    My lovable furry blue brother in Christ, we’ve been getting remasters on Switch because no one bought the Wii U so the majority of people never played those games. We’ve gotten remakes lately because the main teams are working on switch 2 games. They’re not selling a new console with games everyone already has access to.

      Yeah I don't know why he doesn't realize this at all.

      I could see them selling an upgrade patch from Switch 1 version to Switch 2 version at $15 (let's say) and the Switch 2 version by itself at the usual retail price. So Mario Odyssey upgrade patch would be $15 if you already had Odyssey but if you didn't own Odyssey at all you could get Odyssey + upgrade at $60.

    • @Nintenguy128
      @Nintenguy128 16 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +9

      Exactly.
      There was no backwards compatibility either so it was totally understandable (and good) that the best Wii U games got second chances on Switch and sold better than they did on the Wii U.
      Switch on the other hand while the console and the games are peak, no one is gonna buy rereleases of Switch games that aren't even a decade old let alone 5 years old yet, and backwards compatibility is already confirmed for the thing and Nintendo knows that consumers can simply just pop in their copies of Switch 1 games on Switch 2 and just play them from there.
      The fact that Arlo genuinely believes that'll happen is ludicrous and braindead.

      It should be also mentioned that while it is the same team, it has expanded so much (as evident by the credits of Splatoon 2, ACNH, and Splatoon 3), that its effectively two teams that are able to work on two different projects at the same time.
      Besides that, it has been rumoured due to a datamine that Splatoon 4 (or at the very least, a Splatoon-related project) has begun development no later than July of 2024. Considering it took them a year and three quarters or so to develop Splatoon 3 during the Covid pandemic, we might see Splatoon 4 as an end-of-year title for 2025. While not as popular in the West, the Splatoon franchise is an enormous hit in Japan and I could go on and on providing sources and proof as to why that's the case but the point is - if we go with Arlo's prediction for a new 3D Mario being the end-of-year title, it'll be such for the west, meanwhile Splatoon 4 will be the end-of-year title for the east.

Everyone thinks it's a remaster. But then, it pans down to the cliff where Link walks out in the beginning of Breath of the Wild. But Link doesn't walk out... Kirby does. He turns around and looks at the camera and says "Hiiiiii~!" Cut to black.

      I think you’re 100% right that scaling back is what a lot of long-time AC fans want. But as someone who watched an embarrassingly large number of videos by AC newbies (many of whom built entire TH-cam channels just from ACNH!), that’s not what new fans want. New fans want to be able to control every leaf, every villager invite, every paving stone, every building. And I think Nintendo will be more inclined to satisfy the new, noisier fans than the existing ones

      Same with textures/LOD/shadows, etc.
      It's not necessarily a different version of the game, but a lot of developers on quest will heavily promote a 'Quest 3 update' to their games that makes them look substantially better, beyond the pure performance increase of running the existing title on better hardware.

It also just doesn't really need a remaster when it already runs at the a consistent 60, especially when it's gonna already be playable on Switch 2. At that point just put those resources towards a new game with new content.

    If we're getting even further into weird ideas land: Maybe the Joycon also acts kind of like a vmu, so you can take your Animal Crossing character to your friend's house on your "Connect" controller. And maybe you can wirelessly connect to a display/phone to play minigames right from your Joycon. Heck, if we're in super weird ideas land, maybe the Joycon has a mini projector inside it.

    3:35 The only thing I want from a new Animal Crossing is a reason to visit other people's villages. New Horizons was such a social phenomenon, probably due to the times, but there was almost no reason to actually play together. It was even kind of a pain to do as you were so limited as a guest with what you were even allowed to do. Maybe being able to be neighbors and have some interactivity between your villages where your villagers will visit one another and become friends with your neighbors and their villagers and utilize their economies. Maybe each type of attraction requires a set amount of resources and you can only get the best version of it by specializing in only that type, so finding new neighbors who have focused on different types of attractions will help your villagers be the happiest they can be.

    It just feels like it would be a huge waste of resources to do remasters from the Switch for the next system. Like, why? Nintendo isn't Sony, their philosophy is pretty different. The reason rereleases on Switch that originally released on the Wii U made sense was because the Wii U wasn't stacking up to be a very popular platform, so giving those games a second chance on Switch made all the sense in the world. The built-in backwards compatibility of this new system just negates any reason to do something like that. I could totally see performance patches as somewhat of a possibility, but not this. I think a lot of people would just like to see brand new games, with a remake here and there. My personal hope is for Nintendo to utilize way more of their IPs this time. Honestly they've gotten to kind of a good start on exactly that in these last few years of the Switch.

I often see people talking about how they need to make the console a different color to differentiate it with the first model, but that's because they're thinking in static images (because of the leaks most likely) but imagine ads showing how the joy-cons attach and detach magnetically, every ad will show it at the end alongside the name of the console, and the logo animation will be tweaked to show the new gesture (pulling/pushing instead of sliding).

