If they don't fill the Joy-con with water, I swear I'm gonna flip
What if they fill it with mini Yoshi eggs 🥚 instead?
@@inspectorvoidI will only accept this if they hatch like spider eggs and thousands of tiny Yoshis flow out of the seams in the controllers
It's gonna be fine don't flip they got it
@@TehJimlad I had a spider egg hatch over me once in a bathroom while was mid number 2. I freaked out.
@@TehJimladthen those yoshis lay more eggs and you get more yoshis per yoshi
Jon please do audiobooks one day
He has a elegant voice.
Accurate request right here
I mean, he has uploaded him reading children's books on a seperate channel
He does voiceover work I'm pretty sure. Fairly sure I recognised his voice on a UK TV commercial.
Creepy uncle voice is not good for books
They should take Jon’s controller idea and name it the “switch-army knife”
The Switchblade.
*you best switch up that additude*
There's actually a switch homebrew app for pc with that name.
Jon mentioning the "Pokemon 30 FPS performance update" nearly made me cry lol
43:21 I know one of the members of Source Gaming has been talking about how badly they want a Balloon Fighter 99,
I think it fits perfectly for the formula
Jon mentioned Wave Race, and while I'd love that, my prediction is... Pilotwings. Hear me out...
Pilotwings has always been a trailblazer series for the launch window of systems featuring new graphic technology.
SNES with MODE7, N64 with fully dedicated 3D polygonal graphics, 3DS for stereoscopic 3D, and Switch 2 for... raytracing! Could be a real showstopper if done right!
I love it
that would be neat, but probably not, Pilotwings on the Wii wasnt that
Raytracing is not a big enough deal for Nintendo to feature it in such a way. Raytracing is nitty gritty and most people still can't even tell what it is.
@@escargoat8552Ray tracing is a hardcore gimmick. I believe ‘hardcore gimmick’ are things like 4K, 120Hz or ray tracing, most people can’t notice and purely exist to look great on the spec sheet or market the consoles’ technological superiority. ‘Causal gimmick’ are things like touchscreen, Motion Control or the portability of the Switch, they are immediately noticeable in commercials and exist to attract new audiences. Hardcore gimmick is the thing that sells the latest gen PS/Xbox these day but Nintendo are not gonna use them to sell the switch successor.
The existence of modern Flight Simulator makes the idea of a next-gen Pilot wings far less appealing, imo
I hope it's sooner than November. Buying systems during the holidays is so stressful especially nowadays
I really enjoy these longer discussion videos
The “candles for sensor bar” was always a fun trick to shore people back in the Wii era lol. Some techno witchcraft sh**. 😅
I love the idea of some sort of screen mirroring. You can emulate dual screen Wii U on steam deck really well.
If we got that, we could probably bring DS and 3DS emulation to the party as well as Wii U.
The chance to play Xenoblade Chronicles X before the launch of Xenoblade Chronicles Z
Not only that, but it would be amazing if "Download Play" is back, in the form of "Stream Play". If the Switch 2 can handle two outputs at once, giving the option to stream a secondary output on a secondary device for some Mario Kart would be nice.
Just make players turn the switch portrait mode
I think dual screen is a must have because DS is next on the NSO list. You can't just ignore the DS, 3DS and eventually Wii U and just stop at GameCube and Wii.
Basically a step back to the WII U in a way.
Elden Ring on launch as well I reckon.
The return of street pass with new implementations tied to Pokémon go and other new unique features would be smart for them to do
I don't think that anyone would use StreetPass if they bring it back.
@@lol-ih1tl street pass was an active feature and gimmick whether you used it or not it had appeal
@@franktorres2915 even on 3DS, barely anyone even used that feature.
id be so happy if they brought back streetpass ugh
@@lol-ih1tlbruv legit when the 3ds was alive, EVERYONE WAS ON IT. Streetpass was HUGE
Here is another cool idea regarding the hardware possibilities. Today we learned that the switch successor will probably have a large 8 inch display. Imagine if they designed the Dock in a way that doesn't cover up the switches screen while it's in there. People who have their docks besides their TV/Monitor could have an option to display HUD Elements, a Minimap or whatever on the devices screen, allowing the actual game to show off in all it's beauty with minimal HUD elements.
EDIT: not only that, but you could have have some sort of always-on functionality. Image walking into your living room and seeing at a glance all the friends that are online right now on the docked switch screen.
