The hardware doesnt need to be creative anymore, the games do
As far as Nintendo goes, that is always how it ends up at the second half of a console life span. I guess gimmicks used to work as a selling point before with the Wii and DS. But Nintendo usually end up not using said gimmicks after a few years. Switch is no exception with Arms and Ring Fit for example.
Nintendo is probably doing the opposite this time, luring people in with good games and maybe use the gimmicks further down the console life span. Exciting!
Fr, most of my favorite franchises had some of their most uncreative “sanitized” entries on the switch
Yes I agree@@Oscargoo
You do need some creative hardware to make the games look good and played or did something new that wasn't experienced before as well something like Rare's 3D Polygon Pre-Render Machine managed to make 3D Graphics fit on a SNES without need for FX Chip nor 32X like attachments for example. There are some games that run from the machine that wasn't meant to work well might hinder some issues for the game like Street Fighter 1 on the Jamma did technically made the game not balanced properly back then, Ys III on PC-88 did had Paralax Scrolls problems on the PC-88 wasn't good with it to use for the PC-88, and even some MSX games that have platformers and Shumps have Scrolling Issues that is bit choppy. Technically the Nintendo Switch 1 console did had some performance issues on the later Switch games that wasn't properly set up like Pokemon Scarlet & Violet for example that it does have some animation problems on overworld map and the player had to be close to the NPCs to see the animations better. I do think the Nintendo Switch 2 would have better hardware to make the performance better for future games.
¿Por que no los dos?
I think it's often overlooked that Nintendo consoles have basically always been in pairs with a new revolutionary idea followed by an iterative upgrade
NES -> SNES (2D sprite-based games)
N64 -> GameCube (3D games with analog controls)
Wii -> Wii U (Motion controls)
GB -> GBA (2D portable gaming)
DS -> 3DS (Dual screens, 3D games)
Switch -> Switch 2 (Hybrid console)
37:52 Here’s the thing… you don’t see big heads at Nintendo ever leave for another company. With Western studios yes, and even some in Japan. But Miyamoto, Tezuka, Aonuma, and so many others have been there for decades. At any point they could leave and join any other AAA Japanese studio if they wanted, but they don’t. So clearly they must be doing something right to keep people there.
I only know of the Star Fox artist leaving, and that was so he could make his own manga, so a different pursuit he couldn’t fulfill at Nintendo (although he did make a visual novel sort of game from it).
I agree. Nintendo has a very high retention rate for staff even in USA
Nintendo of Japan has the highest retention rate and seemingly employment satisfaction. Last statistic I remember was like 96% of the people stay each year, which even for Japan's standards is high.
That's just the mentality of Japanese people. Whereas western people are more individualistic and will jump ship if given a better opportunity (not just salary wise, but also career wise), eastern people think of themselves more as a collective, so without any exceptional circumstances they will normally stay with the same company until it goes under or they get fired. And laying people off is also very frowned upon, so it's a last resort for when things really aren't going well. While you might see the eastern mentality as being better, the lack of flexibility can also pose serious issues with workplace stagnation and being left in the dust when it comes to modern developments. As with all things in life, both have pros and cons, and the best variant is to be somewhere in the middle.
My immediate response to the question was "Does the Switch 2 NEED to be creative?" I mean sure, creativity isn't a bad thing, but being creative for the sake of being different and unique... I mean we saw how few big games from Xbox 360 and PS3 had a version for Wii regardless of Wii's success. Then there's the Wii U which is, well the Wii U.
Instead of being creative for the sake of being creative and different, I think it's a good idea for the system to have some degree of parity with current consoles for the sake of 3rd party support. But maybe I just want FF7R Trilogy on Switch 2. 😆
there was a sizable amount of medium and small games from the ps360 that were also on the wii however
@Spacething7474 there were less and less as time went on though, the last years of the Wii's life were a barren wasteland
@@heyitsgabe1093 That being said, it still had a pretty good run from 2006 to 2013 (and 2014 to 2015 was okay). outside of Shakedown Hawaii in 2020, the remainder of its life was indeed barren.
@@Spacething7474 Okay, I hadn't seen shakedown hawaii before, the fact that it came out on Wii in 2020 is hilarious 😆
@@heyitsgabe1093 It also came out on the Wii U and PS3 in that year as well!
