Nintendo Switch 2 finally officially revealed

“Revealed”….

Lol. I did put my money on "barely distinguishable from the Switch 1, maybe bigger". I guess I win the betting pool.

I'm mainly happy because I didn't want to be tempted to support Nintendo's lawsuit happy asses, anyway.

If they ever release a Virtual Boy Mini, my conscience will never recover from my own hypocrisy, though.

Retro compatibilty probably powered by Yuzu ?

I'm an og Nintendo hype veteran from the days of N64. This is the first where I ignored all the rumors. I am not impressed also not disappointed.

My question is the dock an eGPU?

I bought a game on switch for like 40 bucks that ended up being really bad, and tried to get it refunded within about two hours of purchase, after about thirty minutes of play time. Couldn't get the refund.

Ever since, I was VERY slow to buy anything, because, what if it's unexpectedly bad? I have to know I mean it, otherwise I shouldn't buy it. I want to buy a game, not flush money down the toilet.

So, now I kind of just don't want a Switch 2.

I’ll wait for the OLED model, because apparently this isn’t it.

Thoroughly whelmed

Can't wait... for a Switch 2 emulator

So much for Nintendo's previous naming conventions. I was really hoping for the New Super Nintendo Switch U.

Looks starkly.... Non-Nintendo-y?
I dunno, changing from the full colored joycons to black with accents and more rounded corners caught me off guard. This looks like a handheld from GPD or ONEXPLAYER

This blog post is worthless. A direct link to the official video announcement would be better.

Can't help but be a little disappointed. The last few consoles have all been pretty drastically different, but this is just the Switch released again. Only with different connections so you need all new accessories.

Yuzu 2 when

Hoping they add Hall effect sensors and eliminate drift once and for all

Will this still play switch 1 games? (Physical cartridges)

Cool for Nintendo fans but the ROG Ally has changed the game for me. I’ll miss Pokémon but they haven’t been good in a while so whatever.

Was kinda hoping for specs. I like the design upgrade, though.

Okay so they just made it slightly bigger. I don't know how to feel on the joycons, though. Like with them just being held by that connector alone on either side, doesn't make me think they'll be as secure.

I wouldn't really call this an ushering of a new generation, this just feels more like an suped up Switch model.

At least you'll be able to play nearly all Switch games on it so nothing is that drastic.

The rumor is that the price is going to be $450 for just the console and $500 for the console with Mario Kart bundled. May or may not be true, but it's certainly plausible given how expensive electronics have gotten since 2017. I was thinking of pre-ordering after the Apr. 2 Direct, but if that price is accurate I'll look into getting a Steam Deck instead. A lower price was the biggest advantage the original Switch had.

Well, it's a bigger, better Switch alright...

A little bit underwhelming hardware-wise. Extra joycon L/R don't seem like they'll factor in much in most singleplayer docked or handheld settings. (I guess those aren't new buttons.. .) The mouse thing (if that's what they're showing) is somewhat interesting and helps to keep touch controls relevant when docked. Top USB port, sure. Backwards compatibility is great news. Screen is...?

As always with Nintendo I think it comes down to the games. Mario Kart 9 hasn't blown me away just yet, but we've barely seen anything at all so...

To be continued in April, i guess.

I prefered colorful joycons, but I'm also glad that, there is audio jack port.

Why would the keep this right joystick sooooooo low! I can't play the switch.

I really don't like the logo. I know why the logo looks that way considering the Wii U branding debacle, but still.

The trailer was pretty cool and I liked the bigger screen. I can't wait to see more of what they will reveal.

And backwards compatible games? That's gonna be a money saver for sure!

Let's go! I'm excited for hardware that will run Pokemon Violet/Scarlet at a non-dog shit framerate (other than pirating).

Has Nintendo even released a game since that second Zelda game, or are they too busy suing people?

The joycon sliding on the table, is that a mouse-mode? @1:11 in the reveal trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itpcsQQvgAQ

I hope this hardware will stand a chance playing no man's sky. After the freighters were introduced the switch just couldn't handle it

Nintendo Switch 2 such a bad name

Still can’t ditch the lcd eh?

Yes!!! I hops Ring Fit is backwards compatible!