Don't know if you got this idea from them but Arlo has a video talking about his idea for Switch 2 and it is this exact premise
My favorite line is that Jon mentioned how various outlets have been predicting this release since 2020 😂
Splatoon Re-painted: RTX-enhanced remix of the original. Crossplay with Splat 3 DLC
Bring back the clamshell+dual screen design of the DS line (I know they won't)
Gosh I wish! The clamshell design is so nostalgic and would be a throwback to the GBA SP,DS,and 3DS.
if they create a second screen controller, it would theoretically attach on top of the system to create an oversized DS.
Yeah if you make a more powerful switch, IR sensors in the Dock, and a really thin clamshell second screen, that machine would enable a full virtual console library which could be played as they were on their original platforms
Jon, Splatoon absolutely is a system seller
I think we will see Metroid Prime 4 as the big launch title to show off the new cutting edge prowess of the system. The 3D Mario will release between the console launch and the holiday to be the big system seller.
I think Mario Kart might be several months or even a year off. Not because it isn't done, but because they want to sit on the 8D DLC for just a little longer.
Lovely video you guys!
Probably can't be TOO cutting-edge since MP4 will likely be cross-gen. Also, it's unrealistic to expect MP4 to go from Metroid's current sales peak of 3 million to 10+ million, which the Switch 2 would need to help sell systems. Not to mention that Japan doesn't really care about Metroid, so it'd be a huge risk to bet on a franchise that's niche over there.
Agreed, Metroid Prime 4 is guaranteed a launch title, and should happen alongside a Mario 3D title or Mario Kart sequel before holidays
@@bregowine 3D Mario platformers usually come out at the end of their system's first year.
Metroid prime 4 is not a system seller it would have a bad launch if they don’t release another game day 1. Only hardcore Nintendo fans would get it
@@Coplanersirtax9 the other game would be the experimental tech demo game.
Im surprised how often Cyberpunk 2077 gets overlooked when talking about 3rd party games on Switch 2. It is Nvidia's hardware showpiece game, and CD Projekt Red got The Witcher 3 on one Switch game card.
A more capable dock that holds data and can also act as a Wii U is a really neat idea. Imagine connecting multiple switches like Nintendo had previously considered. Maybe even allow old switches to act as controllers for some of the multiple gamepad-like experiences. This is both gimmicky and also Nintendo as all get out which is why that's plausible.
Nintendo Land 2 let's go
As someone who never uses handheld, I was disappointed when they announced the Switch lite and even more when they announced the Oled version, because I would gain nothing as a player from them.
I understand that is a huge selling point, but I just want Nintendo to think a little more about players that do not play the Switch in handheld mode.
Also, FPS > Ray Tracing and resolution.
I love the switch lite, that's what made me get the console as I basically just play on the go. For my needs it works amazing. I still want "the big" switch one day, so I can play on the big screen, but that's in the far future.
I think a new F-Zero would also do a good job of showing off ray tracing and making use of DLSS. Just imagine speeding through Thunder Road or Big Blue at 60 fps.
A switch with the same raw hardware power as the steam deck would run way better than the steam deck since stuff would run natively and be optimized for the hardware instead of having to target a common interface
Things I want:
- 60 fps 1080p standard.
- better quality joycons, possibly with less unnecessary junk thrown into them so the price doesn't increase.
- backward compatability.
- the same or better battery life as the Switch revision.
- new OS with more personality and customization.
- better eshop.
Anything else is a bonus.
Same, although I don't think 60/1080 will be a standard. Maybe for Nintendo games, but there always will be developers that want to push for more in terms of graphics
GameCube did 480p. Switch fidelity is a joke.
it should be 4k60 docked AT LEAST
In no way were Odyssey or TotK held back by the hardware. Nintendo do a great job of designing games well for the hardware they’re on. People are already complaining about PS5 games not being 4K/60fps, it doesn’t mean those games aren’t reaching their potential. A better example on Switch would have been something like Bayonetta 3.
Those kinds of arguements always seemed weird to me because it for the most part only really holds true for 3rd parties that were not developed primarily for switch.
The closest this really gets would be botw and tokt having frame drops on rare occasions (on release) and running at 30 fps, but both of these things arent nearly as bad as theyre made out to be and arent ineherently hardware issues. Especially the 30 fps cap imo since it reinforces that anime style the games are going for, but maybe thats just my inner animation nerd speaking.
