Ok? So what? I have enough money to buy it no matter what the price is, I don't care if I pay double or triple. Why should I care about scalpers, that is Nintendo's problem.
I’ll have to say BestBuy did it right for the first Switch. You HAD to pick it up if you pre ordered it. That cuts down on a huge amount of bots. They should enforce this rule worldwide. Pre order, but have to pick up in person and only one per a person. That would be awesome.
Nintendo makes the Game Boy. Commercial success Nintendo makes a slimmer Game Boy with a colour screen. Commercial success Nintendo makes a Game Boy with a backlit screen and rechargeable battery. Commercial success Nintendo makes a _Game Boy_ with two screens. Commercial success Nintendo makes a _Game Boy_ with 3D effects.

Commercial Success Nintendo is about to make a better _Game Boy_ and people are freaking out...because reasons??? I, for one, am very excited for the Switch 2
Nintendo should make preorders available direct from them for their online subscribers, ordered by how long the person has been a subscriber, one per subscriber. That way, at least Nintendo's most loyal customers will not have a problem getting the system quickly and for the MSRP. It would also incentivize others to sign up for their online service.
Nintendo gets fun right more often than most. The system just needs a good price. If it’s backwards compatible and has a good launch title, Mario Kart is the rumor, it’ll sell great. That launch title has to have longevity offline and online. In this economy Nintendo can’t screw this up.
Bro Mario kart is not “the rumor” it’s confirmed it’s going to launch with the switch 2 watch the reveal trailer a whole new Mario kart is shown off. And also near the end of the trailer it shows it’s going to be backwards compatible 😭 idk why you’re saying it like it MIGHT happen when it is. Not hating just the way your wording things is funny.
@@z-amation1002 I’m finding out about all this today, it’s all been a rumor until a little bit ago for me. But seriously with how things have played out in the past regardless of whatever’s been confirmed, until it’s in our hands, things can change. Switch 2 before GTA6.
@@alventuradelacruz522 I have the original switch so the oled isn’t too big for me as I haven’t played on it. I’m also hoping for a max $450 with a bundle. It would help a lot if the older joycons also work with the new system. Save people some cash on picking up an extra pair on launch. Can have immediate party play. In my ideal scenario Nintendo goes a little bit harder on the performance and not so subtly hints to people to invest in none too expensive power bank. Ankers are cheap. I wouldn’t mind the power hit if it made the performance better. But Nintendo can do a lot with what little they put in.
I expect a massive shortage issue. If a third of Switch owners want to upgrade (a conservative estimate) coupled with scalpers, not to mention gift buyers, 20 million units won’t be nearly enough.
Even though I was expecting a March reveal, I’m glad that all the B.S. rumours have slowed right down. The reveal trailer was great, no cheesy rubbish, like bad fake actors and crappy music… just straight to the point with an original music score… best reveal from Nintendo!
The Switch 2 had already been leaked before their quick reveal and more was probably on the way so I could see Nintendo wanting to just announce the thing officially. I am fine with the shorter teaser with more coming later, although I think Nintendo could have given a bit more info for the console.
Have a great Monday sunbro, may get the switch 2 in December next year for my birthday. By the way I love hearing castlevania playing in the background was so good, one of my favorite themes from the series.
I wish they either had this reveal earlier to prevent leaks, or we had info outside of the leaks. Sure we got mario kart, which every reaction I saw the initial response was that it wasn't clear it's next gen. But they could have shown the os or some additional features like voice chat or chat in general that would've been nice even just a glimpse.
I am of the same mentality, Nintendo isn't at fault for the leaks but they definitely opened up the doors for others to leak everything by being so passive about everything and internally delaying the reveal for so long! And even during the reveal trailer they didn't prepare anything for those who knew about the leaks to get hyped about, it's all stuff we already knew! They should have made the reveal back in November with a second half of 2025 release date, cut off the Switch 1 prices for the holidays and dripped small bits of information about the console once every month after the reveal until the April Direct, where they go into more details about the pieces of information they dropped and start showcasing the games.
