I am low key annoyed that leaks ruined what was to come, but to get official confirmation is satisfying. It's beautiful! Looks like it will be able to withstand a lot of power, the backwards compatibility is a SWEET plus, the all black design is really nice, and I'm all in on a new Mario Kart (which looks pretty... different! Yoshi in the Wild West?) I'm pretty excited for it.
they will look the same the only difference is that the games will finally run how they were supposed to on the first switch lol Nintendo fans still getting scammed blindly its great
The bezels look big because the attach mechanism is different. The joy-cons are closer to the screen (since there's no rail system). Meaning that part of the joy-cons is "hidden" inside the tablet itself, so the tablet needs to have that space for it, but if you look at the current Switch oled, the space between the joy-con buttons and the lit screen itself is basically the same
Yeah, I mean... it's basically what any other company would consider a "mid-generation" upgrade. Slightly more power, slightly updated features, and that's really about it. I hadn't even seen any of the leaks and even still, this has barely nudged my interest meter.
Notice how the Switch 2 can go extremely low, almost flat, with the U stand? Deliberate? "C" is for cast, to provide Wii U functionality with flattened screen? Doesn't show the "C" in video?
they will look the same the only difference is that the games will finally run how they were supposed to on the first switch lol Nintendo fans still getting scammed blindly its great
For default joycons that come with the console I’m fine with that, but I would like an official Nintendo joycon with a d pad we can buy separately. Still holding out hope for that
3rd party made some good larger pivot-D-Pads you can mount on your Switch 1, also have some larger famicom color buttons that give the feel of larger raised buttons.
@@rfitzpatrick723yes, I would love some first party, alternate configs with larger ergo grip joy cons, large Saturn-style 8-microswitch rolling d-pad, and six large face buttons on the opposite joycon lol

I think we are going to see a pretty powerful chipset under the hood - arm chips have come a LONG way and seeing RDR2 and FF7 remake is completely possible.
The “racing” thing could just be doing something interesting with the joy one for a trailer. HOWEVER, it’s the notches in the wrist strap that really matter. There is no reason for not having a straight bar where the whole joycon lays flat to a surface. It purposefully has notches so part of the controller is elevated. This is so the mouse sensor can function properly by having some room.
Has anyone noticed in the clip where Nintendo states that the Switch 2 plays exclusive games. The switch 2 in the clip has the colour white and grey behind the joysticks instead of blue and orange🧐🧐
@@timoftelucian4635 It should be DDMMYY for everyone. 30/31 Days in a Month. 12 Months in a Year. Days-> Months-> Years. See Americans, it actually makes sense this way! Lol
Rumors say they are hall effect joysticks. So im confident with no tokyo drift happening there. However I could see on this trailer when the joycon attached to the body (with the snap sound effects) it is only magnetized and does not lock. The body's male contact points are fully exposed as well. Thats a very big bummer right there. They should have made the joycon's contact points male recessed instead of female since joycons can be replaced.
With how much was leaked they has know choice to drop the trailer. Lets hope they don't rush this release and it doesn't come out with bugs galore. Really hope they make sure the battery life is fit for purpose too. Please don't just be JUST Mario Kart as well. Need to release with a good roaster of games.
Well we’ve learned that the average consumer is an idiot apparently and can’t determine the difference if the name isn’t 1-2-3 apparently so I guess they wanna avoid that. Like the Wii U and Xbox One/Series problem.

Curious if any new features on the dock. 4 hopes for Switch 2, (1) the drift issue is resolved. (2) Memory expansion is faster. (3) Switch OG games can get a boost for those that had frame lag (either option for automatically, or through dev intervention - optimization via software updates) (4) Expanded internal memory.
I wanna know next why do I need this one? This will never happen, but an idea to make things easy would be to trade your old Switch for two Switch 2 exclusive games. That’d be an outside the box hook that no one has tried.
@@aganbraganca4156 Right, that is true. We're gonna have to wait and see how this thing will perform. But I kinda doubt it's gonna run like a Steam Deck, but if Nintendo can make it run like/better than the Steam Deck or any other powerful handheld devices, wouldn't that put Nintendo on top?

Us: Thank you, we haven't had a new Nintendo console since 2017
About the "Mouse" thing. This could be a new feature. Nintendo loves new niche features. Imagine like an air hocky game using this technology
Imagine point and click adventures
Imagine 2 player arcade shooters.
as a pc player it is kinda great. there is nothing as annoying to play a shooter with shitty analog sticks.
The Super Nintendo had a mouse. I remember as a kid playing Mario Paint.

Lovely looking unit, I like how it’s all black with new subtle colours on the sticks. Hopefully hall effect too! Now we just need the specs…
Making the JoyCons into mice is genius
I'm seeing a lot of complaints in the comments, which means the switch 2 is going to have no problems selling whatsoever.
It looks okay. Not enough to get me excited yet, but I'll definitely buy one.
This is the first time in history that Nintendo has taken the number approach, like Switch 2 after 1!
I’ll be honest. I wasn’t blown away. It’s pretty much what I was expecting. It’s cool. I’ll probably get one but I’m not shitting myself over it.

Am I the only one who’s underwhelmed with this reveal?
I hope they drop soon like they did with the Switch once it was announced.
No dpad, no Oled, no ergonomic additions, kinda don't like the bezels, and no mention of hall sticks or triggers but hey, I do like snappy magnets 👀👀
When I saw that some Switch games weren’t compatible I presumed every game that has a built in exploit.
The bezels are huge imo, I hope the screen is oled too or at least offer an oled version at launch
More like the switch shuffle. That’s what it reminded me of

Mario kart looks exactly the same as the last. I guess minimal graphics boost? Thats a tad of a bummer but not seeing a huge reason to upgrade.
It’s not the kind of game to showcase a graphics capability but it’s confirmed to be much more powerful. Think ps4/ps4pro
