What they need to do is carry over everything that worked with the Switch, make the catridge based games compatible, make all digital purchases compatible, but just improve the hardware to be more capable in terms of having locked 60 fps, 1080p, faster load times, hall effect sensor analog sticks (or user upgradeable analogs), and actual d-pad on the controller. If they can do that then I think existing Switch owners will upgrade and many new gamers will get one and probably Switch games too. If they can also go with a QLED or Mini LED display, drastically more battery life, and more internal storage (maybe even going with NVMe), that'd attract the more 'hardcore' games. It's a given that they should keep that portable-docking aspect.

Excited to see how you guys looked on the new specs and how it may run.

I just hope that I'll be able to grab one of the launch models without having to deal with scalpers (PS5 and Series X had issues with initial sales due to scalpers and the supply chain being affected by the pandemic). It'd be neat if Nintendo gave an option to purchase directly from them for those who already have a Nintendo Account by XX/YY/ZZZZ date like how Valve handled the Steam Deck. That being said, there would be some supply chain issues if they did that since there are a TON of alt accounts that a single user could have (I have three accounts on my Switch due to region specific e-Shop titles and DLC, for example).

They didn't confirm anything, they just said "we'll talk about that subject later", bet the day comes and they just say "we don't have a next console planned"

I don’t think “software wasn’t ready.” Chances are, we’re going to have a Mario Kart and 3D Mario either at launch or launch window. Neither the Mario Kart nor 3D Mario EPD teams at Nintendo have put out any games since 2017. Mario Kart games used to launch once every 3 years or so, and 3D Marios pre-Odyssey used to take 2-3 years to make (Odyssey took 3-4 years). I know that game development takes longer and becomes more costly as the hardware gets better. However, by the time we get to 2025, both these teams will have been working silently for close to 8 years… MORE than enough time to account for the jump in hardware capabilities.

There were leaks in hardware updates that hinted at a second display support. I think this gimmick could be "Stream Play", as an evolution of DS and 3DS's Download Play; only that, instead of sending a "demo" to a DS or 3DS, you're actually streaming a second screen to another Switch. Of course this would be very taxing so not every game would support it, but your first-party multiplayer games will.

Does anyone know if Linneman has given his view on the Steam Deck OLED?

Does any one want something other than a Switch 2.0? It's a good concept, and can't really be improved on conceptually, at least in no way I can think of. Just give us better hardware and backwards compatibility and I think most people will be happy. And maybe it can play older games at higher performance levels.

The PS Portal LCD is quite good. I would hope for it to be at least as good as that one, but OLED would be even better!

Wild speculation on my part. What if the switch 2 is essentially two separate systems. That the dock is more than just a dock, it contains additional hardware. So you can get 4K game performance at home on your television, and play the same games on the handheld portion, just in 720p with lower graphical settings .

Memory system both RAM and storage with the unified architecture and Arm based SoC is VERY IMPORTANT and it's great to see they opt for DDR5X variant. I think there is also more performant 8500 model out there already, but probably more expensive than 7500 and Nintendo is not like Sony or M$ and always want to make profit on their consoles. It they would think as competition we would see an amazing next gen handheld even better for what they r going for. Screen should be OLED already, but once again because of costs they will continue with the LCD but good OLED would be a huge improvement. Seeing old Nvidia Ampere cores is also kind of a bummer, but maybe it fits they needs and they don't need the latest ones, still it would be nice to see them.

The Switch, despite being extremely limited, had incredible ports such as The Witcher 3, Dark Souls, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, Nier Automata, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Hogwarts Legacy, Alien Isolation, Mortal Kombat 11, Hellblade, Doom Eternal and Wolfenstein 2, if the rumor of the Switch 2 specs is real I believe that support for third party games will be even better as the hardware gap will be much smaller. I just wonder what Nintendo will be able to do with this hardware, if they managed things like Xenoblade X and Breath of the Wild on Wii U and also Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Xenoblade 3 on Switch, just imagine what they will be capable with a console that will supposedly be more powerful than the PS4 in portable mode and close to the PS4 Pro/Xbox Series S in Dock mode.

the only reason why they use lpddr5 is because of they are handheld. and looking for battery life more. but they could have use their gamecube approach, using several type of memory for different tasks. something xbox series x use. so they culd go with 8GB of LPDDR5 so they could drop voltage to 0.5 or even 0.3 volts if its idling. and then use a separate 4Gb gddr6 for the vram. which only fires up when the graphics is load up. and force it to merely use the main system LPDDR5 and CPU render when browsing menus and idling desktop(or handheld-top screen or whatever) screen. but the memory size show they arent expecting to compete with the likes of steamdeck. so the focus probably still the same type of lightweight games or a heavily dialed down graphics configuration type of games. meaning, you wont see many type of games that are available in many other platforms. it would be nintendo specific things. well, the reason why im never a fan. and the chances of them reviving "joanna dark' is getting minuscule and more minuscule.

