Kamiya is awesome 😂 He has said all his tweets are half-joking, it’s meant to be comedic. And he’s not talking about ppl who talk about the leaks, but rather the actual leakers. The genkis and other accessory makers or the next handheld guy who are just doing this stuff with clout.
Hideki Kamiya one of my top 3 devs in the industry today (Koizumi and Mikami being the other two). Whether you love him or hate him, the guy speaks his mind in an era where everyone likes to be offended by everything and mince their words. . . also helps that he creates some damn good I.P. I respect it.
Nintendo should be thankful the leaks were so bad. TBH, the reveal was very underwhelming. Nothing special and no weird “Nintendo” ideas that shocked us. If we didn’t already have our expectations in line due to the leaks, I’d bet they’d be getting dumped on about the Switch 2 being a boring upgrade.
you only think that because it WAS leaked so shut up, if it had remained unspoiled and this was the first time we saw the console like it SHOULD'VE been I guarantee comments like yours would not be a thing.
Some commentors are gonna miss the point of Switch2, you're judging downstream from the prism of specs. The selling point of this is 1) hybrid 2) joycon control scheme 3) 1st party games. Even if Nintendo were to port games onto other handhelds, a lot wouldn't work. While some conventional games can work just fine, a huge % of their games are designed to utilize the motion features of the joycons.
I feel relieved that everything the leakers said turned out to be correct. Especially the details on the mouse. The way those joy-cons were sliding with the wrist straps mimicking the tail of a mouse made me chuckle. It’s just too bad that the leakers had to go and ruin the element of surprise, but that’s the world we live in now. This presentation felt almost like an Apple commercial. Very sleek and professional.
Kamiya needs ro relax and Meditate! 😂 Secrecy is such an outdated way of doing things, yeah don't tell everything but the leaks generated more hype than the 2:22 minute video. Thats why Nintendo could make it so short. Hype was pre set.
I was talking to a friend about it. Then in my feed I see OJ’s big smile on his face about Switch 2! Then 4 hrs ago I see postings of official S2 content! I shared that with everyone I could! I’m very excited I now just hope I can get it as soon as possible and not have to wait 2 months after launch like the OG Switch.
Scalping should be illegal, it's ridiculous that it isn't. It's a problem with every new console launch so I have no reason to believe that it won't be with the Switch 2. I'm rooting for Nintendo to deter scalpers, but I'll believe it when I see it with my own eyes.
I think the stats show that people are far more aware of new products than they once were. People like to say that we're the minority, diehard crowd, but I think gaming isn't nearly as niche as it used to be, and that the general consumer is a lot more educated.
People better get used to it. As technology advances so will the leaks, the piracy, the hacking, will be more common place then ever before. Feels like Deus Ex in real time.
Nintendo is historically bad at underproducing products at launch. It often seems intentional and they’ve been accused of doing it to create FOMO hype. Amiibos, NES/SNES mini’s, collectors editions, wireless controllers…… I’d be shocked to see them actually do something to prevent scalping.
Will be interesting to see what games will be apart of that April Direct because it's also not far off from June/July where they usually have their summer showcases. Unlike the OG Switch launch, Nintendo will have much more to pick and choose what they want to showcase for the reveal, summer and fall Direct. I expect Mario Kart, Metroid Prime 4 and 3D Mario to be their biggest 1st party games at the April Direct. I think ports of Zelda WW/TP, Fire Emblem, Pokemon and Monolith Soft's new project get revealed later in the year. From 3rd parties, I hope to see some of those rumored games (FF7 Remake/Rebirth, Metaphor, Metal Gear Solid, Tekken, etc.) get confirmed.
The leaks 100% impacted my excitement for the Switch 2 reveal. Makes me want to stop following game news and media influencers as much as I do. I don't care about Nate the Hates news. You be you OJ.