Outside of that its really just 3rd parties that are affected, and I'd actually partially chalk that up to what I call "optimization knowledge tax". Which in short just means a lot of bigger developers are ironically "forgetting" how to optimize well or not learning proper optimization because hardware specs are getting so advanced that they effectively don't really need to if they develop for say, the PS5.
I actually don't care about ray tracing or whatever, to be completely honest. It's such a side thing to me. I'd much rather have instantaneous loading times or things like that
Prime 4 is ABSOLUTELY being held for launch of the next system. BOTW is a great game on its on, but its exposure was increased exponentially by being available at launch for Switch. Metroid could use that same bump off the Switch 2 and make it a much more popular franchise.
The problems are that...
1. Metroid is MUCH farther from 10 million than Zelda was prior to BotW. So at best, MP4 could sell 4-5 million units as a launch (window) title for the Switch 2.
2. Metroid is pretty damn niche in Japan, so making MP4 your main launch title risks alienating Nintendo's domestic market.
@@Neoxon619 People had similar expectations about the original Metroid Prime when it first came out by doubting that it would sell well on a system with less than half of SNES' install base but Metroid Prime 1 ended up outselling Metroid and Super Metroid.
I think they would be making a huge mistake putting all their eggs into one basket with metroid prime 4. The game is much more niche than zelda even being a third person shooter. It’s way too risky when they could just release a new 3d mario game that we’ve been waiting 6 years for
@@Coplanersirtax9 I doubt 3D Mario would be available at launch. 3D Mario will come out at the end of the system's first year
@@lol-ih1tl What do you think the 3d mario team has been doing for 6 years? They definitely are already done with development or close to it. It should be ready at launch, methroid prime 4 just won't cut it by itself
“Now it feels like it *is* on the way,” I remember people saying that, then the Switch OLED was announced…
I have been saying it for a few years now, but we need an Inti-Creates Metroidvania remake of Zelda 2!
I think FF7 remake is going to be a year 1 switch 2 game
No way Jose
I def think Prime 4 will be the Switch 2 showpiece game. People saying that PS4 is outdated but imagine Prime 4 being on the same level of something like Tlou2/Horizon/GoW.
That and the Xenoblade X remake
What a weird glitch in the Matrix. I just listened to an old MinnMax podcast where they mentioned Wave Race and now you guys mentioned it too. I hadn’t heard a reference to that in forever either!
I'm calling it now, the first release for this new console is going to be metroid prime 4 looking absolutely gorgeous
ADAPTIVE TRIGGERS AND AN OLED SCREEN IS ALL IT NEEDS.
The screen will be LCD. 8 inch.
Scroll wheel triggers. Make sakuria happy
an OLED model would release a couple of years later
@@SevoraLFThats stupid
I suspect we'll see HD-2D Chrono Trigger at launch or soon after, and also demand that.
Xeno X not only HAD multiplayer but it was GOOD. Yeah, on the Wii U. But yeah, just hand me Xenoblade Chronicles Z right now
Can’t wait for the sequel to be called Xenoblade XI
@@totalradlad lmao
Holy crap what’s with all the porn bots in the comments, I get enough of that on Twitter
Imagine if you had Metroid Prime 4 Nintendo switch running at 1080p and then you had Metroid Prime 4 on the switch 2 with ray tracing and running in 4k resolution.
Playing Future Redeemed rn and can’t help but think of how good a switch 2 version of Xenoblade 3 would be
The Switch 2 won't be as capable as an Xbox Series S. The technology that is rumoured to be in the Switch comes from around the same time as PS5/Xbox Series, and it is limited in power available when compared to the consoles plugged into the wall.
It will be comparable to the Steam Deck probably, with more efficiency because of the rumoured lower manufacturing node, but I assume it'll be used for improved battery life rather than overclocking the SoC further.
I wouldn't hold my breath on Baldur's Gate 3 either, as it's very heavy on the CPU, and I can't see the Switch CPU being as capable as the minimum specs of the PC version.
I dont think it would be wise for nintendo to have the dock give the switch additional features. It would add cost to the product and would end up confusing customers.
I mean, you say that you don't wanna launch your console with a remaster but... You know... Mario Kart 8 Deluxe...?