Honestly this is definitely a case of “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. I think the changes they made were enough and there’s only so many ways that could keep a hybrid console design plus make it backwards compatible. If either of those things weren’t there it would have been dead out of the gate.
The tickets say non transferable, but I imagine they'll only scan the QR Code when you're there and not check beyond that
Very different thing, but when I went to the Ghibli museum in Japan, my ticket was supposedly tied to my identity, but I was never asked for any ID, so I suspect that you're right.
Still, it's a big risk for thousands of dollars.
I went to the initial run for the OG Switch in 2017, and they required a cross reference to my Nintendo account at the entrance. I don't believe it was a QR but all the same- the process of getting in took 5ish minutes.
I’ve accepted my Nintendo product will never run better than my PS5 Pro. Just want a system that will run Nintendo games better than before, to keep it modern.
Totally agree that the games and peripherals are the right place for the wacky gimmicks. I don't want to skip an entire generation because of some deal-breaker gimmick. "Just a better Switch" is exactly what I want.
Well, expect something comparable to a steam deck. The tech Nintendo is supposedly using for the switch 2 is rather old (2020 tech), but given the slow advancements in modern computing technology it won't be much different from newer hardware. Speaking of, I'm curious to see how next gen consoles will improve upon current ones, considering that at similar prices they can't put out much better hardware than what they currently have.
The suggestion that Nintendo should avoid creativity in hardware just because it would be hard to replicate after the console is gone is just horrible. Game preservation is important, but it should never be used as an excuse to stifle creativity and innovation.
For me the latest creative element is gyro aiming. There's already a touchscreen, IR sensor and a microphone. I think I'm good when it comes to innovations without hindering the ability to play every "standard" videogame.
Personally I've always valued how creative and "innovative" Nintendo's hardware can be. I think it's as significant to their identity as their games are.
I'm not upset that we're getting more iterative system. In fact, it's far from it. The hybrid model still has a lot of life in it with a lot more avenues to explore, so I'm glad we're still keeping it going into the next generation, but I also want Nintendo to keeo being innovative and creative with their hardware too. The alleged mouse mode seems to be just that.
We still have an April Direct with more info, so I imagine there may be even more suprises when it comes to how fun and quirky the hardware and software can be.
The thing is, Nintendo consoles basically always come in pairs with innovation followed by iteration. The NES -> SNES, N64 -> GameCube, GB -> GBA, DS -> 3DS were all pretty iterative upgrades. Even the Wii U wasn't that different to the Wii, particularly as the Game Pad was underutilised.
I think Nintendo being creative and innovative with the games for Switch 2 just makes more sense now. You can design games from the ground up to be as innovative as you want and accommodate and retool them to make things work alot more easily than you can hardware-wise and that's generally where Nintendo's at their best and most innovative anyway. None of their wacky console gimmicks before the Switch truly caught on, and it makes sense why. Motion controls and a second screen were never meant to or realistically going to be as revolutionary for everyone as something like the jump to 3D with analog control was. That was never gonna happen a second time. It just doesn't work that way. Hardware is mostly standardized for a reason. Games have far more room and opportunities and ways to innovative than hardware itself does, especially on a control level for the most part. Games aren't locked in when they release as rigidly as consoles themselves are, so that's why innovations generally stick and work alot better and impress far more there anyway, especially for Nintendo.
There's a reason why Nintendo's most innovative games outlive the consoles they debuted on. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Breath of the Wild were innovative enough on their own, the GamePad wasn't what made them both mainstays, you know? Nintendo's innovations are best in-game and I'm glad they're doubling down on that for Switch 2 and making whatever new control innovations it does have like the Mouse-Con a smart and sensibly surprising evolution of what already worked before rather than just doing something random just because, because having a nuanced Nintendo innovation is far more innovative and truly Nintendo and interesting in the long run than gimmicks for the sake of gimmicks ever were anyway, as fun as the Wii and Wii U's gimmicks were at the time.
Nuance is way better for innovative Nintendo than not and those gimmicks didn't really have nuance at all in hindsight.