I am so happy that Nintendo are taking an evolution approach rather than revolution. The Switch is a powerful brand, and it feels like Nintendo have found a product line than can span several generations. Keep it simple and iterate hardware, release amazing software......this is all i wanted. and a switch lite 2 will be nice.
If I’m being honest I found the reveal a little underwhelming, purely from the fact that I was hoping for something that shows Nintendos penchant for innovation. However I do like the fact that all of your switch games get carried over and (if the leaks are true) it looks like it will be a powerful piece of kit. I’m expecting games like Elden Ring, RDR2 and dare I say it maybe even GTA 6? Which would be great!!
Let's not count out the possibility of some NS2 patches for the Xenoblade Chronicles series. All I need from Atlus for NS2 is Persona 6 and Metaphor. Anything else is gravy.
Great video from you as always OJ🫶🏿! Kamiya is wild for what he said geez👍🏿! But leakers can be bad so I do understand👍🏿. It will definitely be very nice to watch all of your very wholesome Nintendo Switch 2 content🫶🏿. It has been lovely and great watching all your various Nintendo and Japanese video game videos over the years ever since I first found you back in early 2017🫶🏿. And it definitely will be nice to see scalpers get stopped a bit more🫶🏿👍🏿.
Don't matter if scalpers buy a thousand each Nintendo is ready this time! As a matter of fact they are hoping for scalpers to buy a ton so this way customers will still be able to get them but scalpers will buy a ton hoping to pull a profit that just won't happen this round lol .
Make sure to buy one first day to avoid any shortahes and scalpers after. This makes my day and a nice early birthday 🎂 🥳 surprise! Lets gooo! Hype over the roof. Cant wait for April!😮😮😮
@Zaelthifrex don't know what your talking about but I'm free to speak the truth fanboy, what you think it's gonna have rog or Lenovo specs? Get real bruh
Can’t we just order an NS2 online straight from Nintendo? It’s 2025, the internet is NOT a new thing anymore. Wouldn’t that scalp the “scalpers”? Nintendo can limit the amount of consoles that can be purchased by any 1 individual to like 3 per person per month of something?
People who facilitate the leaks are just that yeah. Bin juice. Spoil the surprise for all of us. I'll be buying my Switch 2 from Nintendo Directly. Can be sure they will require a Nintendo Account sign in, One per customer, priority to NSO Members, Expansion pack getting first dibs. (One per customer per residential address) I can see that being implemented in the first few months of launch. Or.... it may not happen at all.
I’m more looking forward to the February direct. I’m not too interested in Switch 2 at launch. None of the launch games will be my kind of thing, and if you wait 3 months the third party launch games will be half to 2/3 cheaper. 🤷♂️
Sorry oj but you wont be stopping any scalpers or bots on this, with the amount of hype surrounding this major release is gonna be insanse, maybe later cause of no covid or shortages of chipsets but day 1 preorders? Nah you better be on it cause bots are waiting.
I don't know, man. After the woke disaster that was Fire Emblem Engage, I don't really trust them to do right by FE, even with remakes/remasters. The art wasn't good, the story wasn't up to par AT ALL, the OC player character was so ugly with that red and blue combo, the OC's personality was maddeningly beta, all of the other characters were overly creepy and culty, and had about as much personality as a piece of cardboard, the bad guys were evil just for the sake of being evil. Gods, that game was so horrible. I never want to see another one like it. ☕🤦🏻♀ -L🌘E
Not excited as I know I would've been. It only makes me think what could have been if the leaks didn't happen. It makes it hard for the next meme Nintendo person to exist.
I hate scalpers more than leakers
Don't hate scalpers. Hate the people who GIVE SCALPERS A REASON TO EXIST.
You be ight
@@figuredrawing4912 no hate scalpers.
@@figuredrawing4912 yep! Don't hate scalpers at all. That is capitalism. Hate the people who buy from them because they are so desperate.
both are 💩
Hopefully we will be able to preorder directly from Nintendo with an established Nintendo account
Absolutely. Expansion pass members should get first dibs.
1:16 Kamiya is 1,000% CORRECT. Yes, it's WAY over the top hyperbole, but dirty leakers are dirty leakers.
Kamiya is awesome 😂