At least one of this needs to be one of the new "Switch 2" Release games
- New mario kart
- New mario 3d game
- New metroid prime
( I personally want the a new mario kart the most)
The swiss-army-con could work with 3DS style circle pads rather than protruding joysticks so that it could fit inside and be hidden while overlapped.
I personally think the idea of the Switch successor finally coming full circle and having a dock that processed information and allowed the Switch to be the Wii U gamepad, could bring DS, 3DS and Wii U games up to date in a way modern tech could finally realise in ways the Wii U struggled to achieve.
Also 100% behind Wave Race, F-Zero and 1080 Snowboarding being revived properly. Why Wave Race didn't throttle with Wiimotes after Resort did it, I really don't know.
Fix the joycon drift, bump the horsepower up to ps4 levels, make the screen resolution 1080p, make sure it’s backwards compatible and call it a day
Joy-Con drift will still exist because drift exists on every controller with analog sticks.
@@lol-ih1tl its not about drift existing at all, its about how quickly and consistently it happens.
I know 3 separate people who in total have had like 7 joycons begin drifting over the years.
Compare that to plenty of other controllers that can last way longer before drifting and even then aren't consistent in if they even are going to run into that issue and its not even close.
Hell, the switch pro controller seems to be working out just fine for people even after years.
it’s insane to me that people are only asking for xbone/ps4 performance. those consoles are over 10 years old now. at least let it be a 1440p system
@@rusty31 there needs to be a perfect balance between price, power and battery life. So, PS4/Xbox One level specs are good enough for a Switch successor.
@@rusty31if we get DLSS, since it can turn a 1440p console into 4K, I believe it will turn a 1080p console into 1440p but not 4K.
Didn't really think about it until now but Joycons are cooler in theory than in practice. Like, when do you really want to play with a single joycon? Virtually never (SMP made good use of it, but still).
Consider that you're likely an extreme outlier.
Kids, casuals, and even most core gamers - i.e., the vast majority of Nintendos customers find the idea of not having to buy an extra controller for a sibling or a guest to join in very appealing
I think one approach they could go for regarding the single joycon multiplayer issue would be to make the wriststrap thingies more of a "sleeve" so to speak that you sorta slot the joycon into. Think similarly to the circle pad pro accessory the 3ds had, except there's one for each joycon.
This way you'd not only be able to provide things like a second analog stick for multiplayer more elegantly, you would also make the joycon in general a bit better to use for people with bigger hands without bulking up the size of the joycon themselves.
Another idea: Since "Swiss army knife joycon" and "modular joycon" on their own have a bunch of problems, if we combine these ideas with my wriststrap thingie idea both concepts could actually make for something pretty interesting as a whole.
Alright so bear with me this is gonna take some explaining.
We take the base concept of the "stick sleeves" as i'll call them, but that second analog stick is sort of tucked away inside. You slide open the "lid" covering it, and push it up out of the compartment from below, clicking it firmly into place. From there you can use it as a regular old analog, and should you no longer need it, you just push a little button from below the now elevated stick to unlock it, and it can slide back inside the compartment. This way the stick wouldn't be in the way for solo play, and there arent a bunch of tiny pieces youd have to carry with you.
If you wanna go a step further in making things a bit more convenient in terms of how many individual things you carry around, you could adjust that pseudo pro controller grip thing to hold both joycon regardless of whether or not the "stick sleeves" are attached, effectively turning it into a single controller unit, that can be taken apart into smaller controllers.
So if you wanna play a game with someone on the go you just take out both joycon for the game, and then put everything back together afterwards.
There's going to be a ton of components into the controller itself just so it doesn't end up jammed or the plastic snaps and completely breaks both the attached grips, modules, etc. If they end up going down this route, Nintendo's going to have to do a ton of experimenting to get it just right. Otherwise, they should just package the console with four different bundles. One controller, One console, and One free game, Two controllers, one console, one free game, Three controllers, one console, two free games, and four controller, two console, and two free games included in the boxes (each separately prices and such). This way for those who buy the four controller bundle has the two switch 2 consoles, cables (a 10 foot HDMI cord), a 10 foot power cord (USB Powered/Two Prong universal power cord), Four controllers (With the Joycons attached to the console as two extra controllers), and two free games to play on your two new consoles (which the two games can be the two same copies, all for under $300.00 and such, while the one controller, one console, one free game can be priced near $200.00 at best).
A hypothetical Xenoblade Warriors could fit the same niche that Fire Emblem Warriors did in the first year of the Switch's lifespan.