No but it doesn’t need to be. It’s crazy that in a generation where we got the PS5 and Series X (two consoles that barely improved on their predecessors), people are complaining about the Switch 2 being uncreative
With how things are, they’ve basically reached an apex of what they’ve already done. Like they already have the innovations of the snes controller layout, N64s introduction of the joystick, gamecubes compact design, wii’s motion controls (with the joycons also being a wii mote successor) and the portability of their handhelds with the wii u gamepads form factor.
Only big thing I can think of for them to do is VR (or somehow bringing duel screens back) which they already have a framework for. so if the tech is affordable then maybe a switch 3 could implement VR in a very accessible form of the console itself doubling as a VR headset on top of its docked and handheld modes.
The big innovation from the SNES to the N64 was the addition of the thumb stick.
19:29 "Joy-Pad" 10 Years from now we're gonna
look back at that and say he predicted
a new nintendo-gimmick lol
It may not be necessary, but it certainly is needed. The switch on its own is pretty creative, we just need a stronger version to be able to not hold back future games.
As someone who has been pretty unhappy with the Switch overall, I do agree its premature to say the Switch 2 isn't going to offer the creativity we love from Nintendo. I just hope they don't rest on their laurels, and they use what they've learned throughout this cycle to offer the most interesting games and best console experience they ever have. They're definitely going to have to set the tone with their own releases for Switch 2 while they and likely other developers are going to continue releasing more games for Switch 1 as the install base is so massive. My only worry is if they won't have the resources to do that. They don't have another failed console's library to fill out the down time between major releases, and I don't believe I'm the only one with great remake/remaster fatigue.
It's absolutely true that Nintendo has gone through several generations focused on iteration over major innovation (SNES, GameCube, GBA, 3DS, etc), and those periods are typically my favorite time to be a Nintendo fan. Here's hoping the Switch 2 can win me over where the previous failed to.
as a subscriber to you, and a person whose 2nd fav console of all time is the switch. i have to ask...was it the hardware or software that led to you disliking the switch?
@Gemma-Majoran It's mostly the hardware. I rarely ever play the thing in handheld so many games feel compromised for an aspect I'll never use. I've had too many issues with the controllers, particularly while playing multiplayer stuff, and I miss the user experience of the previous system. There's more to it but those are the key aspects.
@@wizawhat completely fair. i too mostly use the docked mode. but i guess the software (until recently) has kept me happy
I got in and I’m kind of shocked about it. I did as a “might as well” and then got in. It’s even weirder noting a lot of content creators didn’t get in.
Personally, I would rather Nintendo focus on innovating with the software rather than the hardware. One problem with console gimmicks is it can make games that make heavy use of said gimmick hard to rerelease or preserve, which is what happened with certain Wii and DS games.
Wasn’t the event acceptance just a lottery? I assumed that influence wasn’t a consideration.
29:52 iirc Breath of the Wild runs at 900p max on Switch and 720p max on Wii U, as well as running smoother in certain locations on Switch.
I haven’t seen a single person say they got into that Switch 2 event.
As said by the youth, “I sleep.” Honestly, I’m waiting till switch 2. March is also more my speed, with Split Fiction and Xenoblade X
Really sad so many gaming outlets and big youtubers hate the Switch 2 reveal. Switch 2 might flop harder than WiiU.
Gaming outlets and content creators are such a tiny percentage of the entire gaming community, and their content thrives off of negativity, so I wouldn’t worry too much. Even if it doesn’t do nearly as well as Switch 1, we’ll still have tons of good games bc they aren’t split between 2 systems. And Nintendo doesn’t cancel things nearly as often as other devs when something doesn’t sell 60 morbillion copies. Also, considering the trailer already has way more views than the Wii U’s lifetime sales, I think we’re good lol. It got like 14 million views in the first day
I think people only dislike it because we already knew everything. I don’t think anyone actually dislikes the console itself. I don’t see a scenario where it could flop
Lol, if you can I feel anything from this it'll be a big success because those big gaming outlets are always wrong
@@Bones1701 people already think it's gonna have outdated tech that's why they're hating on it
@@excadrillo99 but Nintendo history proves that they always fumble after a successful generation. We can only wait and see
I don’t want creativity, I want my Switch games to play at a stable frame rate. Thank you Nintendo for not trying to remake the wheel AGAIN
What happened to the GVG cast?