Kind of makes sense to get the scalpers and die hard gamers a system for the summer…kids in summer vacay etc. but then allow stock to fill u[ in time for winter holidays.
I'll see what launch bundles look like after their April direct and the launch lineup in general... but I'm gonna squeeze in around Aug/Sept. I'll just use the holiday season for games/downloads.
And what if, the April presentation is actually them announcing that their previous announcement is an April fool’s. That it was a prototype and now they are unveiling the real switch 2.
That is very, *very* unlikely, but I would absolutely love that. It would be hilarious as well as exciting after all the hopes, speculations and analytics, they just unveil something radically different.
That would be hilarious, all this info is all fake and it's a completely different idea that Noone is thinking of....ahhh wouldn't that be nice. I highly doubt it but it would go down in history as the biggest console fakey ever.
We should be good. The switch was a new and exciting concept, so many likely rushed to buy it. The switch 2 I think will still sell well, but people wont be rushing to stores as much as last time
Don't worry about day one. it'll be a year before you see original or remastered games that take advantage of the Switch 2 power; plus it's now huge which makes it tricky for their target audience. So, look for a year one purchase.
I have to thank you, number one. You're the first person that my wife and I look at when Nintendo news comes up. Love to have information and how I can get my switch to pre-order etc. I remember when wii came out, And Sony had to delay, And then when wii u came out there a scalpers everywhere I had no problem picking up two switches one for myself and my wife. So, just wondering how I can do this without someone scalping out on me. Thank you for any advice you may have. Love your show
Thanks so much for your kind words! I’ll be making a preorder focused video soon with all of the tips I know of. I’m not expecting Nintendo to start preorders until the April 2nd direct happens, so hopefully within the next week or so, I’ll have the preorder video live on the channel.
Those wanting 4k/dlss games then yeah they will get it. But the price will also get those that want it otherwise those will be later buyers will get it as it comes out.
I think it depends on on how much more power we get and if the starting line up for the year is going to be any good and if they are going to be switch 2 exclusive
scalping is an essential data goldmine for companies. It gives them data to better project demand and what to do to infuse the market with more product, or to approach the problem in a different way. Besides, regardless of what goes on, I am still going to buy 4, and I will resell 3 and whatever profit I will make I will dump into eshop credit soon after.
I would bet against it. I think April 2 will be their big blowout day to reveal everything, and it will be radio silence until then regarding the Switch 2. I think their hand was forced regarding showing the hardware due to all of the hardware leaks that were happening. I don't think that recent Switch 2 reveal video was something Nintendo wanted to do.
Following the general timeline of when they released videos for the original switch is fine. The problem is the first look video they just released for switch 2 wasn’t similar to the first look video we got for switch 1. That trailer at least showed off multiple features and like 6 or 7 games. Compared to that we basically got a 2 minute hardware trailer for stuff we already knew. I think that’s what’s bugging people
im wondering why this issue even is a problem at all why not just have a 1-2month period where anyone who has had a account 6+ months gets sent a code where you can purchase 1. This will ensure the people that want one get one scalpers will have to go through extra steps, fuck em.
Hey, Sunbro.. All I know is that I can't wait for the April 2nd direct!!! I want to know more about Switch 2! F all the haters who don't know anything about videogame console! All they know is just bashing out what they can't see and can't have from Nintendo Switch 2!
I wish there was a way to customize the joycons with longer joysticks for if i want to play a FPS. Although the motion controls werent to bad for aiming.
The people complaining about the reveal either didnt know or didnt pay attentione when Nintendo tlsaid this was a hardwatre reveal only...basically telling us they were keeping it simple, likely just to shut up all the rumours
With people talking about the Mario kart characters and how different donkey Kong looks, I feel like they are taking an idea from smash bros. The different character versions or outfits. Like you pick donkey Kong you have a choice of movie or a different one etc
As I see it, Nintendo waited too long to post the reveal trailer, so anyone saying it should have been revealed later don't seem to understand what they were dealing with. The writing was on the wall when genki basically leaked everything at the beginning of the year at CES, something we all knew they were going to do because they basically told us that was exactly what they planned to do beforehand. It sucks we have to wait so long for the April 2 Direct (which I actually took as a release date, not an announcement date originally so my anxiousness is peaked) but there would be no sense in delaying the reveal when everyone was basically forcing them to finally announce the thing we already knew was coming.