The best part is due to how Xenoblade's story is it can be directly connected to most recent game like last few Nintendo Warriors games (Age of Calamity and Three Hopes) have been and still be a crossover with all of the mainline games like how the earlier Nintendo Warriors games (the original Hyrule Warriors and Fire Emblem Warriors) where because Xenoblade 3 itself is already a canonical sequel to both Xenoblade 1 and 2 and already has a few returning characters from those games in it. They can bring even more characters back to fill out the roster while still primarily focusing on the setting of Xenoblade 3. It would be the best of both worlds with how Nintendo does their Warriors games, the only downside is that sadly Xenoblade X most likely won't be included if that's the case.
Metroid Prime 4 with physically based materials and RT GI and reflections. Bam.
I think cameras make a return from 3DS and Wii U. More processing power also means that meaningful AR gameplay is a possibility, plus Nintendo already does AR with Pikmin Bloom and Pokemon Go. They can extend AR functionality into "real" console games.
The switch 2 can have built in flamethrowers for all I care
But if it doesn’t have 1080p clip captures? I ain’t buying.
Backwards compatible please!! With that some basic improvements to current games, improved TotK frame rate
Considering how we just got mariokart dlc, i expect a new mariokart to come at least one year later
Highly doubt they haven’t been working on mario kart for the past 10 years. The dlc doesn’t take the whole development team, so I think it’s reasonable to say something new could come out within the first few months
I’m calling it now, announcement in late march early April and it will launch in August or September of this year!
I would love to see Nintendo get rid of the os-level auto-recalibration that is applied to gyro as it tends to cause drift then prevents it because it considers subtle adjustments you make as drift causing the camera to recenter. Maybe also a secondary gyroscope to counterbalance any potential drift by having a second reference point akin to the alpakka controller.
before watching the video i wanted to comment my speculation first:
i think Switch 2 will be a dual screen hybrid console, and that it will have at least a 16 year plan for Nintendo. with the goal that it will be able to play the entire company's video game library from every generation both portable and home console. the top screen can be docked and the bottom screen can be utilized to work with 3DS/WiiU games, but also developers have the option for dual screen mode with new games but isn't necessary.
Although I would prefer a Magnetic setup for joycons It would be a problem keeping the joycons on the system itself. The railings keep the system from falling off the controllers. Also I imagine they would want the old joycons to work on the new system at least for BC
I just really want backwards compatibility. I’d be pretty pissed if that didn’t happen but I feel like it’s likely.
Ocarina of Time Remake for Switch successor in a year or two, calling it now.
As someone else said, launching with a remake or remaster was perfectly fine for Switch with Mario Kart Deluxe being a month after release or so. I think Xenoblade X would be a great game to bring over given how little it was played on Wii U and how visually noteworthy it was even back then. Imagine how it could look with a Xenoblade 1 style remastering with greater visuals and power than the Switch could produce!
According to Zippo that is exactly what is happening
If they finish the ballon trilogy that’s a day one preorder
I can't believe Jon died at the end.
Imagine having both Metroid Prime 4 and Super Mario as Switch 2 launch titles. 🎉🤯🎉
Trying to think of ways to explain dlss to people who don't have hardware knowledge because it's been butchered everywhere I look.
Dlss is not a secret sauce. It takes a massive amount of power to perform, and that power comes from specially dedicated hardware only modern Nvidia gpu's have.
When you turn on dlss, it is run on a different set of processors from your gpu's main processors, or shaders, called tensor cores.
That's a good streamlined way to think of it. Modern Nvidia gpu's are composed of 3 main processor parts.
1. Main shaders. This is the ONLY part the ps4 gpu, and well ps5 and Xbone and series gpu's have. Traditionally renders 3d graphics.
2. Ray Trace cores. This "second GPU" has a performance that is twice as high as the main shaders on ampere. They all have the same parts ratio, so no matter how big or small the rtx ampere gpu, it's always 2x the main shaders. These are specialized processors that ONLY handle calculations related to ray tracing. Bvh generation, bvh traversal, triangle ray intersect and interpolation. Denoising is not handled here.
3. Tensor cores. This "Third GPU" handles several tasks, though I'll only talk about two. Mixed precision support. Ampere Tensor cores can handle fp16, int8, and int4 data types, so the main shaders don't have to waste fp32 perfomance on operations that don't need full precision. Ps4 can't do it at all, and rdna (ps5/series) has to burn a fp32 register to get 2 fp16 ops.
