console releases.
I find it so funny how
Nintendo fans make fun of PlayStation and Xbox for not having exclusives but PlayStation and Xbox fans keep complaining about Nintendo
“Paywalling” exclusives
It also wasn't too long ago that Jacob made a short saying how Xbox should make more exclusives, and the whole short felt very pro-exclusives. Adds a little comedy to the situation.
Jacob expecting Nintendo to put their games on PC is honestly strange. Nintendos exclusives are what keep them in business, without them, Nintendo dies. It’s an objectively bad decision for them to do that
@@DrPhantom64"But they'd make more money if they put their games on PC too" Nintendo exclusives are basically just there to get people to buy their systems so that there's an install base to court developers over to their system so that they can make money off of owning a platform as well as making 100% of the profits from their own stuff AND not having to pay a platform holder like steam everytime they make a sale, but people just ignore those facts because it's a convenient excuse for why Nintendo doesn't do what they want.
To be fair, the switch never really has had competition even with stuff like the steam deck. Even if there are other handhelds now, nintendo will still be the top 1 just because they are nintendo.
It's only really "top 1" because of exclusivity. Enable Nintendo games on other consoles and you'll see lower console sales. It's a good market strat NGL tho.
@@D3adCl0wnpeople still buy the system it’s not just the games alone
The switch is weak for a console and too big for a handhelt. Not sure if anyone wants to buy one kf there were no exclusives
@ I legit didn't know the Switch is bought other than exclusive games, enlighten me.
Did anyone else only get hyped after Mario Kart 9 was confirmed in the trailer? No? Just me? Okay...
I am
A lot of us got hyped, myself included. I dont think he truly understands that this wasn't underwhelming in the slightest. It makes sense to give a little tease of the new console and a launch game and then talk more about it/fully announce it at a later date. All im hoping for is that they went with hall effect sticks, so we dont have to worry about stick drift, but thats a pipe dream. 😅
It’s Mario kart 11 I think but not 9

@@SolarSkyline bc mk9 is tour n mk10 is mk live:home circuit so it has to be Mario kart 11 with the future Pokemon of generation 10 n 11 on this console
Ngl the Switch being able to handle totk’s massive world and every single object in like a half-mile radius all at once is quite astounding for only losing a couple frames
[WARNING: This comment is purely my opinion on the switch 2 so dont come and hate me for this]
Sure 4k 60 would be amazing for the switch 2 but what people seem to forget/not understand is that the standard switch was primarily a handheld device for people to use whenever they're traveling or when they're lying down on their bed or their sofa so it's not always going to run at 4k 60fps unlike the PS5 and Series X. In my opinion going around and expecting everything to run at 4k 60fps as a standard isn't a very good outlook on things and usually ends up with people getting disappointed and then proceeding to hate on it just because it doesn't run at the specs they want it to.
[Once again this is my opinion so don't hate me]
Yeah no most people seem to agree with you that while yes 4k would be crazy the thing is that even consoles like ps5 can barley run 4k smooth as butter so asking for a handheld hybrid to have as much power as a pc is one unrealistic and two way too much to ask for a 400$ dollar console which in my opinion is a steal cuz your getting essentially a portable ps4 which in my opinion while not having the greatest graphics today can still run very good and it wouldn’t feel too outdated honestly your paying 100 more bucks for a better switch that can play your original switch games with better hardware, that’s how I view it anyways
4k 60fps I think is an absurd standard. Why most of the time I can hardly tell the difference. What is most important is that the frame rate be consistent. 30fps is better than 60fps that randomly jitters into 30-45
I'm gonna hate on you
Well...not every sequel to a console needs to look completely different

