I remember how on TGA 2019 Microsoft were going on for 10 minutes talking about how great new Xbox Series X is going to be just to be hit by "Switch Has Games" ad 5 minutes later. I don't think they ever recovered...
Nintendo fanboys really mean that, right? You really need to try different platforms aswell. 9/10 of my favorite games every year are on PlayStation or PC
The funniest thing to come out of this was the legit gaming leaks twitter saying "not sure sure about this one" regarding their leak about the switch being announced before it releases lmao
I’d love it if the new hardware allows them to revisit (and revamp) some of those 3DS/Wii U features. Nintendo did well to make a basic console/handheld with basic features so they could focus on the games, but it’d be great to see them spread their wings a bit when it comes to the overall User Experience.
30:00 The Cast button (if that) could work by simply syncing with the Dock to stream to the TV. Instead of making the console cast to other devices that may or may not work, just make it a dedicated function of the Dock itself, problem solved.
The original Switch already can use mouse and keyboard but hardly any games utilise this feature. For instance the Quake games can be played this way. Metroid Prime 4 could use this set up on Switch 1.
on the topic of "the difficulties of casting to a TV" the thing you are forgetting steve is that the difficulty there is you are using two different devices, likely from two different companies, and likely attempting to thread together two versions of the same app. if Nintendo is running from the Switch 2 to the Doc its using eliminating virtually all of those pressure points.
Would be cool if Nintendo DLSS uses frame gen that generates every 3rd frame, so they hit 60fps but with input at 40 rather than 30. 00100100100100100100 (that's 20 frames, a third of a second - the zeros counting for input)
31:43 For the Cast function. The dock could have the equivalent to a chrome cast that lets you cast the switch console via wifi, to the dock and the dock can receive the stream from either wifi or ethernet.
I’m still not sure about the idea of Metroid Prime 4 being a launch title, at least the main launch title with nothing else accompanying it. The series has historically failed to penetrate the mainstream, & it’s especially struggled in Japan. So while I don’t doubt that MP4 will be the best selling entry in the franchise, I just don’t think Metroid has the clout to carry an entire system launch by itself. It’d need something more mainstream like 3D Mario or Mario Kart 9/10 backing it up.
I'm curious as to whether or not the Switch 2 will end up having an achievement system or not when it is released. 🤔 And as was mentioned on the podcast, having more themes for the Switch 2 UI - whatever the UI ends up looking like- would be phenomonal!
Nintendo already mentioned they don't want achievements on their system They see no merit in making achievements a mandatory feature as it takes away from the main point of their games which is to have fun They do have games with in game achievements tho
There was that patent about a scroll wheel on the joycon itself and I was not sure how a horizontal wheel would work but then, if you do have to turn the joycon to its side, then the wheel just becomes normally oriented. Not sure how that would work on the pro controller though. I suppose just because the wheel is in a different orientation doesn't mean it can't just scroll vertically.
im so dang hyped for this thing! i always have to temper myself by remembering that the buildup is usually the most fun part of a new release though, lol
Shuntaro Furukawa: "Mama mia! How are we going to Surprise and Delight™️ our Nintendrones if Switch 2 keeps "Leaking" out of our "Warp Pipes"?!" Shigeru Miyamoto (having Netflix Star Fox Show Flashbacks): "Shut it all down right now. We must begin work on a new console, which will be part pretzel-maker"
The World Ends With You Final Mix used the IR sensor, also, a credible Chinese leaker said the next mario kart will be mario kart 10 and it will not be a year 1 switch 2 game, he said it would be a 2026 game
Unsure about this chinese guy being legit? You have a link to what he said? I do believe it'll be called mario kart 10 since Nintendo absolute considers Tour to be a mainline entry.
I think the c button is going to be like the c buttons on the 64 controller... its a grab bag of a button, its an "Assign me" button, i think holding C lets you change the use function of all the other buttons.
I understand the issue mentioned about “casting” but I’ve never had issues with casting from an iPad or iPhone to an Apple TV. It’s pretty good. (Not saying Nintendo couldn’t have an issue) But good casting IS available.
Regarding overclocking, you can get a pretty much solid 60fps on Breath of the wild, Tears of Kingdom and Echoes of Wisdom if you overclock the cpu, gpu and ram, so for those kinds of games there isn't really "a lot missing" on the Switch 1.
People are worried about an 8 nanometer chip because Samsung's 8nm tech is very power hungry. But it's cheap since nobody wants to make their chips using it.
Alright people need to stop saying Nintendo is so smart with the right joy con being a mouse . Don't get me wrong it's really cool but the Lenovo legion go did it first, I made a TH-cam short demonstrating it
Accessory manufactures would need to have seen it to make their products. Nintendo probably (and rightfully) thought devs would have leaked the thing super quickly.

