If streetpass is back Tomodachi Life is also back Plus if this is a supposed leaked Nintendo switch 2.0.. the top part where there's another USB type-c could introduce a new accessory like Camera function.
if it will be as powerful as a PS 4(handheld) and PS4 Pro(Docked) like they are saying while still maintaining the current generation's battery life, Man is it gonna sell like crazy!!
If you put it in to perspective, compare that to a steam deck and how powerful the steam deck is . Ain't no way the next switch will be more powerful than a steam deck and have a lower price point .. unfortunately
@@ALISHAPLAY10 I don’t think Nintendo is trying to compete with the steam deck and Nintendo has a lot of exclusive games you can’t play on steam same with Xbox and Sony
I'd argue the strap makes it harder to press/more inconsistent since you're using a button to push a button vs just pressing it directly without the strap.
@@Zodryn Personally, I'd rather have a larger more comfortable inconsistent experience than an uncomfortable consistent one. You are already playing on a single joycon so performance is not your main concern anyways. Might as well make the miserable experience at least feel a little more comfortable
The Motherboard in the photos is real. It's numbered "X6" and if you have a good eye, you can make out on the motherboard near the end of the joycon (it's upside down) the last numbers are "2340", which means Week 40 (October), 2023. This is when the revision of this motherboard X6, started showing up in the shipping data. X8 is the current shipping model, so this isn't from a production line, but is from a test production instead. With the reveal happening in the next 6 months officially, and rumors pointing to the first half of next year, as well as test production seemingly at or near it's end. Actual production of Switch 2 should happen sometime very soon, and a reveal is likely to happen around this timing. The person who posted these pictures said that they created the CAD files by reverse engineering the data they had, but that the real photos are legit. Faking a motherboard in this way is so incredibly complicated and expensive, that it's very unlikely to be fake, especially when we know a lot of these X6 motherboards exist. There is just too many details that were correct and even solved in very intelligent ways.
A competent electrical engineer could have a fake board in a couple weeks for less than $100. I do believe these are real, but it isn't because of the board. It is mainly because of the plastic molding. The tooling for that is the expensive part. The plastic doesn't appear to be 3D printed, which would be a dead give away that it was faked. 3D printing would be the easiest and cheapest way to attempt to create the shell, but potentially easy to notice the fake.
If this is what it is - I'd be happy! I just hope they give us themes this time, lol. And how about some background music in the eShop! I miss those times.
Speaking of eShop, ACTUALLY optimize it. It's a pain when I just go to do a quick search. Actually make it be like Steam where and remove all the AI and mobile game-esque crapware. Themes would actually be appreciative (actual themes people can add without having to mod their system first, or at least background themes, nothing fancy).
Claiming that a handheld console, priced at (speculative) $400, is outdated at launch simply because it doesn't match the power of the PS5 or Xbox Series X is an unreasonable statement. It's unrealistic to expect a handheld to be on par with these consoles in terms of performance.
I understand what you say, but to go along with that, i believe Nintendo is late to the party. With these specs, they should have released two years ago because moving forward will be a test for third party big games
@@Frozoken that i disagree on. The steam deck has a very fast sd card slot and it runs Devil May Cry V , Baldur's gate 3 and Monster Hunter Rise without any issue. Just did some research on what sd card to use
I could see this as Nintendo’s offering next year: Switch Lite $199, Switch $299, Switch OLED $349, Switch ‘2’ $399. Sold as a family of devices for at least a few years until we see a spec bump in the lite. Switch ‘2’ will have its own games. The pricing ladder is already built in.
Im thinking they are going to price adjust the older consoles. Switch lite $179, Switch $249, Switch OLED $299, Switch 2 $399. They did something similar with 3ds Family of consoles putting 2DS really low.
@@jomol4598 With the Steam Deck starting at $399, I don't see how Nintendo could reasonably go above that. They could offer higher skus with more storage, better screen etc, like the Steam Deck.
Honestly, keeping the V2 Switch after the OLED was always kind of stupid to me. I think the lineup should be Switch Lite $199, either Switch OR Switch OLED $299, and Switch 2 $399.
I guess my question is this. People that have defended that lack of power on the Switch have stated that it is ONLY about the portability and gameplay. For a casual that has no allegiance to Nintendo, or doesn't care about power anyway, how do you convince them to buy this if this is _just_ a more powerful Switch? They will just say, "I already have a Switch. I don't need another one." I have a Samsung Galaxy A71 phone. Numerous upgrades and iterations have come out since I bought it 3 years. I have had no need for any of them because the phone I have does everything I need it to do. However, I know that there are enthusiasts out there that trade in their current phone and get the very next model or iteration as soon as it comes out. Those people are the minority, not the majority. I know as gamers we tend to think WE are the majority, but in reality, we are not when it comes to consoles that have had major success like the Switch, PS4, Wii, DS, PS2, PS1, and GameBoy. Nintendo has already officially stated that they will continue to support the Switch well into the next generation. It is a normal business strategy to maintain support of a successful piece of hardware with a large consumer footprint for as long as you can. I say all that to say that if this is just a more powerful Switch straight up and nothing else, I can see it being popular with the core gaming audience, but this will not have the same success as the original Switch. No reason for casuals that don't care about power, or are not core-fans of Nintendo IP to upgrade. Not enough to differentiate it from the other (more powerful, and more capable) hybrid-devices that are already on the market, and ones in development. I see it doing about half the numbers of the original Switch at best.
So why is the PS5 still selling with no games and simply more powerful than a PS4? There are always more customers and people will eventually buy the next switch if it has as good of exclusives as the current switch has. Of course there will be many people who don't upgrade just like with the PS5 but the consumer base, especially for videogames, is always growing and works to offset that.
@@RaddAdams PS5 sales are slowing down dramatically which is one of the reasons why there IS a PS5 Pro. They are trying to stoke the fire. Just from April to June of this year, sales dropped 27%. That's a bunch in just a 3-month period, but that is beside the point and a red-herring. You are addressing this as a Nintendo fan, not as a casual fan. Casuals do not care about YOUR perceptions of what "good exclusives" are. They just care about the form factor and as I already stated (which you purposefully ignored,) Nintendo has already said that they will continue to support the Switch well into the next generation. Those good exclusives you talk about will also be available on the original Switch. Again I say, if someone already has a Switch, they are perfectly fine with the power level the way it is, are not a Nintendo fanatic, and the console will still be getting "good exclusives," why do they need _this_ Switch if all it offers is more power? You also forget that when the Switch was in it's prime, it had no competition in that space. There was no Steam Deck, Ayaneo 2, ROG Ally, Lenovo Go, or other hybrid-devices on the market and on the way. There was also no lingering threat from hybrid-devices from either or both Microsoft and Sony. It was an oasis in the desert. Hybrid functionality is not a gimmick anymore. It is not "Blue Ocean" anymore.... It is "normal." The defense rests.............