    Here are my predictions for the switch 2
    1. The switch 2 will not be called the switch 2 it will have a completely different name, it will keep the switch branding like the NES to the SNES but it wont have a 2 in the name.
    2. The Switch 2 will have a new Mario kart game as a launch title with a new 3D Mario game in the fall, we’ll also get something Zelda in the first year but not a new 3D game till 2028 so either a remake or spinoff, also Kirby’s forgotten land will get a sequel in 2026 along with a new Donkey Kong, Animal Crossing, and Splatoon 4.
    3. We WILL NOT! Be getting a bunch of remasters of switch games on the switch 2 like Sony is doing with remasters on PS5, we might get a Breath of the Wild HD for Zelda’s 35th anniversary but other than that there wont be another Wii U Port situation again. Also after Yoshi’s Wooly World and Kirby and the Rainbow Curse no more Wii U ports they’re done.
    4. This isn’t really a prediction but more wishful thinking that the switch 2 will have plenty of brand new features not in the original system like built in voice chat so you don’t have to use the smartphone app when playing online, an AR camera similar to the 3DS, a button that allows you to play games on the TV using the switch tablet like the Wii U gamepad that will make playing games like Super Mario Maker so much easier and makes DS game coming to switch online even more likely, and please for the love of god bring back themes Nintendo I’m begging you.
    5. GameCube and DS games will be coming to Switch Online, they won’t be exclusive to only switch 2 owners but they will come to the service sometime after the console launch.
    6. We will finally get a new F-Zero game fight me!

    Just my two cents on the Kirby prediction. Kirby has never had an initial reveal that was purely cinematics. An initial reveal for a Kirby title has always been a gameplay trailer. Forgotten Land's trailer was as cinematic as it got and it was still very much a gameplay trailer first and foremost. Maybe a post-Forgotten Land climate is different for the series than I expect, but I personally expect them to stick with the current format of a standard gameplay reveal.

    I feel like a mario kart makes a bit more sense for a social type game than animal crossing to launch with. I also feel like switch remasters are not coming. It made more sense with the wii u since there was no backwards compatibility and the games were so good but just didn't have the install base to succeed which is not the case for switch games.
    Other titles for the year imo is a new mario 3d platformer on switch 2 Metroid Prime obviously either as a dual release or just s1, splatoon 4, then legends ZA. Then for one wacky pick im just going to say a new star fox game since it never got anything really on switch 2.

      Even though we haven't gotten a new Mario Kart in ages, the development of the next Mario Kart probably started development around late 2023 after Tour and the Booster Course Pass wrapped up. So unfortunately you'll have to wait until Spring 2026 the earliest.

      @ I doubt they needed an entire team for the Booster Pass. They could’ve laid the groundwork for the next title simultaneously. Plus there was a lot of time between the release of 8 Deluxe and the Booster.

    I feel like they HAVE to release a new 3D Mario at launch. No other game would give a big reason to buy the Switch 2 early. Animal Crossing might be a good showcase of social features but the switch 2’s biggest seller is likely going to be the power upgrade, and I feel like animal crossing has already reached its graphical limit in terms of the art style

      Insert the GameCube, where they launched with Luigi's Mansion instead of a 3D Mario. Nintendo doesn't HAVE to do anything.

    I'm still convinced Metroid Prime 4 will be cross gen.
    It's a more Western-focused series, developed by a Western studio & has first person shooting elements, so I'm guessing it would be a good title to appeal to Western gamers.
    Pokemon Legends is made my Game Freak. That alone tells me it won't be cross gen. They don't have the size or resources to develop cross gen titles, as they treat Pokemon like a low budget AA IP. They probably have 3 major games in development simultaneously, all divided up between 200 or less.
    And despite the sheer amount of games they pump out, they never have done cross gen & will likely focus on just the console with the largest install size.
    Hope I'm wrong, but I have no faith in GF.

    I really hope Arlo is wrong about Nintendo doing a bunch of "Deluxe" ports of Switch games on Switch 2. Since the Switch 2 is going to be backwards-compatible anyways, it just doesn't make sense to me. I feel like these games would flop the same way Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story did on 3DS because people could ALREADY play the game on that console. It would just be so underwhelming and frankly a very bad look for Nintendo. Especially considering people already expect the Switch 2 to automatically be able to upscale games and improve the framerafe. If that ends up being a feature, these Deluxe ports would be completely redundant. If it's not a feature and they sell these games to us again for 70 bucks, people are going to be LIVID. It would be an absolute PR disaster. Wii U to Switch was different because the install base on Wii U was so low, so the people upset about ports were a vocal minority. The Switch also couldn't natively play Wii U games because we went from a disc drive to cartridges. Porting Switch games to Switch 2 would be such an absolute slap in the face, and I will not be buying any if those titles. They would really have to work hard to regain my consumer trust if they did that.