@@manuelalbertoromero9528That would be cool but do something new with it. Even the miiverse hopefully they would have some new updated things that could be done.
I’m hoping the Switch2 can stream video to the dock, other Switches, and possibly other peripherals. It would enable two screen gameplay. Edit: That’s what the C button activates! IMO
I refuse to believe it’s called the Switch 2 until I hear it from Nintendo themselves. I’m still holding out hope for it being called the Super Switch.
I would prefere that name. But Nintendo thinks this: Casual player see the anounce for the Super Nintendo Switch: Oohh, the Switch PROO 😲. I'll wait for the 2, I don't want a slicely best version of my normal Switch. Nintendo: Here we go again 😵
Are they? Because part certain point the human eye can't for shit tell the difference when it comes to higher resolution. There's no way for us to tell between 4K and 8K, and this doubles as a handheld.
@@roskiart8750 YES, they are. Even if it was true (it isn't) that the human eye can't tell the difference between 4k and 8k it sure as hell can tell the difference between 1080p or 1440p and 4k. Also where did i mention anything about 8k? I said 1080p is unacceptable in 2025.
Not everyone cares about all that. I just want HD. I don't care about frames and find the whole conversation around them annoying. I watch another podcast and they just complain about frames the whole time. They seem unhappy.
@@sirmel11 as a nod towards the shift from the NES to the SNES era, as well as simply sounding good...

I'm excited for the real reveal just so everyone will finally stfu about "leaks" already. Istg people have been talking about "switch 2 leaks" for 5 years now (you guys included), I'm so sick of hearing about a "new leak" every other week. Even if the new leak is real I don't care, I'm not believing a single thing until I see the official announcement.
Am i the only person on earth that doesnt care about themes, eshop music and achievements? Add UI functionality and make the eshop not lag thats enough imo
@@manuelalbertoromero9528 i dont care about style when i start a game. I dont need to stare at the home menu and admire the cool font when i can instead launch a game. Or browse through the eshop longer then necessary because the music is nice. Folders, sorting and more game rows>music, themes, mii streetpass stuff.
Thank you for finally talking about switch 1's awful performance. Switch 2 seems like everything I wanted from a more powerful console so far. Especially if we are getting Halo/Gears according to rumors.
@@lol-ih1tl Yeah but 4GB of ram was a mistake waiting to happen lmao. It just reminds me of budget amazon kindle gaming. Even if 12GB isn't standard anything would be better than 4GB.

The Switch 2 will have an innovative new concept that neither of its competitors can match. The Switch 2... will have games!

Y'all are gonna be one of the best Nintendo podcasts going into the Switch 2 era. I can feel it 🙏
LCD screens aren’t what they used to be.
LCD screens have been drastically improved since the switch release.
Never quite as good as an OLED, but tech like local dimming does give you a much nicer experience than before
Exactly, this is what people always fail to realise.
@@RuuyGok then don’t buy any OLED tvs then.
Tbh, they were already good when Switch 2 released but they decided to use a cheap one

Maybe the switch 2 were the friends we made along the way
Yes!
I only have two things I desire out of the Switch 2: what new features would it have to stand out, and what are the games going to be like?
Up next - Switch 2 revealed by nephew of uncle who works at Nintendo.

Yes we getting a custom DLSS for switch 2 game but also it works on switch games two. 😅
We also know it use SD express cards because of GameStop leaks. So I’m getting the 1TB card. 😅
The C button might be for custom control settings or mode for switch from mouse control to regular control? 😅
Would be cool if Nintendo DLSS uses frame gen that generates every 3rd frame, so they hit 60fps but with input at 40 rather than 30.

I don't believe that Switch 2 will have any big games on launch.
Metroid Prime 4 and Mario Kart 9
They maybe do a black one with the blue and orange and then a white one with blue / orange. 😅
I personally hope that they also sell a mouse-shaped hunk of plastic that I can slot the joycon into

It’s not about devs. It’s about manufacturers. They already made millions of Switch 2 to be sold for launch

I think Animal Crossing comes either as a launch title or as the big holiday game
If that happened, I'd buy it at launch. 😍