@@D2KprimeI think the selling point will be modern games in a handheld plus modern Nintendo games. I have a feeling their will be some new gimmick, maybe a way to to cast to the TV allowing two screen gaming or a sensor bar allowing better motion controls but every Xbox and Playstation has essentially been a better version of the last so I don't think your point stands. Many people were happy with the NES but the SNES still did fine because the games were better. I don't think gamers or even casual audiences care about form factor, they care about games.
So the Switch 2 could just be a Switch Pro, similar to the PlayStation Pros. Play the same catalog, but the pro gets some enhancements that would be worth the upgrade? I'm thinking similar to the 3DS and "New" 3DS where there were even some games that required the New 3DS
The USB-C on the top of the console opens so many possibilities! Like adding a new screen for playing DS/3DS games. You can have it if you want, and also take it off. That also means that they don’t increase the price of the Switch 2 while also adding the possibility of adding a second screen if you want to.
I even used to switch names between Switch and WiiU when decided to give WiiU a try back in 2019... It also was a much more confortable "controller with a screen" to play games; played through almost the whole BoTW on it before sleep and only switched to a big screen to face the last boss, because felt that needed to be epic as it really was!
@@Aaron-ge7ho i played a good chunk of botw on the wii u tab as well! Man that thing is cozy to hold. It's kinda disappointing to see this iteration be flat again. Atleast it'll be bigger though, and the sticks won't suck as much. Switching to the big screen for the final boss is epic haha
I don't mind the old design being bigger so much, the biggest pain point has been the fact that no where I travel to has a switch dock waiting for me. So I have always had to carry my dock awkwardly in my bag with it, every time I go somewhere for more than a day. I pray for a micro dock, basically a plug with a small base, or... just let us plug in a dongle with hdmi, power and usb ports please.
Strongly agree! The dock is a nice TV stand accessory, but horrible for travel. I use a third party dock that's a slim small box and it's really convenient. If third party gives you pause, there's also custom made shells you can buy. You take apart a regular Switch dock and transfer over the components and you end up with a much smaller package. No soldering or anything like that needed
At first I thought the joycons were too different; too rounded, but being larger, it makes sense. A larger joycon might allow grips to be more ergonomic as well.
@@theprotnt596 Compare the hollowed out model to a normal one, looks basically the same including the joy cons. Literally look at both and compare, no sources needed other than my eyes and judgement for one. Number two, the 3D model leak is clearly 1:1 the original Switch design, look at the bottom, sides, and top of your unit compared and you’ll find it is exactly the same. This is no Switch two, just a made up piece of crap. May I ask what is your source of the actual images? Where do they come from?
@@ScarySkele oh, its just I haven’t seen the hollowed out 3d model before. Though, I’m pretty sure the models shown here are different, because things like the second usb-c, no rail system, joy-cons and switch being bigger, the joy-cons having different side bars that protrude outwards and bigger sl and sr buttons, and more are shown. the images were originally from a Chinese website which(I think) was from a company that had ties with Nintendo, though I may be incorrect about this. Where I saw the images was where it was mainly found online, in a subreddit about gaming leaks and rumours. The Redditor who shared it was called mrsheeple iirc. Also, the switch 2 is 100% a thing as the president of Nintendo officially tweeted confirming that they will be announcing it. Edit: oops, I misread your comment when you said” this is no switch two” and read it as “THERE is no switch two”
you have to consider, literally in the past year there have been numerous handhelds that have been released and more that are still to come. Until it's officially announced from Nintendo, we can only assume this could be any handheld coming out that is using mock features of a switch. Love the vid, always good topics!
I wonder what the “gimmick” will be. Every Nintendo console or handheld has that one unique feature making it unique. Don’t think the magnetic joy cons is that feature lol.
I always expected the Switch 2 to be more ergonomic compared to the original Switch. Nintendo usually prioritizes ergonomics in their products to appeal to a larger market.
While I do think fear about the Wii U’s success does play into this, I do think Nintendo not only knows now, but also (from the leaks) seems to be making sure that this feels like a whole new generation. The Wii U’s console and game pad was hard to work with and 3rd party games were essentially gone from Nintendo because of the complications. This new console seems the exact same, but more powerful and better. I genuinely think Nintendo would have to fumble really hard to not make this work. Sony and Microsoft for the first time in years are starting to sweat.
If they just call it the Switch 2, and market the fact that its the next generation rather than just focusing one one single massive gimmick (like the Wii U gamepad), its unlikely people would be confused especially today in 2024 when everyone knows what a PS5 is. The issue with the Wii U is that it looked like an accessory for the Wii, the name itself was confusing and suggested that it was an accessory. The 3DS also confused some people as they thought it was just a DS with 3D, as it wasn’t marketed on its improved hardware until later on. They haven’t had issues with previous consoles like the Super Nintendo when it comes to marketing the fact that the hardware was improved, and that was so long ago that its not really a relevant way to analyse the modern industry and what would work today. Nintendos had a history of completely throwing away their brand recognition with each generation in a way that makes no sense, Super Nintendo -> Nintendo 64 -> Gamecube -> Wii -> Wii U…? (no wonder people were confused). Hopefully the Switch branding sticks and they just call the next one “Switch 2”.
Form factor is key to portability - one reason why the Switch resonated with such a massive market. Nintnedo can't and won't follow PC handhelds route with making these big bulky handhelds and grips. Its EASY to get accessories to make the grip more comfortable. On the other hand, there's no way to buy an accessory that strinks the system and Joy-Con. So, the safe route is the make it compact as possible - within reason - from the start.
I like the Switch so I’m quite satisfied with just more Switch, but I do hope they take the chance to fix the minor issues the switch has. Bigger means more real estate for hardware so it must a little better. I just want TOTK with no frame drops and I’ll be happy.