This is a bad take.
The Switch 2's design is unchanged from the Switch because the Switch was already perfect. Dont fix what isnt broken.
The first Switch's only flaw is the lack of power, so that's the only thing the Switch 2 needs to improve on. As long as it does that then Im happy
They got the iPhone treatment
I mean it wasn’t suppose to be that different, remember last time when they made the wiiu. This was obvious. The switches worked! People just were complaining how old it was and it that it couldn’t play modern games very well
They also have specs out and it’s more power full than the steam deck and it’s twice the performance in dock mode
Ok but you can’t expect 4k 60 hz on handheld but I think dock could do it? Idk but not even a steam deck or rog could do that
Dlss and ray tracing might make it happen and more
Not really, the Wii U's problem was that was both too similar to the eyes of passerbies and too different to the Wii with the pad
@ Well people will at least know about the new switch two this time
I feel like they were just sick of the leakers online and just told one of them when it was happening
Keep in mind, leaked sources reported that the cpu is an 8 core cpu instead of a 4 core cpu, and it has 12gb of LPDDR5 Ram instead of the originals' 4gb of LPDDR4 Ram.
All in all, you're looking at an estimated 2 times the processing power and 3 times more data processing at once. The pricing is also estimated to be slightly cheaper than the original PS5 in 2020. Likely a $649.99 AUD price tag.
Frame drops was the least of the switch's issues in Scarlet and Violet. The game was practically unplayable. But that's more on the game
Yeah, sick of people blaming the performance issues of that game on the console.
@Crafty_boy70 Approved

Krusty crab 1 and 2 is diabolical 😭😭
Hot take, I don't think games need to be 60 fps... yes I know this is a HUGE company we are talking about here, but with over 16,000 games under the switch 1's belt, some games are just made by the very tiny studios who aren't able to push out that 60 frame minimum. However for their titles, there isn't much of an exception for them.
Overall, I think 4k 60fps minimum is kind of a hard ball for these developers who are trying to just get their hands at a good market and making a few returns.
(Also for those folks who say "EwW 30fPs wOrks GaRbAge" no, it really doesn't, most movies and shows run at 30 frames and no one is complaining about that. Choppy ranges and anything below 20 is bad, not smooth 30)
I kind of agree with you I feel triple A studio should have a minimum of 60 if the game calls for it
The only thing is I know people how can really tell the difference between the two that 30 f with them but besides that I never had a problem with 30 fps also I don’t have a 4k tv so ya don’t need that too
It's also absurd how they want 4k 60 fps from a $400 HANDHELD, like bro, if we were getting performance like that on a handheld that shits gonna cost more than a 4090 💀
Agreed. But most movies and tv run at 24fps increments not 30
Its also silly because the ps5 and xbox series x doesn't even do 4k 60fps for the majority of their AAA games.
At best, Switch 2 is likely to be a 1440p 30fps, 1080p 60fps machine with DLSS
Screw 60 fps if the games run well that’s a win
Some people forget the first switch dropped in 2017 and can run new Gen games it’s still kinda Crazy that the switch is 8 years old almost
I think you forgot that new games on Switch are moslty exclusives that have "childish" graphics so they can literally run on phone too. With childish I mean not realistic and there is nothing wrong with that but you cant compare them to games on other consoles and pcs
@levu1584 what kind of phone do you need to have to play a switch game better than a switch? I can play smoothly games but I have a 1300€ phone, the switch costs about 200/300€ so what's the point? And even then you need to buy games (which you can find used for 20€ only dummies buy em new, if you want to play on release day it's a different thing) you can't just pirate em, even if I'm not by Nintendo side on some corporation politics

Some specs have been leaked, apparently we're expecting 1536 CUDA cores with Ray Tracing and Tensor Cores, practically when in handheld mode it's 7.5% more powerful than a steamdeck and when docked nearly double that performance. Basically 9 times stronger than a normal switch handheld and 16 times stronger docked.

DLSS will be huge. Imagine letting developers render lower so you can get PS5 ports to run on it. AI used in this way is honestly what I like to see in games. Make developers port games more easily to get more games out faster and on more consoles