Then there is the tensor cores namesake, tensor operations. Tensor cores can hardware accelerate tensor ops up to 32x what the main shaders can do them at. For FP16, it's 8x, so a 3 tflop docked switch, would have 24 sparse tensor tflops fp16 for ML compute on trained ai models. This is where the power to perform dlss comes from.
HD Texture Packs for games on NSO would be incredibly exciting tbh
Love these discussions
They should launch the console with a traditional dock to keep the cost of the console low. But then have the option for people to buy an upgraded dock with extra power and storage capacities
i think Nintendo just doesnt want to deal with voice chat, at least natively on the system, why? just open a CoD lobby and hear all the civilized conversations that happen on a regular basis.
Actually i think that Nintendo will implement a foldeable second screen, then they will be able to remaster/remake tons of DS/3DS titles, and improve the portable mode further, then you fold the second screen to play docked.
if nintendo implements DLSS, its going to be at best the 3.0 version, Nintendo is not gonna utilize a new generation of Nvidia GPUs cause they would increase the cost of the console too much, and i think Nintendo is gonna aim at 300 dollars, 350 tops.
I love that I can't tell if Jon's suggestions are him trolling or not.
"So, are these genuine ideas or are you just pulling our legs?"
"Yesn't."
Pie in the sky predition: Switch 2 comes out in July. Get the stock issues out of the way before the holiday season.
The person that has SteveB as a Wii U username is going to be super confused with the influx of friend requests
I know it won't happen but if Xenoblade X remaster/remake drops with full co op in the entire game. I'm actually gonna explode. That would be my dream game
Launch with Metroid and Mario Kart in September, then the new 3D Mario in November for the holidays. Then near the start of 2025, Wind Waker and TP UHD. Easy.
Oh and a Mario Party within a year, even just another Mario Party Superstars with gamecube boards (I'd much rather a new one though).
The Switch 2 should just be a smartphone!
Yeah, I just don’t see them making a dock that would boost the performance of the Switch 2. A PS4 lvl Switch 2 is going to cost likely 400 dollars alone. A GPU dock would put the price well over 600 dollars.
Having a hard drive in the dock would mean you couldn’t actually ‘switch’ for any games which were stored on the hard drive and thus remove a big usp of the Switch.
oh wow this was before the legends z-a announcement.
Jon I have a very personal off topic question. Is voicing a character in Doctor Who or Bluey higher on your bucket list right now?
Not Australian enough for Bluey so let's go Doctor Who
Jon would make a good voice actor I can see him voice acting a videogame character to.
The Switch 2 needs an NVME slot. SD Card just doesn't cut it anymore because of read speed.
Glad Steve mentioned it, I've been saying for ages that Pokemon needs to have a word with Monolith Soft
I’m glad y’all have started making trilingual videos; everyone was speaking everyone’s language!
Honestly, I'm not expecting it to be as big a jump as most think. Maybe not even PS4 base levels.
But that means if it is a big jump, I get to be pleasantly surprised!
Not to be nasty but if you think it’s not even going to be base PS4 levels you’re insane
@@connor9568yeah, that would be barely a jump at all. It being in competition with and constantly compared to consoles that are both more expensive and recent makes people seriously underestimate the Switch’s power.
@@dafinition Exactly, people think for some reason that the Switch is only as powerful as 360 and PS3 when it is actually a lot more capable.
@@connor9568 Maybe I'm just being overly pessimistic because I'm used to people over shooting when they are predicting power. And I'd rather be pleasantly surprised than disappointed. :)
@@broshi1752 People are over optimistic you’re right about that I just don’t see Nintendo releasing a console in 2024/2025 less powerful than a 2013 console that was weak at launch
And then they announced pink joy cons
I agree with the dock having a little chip in it that boosts power in docked mode, I could totally see that being a big feature
No Kid Icarus Uprising with Ray Tracing and DLSS?
I really hope they take a risk and make Metroid Prime 4 it's big game to showcase in whatever year the Switch 2 comes out and hopefully also pays off and Metroid becomes a flagship franchise for Nintendo. Even if the probability of them doing that is not that high, one can dream
PSO was mentioned. That means I automatically have to like the video.