I definitely wish it was something a bit more unique tbh. I'll happily buy one, but it just being a more powerful Switch is a bit disappointing. Doubly so if I turn it on and the UI/menus are just the standard themeless Switch menus. I was hoping for something with a bit more soul like the Wii.
the Nintendo Switch game card platform technically supports flash storage up to 2tb (it is technically loosely based off of standard SD) so it wouldn't make much more sense for Nintendo to introduce yet another game card platform to replace the original Switch platform. also, this would allow backwards compatibility with original Switch games. so what i think Nintendo would probably do, is either they add some plastic tab to the moldings of Switch 2 games that you wouldn't be able to physically fit them inside a Switch 1, but Switch 1 games would still work on Switch 2 consoles. Nintendo could be banking on Backwards compatibility for the Switch 2 this time around because that would mean that the Switch 2 will already have a HUGE catalog of games available to play right at launch - this can incentivise many people who already have a Switch 1 to sell their Switch 1 and upgrade to a Switch 2. especially if Nintendo makes a smart move and introduce performance patches for Switch 1 games on Switch 2 (sort of like what Sony did with PS4 games on PS5) one of my biggest gripes with the Nintendo Switch is that sure it is technically a handheld - but find me a single person who can actually play the switch in handheld mode without getting his hands getting numb. this is honestly my biggest gripe, because whenever i wanted to play in handheld mode i just ended up playing in tabletop mode instead because it was just much more comfortable - and not always do you actually have a safe place to lay your switch on which kinda defeats the whole purpose of this being a "handheld console". i think honestly due to this most people probably use their switch mostly in docked mode, unless they got some joycon grips (which btw, why the heck are joycon grips that come with carry case are so bloody expensive?? like 85$? are you fkin kidding me???)
3D model was confirmed by the original poster to be a recreation of the physical prototype. The actual prototype console and controllers are from October 2023. We don't know if the poster has a physical backplate for the system, and the top and bottom parts of the tablet are also missing, so the entire design for that in the model may just be guesswork, which is why it looks identical to the OLED unit
I'd be concerned about using the same cartridges, great for backward compatibility but as it is a lot of major publishers have issue getting their games to fit. If the system is more powerful that will lead to bigger game file sizes, and more games not being entirely on cartridge. I hope they've managed to make large cart sizes more easily accessible to publishers.
As much as I like the Super Nintendo switch name for nostalgic and historical reasons, switch 2 is the best name branding wise bc it’s clear, concise, and can’t be confused with being a variant of the original
Agree with everything that you said, the Switch 2 makes sense and it's what's needed. A "New" Nintendo Switch with better specs, and improvements. People are complaining but they need to understand that two screens was not going to happen, and those who wanted a PS5 Pro-like home only console that doesn't make sense for Nintendo right now. Agree with the ergonomics, it may not be the most comfortable thing for long periods of play but at the same time it helps it to be more portable and regarding the design being similar affecting sales it makes no sense, is exactly as you said, marketing plays a role on that. Physical media support is great and 256 may not be enough for a digital-only library but is a great improvement over the 64 GB of the OLED. Excited! Though I feel like it should have been released early 2024.
The thing that worries me is the connection method of the joycons. It appears to have three plug in points, and that seems like a huge potential for connection issues. If they are magnetic that might not be that bad, but I just see the nightmare of a plug not seating or staying connected.
The raised shoulder of the new joycon while kinda ugly is definetly gonna make 2 player games at least a little more comfortable. I also think for backwards compatibility flat joy cons are a must unfortunately. But I mean im sure tons of shells let alone 3rd party controllers will add that. A slicone shell with rubber/plastic grip that can wrap around and come off would be a good idea for nintendo to make as a first party option.
Mobile devices like phones and tablets have looked barely dissimilar for years now, especially after bezels started to disappear, it's why a modern smartphones tend to do emphasise the back design more in marketing now.
If this is real I’m glad they are keeping the design and format, just scaling it up and increasing the performance. It makes me more hopeful that it is backwards compatible because there is still so many Switch games I haven’t got around to play. And so many games I want to keep playing.
Lots of people are worried it will flop because marketing failures, creating another Wii to Wii U transition, but remember they've done this before with the Nintendo 3DS and the Super Nintendo. As long as they call it something like "Super Switch" or if the joycons "snap" instead of "switch on," maybe they call it something like the Nintendo Snap?
I think a similar design makes a lot of sense for a 'switch 2' similar to their handheld line ex) ds to 3ds gb to gbc and gba etc. Though I still feel like they will announce something after the holiday season just to allow current stock to die down.
Most disappointing is that it's still the same basic design for the joycon. No proper Dpad, no triggers, no sensible right stick/button placement. I can only really play on the Switch with the pro controller, I absolutely hate the joycon
cant wait for all of the "tHaT jUsT lOoKs LiKe AnOtHeR sWiTcH" like the ps5 doesnt just looks like a ps4 or the ps4 just looks like a more pokwerful ps3 etc
Wait until you see the "Dock" (NS2 home console)... all the rumors/guesses are WAY off! We're getting Wii-U style gamepad->console wireless connectivity options in NS2. In fact, you'll be able to wirelessly pair up to 4 gen-1 NS or NS2 to the NS2 "dock" for games that utilize the feature. This is why they are still pushing gen-1 NS sales so close to NS2 announcement/release. Think Zelda WW and TP HD ports and why they haven't come to Switch yet.
The library needs to have some heavy hitters from every genre at launch, imagine for first party we get Zelda, Metroid, Mario and Splatoon to get those people in on day one. For third party start off with Elden Ring as its still selling great and having it handheld would be huge, Black Ops 6, maybe microsoft will make a new Conker for it. Then every age range is targeted
"Grain of salt" could mean anything but the way TH-camrs often discuss this stuff is that these leaks are 100% accurate minus a bit of uncertainty but in reality it should be more that we all start at 0% + potential likelihood of this being real. All these rumours have been flakey at best, with disparate connections, and of course you'd expect to see some fakes showing up when everyone gets excited, it happens all the time. In Kevin's defense he's very level headed about it in this video.
They have to add at least one notable feature beyond a graphics upgrade, or even improved controllers. This is Nintendo after all, and unlike competitors they strive to release innovative features to “delight” their customers. Additionally, while life cycles of consoles recently has included mid-life tech bumps. If they don’t differentiate enough from the OLED Switch there will be less hype and interest to buy it. Looking forward to what they have in store!!
A flat and slimline design for this kind of device also does seem to market better. I think they got a lot of negative feedback regarding the appearance of the Wii U Gamepad. I would appreciate some 'Pro' Joy-Con with grips and a real d-pad.
@@Foetoid2k6 switch sales have dropped but are still going well enough. They don’t need to rush the new system out. Last system launched in March because the WIIU was a flop
@@Will5353_ Nintendo want people to remain focus on upcoming Switch games this year, so they don't wanna distract them with new console announcement. Seems like a good strategy.
I find the two-part controller to be generally more comfortable than having one controller for both hands. It’s nice to be able to use my armrests instead of being slouched over with a controller in my lap.