@@ImFastImVeryFast3 million units? in your closed ecosystem yeah it is but in the real world, nobody has one.
I have never heard any of those handhelds except the steam deck stop acting like Nintendo has competition in a handheld market
@@ImFastImVeryFast Steam Deck sure. But the Rog Ally? LLG? How about those? Genuinely asking here
Tbh I don’t agree with your take on the specs. Like yes it should be better, but I don’t actually mind 30FPS for most games and don’t need 4K. Also let’s be real here…those other consoles aren’t REALLY competing with switch. No one is debating between switch and steam deck except for a small percentage of gamers. You buy a switch because you want Nintendo games.
30 fps in 2025 is terrible. But as long as people eat up the nintendo mess they will continue to release terrible performance
@@Gunther69420”30 fps in 2025 is terrible” let me ask you this, why does the year matter? Is ocarina of time a “bad game” because it doesn’t run at 60 fps 4K? Nothing pisses me off more than spec obsessors! It kills me that people expect a handheld device to run as smoothly as a ps5 which is a dedicated console that’s $200 more! Here’s my thing, better specs is nice, truth is, it’s not gonna affect me buying it tho. I don’t care if it runs like a last gen console, people still had fun last gen didn’t they? What’s with gamers and acting like no one can have fun on anything that isn’t the most optimized tech?
@@DoubtlessCar0also a ps5 is so much bigger with way more tech its better performance wise no matter what but trying to downplay the switch does piss me off fr
@@ZaSlicer I mean yeah that’s exactly what I was talking about! It’s like asking why a $1000 phone isn’t able to play the same games as a $1000 pc! Like people need to remember it’s not only a cheaper product, but it’s a handheld! If you had a $500 handheld and a $500 console, the console would have a higher performance!
@DoubtlessCar0 fr like it's common sense in the gaming industry 😂
There's not much room in a switch as there is in a ps5
Personally still super excited. This is EXACTLY what I wanted. A better switch 1 to play games on a PS4 level. Much cheaper than competition besides steam deck, but that is too big for me to want to really bring it anywhere compared to my switch
The switch 2 will sell more than the steam deck and all the other Nintendo switch competitors combined in the first year just wait!
For those few fans here who might care:
Silk Song news might be revealed on the same day as the Nintendo Direct with the Switch 2.
Fr? It's been what? 5 years? I won't believe it but if it's true then finally. They really announced that and 😞 after with no news. But I heard the studio is like 4 people or something so understandable. But I'll look forward to it then thanks for letting me know
Impossible
There's zero evidence that will happen lol
@@Echo__plexthe evidence is called copium
I've played these games before...
(Coughs)Wii U. (Coughs)
That’s what I’m saying!
Too be fair, they made it pretty clear that it wasn't a new accessory this time😅
Ours kept breaking so we just gave up 😭
Nah it’s gonna sell well. They got Mario kart 9 at launch.
can any remind me if there a Wii U game that isn't 3D world.
Nintendo just changing the sticker on the back from “Nintendo Switch” to “Nintendo Switch 2” and calling it a day:
It was leaked
He’s speaking facts about the FPS tho
Call me a hater, but none of those hand held consoles you listed are even close to being competition 😂
Switch almost outsold the most selling console of all time. They may have even passed it since the last time I looked. I do agree with the exclusives, and optimized games. But to say the other handheld are actual competition to Switch is some crazy work.
Go to your room, sit on your bed, and think about what you did...
The bitching about graphics is the stupidest thing ever, if the story and games have great gameplay and compelling, cinematic, episodic storytelling, it's all that matters.
The switch was made to explicitly downgrade everything that ran on it. That is the problem.
If you use the switch hardware without the software and run an emulator on it it runs better.
I do agree that 4K is kind of ridiculous though
@@coltonstewart8698 The Switch underclocked for battery life.
@@coltonstewart8698 I'd say it's more of anything third party that ran on it was downgraded rather than the switch being made to explicitly downgrade anything on it
PlayStation released a FRICKIN CAR!
I don’t think that it will be compared to other hand held ones since it’s mostly used for Nintendo games.
However, I imagine this will be a DS and 3DS situation. Where the 3DS is better, most of us will still get one, but it’s not much different
But there were some games that could only be played on 3DS because of the 3d elements. Assume something similar will happen when they annouce newer games
@ yea. I’m pretty sure that’s going to happen to if they are already saying it’s backwards compatible. Meaning it’s not the same games, but it’s compatible with the switch games.
That kickstand is the biggest improvement they made I hate charger being on top
They made two chart ports one on the bottom the one on the top
There's two charging ports one on top one on bottom which is a good change as one on top is better for charging and playing in handheld at the same time
The charger on the top and the bottom is a good change, because you can be able to charge your switch while in tabletop mode.
Before you had to prop the switch higher in order to charge it from the bottom
I have a Steam Deck. But honestly, the sales is nowhere near Switch. I don't think Nintendo really considers other handhelds as real threats. That's why they could get away with things that they do. The most litigate gaming company. Their bad treatments to emulators. Didn't affect their sales in the slightest.
Why would they completely redesign it? It's a handheld console. There's a reason why handhelds all have a similar design.