Big content creators not getting tickets for the event could give smaller content creators to get their big break.
24:27 Ironically, very few of the ideas in the Wii U gamepad were new. The DSI already had a microphone, camera, and touchscreen, and the later 3DS had a gyroscope. The only “new” thing from a hardware standpoint was the NFC reader, which other companies like Activision were already doing. The failure of the gamepad comes from taking ideas fit for mobile and putting them into a console, and thus tanking the potential performance and hardware value.
Jake Steinberg got in too I believe
Everytime Bluesky is mentioned. I feel like wow
I don’t like the comparison to the SNES, GameCube, or GBA at all. The NES, GameBoy, and N64 were so weak that a power boost massively expanded the potential scope of games. The Switch 1 was significantly more powerful than the PS3 and the Switch 2 is barely more powerful than the PS4.
I signed up for one Switch 2 slot in NYC, forgot about it, and then found out I got in after everyone complaining about not getting in reminded me to check 😂
So, I apologize if I missed some parts, since I had this on the background, but I wanted to reiterate some of the cool aspects y'all have touched upon and maybe add my take in that may not be too separate from yours.
I like what y'all said about Nintendo incorporating accessories with games instead of essential for merely booting up the system, like the Wii and its pointer controls.
Touching on this, besides the obvious optical sensor that looks real, a good way to simulate less of a mouse-scrolling feel, which is more accurate, if you wanted the pointer controls of the Wii for Wii games already out (Super Mario Galaxy as part of 3D All-Stars, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, and Metroid Prime Remastered either having pointer-like controls or options for them), they could merely add a strap that has an infrared sensor out of the way of the player's hands whether it be on the Z, L, R, or any other Buttons, with an infrared sensor, wireless or wirable through a USB port on a dock or some kickstand that has the USB ports for tabletop mode (HORI has at least a few licensed ones kickstands with USB ports, but Nintendo can make their own).
However, there is the downside, and those are the games you mentioned: Nintendo LABO and Ring Fit Adventure. Having RFA, I've rarely played that and most of the optional leg strap is used for Nintendo Switch Sports, which doesn't require the leg strap for soccer (but is much better with it, in my opinion). Also, PlayStation is cited as bringing in revolutionary accessories, but many of them, like the Move Controllers, even when incorporated into their VR systems only to be discarded for Sense Controllers for PSVR2, seem like they lack long-term support, and maybe because novelty accessories are just that: novelties. I just wish there was more support for these systems, but even the Wii died an early death despite being initially successful as the Move and Kinect came out.
I mentioned HORI, and they started making the left side controller with the Control Pad before making the Split Pad on both sides. I wouldn't mind if the next Pro Controller, since I assume the first one will still work with Nintendo Switch 2, is a "Joy-Con Pro" which is just the Pro Controller but split in half, with a chargeable grip included, but one that could be used in handheld mode. I also think an alternative for the right "Joy-Con Pro" as a separate accessory (or bundled for more as a separate listing, likely) is in place of the Right Stick could be a "C-Pad", which could be a touchpad designed more for handheld play for shooter-like games that could still work with panning cameras in platformers well enough where I'd prefer this as my default handheld layout. The larger Right Stick is better, but I'd prefer a touchpad for aiming, in addition to gyro-aiming. Obviously, this would be primarily used for handheld play, but it could be incorporated with the optical sensor, the infrared sensor, and gyro-aim in docked or tabletop mode.
These are all accessories we may not see initially, but they can include later down the line. This part is also a bit excessive, but we could see attachments plugged into one of the USB Type-C ports on the system (I believe there are at least two), like a screen holder for a second screen, which could just be a second system, from a Lite to another Switch 2 to a separate, cheap 3D model Nintendo will overcharge for to add the 3D effects for 3DS games.
Another aspect is that even if it doesn't include a projector at launch, there could be an accessory to plug into one of the USB-C ports to add one from the back, so playing in tabletop mode can enlarge the image on a flat wall, rather than being confined to admittedly a large screen, but presumably still small for multiplayer players.
The only person I'm subbed to on RUclips that got in is Buttons and Boxes, a pretty small channel. She's in Amsterdam and got her local one.