@@jakobr_Yeah, that's why I like the Wii Remotes too. I was able to comfortably walk on the treadmill while playing Xenoblade Chronicles and it was a great way to walk an hour without even noticing. It's nice to be able to naturally move your arms while still being able to play
I don’t see why the main body would have NFC capability. There’s no need for it to have that. On the original Switch, the NFC reader is on the left Joycon. If the system is docked, making the user get up and walk and lean down over to the console to scan an amiibo just to use it is absolutely crazy considering they already had a better system before. That with the RAM speed being so high is kinda surprising. If it were an AMD based chiplet, it’d make sense. But Nvidia chips don’t tend to benefit much from having faster memory. The memory would be faster, sure. But the main reason a device wants faster memory at that speed is to speed up CPU computational speed but that only works on 3000-series and higher AMD chips. Nvidia just doesn’t work that way.
Gotta say - it's a bit disappointing that everyone's $80 sets of joy-cons won't be able to attach to the Switch 2 if this is true. The new charging stand they released does also support this being the case, and most people have suspected this for a while, but it's still disappointing. There was so much progress with the controller style joy-con replacements, even Mobapad recently releasing their version with hall effect sticks *and* haptics just like the real deals. Can't imagine how long it'll take for similar products to be developed for the Switch 2...
Didn't Nintendo state a few months back that the next hardware they are working on is within the Switch family? Which means of course it'll look similar to the Switch. I'm thinking the Switch will be similar to the GameBoy. Which would be great, imo. The GameBoy had the Color, Pocket, Advance, Advance SP, and Micro. All of which could use the previous generation games, but the newer games couldn't be used in the older systems. I'd love a Switch family like this.
The fact that we have these seemingly authentic factory leaks means whoever posted this probably had the files for a little while and posted it now because Nintendo is probably going to make an official unveil very soon. This is very exciting indeed. It's good that this Switch 2 will support physical media; seemingly also compatible with Switch games. I think that means we're going to see it carry over the Switch's online and carry over all digital purchases. What I'm surprised is that the Switch 2 seemingly is not compatible with SSDs. I was expecting for it to be compatible with M.2 2230 SSDs for user expandable storage.
I actually like the design for the switch oled or regular switch. Maybe because I smaller hands overall, but I do agree with the organomics with the design with the current switch.
I don’t think the Wii U thing would repeat. Consumers are more knowledgeable now, and don’t get all their info from first party marketing due to social media. Also, lot more % of gamers are adults now, not adults buying games for their kids and not understanding the difference. But if there isn’t a way to stream my pc to this switch, I’m just going to buy a pc handheld and emulate everything. My switch would get much more use if it had steam link or moonlight without having to add a mod chip.
At first I thought “man, Nintendo is going to be mad! But the more I think about it, waiting and “letting it leak” is actually kind of brilliant! EVERYONE is talking about it, EVERYONE is looking for it and now there is FREE marketing without even having to reveal the system! Perhaps this is part of their plan, and we’re looking at an October reveal.
If it’s the size of a Nitro deck but smaller than a Steamdeck, 256gb and powerful as a PS4- Series S that will be more than enough. Really hoping a lot of this comes out to be true.
I still don't believe they'd be magnetic. Much less, electro magnetic. Electro magnets eat up a ton of power, and it would be too much of a risk to have magnetic joycons. One good jolt, and you'd be left holding the joycons and have a broken screen on the floor. It makes no sense.
Back then I didn't know the Wii U was a seperate console, Even my brother-in-law that could afford consoles, back then, didn't realize what it was for a couple of years. So the Wii U was a marketing mistake more then a naming one at least at launch. Of course then low saturation lets problems with the console be reasons not to buy. I mean think about how many problems the Switch actually has. If it didn't blow up at launch those problems would have easily become reasons to pass on the console.
Everyone is saying the next switch should just be a more powerful switch, but I disagree. There is a way to make it much better than that. They should make a unibody design (no removable joycons) that could plug into the tv. The unibody design will make portable mode much more comfortable (think switch lite) and then docked mode would just be the same it is now, minus removable joycons. We all have joycons at this point, and, if we wanted to play that way, could simply pair them. I think most people prefer an actual pro controller anyway for docked mode. And we wouldn’t have table top mode, but who really cares about that anyway.
If that is the design of the joycons, I am very disappointed yet again. The feel of the official Joycon for the original Switch really sucks. I had to get aftermarket ones that are way more ergonomic and feels much better for more comfortable and longer gaming sessions. But they looks basically look the same, just bigger. Oh well. I will just have to wait for better aftermarket ones again like you said. And especially if they have the same easy drift Joysticks. Aftermarket ones are much better in that department as well.
@@fishingmaster69 I think two screens will only be good for when Nintendo decides to have Nintendo DS games in their shop. Also, the extra screen attachment may be something sold separately and it may let you play physical copies of DS games.

Unless people think it’s a regular switch like people thought the Wii U was a Wii controller

When using a single Joy-Con on the side, I’ve always used the wrist strap because it makes the SR/SL buttons bigger and easier to press.
That was the whole point of the attachment though
@@dylanwoods979 Yes but in the video he said the buttons are tiny and hard to press. I’m reminding him the straps exist for a reason. 😁
I'd argue the strap makes it harder to press/more inconsistent since you're using a button to push a button vs just pressing it directly without the strap.
@@Zodryn Personally, I'd rather have a larger more comfortable inconsistent experience than an uncomfortable consistent one. You are already playing on a single joycon so performance is not your main concern anyways. Might as well make the miserable experience at least feel a little more comfortable
Yeah but if I'm putting in the effort to bring a whole extra accessory then I'm just gonna bring a controller
The Motherboard in the photos is real. It's numbered "X6" and if you have a good eye, you can make out on the motherboard near the end of the joycon (it's upside down) the last numbers are "2340", which means Week 40 (October), 2023. This is when the revision of this motherboard X6, started showing up in the shipping data. X8 is the current shipping model, so this isn't from a production line, but is from a test production instead. With the reveal happening in the next 6 months officially, and rumors pointing to the first half of next year, as well as test production seemingly at or near it's end. Actual production of Switch 2 should happen sometime very soon, and a reveal is likely to happen around this timing. The person who posted these pictures said that they created the CAD files by reverse engineering the data they had, but that the real photos are legit. Faking a motherboard in this way is so incredibly complicated and expensive, that it's very unlikely to be fake, especially when we know a lot of these X6 motherboards exist. There is just too many details that were correct and even solved in very intelligent ways.
Awesome thanks for the details. Really hoping it will be announced soon but most likely after the holidays.
A competent electrical engineer could have a fake board in a couple weeks for less than $100. I do believe these are real, but it isn't because of the board. It is mainly because of the plastic molding. The tooling for that is the expensive part. The plastic doesn't appear to be 3D printed, which would be a dead give away that it was faked. 3D printing would be the easiest and cheapest way to attempt to create the shell, but potentially easy to notice the fake.
If this is what it is - I'd be happy! I just hope they give us themes this time, lol. And how about some background music in the eShop! I miss those times.