I can't believe I own almost all of the Switch first-party games and have finished not one Switch game. I'm looking forward to the next Switch, though.

They literally said they won't in the tweet. Doing otherwise would be lying to investors.

The only gimmick that makes sense to me - not that they'll necessarily do it - is bringing back the second screen. Theoretically it should be possible if they're using DLSS (which they should be). It's really the only think preventing them from putting DS, 3DS and Wii U games on there as-is (there are obviously ways to port them, but if they can just emulate them, that means they can put out more at once).

I just hope that they do make it fully backwards compatible with the current switch.

The selling point is easy don't overthink it like if it were a PS5 or an Xbox. Here's Switch 2, backwards compatible with Switch games and all the new Nintendo games are only available to Switch 2. Nothing else to think about to get people to buy it.

GameCube still my favorite console till today ♥️ If it only would have had DVD and Nintendo not canceling online… Still, sich a great System with awesome Games

I for one want the gamecube of Nintendo switches also

I'm more excited for the Switch 2 then I am for the PS5 pro.. I just hope the S2 launches with a oled model? I'll probably buy both Oled and LCD models.🤗

I haven’t felt excited for Nintendo in years now. The novelty f handheld hybrid wore out for me with steam deck and PS portal. I hope to be surprised!

Chances of a Switch3D? Switch with a larger 3DS style screen would be an eye popper

0 chances nintendo described the switch successor as "Switch next model" which means that it's going to be another switch.

Maybe Ninty will find a way to make the docked Switch 2 considerably more powerful that when the Switch 2 is "undocked". Of course it will have to look more modern and refined in every way, the joycons and all. Also it would be nice to get a truly pocketable Switch, smaller than the Lite.

​@TonyKanameKuran 1920x1080 would be overkill in handheld. 1600x900p at most. Increased resolution requires more power meaning lower battery life. Most mobile games do not run at native resolution for this very reason. I would expect it to be able to output a 4K signal when docked. But I don't expect it to be the main target because it's a dockable handheld. At most 1080p which is still fine resolution target imo.

@@Ozzianman Not according to Samsung. If they have decided to create a 1080p screen instead of a primitive 720p screen, it would be much more reliable. Think about the future.

Is the Switch also the first time it didn't have a handheld competitor? Like Sony didn't put out a PSP since the Vita. So it makes sense that everyone would buy a Switch? Theres nothing else to buy. (Other than handheld PCs)

The Super Switch will lean into the 3DS library to carry the momentum forward like they did with Wii U games in order to pad their library of games.

It will be called the SwitchDeck!

@@ShadowLady1 I'm more so trying to say whats possible even with current standards. If the switch can do that with 8 GB ram, then the switch 2 withs it's better everything should be able to match/surpass anything emulators can do (since it will have ray tracing support.).

everyone wants it, i've been critical of the 1st switch outdated hardware when i bought it and , even if the oled switch is a little bump in specs (mostly from node shrink) have to say all the devs that ported games fo work on it's system made an incredible job working within the very limited constraints , and it's actually where a dev's and creator in the space of video game excels, when they have limited / power / memory constraints to have to juggle with ingeniosity around the limitations.

Did anyone else the April fools virtual boy ad? That could be the new gimmick or bring back 3D like the DS

When thinking about the next Switch, we have to start with the current Switch as a base, not compare it to PS4 or Series S. Taking into consideration everything that we know so far, I just hope that Nintendo does not put a bad LCD screen on it and does not downlock everything too badly for the sake of battery life.

I just barely noticed that Richard is using USB mic. pretty good quality but why does he have a USB mic

Wow, this sounds really powerful! Maybe it might be as powerful as the PS4! Bah. What am I saying, maybe it'll be next gen after that for that level of power on a Nintendo system...

I don't think Sony should be in a rush for a PS6. I feel like it's a case of diminishing returns now for visuals and power vs price ratio. The kind of jump from PS1 to PS2 is not happening anymore. What video games are capable of seems to be maturing. PS5 already feels more like a PS4 Pro than a generational leap, whilst the PS4 felt marginally better than a PS3. Video games also now take so long to make. Console cycles may have to be longer in turn to compensate for the lack of heavy titles.

Nintendo is taking too long to release the switch 2, by the time they release it on 2025 it would be only a year before Microsoft release their next gen console if they launch it in 2026 and we may see the PS6 in 2027 making the switch 2 a generation behind just like the Wii U was when the ps4/xbox one were out