Hell yeah, hello kitty island adventure. Butter's would be proud
I signed my wife and I up for one time in NYC, and we somehow landed it... Scheduled our hotel for the weekend and took time off work to get there. It still feels a little unreal, my luck is not normally so good. I'm curious to see what the numbers are like, as far as how many people got in per slot.
I want to know how many people can get into the Switch 2 event in one session, because I’ve only seen a couple dozen people say they got in after days of looking through social media. That’s obviously not the best way to find the proportion of people who got in vs. those who didn’t, but it seems to me that the group sizes for each session are much smaller than I expected, and I wasn’t even expecting the sizes to be that big.
Honestly, the Switch 2 is all I wanted it to be from first glance.
I don't really see why it matters if someone bought the ticket or not. If someone sold it, they don't want go. Sporting events do this too. If you buy tickets digitally, they want you to have them in person in the app.
@Good Vibes Gaming Can you might do a video on thoughts about "Do you think the Nintendo Switch Online and it's content will appear on the Nintendo Switch 2" and "Do you think we could see some more NSO Game Console Apps be added exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2" please? (I do think the GameCube NSO + EP and Nintendo DS NSO + EP might get added exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2, but I do think we could see we get a TurboGrafx-16 NSO be added with HuCard and CD games in it since it might hold enough storage for the CD games on Nintendo Switch 2 Storage.)
I think so. The main thing that makes the hardware creative is a specific gimmick. This time, it's using the controllers as mice! That's pretty dang special! The hope is that it's utilized well and often! It's clear they don't want this to just be another Switch and nothing more. :)
1:00:20 awesome Outer Wilds praise, Brandon! I love that game as well.
Nintendo being Creative usually doesn't pan out so well so im super happy with the switch 2, remember the saying "If its not Broke then dont fix it" look how the Wii U turned out from their innovation
It would be really cool if they added achievements but alas that is unlikely
The question of "what difficulty do you generally prefer" is a fun one to think of it. I'm of a similar mind to Brandon and Steve here in that I'll usually play a game on normal; if it's the baseline difficulty the developers reccomend, that's usually the difficulty which will provide me the most enjoyment.
I will also add that I do love when there's either an option to change the difficulty on the fly in a game, since it allows me to make a specific game harder or easier depending on how I feel about the game. With Spider-man PS4, for example, I started on the standard difficulty: however, since I've played a lot of Batman Arkham and a lot of the combat here felt like it was in the same vein, I found standard to easy for my tastes and was delighted to be able to up the difficulty on the fly.
I also really like when games add really hard optional challenges to games: think the True Arena in a Kirby game or superbosses in a Final Fantasy. For me, having the option to seek out greater challenge at my leisure during the adventure or in post-game is oftentimes more motivating and more fun than simply assigning myself a higher difficulty level from the start.
Brandon I was at the same Switch preview event in Chicago from Facebook, we must've played breath of the wild on the same day way back when!
If the mouse joycon mechanic is true, that feels creative enough for a sequel console. I just hate how bland the branding is. Someone on twitter designed the Perfect logo with the S & 2 fused into an analog stick shape that wiggled left and right. Would've been Perfect! Nintendo need to pay that artist NOW and implement into all the branding before the april direct!
I feel like the next big innovation will be an AR platform that projects onto a specially designed tabletop board...
BUT I don't think Nintendo will be the ones behind it. I think it will be a Tamagotchi or Digivice that accidentally succeeds more than intended.
wukong is based on a myth, so its kind of fair game to have wukong in the name of some other dev team is like saying Disney is only people who can make hercules, You can't use someone else's interpretation of a god thats the only thing you cant do
@@Yoshizuyuner We’re specifically talking about shovelware games like Wukong Sun: Black Legend and Wukong’s Child Monkey King Myth that are obviously designed to confuse consumers.
49:09 they have to rewrite a lot of their own rules because technically speaking all these bootleg games have all the rights to be on their store and pass the needed checks and saying no to them without valid reason can be bad for store owners
It's not green, so yes!
The Switch 2 is not creative.