Speaking of eShop, ACTUALLY optimize it. It's a pain when I just go to do a quick search. Actually make it be like Steam where and remove all the AI and mobile game-esque crapware. Themes would actually be appreciative (actual themes people can add without having to mod their system first, or at least background themes, nothing fancy).
Claiming that a handheld console, priced at (speculative) $400, is outdated at launch simply because it doesn't match the power of the PS5 or Xbox Series X is an unreasonable statement. It's unrealistic to expect a handheld to be on par with these consoles in terms of performance.
I understand what you say, but to go along with that, i believe Nintendo is late to the party. With these specs, they should have released two years ago because moving forward will be a test for third party big games
I agree besides the storage capacity. 256gb in 2024 is so stupid, smartphones have more

I could see this as Nintendo’s offering next year: Switch Lite $199, Switch $299, Switch OLED $349, Switch ‘2’ $399. Sold as a family of devices for at least a few years until we see a spec bump in the lite. Switch ‘2’ will have its own games. The pricing ladder is already built in.
i think switch 2 will more likely be $450-$500
Im thinking they are going to price adjust the older consoles. Switch lite $179, Switch $249, Switch OLED $299, Switch 2 $399. They did something similar with 3ds Family of consoles putting 2DS really low.
@@jomol4598 With the Steam Deck starting at $399, I don't see how Nintendo could reasonably go above that. They could offer higher skus with more storage, better screen etc, like the Steam Deck.
@@exactly9099 never underestimate the greed of nintendo.
Honestly, keeping the V2 Switch after the OLED was always kind of stupid to me. I think the lineup should be Switch Lite $199, either Switch OR Switch OLED $299, and Switch 2 $399.
I guess my question is this.
People that have defended that lack of power on the Switch have stated that it is ONLY about the portability and gameplay. For a casual that has no allegiance to Nintendo, or doesn't care about power anyway, how do you convince them to buy this if this is _just_ a more powerful Switch? They will just say,
"I already have a Switch. I don't need another one."
I have a Samsung Galaxy A71 phone. Numerous upgrades and iterations have come out since I bought it 3 years. I have had no need for any of them because the phone I have does everything I need it to do. However, I know that there are enthusiasts out there that trade in their current phone and get the very next model or iteration as soon as it comes out. Those people are the minority, not the majority.
I know as gamers we tend to think WE are the majority, but in reality, we are not when it comes to consoles that have had major success like the Switch, PS4, Wii, DS, PS2, PS1, and GameBoy.
Nintendo has already officially stated that they will continue to support the Switch well into the next generation. It is a normal business strategy to maintain support of a successful piece of hardware with a large consumer footprint for as long as you can.
I say all that to say that if this is just a more powerful Switch straight up and nothing else, I can see it being popular with the core gaming audience, but this will not have the same success as the original Switch. No reason for casuals that don't care about power, or are not core-fans of Nintendo IP to upgrade. Not enough to differentiate it from the other (more powerful, and more capable) hybrid-devices that are already on the market, and ones in development. I see it doing about half the numbers of the original Switch at best.
So why is the PS5 still selling with no games and simply more powerful than a PS4? There are always more customers and people will eventually buy the next switch if it has as good of exclusives as the current switch has. Of course there will be many people who don't upgrade just like with the PS5 but the consumer base, especially for videogames, is always growing and works to offset that.
@@RaddAdams PS5 sales are slowing down dramatically which is one of the reasons why there IS a PS5 Pro. They are trying to stoke the fire. Just from April to June of this year, sales dropped 27%. That's a bunch in just a 3-month period, but that is beside the point and a red-herring.
You are addressing this as a Nintendo fan, not as a casual fan. Casuals do not care about YOUR perceptions of what "good exclusives" are. They just care about the form factor and as I already stated (which you purposefully ignored,) Nintendo has already said that they will continue to support the Switch well into the next generation. Those good exclusives you talk about will also be available on the original Switch.
Again I say, if someone already has a Switch, they are perfectly fine with the power level the way it is, are not a Nintendo fanatic, and the console will still be getting "good exclusives," why do they need _this_ Switch if all it offers is more power?
You also forget that when the Switch was in it's prime, it had no competition in that space. There was no Steam Deck, Ayaneo 2, ROG Ally, Lenovo Go, or other hybrid-devices on the market and on the way. There was also no lingering threat from hybrid-devices from either or both Microsoft and Sony. It was an oasis in the desert. Hybrid functionality is not a gimmick anymore. It is not "Blue Ocean" anymore....
It is "normal."
The defense rests.............
@@D2KprimeI think the selling point will be modern games in a handheld plus modern Nintendo games. I have a feeling their will be some new gimmick, maybe a way to to cast to the TV allowing two screen gaming or a sensor bar allowing better motion controls but every Xbox and Playstation has essentially been a better version of the last so I don't think your point stands. Many people were happy with the NES but the SNES still did fine because the games were better. I don't think gamers or even casual audiences care about form factor, they care about games.
So the Switch 2 could just be a Switch Pro, similar to the PlayStation Pros. Play the same catalog, but the pro gets some enhancements that would be worth the upgrade? I'm thinking similar to the 3DS and "New" 3DS where there were even some games that required the New 3DS
@@podracer35 not at all. 😂
SUPER SWITCH ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM
The USB-C on the top of the console opens so many possibilities! Like adding a new screen for playing DS/3DS games. You can have it if you want, and also take it off. That also means that they don’t increase the price of the Switch 2 while also adding the possibility of adding a second screen if you want to.
Mario kart 9
New Mario game
This will sell like hot cakes if they drop bangers
"Mario Kart 8" with the Switch 2 sticker on the box.
I'm sure they'll have Mario Kart 9, or a new 3d Mario platformer like Odyssey 2 or something similar at the switch 2 launch.
new splatoon as well since 3 just finished their updates im pretty sure. Some bangers are dropping with it.

I feel like the wii u was the switch 1, and the switch is the switch 2. And now we are coming up on the switch 3
I like to think of it as wii u = switch zero
@@Sammy-qx5mx i actually like that better haha
I even used to switch names between Switch and WiiU when decided to give WiiU a try back in 2019...
It also was a much more confortable "controller with a screen" to play games; played through almost the whole BoTW on it before sleep and only switched to a big screen to face the last boss, because felt that needed to be epic as it really was!
and OLED is switch 2.5
@@Aaron-ge7ho i played a good chunk of botw on the wii u tab as well! Man that thing is cozy to hold. It's kinda disappointing to see this iteration be flat again. Atleast it'll be bigger though, and the sticks won't suck as much.
Switching to the big screen for the final boss is epic haha
I don't mind the old design being bigger so much, the biggest pain point has been the fact that no where I travel to has a switch dock waiting for me. So I have always had to carry my dock awkwardly in my bag with it, every time I go somewhere for more than a day. I pray for a micro dock, basically a plug with a small base, or... just let us plug in a dongle with hdmi, power and usb ports please.