I'd be pre ordering mine, i have the old switch all the ohter switch like the oled and the ohters werent not such a huge upgrade, but switch 2 its a better upgrade + a lot better. i'll picking it up on the day it release.
They launched the trailer because of the leaks, which put them at risks of wild speculation taking over. In essence, the more leaks/confirmation of leaks came out, the more non-true rumours would have space to grow (especially when the leaks were so heavily publicized). With hype feverishly pitched and everything known, their hand was forced. Technically they may still have a card up their sleeve with the c button, but they squashed the hype train with an official announcement which prevents highly speculative rumours from being taken too seriously.
Bro., you're keeping me sane. It's insane that Nintendo is putting on its self-induced gag order during all these industry leaks. I'm trying to think of any popular product launch in recent history that's been this leaked.
Why was March 3rd way earlier in the year than the switch 2 will release? Isn’t it rumored to be released in May or June? That’s in my 2-3 months later
It’s Nintendo. There’s always stock issues. It took me eight months to get the original switch. Like Apple, they deliberately don’t make enough to drive demand.
I think its going to be hard to find, I remember the Wii being hard to find for months, I like how it looks can't wait to find out how much it will cost.
I don’t like the strategy at all, but I agree that they are mostly trying to recreate what they did with the OG Switch. Not sure they care at all about the 3rd party announcements, though.
People should know by now that Nintendo won't live up to people's standards: they will build their own. And lately they have a tendency of holding onto their secrets very "tightly", and then leave us one or two crumbs to theorize around for some time until they actually talk to us. They like to tease. They like to play. They know how much we can wait, and just how much to reveal.
I think the reveal trailer was adequate for conveying the what the system is, and was well presented to a degree. I just wish what the C Button is used for but hey that is me nitpicking.
I really hope the Nintendo Switch 2 comes in different colors… because I dislike the color scheme they came up with for the first release of the console 😔 Nintendo is supposed to be fun and playful not dark and serious. 😕
They probably will, quite possibly after the initial wave of Day 1 consoles. If nothing else, we may eventually get ones themed after specific 1st-party series like Mario and/or Zelda.
Nintendo should make a preorder available for their Nintendo Online subscribers. One per subscription and in order of how long the subscription has been active. This would allow the most ardent Nintendo customers to get their system right away and for MSRP, and it would greatly deflate the scalpers since those customers are the ones most likely to pay extra to get the Switch 2 quickly. This would also be another incentive for people to sign up for NSO.
What's your thoughts on the c button just being a 2nd capture button on the other joy con now that thers more chance of playing 2 player now its got bigger side buttons
The switch is basically the perfect console, it just had lots of problems, like a bad online service, some bad performance, bad quality joycons etc. all these things are fixable with the switch 2
After PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC Nintendo Switch 2 will start a new Generation of gaming and Mario Kart 9 will be the best racing game for a while: Here we goo wahoo! 🎉😊
The scalpers made me wait for PS5 for five years , hopefully I can get a Switch 2 day one if I choose too. At least with wait for PS5 stock I got the PS5 Slim for Christmas.
Where's your hype level for Switch 2? Also, please hit the like button before you leave! :)

Depends on the specs and what games we get first i might preorder it. The battery better be good and minimum 2 times more storage.

There's no way I'm going to be able to get a Switch 2 on launch day.
These things are gonna sell like sloppy joes at a fat club.
Just have enhanced backwards compatibility. Please Nintendo.
The only thing I’m worried bout is if it is bad with fps games like the one we have now
It’s Nintendo. There’s always stock issues. It took me eight months to get the original switch. Like Apple, they deliberately don’t make enough to drive demand.
good thing its coming in june since me and my sisters birthday is in that month
Happy Martin Luther King Jr. day everyone
The goat 🎉
What is the song/remix in this video?