Does the Switch 2 need to be creative? At least for me it wouldn’t lower the value. Just the possibility of the mouse controller sounds really interesting
A better Switch is just fundamentally a great idea. As far as like touching that mirror of cutting edge performance goes? No. We may never, ever see a Nintendo system run like Elder Scrolls VI day one. But! The Switch2 IS going to be what it is: a better Switch. No news is good news, and transparency is favored in my opinion. Long live Nintendo and I’m excited for their ideas!
The Switch 2 is not even a new system. It's look a Switch with a new shell.
Is GVG cast dead? There hasnt been one in a long while now.
I guess news is slow...
It doesnt need to be. Its about the games.
I'm happy with the console and want fun quality games
End of the day its always about the games for me. Thats what will carry the system in the long term. Also a lot of folks dont realise how insane PS4 level power in the hands of Nintendo is.
I'm glad they aren't being creative they got a good thing going for them and they should keep going with it
Is the Nintendo 3DS “creative?”
Switch does run BoTW in a higher res, 900p
I just want more capable hardware power man on this thing man... The Switch is pretty much perfect already in its design. Also that mouse "gimmick" that's rumored to be inside the Joycons? That's gonna be a game changer man. Playing shooters or any kind of game that needs fine-aiming on this pup are gonna be a blast. And since Microsoft is going "SEGA" soon, 'Age of Empires 2' on the Switch 2 anyone?
nintendo fans will never get over this shit lol
Wheres John?
It doesn't need to be creative. "Creativity" does not equal long term success. The Wii fell off quickly in 2010 and the Wii U was a failure. The Wii was not the success Nintendo needed because it was a fad which contributed to the Wii U's failures.
And no, you can't force consumers to like gimmicks. No amount of upset Wii U fans can change that. No one wanted a lame console with little to offer.
The Switch is a combination of all of Nintendo previous ideas and it worked. The Switch 2 being a noticeable power boost which is exactly why people want. They want games to be innovative and have them run smoothly. A console needs a healthy library of games to succeed. Turn off third parties will lame gimmicks will lead to failure in today's times. No one wants to spend 3 digit numbers to play scrimblo the lame 2.5 platformers. Folks want a variety of games to play while Nintendo works on first party games. Quality third party games is crucial to a console's success. Which the N64, GCN. Wii. and Wii U struggled with.
The concept of having decent third parties games on a Nintendo console seems like a foreign concept to Nintendo fans. You need BOTH first party and third party games to succeed.
Love this channel
Nintendo are toy makers. That's how they treat their games, and their consoles. They will only change their hardware approach if they find new ways to create joy and new ways to play. It seems that with Switch 2, they decided that the dockable tablet & joy-con format is still the most interesting and fun way to play games, with what looks like a few minor additions. Nothing wrong with this, though it might only make the Switch 2 generation shorter than Switch 1; i.e. we might have the Switch 2 successor by like 2030 or something, if Nintendo find a new innovation that they feel would be worth pursuing.
No and it doesnt have to be
Are you recovering from a cold, Steve? Your voice sounds a but nasal. Hope you're doing well!
Just give me a new 3D Zelda - without motion controls - and I don't care how ''creative'' the console is.
You're gonna have to wait a while for that
these clowns prevoiusly said joycons are low-tech, amongst a barrage of noob.
How can you make a video about something like this that hasn’t even been fully revealed?? What a fail by you guys!
You guys are so salty that you didn't get the ticket😂
no and it shouldnt be
No it's not and we don't need it to be. Discussion over. lol
It does not need to be creative. Only better. The only "creative" systems were the Wii and Wii U. One took off and then crashed like a Musk rocket and the other exploded on the launch pad.
True. SNES was basically just a better NES with more buttons, way better graphics and sound. The GameCube basically took everything good about the N64 and improved on it, as well as addressing its shortcomings like finally moving to a disc format.
no
TBH, I feel like the only element of Switch 2 where I wish they got more creative is the logo. Like, it's literally just the Switch 1 logo with a 2 to the right. They could've at least put the 2 in between the Joy-Cons.
I wish SEGA would get back into the hardware business. Show all these freakin' clowns how it's done.
If somebody wants to spend a lot of money paying a scalper for a product they should be allowed to enjoy that product. Idk why there is so much hate for scalpers. If you want the product that badly then put in the effort just like they do. Buying and selling has been around since we've been alive.😂😂
? nobody hates the person paying the scalper
its the scalper using unfair tactics to create artificial scarcity (which is illegal for companies to do) thats being hated lmao
Was the 3DS creative? Answer that and copy paste.