Strongly agree! The dock is a nice TV stand accessory, but horrible for travel. I use a third party dock that's a slim small box and it's really convenient.
If third party gives you pause, there's also custom made shells you can buy. You take apart a regular Switch dock and transfer over the components and you end up with a much smaller package. No soldering or anything like that needed
Plot twist, it's the "new switch xl" 😂

At first I thought the joycons were too different; too rounded, but being larger, it makes sense.
A larger joycon might allow grips to be more ergonomic as well.
Reluctantly clicking on this because I don’t want to be spoiled but also I have to know more
There isn’t anything. It is an edited 3D model of a pre existing asset and a hollowed out Nintendo switch Unit
@@ScarySkele where did you get this info? not trying to sound rude, just genuinely curious
@@theprotnt596 Compare the hollowed out model to a normal one, looks basically the same including the joy cons. Literally look at both and compare, no sources needed other than my eyes and judgement for one.
Number two, the 3D model leak is clearly 1:1 the original Switch design, look at the bottom, sides, and top of your unit compared and you’ll find it is exactly the same. This is no Switch two, just a made up piece of crap.
May I ask what is your source of the actual images? Where do they come from?
It’s fake
@@ScarySkele oh, its just I haven’t seen the hollowed out 3d model before. Though, I’m pretty sure the models shown here are different, because things like the second usb-c, no rail system, joy-cons and switch being bigger, the joy-cons having different side bars that protrude outwards and bigger sl and sr buttons, and more are shown. the images were originally from a Chinese website which(I think) was from a company that had ties with Nintendo, though I may be incorrect about this. Where I saw the images was where it was mainly found online, in a subreddit about gaming leaks and rumours. The Redditor who shared it was called mrsheeple iirc. Also, the switch 2 is 100% a thing as the president of Nintendo officially tweeted confirming that they will be announcing it.
Edit: oops, I misread your comment when you said” this is no switch two” and read it as “THERE is no switch two”
RGT85 was right all along. 3000 videos later he knew it was coming 😂
Lmao trying to tell us he’s not a Nintendo TH-camr 😂😂
you have to consider, literally in the past year there have been numerous handhelds that have been released and more that are still to come. Until it's officially announced from Nintendo, we can only assume this could be any handheld coming out that is using mock features of a switch. Love the vid, always good topics!
I wonder what the “gimmick” will be. Every Nintendo console or handheld has that one unique feature making it unique. Don’t think the magnetic joy cons is that feature lol.
Looks more like a Switch XL instead of a Switch 2/successor
I’m a historian of European History and I can guarantee that this leak is accurate.
I always expected the Switch 2 to be more ergonomic compared to the original Switch. Nintendo usually prioritizes ergonomics in their products to appeal to a larger market.
While I do think fear about the Wii U’s success does play into this, I do think Nintendo not only knows now, but also (from the leaks) seems to be making sure that this feels like a whole new generation. The Wii U’s console and game pad was hard to work with and 3rd party games were essentially gone from Nintendo because of the complications. This new console seems the exact same, but more powerful and better. I genuinely think Nintendo would have to fumble really hard to not make this work. Sony and Microsoft for the first time in years are starting to sweat.
The second usb port might be because it is a prototype and the devs might find it useful to refine the software
Just let me charge in tabletop mode. With the bigger screen I can see myself using that more.
I want backwards compatibility and more power. IDC if it looks the same
It won't sell well then
@@InnerRise don't make excuses for them
kevin's favorite word "wildfire"
If they just call it the Switch 2, and market the fact that its the next generation rather than just focusing one one single massive gimmick (like the Wii U gamepad), its unlikely people would be confused especially today in 2024 when everyone knows what a PS5 is. The issue with the Wii U is that it looked like an accessory for the Wii, the name itself was confusing and suggested that it was an accessory. The 3DS also confused some people as they thought it was just a DS with 3D, as it wasn’t marketed on its improved hardware until later on.
They haven’t had issues with previous consoles like the Super Nintendo when it comes to marketing the fact that the hardware was improved, and that was so long ago that its not really a relevant way to analyse the modern industry and what would work today. Nintendos had a history of completely throwing away their brand recognition with each generation in a way that makes no sense, Super Nintendo -> Nintendo 64 -> Gamecube -> Wii -> Wii U…? (no wonder people were confused). Hopefully the Switch branding sticks and they just call the next one “Switch 2”.
Those extra joycon buttons could be the release buttons to detach them.
Form factor is key to portability - one reason why the Switch resonated with such a massive market. Nintnedo can't and won't follow PC handhelds route with making these big bulky handhelds and grips.
Its EASY to get accessories to make the grip more comfortable. On the other hand, there's no way to buy an accessory that strinks the system and Joy-Con. So, the safe route is the make it compact as possible - within reason - from the start.
I like the Switch so I’m quite satisfied with just more Switch, but I do hope they take the chance to fix the minor issues the switch has.
Bigger means more real estate for hardware so it must a little better. I just want TOTK with no frame drops and I’ll be happy.
I definitely wish it was something a bit more unique tbh. I'll happily buy one, but it just being a more powerful Switch is a bit disappointing. Doubly so if I turn it on and the UI/menus are just the standard themeless Switch menus. I was hoping for something with a bit more soul like the Wii.
the Nintendo Switch game card platform technically supports flash storage up to 2tb (it is technically loosely based off of standard SD)
so it wouldn't make much more sense for Nintendo to introduce yet another game card platform to replace the original Switch platform.
also, this would allow backwards compatibility with original Switch games.
so what i think Nintendo would probably do, is either they add some plastic tab to the moldings of Switch 2 games that you wouldn't be able to physically fit them inside a Switch 1, but Switch 1 games would still work on Switch 2 consoles.
Nintendo could be banking on Backwards compatibility for the Switch 2 this time around because that would mean that the Switch 2 will already have a HUGE catalog of games available to play right at launch - this can incentivise many people who already have a Switch 1 to sell their Switch 1 and upgrade to a Switch 2.
especially if Nintendo makes a smart move and introduce performance patches for Switch 1 games on Switch 2 (sort of like what Sony did with PS4 games on PS5)
one of my biggest gripes with the Nintendo Switch is that sure it is technically a handheld - but find me a single person who can actually play the switch in handheld mode without getting his hands getting numb.
this is honestly my biggest gripe, because whenever i wanted to play in handheld mode i just ended up playing in tabletop mode instead because it was just much more comfortable - and not always do you actually have a safe place to lay your switch on which kinda defeats the whole purpose of this being a "handheld console".
i think honestly due to this most people probably use their switch mostly in docked mode, unless they got some joycon grips (which btw, why the heck are joycon grips that come with carry case are so bloody expensive?? like 85$? are you fkin kidding me???)