They actually released patents and had interviews in which they said they want to innovate the controller and thats been in my head since. It would be so cool to have a truly innovative controller
As magic as the streaming of the Wii U screen was, it took up an entire band of RF which frankly is needed for other things. Also the signal and channel width requirements to transmit that fidelity at that latency is not going to improve so that range issue would continue to be a problem.
Would love an option where if you have it docked, there’s a boost mode with a sort of external hardware to get it to 4k , and if undocked it has a longer battery.
My only beef with these ideas are with the fact that the system is primarily meant for kids. A 500 dollar system that can be lost in school is not good. Different from a hobbyist who can tweak a steam deck. This thing could be at the beach or pool. It could be in a house with tile flooring. It could go on traveling trips like flights. It’s nearly small enough to fit in pocket. I don’t want it to get super expensive.
Yeah I feel the same way. Literally every one of these predictions is the same lmao. And I’m finally expecting the Switch 2 to be as powerful as a double tin can lmao.
agreed. I'm just hoping for larger memory capacity, battery life and maybe bigger screen (this one especially for a lite version of the new switch) and backwards compatibility. A new gimmick could be an extra to the console, such as vr games or something.
Wireless docking for dual-screen gaming in reverse compared to the Wii U doesn't necessarily have to be too 'cumbersome.' The only issue I can see is when you're running low on power on the main console tablet unit.
---
Given how Nintendo's said and mostly demonstrated that they typically don't end up using concepts that they patent, particularly when that patent has seen release before a product (or game) release, I would be (quite pleasantly surprised if they returned to the (very cool) idea of a Supplemental Computing Device in the Switch 2's dock instead of just having the console hike its processor clock speed when on wall power. We'll have to wait and see, I guess?
---
You know what _other_ Nintendo series hasn't had an entry since the GameCube? 1080°. (Honestly, the two are kind of siblings in a way, both being seasonal sports/racing titles. There's even been character crossover before.)
---
…Pokémon is still dead to me until Game Freak fixes the Exp. Share.
---
Would gravitometers help to prevent motion control sensor drift in the Swotch 2's Joy-Cons? I'd assume so, at least some.

I've always thought that _Mario vs. Donkey Kong_ should have walked for a graphical update until NSO game releases could have them as toggleable modes while still keeping the original graphics intact for the other mode. It didn't need a new release. I'm just going to stick with the 3DS Ambassador Program GBA Virtual Console release of the game.
Switch 2 will have a camera and a microphone - going full 3ds gimmicks on this thing
Pikmin 5 with Ray tracing 😱
I was talking about this stuff with co-workers a couple days ago and said they need to up the usability of the dock and could in a couple of ways. Being the second screen was an obvious one. But than I pitched that it should be able to access cloud-based titles when the handheld is away. We had pretty unanimous agreement about that.
But I want to go one step further in regards to Second Screen. They need to revive the asymmetrical gameplay gameplay of the Wii U, but with multiple handhelds able to link to a single dock, including Lite units. This would be an incredible way to move Nintendo forward.
My Breath of the Wild had the only moment where frames dropped in the Korok Forest. I don't know what they are talking about the performance of that game.
Also Tears of the Kingdom runs so much smoother? Is it my switch?
Really hoping we get a hardware announcement soon. I've been falling out of love with my switch heavily in the last year. Its been a long while since I had what felt like a magical moment on switch.
My steam deck has made my Switch gather dust. Even just a brief mention that it's coming this year will keep me going.
I think my problem with the idea of having the sensor bar built into the dock is, I'm looking at my TV setup and I can't picture any good place where I could put the dock for that, not without it blocking the TV. The great thing about the Wii/Wii U sensor bar was it was just this little thing you put below the TV and then you could point your Wii Remote at the screen. The dock with system inside is just too big for that.
I wish all who played only a little Xenoblade X, with concerns on the art, please play past Chapter 4. Everything will make sense. You’ll find out that it has some of the most wild and awesome sci-fi plots and why fans of it really consider it one of the best. Prepare to look at things differently, more than once.
Also, the Nintendo Online phone App did get continual support, but for only certain game titles. Stardew Valley added in support, later. And the big ones are Animal Crossing and Splatoon having continual major support, by the app, to this day. It just didn’t become a thing where a bunch of games would keep adding onto it. That didn’t happen.
All that matters is that they bring back the Wii U web browser with the curtains. I miss calling people into the room and revealing Tubgirl.