Honestly I think Nintendo is moreso about gimmicks than "ooh creativity".
And while yes some gimmicks can be considered creative, not all of them are(such as your example of the 3DS, 3D wasn't creative but it was an interesting gimmick)
They always try to add a gimmick that will set their products apart from the competition.
@@RageReq0 Yep, the gimmick of the Switch 2 is pretty similar to the 3DS. The 3DS was just a more powerful DS, but it had the 3d feature most people didn't use. I think the mouse input on the joycons is equivalent to that, but could actually turn out to be a good deal more useful. But at its core, in the same way the 3ds was just a more powerful ds, the switch 2 is a more powerful switch. That's how I see it anyway. Considering both are handhelds, Nintendo is really just doing what was successful in the past. I think people are over-reacting about how "un-Nintendo" the Switch 2 is. It's very similar to the 3ds.
The Switch 2, as a name, even sounds lazy, but it has a double meaning. It has 2 switch functionalities - the original Switch, but now it has a joycon Switch, so Switch 2.
@@Katie-hb8iq I'd disagree slightly on that because for the time glasses-free 3D was really creative and interesting. It may not have impacted much overall, but I wouldn't argue it wasn't creative. That being said the 3DS also had gyro which I'd say was a substantial feature for a handheld gaming platform.
@@Klaxynd I think you misread. I never said it wasn't creative. My main point is that the bulk of what the 3ds offered was a more powerful ds. We know this because it didn't sell due to the 3d feature, it got steam from the games people wanted to play. The Switch 2 will be no different.
@ Ah, guess I misunderstood. Sorry. 😆
No. DS and Wii were creative. 3DS was creative. Wii U was the freaking peak of creative ingenuity. Switch was reduced to basic features, and Switch 2 seems to be playing it even more safe.
Good. Tired of the gimmicks.
If you look at a closed DS and a closed 3DS, you basically need to look for the camera to tell the difference between them. In terms of form factor, DS to 3DS is even more similar in appearance than Switch to Switch 2.
yet wii u has been the biggest failure in recent gaming history
The thing is the Wii U never did anything that justified itself. Most games didn’t make great use of the gamepad, and the games that tried to were pretty gimmicky or cumbersome (star fox). Having access to map and inventory in stuff like Zelda and Pikmin was neat but not game changing.
@mbc2120 I'm probably in the minority because I got used to Starfox Zero's controls and 2-screen-action in no time. The only problem with Starfox Zero was slow copter/robot sections in formerly epic areas such as Zoness. Arwing, a couple Landmaster, and one or two Submarine stages is all Starfox needs. The new vehicles are slow and stupid and their missions aren't nearly as fun as the Arwing stages. This is what really dragged the gameplay down.
Also, the Wii U is essentialy the best console for some games because a few games really made perfect use of the GamePad. Super Mario Maker 1 is a billion times more comfortable on that console, and so are other games like Splatoon 1. Even Xenoblade Chronicles X will lose that resource gathering map routing game running in realtime on the second screen. They must remove an immersive QoL feature and bury it into an option menu on Switch.
The only reason there still is no Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD on Switch is because the Wii U versions are perfect and the Switch version can only be worse. Hell, they removed Wii U features from Breath of the Wild so they run the same on both consoles!!
Furthermore, the DS/3DS/Wii U touchscreen as a whole had pinpoint accuracy needed for creative games like Nintendo Land, Kirby & The Rainbow Curse, Game & Wario, or Art Academy. The Switch touchscreen is for mobile games, and it can't be used as a second screen. It's useless.
The Wii pointer had less problems than the Switch pointer as well.
Come on man. The Switch has worse gimmicks!
It may not be necessary, but it certainly is needed. The switch on its own is pretty creative, we just need a stronger version to be able to not hold back future games.
If somebody wants to spend a lot of money paying a scalper for a product they should be allowed to enjoy that product. Idk why there is so much hate for scalpers. If you want the product that badly then put in the effort just like they do. Buying and selling has been around since we've been alive.😂😂