Unconfirmed but I was hoping for a more substantial joycon redesign because current joycons feel super flimsy, and a proper dpad too.
It doesn’t matter how it looks, as long as they call it Switch 2 that’s the clearest indication possible it’s a new system
Honestly the Switch logo with a 2 looks pretty good.
This is about to be another Wii U situation
Leaky leak
The power levels mentioned are purely based upon the raw specification. They don't take him to account the effects of things like DLSS.
3D model was confirmed by the original poster to be a recreation of the physical prototype. The actual prototype console and controllers are from October 2023. We don't know if the poster has a physical backplate for the system, and the top and bottom parts of the tablet are also missing, so the entire design for that in the model may just be guesswork, which is why it looks identical to the OLED unit
I'd be concerned about using the same cartridges, great for backward compatibility but as it is a lot of major publishers have issue getting their games to fit. If the system is more powerful that will lead to bigger game file sizes, and more games not being entirely on cartridge. I hope they've managed to make large cart sizes more easily accessible to publishers.
Switch 2 is the best name
As much as I like the Super Nintendo switch name for nostalgic and historical reasons, switch 2 is the best name branding wise bc it’s clear, concise, and can’t be confused with being a variant of the original
@@extra4542Why not be ballsy and call it the Switch U.
No, it's "Sweatch", scottish is swagy.
Agree with everything that you said, the Switch 2 makes sense and it's what's needed. A "New" Nintendo Switch with better specs, and improvements. People are complaining but they need to understand that two screens was not going to happen, and those who wanted a PS5 Pro-like home only console that doesn't make sense for Nintendo right now. Agree with the ergonomics, it may not be the most comfortable thing for long periods of play but at the same time it helps it to be more portable and regarding the design being similar affecting sales it makes no sense, is exactly as you said, marketing plays a role on that. Physical media support is great and 256 may not be enough for a digital-only library but is a great improvement over the 64 GB of the OLED. Excited! Though I feel like it should have been released early 2024.
Finally a short video about this “news “. Thanks
The thing that worries me is the connection method of the joycons. It appears to have three plug in points, and that seems like a huge potential for connection issues. If they are magnetic that might not be that bad, but I just see the nightmare of a plug not seating or staying connected.
The raised shoulder of the new joycon while kinda ugly is definetly gonna make 2 player games at least a little more comfortable. I also think for backwards compatibility flat joy cons are a must unfortunately. But I mean im sure tons of shells let alone 3rd party controllers will add that. A slicone shell with rubber/plastic grip that can wrap around and come off would be a good idea for nintendo to make as a first party option.
Mobile devices like phones and tablets have looked barely dissimilar for years now, especially after bezels started to disappear, it's why a modern smartphones tend to do emphasise the back design more in marketing now.
Kevin's studio has shrunk a lot and gained an Ikea light
If this is real I’m glad they are keeping the design and format, just scaling it up and increasing the performance. It makes me more hopeful that it is backwards compatible because there is still so many Switch games I haven’t got around to play. And so many games I want to keep playing.
Lots of people are worried it will flop because marketing failures, creating another Wii to Wii U transition, but remember they've done this before with the Nintendo 3DS and the Super Nintendo. As long as they call it something like "Super Switch" or if the joycons "snap" instead of "switch on," maybe they call it something like the Nintendo Snap?
I think a similar design makes a lot of sense for a 'switch 2' similar to their handheld line ex) ds to 3ds gb to gbc and gba etc.
Though I still feel like they will announce something after the holiday season just to allow current stock to die down.
That new button is probably for voice chat.
The brand won't be an issue, Nintendo handhelds always sell well.
Could be
you must have been born after the Wii u.
@franciscogarcia7911 I was born in the 20th Century buddy 👍👍👍
Most disappointing is that it's still the same basic design for the joycon. No proper Dpad, no triggers, no sensible right stick/button placement. I can only really play on the Switch with the pro controller, I absolutely hate the joycon
cant wait for all of the "tHaT jUsT lOoKs LiKe AnOtHeR sWiTcH" like the ps5 doesnt just looks like a ps4 or the ps4 just looks like a more pokwerful ps3 etc
The ps5 looks nothing like the ps4 😭
Wait until you see the "Dock" (NS2 home console)... all the rumors/guesses are WAY off! We're getting Wii-U style gamepad->console wireless connectivity options in NS2. In fact, you'll be able to wirelessly pair up to 4 gen-1 NS or NS2 to the NS2 "dock" for games that utilize the feature. This is why they are still pushing gen-1 NS sales so close to NS2 announcement/release. Think Zelda WW and TP HD ports and why they haven't come to Switch yet.
My guess Is a reveal in October and available on sale by the end of February
The library needs to have some heavy hitters from every genre at launch, imagine for first party we get Zelda, Metroid, Mario and Splatoon to get those people in on day one. For third party start off with Elden Ring as its still selling great and having it handheld would be huge, Black Ops 6, maybe microsoft will make a new Conker for it. Then every age range is targeted
If it ain’t called the Super Nintendo switch, it will be a sad day
"Grain of salt" could mean anything but the way TH-camrs often discuss this stuff is that these leaks are 100% accurate minus a bit of uncertainty but in reality it should be more that we all start at 0% + potential likelihood of this being real. All these rumours have been flakey at best, with disparate connections, and of course you'd expect to see some fakes showing up when everyone gets excited, it happens all the time. In Kevin's defense he's very level headed about it in this video.
Huh. Capture buttons on both joycons so they can record together. Switch 2-gether. 👀
Having the same card slot is big news for backwards compatibility. This could mean you can just put your cards right in and they work
They have to add at least one notable feature beyond a graphics upgrade, or even improved controllers.
This is Nintendo after all, and unlike competitors they strive to release innovative features to “delight” their customers.
Additionally, while life cycles of consoles recently has included mid-life tech bumps. If they don’t differentiate enough from the OLED Switch there will be less hype and interest to buy it.
Looking forward to what they have in store!!
A flat and slimline design for this kind of device also does seem to market better. I think they got a lot of negative feedback regarding the appearance of the Wii U Gamepad. I would appreciate some 'Pro' Joy-Con with grips and a real d-pad.
So i guess the reveal trailer is imminent
Next year

Love the Sea of Stars background
do people still use joycons as joycons? It's been a while since I played something that requires the detached controllers or 2 player games.
Yes they do. People with small kids use the joycon feature all the time.
I find the two-part controller to be generally more comfortable than having one controller for both hands. It’s nice to be able to use my armrests instead of being slouched over with a controller in my lap.