It is not from fire emblem. Divine bloodlines castlevania Dracula x
@ ohh right I recognize it from the Netflix castlevania anime. Sounds similar to Lost in Thoughts from FE though. Thanks!
people are hating on the switch 2, lets keep it that way so that less people want to buy it on launch.
why do scalpers have to ruin everything
I'm going to wait until the first bundle
I think its going to be hard to find, I remember the Wii being hard to find for months, I like how it looks can't wait to find out how much it will cost.
I want to get it on release but idk if they’re gonna drop a better switch 2 later on for cash grab
I don’t like the strategy at all, but I agree that they are mostly trying to recreate what they did with the OG Switch. Not sure they care at all about the 3rd party announcements, though.
People should know by now that Nintendo won't live up to people's standards: they will build their own. And lately they have a tendency of holding onto their secrets very "tightly", and then leave us one or two crumbs to theorize around for some time until they actually talk to us.
They like to tease. They like to play. They know how much we can wait, and just how much to reveal.
I think 20mil is NOTHING and will barely cover the streamers
20 million units in 9 months is not nothing lol. It would be the biggest console launch ever.
I think the reveal trailer was adequate for conveying the what the system is, and was well presented to a degree. I just wish what the C Button is used for but hey that is me nitpicking.
i hope there are more options than "boring black" color... i mean, look around and tell me how many electronics around you are just that color
Only 1... Well I am taking a dump so... You probably have a point 😁
I really hope the Nintendo Switch 2 comes in different colors… because I dislike the color scheme they came up with for the first release of the console 😔 Nintendo is supposed to be fun and playful not dark and serious. 😕
They probably will, quite possibly after the initial wave of Day 1 consoles. If nothing else, we may eventually get ones themed after specific 1st-party series like Mario and/or Zelda.
@ 😄thanks for the response,that would be really cool if they do so.
kinda wish they have more color options
Nintendo published the Switch 2 this January because of the upcoming investor meeting in February, so they wouldn't get asked about it.
I’ll probably have to wait 2 years for supply to catch up to all of the scalpers
Nintendo should make a preorder available for their Nintendo Online subscribers. One per subscription and in order of how long the subscription has been active.
This would allow the most ardent Nintendo customers to get their system right away and for MSRP, and it would greatly deflate the scalpers since those customers are the ones most likely to pay extra to get the Switch 2 quickly.
This would also be another incentive for people to sign up for NSO.
If the switch 2 is gonna play AAA Games Like Call Of Duty And Others Then I Truley Am Buying It
What's your thoughts on the c button just being a 2nd capture button on the other joy con now that thers more chance of playing 2 player now its got bigger side buttons
The biggest way to deal with scalpers is not to be an idiot and buy from them? Or am I missing something?
I think the higher production numbers are guilty of the leaks, because Nintendo had to start production earlier.
Agreed
Switch 2 will break all records🎉
The switch is basically the perfect console, it just had lots of problems, like a bad online service, some bad performance, bad quality joycons etc. all these things are fixable with the switch 2
Idc about day one. Unless they came out with some super exclusive like chroncles X2 or something epic
That's what I'm doing. When I see Xenoblade X2, I'm bing chilling.
Christmas has passed i doubt there will be heavy buying especially when some were underwhelmed by it
Umm they talking next Christmas not the one that passed
Nice Dracula X background music.
20M in first YEAR, not on the first day.
That means unless they have a HUGE amount day one, it will be scalper city for months...
If the games are like 60 dollars Ill stick to a Rog Ally which will probably still be more powerful and Steam got deals
After PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC Nintendo Switch 2 will start a new Generation of gaming and Mario Kart 9 will be the best racing game for a while: Here we goo wahoo! 🎉😊
The scalpers made me wait for PS5 for five years , hopefully I can get a Switch 2 day one if I choose too. At least with wait for PS5 stock I got the PS5 Slim for Christmas.