This has to be the most mild console reveal ever lol I was just like “oh ok”
But do you feel that way because if the leaks? Cause that’s why I feel that way.
@@ryanpledger9333 ignore him. His username is "Playstation for King"😅😅😅
Kamiya is right! I bet Nintendo wanted to announce the system next month, but the leakers, like always, ruining everything!

They just revealed the system. There is so much more we don’t even know. Just chill. 🤦🏽♂️😂
Kamiya has everyone blocked 🤣
not if i dont have twitter (big brain time)
He probably blocked me and I never even had a Twitter account.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW. O_O
I know the Japanese tend to be intolerant of secret breakers but this is beyond insane. Thank god I wasn't a leaker. :(

Okami 2 with mouse controls!? for painting perhaps? Can't wait for XCX:DE and MP4.
I couldn't care less about leaks. I'd rather devs get fired up about crunch or layoffs.
Even with the leaks, I was still very excited to see the official reveal. It didn’t make much of a difference to me.

How about People with NSO can pre-order one unit through NSO. 🤔
Damn, was Hideki Kamiya typing while high!?!? 🤣🤣
they have no excuse not to patch Mortal Kombat 1 for when running on Switch 2.

I like how Walmart did it. Instore preorders mainly. I did not have an issue getting my switch. Definitely buying day one.

That dude is full of pure evil…what over gaming leaks?
Mario KArt 9 with TRACK MAKER supporting the mouse support! And Mario Maker with mouse support! They gotta do it!
Nice! I was waiting for your video.
Good video, OJ. There is so much hype in the air right now!

Who cares what that psychopath says.

The mystery c button will leave everyone guessing awhile. First was maybe voicechat.😮😮
Just as well with a date of 2/4/25, because if it was April 1st, I wouldn't believe it.
He's talking to all of yall
Hideki Kamiya made a JoJo reference with that tweet that probably went over most people's heads.
Which Char was this one again
Thank you OJ, your perspective is on point !!! cant believe were so close to the launch.
My prediction October or November release for Switch 2. So Switch 1 might be around for a bit. I do expect at least 1 more direct for Switch 1.
Great video from you as always OJ🫶🏿! Kamiya is wild for what he said geez👍🏿! But leakers can be bad so I do understand👍🏿.

I think were gonna see a new etrian odyssey game. They've been working on a new one for a couple of years now.

i also don't like leaks things get spoiled at all because i always love to be surprise that's just my honest opinion
LMAO. That Kamiya rant was hilarious.
Make sure to buy one first day to avoid any shortahes and scalpers after. This makes my day and a nice early birthday 🎂 🥳 surprise! Lets gooo! Hype over the roof. Cant wait for April!😮😮😮
Japanese do despise spoilers, it's just their culture lol
Will tariffs make switch out of nintendos usual affordable range? Would nintendo take the L, if tariffs on China/foxcom are high?
New Mario will be based on bowser furry
we are long due a new DK game, i hope this is a year 1 release.
I predict an April Treehouse after the Direct.
Considering then "in person" events shortly after, that would be yes. Roms might be available by then anyways.
Metroid 2 will be a launch title... watch. Great content as always OJ.
Technically it is Okami 3. 😁
I feel ya OJ. I've been on cloud 9 all day😶🌫️
This is why we can't have nice things
Wasnt excited at all at the reveal, still a generation behind for waiting so long
We literally don't even know the specs yet and your already hating. That's actually grassless behavior.
@Zaelthifrex don't know what your talking about but I'm free to speak the truth fanboy, what you think it's gonna have rog or Lenovo specs? Get real bruh
@@shawnsmith564 and yet it will sell better than both. Yes, Nintendo has outdated hardware, but the software sells them.
Scalpers are the worst type of ppl
Can’t we just order an NS2 online straight from Nintendo? It’s 2025, the internet is NOT a new thing anymore. Wouldn’t that scalp the “scalpers”? Nintendo can limit the amount of consoles that can be purchased by any 1 individual to like 3 per person per month of something?
as much as people think and wanna say it companies don't really care about anything being scalped a sale to them is a sale
I just hope for smooth gameplay on the eshop… 😂

Tell me when Kamiya-san's telling lies.
Wonder if Mario next big game has donkey Kong into in the jungle
Im seeing the same mario from before, looks like super mario kart 8, there is no draw distances just upgrades.
BRO it's just a game console....chillllll o.O
Good to hear they have a better stock plan in place to counteract scalping given the fever pitch for Switch 2 will be insane after April 2nd.
Sorry oj but you wont be stopping any scalpers or bots on this, with the amount of hype surrounding this major release is gonna be insanse, maybe later cause of no covid or shortages of chipsets but day 1 preorders? Nah you better be on it cause bots are waiting.

Woah 🤯