@@jakobr_Yeah, that's why I like the Wii Remotes too. I was able to comfortably walk on the treadmill while playing Xenoblade Chronicles and it was a great way to walk an hour without even noticing. It's nice to be able to naturally move your arms while still being able to play
@@podracer35 I was going to mention the treadmill too, but that might not be the *safest* activity to be doing simultaneously, haha.
Yes, of course. I use handheld and tabletop all the time.
I don’t see why the main body would have NFC capability. There’s no need for it to have that. On the original Switch, the NFC reader is on the left Joycon.
If the system is docked, making the user get up and walk and lean down over to the console to scan an amiibo just to use it is absolutely crazy considering they already had a better system before.
That with the RAM speed being so high is kinda surprising. If it were an AMD based chiplet, it’d make sense. But Nvidia chips don’t tend to benefit much from having faster memory. The memory would be faster, sure. But the main reason a device wants faster memory at that speed is to speed up CPU computational speed but that only works on 3000-series and higher AMD chips. Nvidia just doesn’t work that way.
Gotta say - it's a bit disappointing that everyone's $80 sets of joy-cons won't be able to attach to the Switch 2 if this is true. The new charging stand they released does also support this being the case, and most people have suspected this for a while, but it's still disappointing. There was so much progress with the controller style joy-con replacements, even Mobapad recently releasing their version with hall effect sticks *and* haptics just like the real deals.
Can't imagine how long it'll take for similar products to be developed for the Switch 2...
The double usbc port sold it as real for me. It doesnt feel like something a faker would think of
Its a switch pro ! 😮
Didn't Nintendo state a few months back that the next hardware they are working on is within the Switch family? Which means of course it'll look similar to the Switch. I'm thinking the Switch will be similar to the GameBoy. Which would be great, imo. The GameBoy had the Color, Pocket, Advance, Advance SP, and Micro. All of which could use the previous generation games, but the newer games couldn't be used in the older systems. I'd love a Switch family like this.
kinda wish the ergonomics were improved
The fact that we have these seemingly authentic factory leaks means whoever posted this probably had the files for a little while and posted it now because Nintendo is probably going to make an official unveil very soon.
This is very exciting indeed.
It's good that this Switch 2 will support physical media; seemingly also compatible with Switch games.
I think that means we're going to see it carry over the Switch's online and carry over all digital purchases.
What I'm surprised is that the Switch 2 seemingly is not compatible with SSDs. I was expecting for it to be compatible with M.2 2230 SSDs for user expandable storage.
Yeah same I was hoping it be compatible with internal ssds
The base model being OLED is so GOOD well it has the size for it if the mock ups are true but I doubt they've fixed the drift.
It better have a dual screen, front camera and mic, browser and a media player.

@@jaredf6205 ah yes
I'm most excited for the joycon rails. Hope they fixed the wiggle with the magnets. Need this thing to feel as good as the switch lite.
6:10 its going to be called the Switch On
The button below the Home Button looks like a sleep button because of the crescent moon symbol on it.
It's looks like a blown up Switch Lite with removable joycons
Hopefully nintendo sticks with the saying "if it aint broke, dont fix it" and just make it more powerful and bc
I actually like the design for the switch oled or regular switch. Maybe because I smaller hands overall, but I do agree with the organomics with the design with the current switch.
I don’t think the Wii U thing would repeat. Consumers are more knowledgeable now, and don’t get all their info from first party marketing due to social media. Also, lot more % of gamers are adults now, not adults buying games for their kids and not understanding the difference.
But if there isn’t a way to stream my pc to this switch, I’m just going to buy a pc handheld and emulate everything. My switch would get much more use if it had steam link or moonlight without having to add a mod chip.
USB-C on top for headset dongle (while docked/charging) and other accessories like a camera. Was an issue with original Switch, so great if real.
At first I thought “man, Nintendo is going to be mad! But the more I think about it, waiting and “letting it leak” is actually kind of brilliant! EVERYONE is talking about it, EVERYONE is looking for it and now there is FREE marketing without even having to reveal the system! Perhaps this is part of their plan, and we’re looking at an October reveal.
It would be life changing to charge from the top lol
If it’s the size of a Nitro deck but smaller than a Steamdeck, 256gb and powerful as a PS4- Series S that will be more than enough. Really hoping a lot of this comes out to be true.
This just looks like a pro version of the switch
It would be really funny if this was just a switch pro finally.
As a wise man once said, “ It’s a race between Nintendo and a Chinese warehouse worker as to who shows off the switch to first”
If I can play my existing library with solid smooth frame rates and better battery life I’m there.
I still don't believe they'd be magnetic. Much less, electro magnetic. Electro magnets eat up a ton of power, and it would be too much of a risk to have magnetic joycons. One good jolt, and you'd be left holding the joycons and have a broken screen on the floor. It makes no sense.
man we need some PSP leaks too 😭
Back then I didn't know the Wii U was a seperate console, Even my brother-in-law that could afford consoles, back then, didn't realize what it was for a couple of years. So the Wii U was a marketing mistake more then a naming one at least at launch. Of course then low saturation lets problems with the console be reasons not to buy. I mean think about how many problems the Switch actually has. If it didn't blow up at launch those problems would have easily become reasons to pass on the console.
Everyone is saying the next switch should just be a more powerful switch, but I disagree. There is a way to make it much better than that. They should make a unibody design (no removable joycons) that could plug into the tv. The unibody design will make portable mode much more comfortable (think switch lite) and then docked mode would just be the same it is now, minus removable joycons. We all have joycons at this point, and, if we wanted to play that way, could simply pair them. I think most people prefer an actual pro controller anyway for docked mode. And we wouldn’t have table top mode, but who really cares about that anyway.
Splatoon 4 on the new switch 2!!
Ah yes, the **NEW** Nintendo Switch XL
If that is the design of the joycons, I am very disappointed yet again. The feel of the official Joycon for the original Switch really sucks. I had to get aftermarket ones that are way more ergonomic and feels much better for more comfortable and longer gaming sessions. But they looks basically look the same, just bigger. Oh well. I will just have to wait for better aftermarket ones again like you said. And especially if they have the same easy drift Joysticks. Aftermarket ones are much better in that department as well.
I love my Switch but I'm so ready for this!
I don’t like it, I wanted a DS like console. But I suppose it’s difficult to make a hybrid console with two screens.
two screens also is abit of a problem for many developers unless Nintendo allows them to have the option to use only one screen
@@fishingmaster69 I think two screens will only be good for when Nintendo decides to have Nintendo DS games in their shop. Also, the extra screen attachment may be something sold separately and it may let you play physical copies of DS games.
All I want is better battery life and I want more games to be able to be played on the system and that’s all I care about
