Gallery: Here's A Closer Look At The Switch 2 Console And Accessories

I'm ready to purchase a Switch 2 Camera and play some spicy Uno. Wait...what?

Will the original pro controller be compatible with switch 2 ?

New Switch 2 pro controller announced. So glad I did not replace my launch model a few weeks ago...

@AJ1,

I would say yes.

@AJ1 Yes it will. And original joycons can be synced also.

@Magician,

Knowing Nintendo there will be some software built in to make sure it's only your face you are sharing. Not a bad idea imho.

I wonder if the switch 2 dock will work with the original switch. 🤔

@Greatluigi : I hope so.

@AJ1 : I imagine it will, but may vary on a game-by-game basis.

@Olliemar28 the Nintendo Today app has a 3D viewing of the console. You can rotate horizontally / vertically.

I’ll be pre-ordering for day 1 purchase. I’ll go with the Mario Kart bundle.

I wonder if we can call it a 'Beast' now. Maybe it's still too early until multiplatform comparisons are made, but it surely packs a big price... I can't really imagine a world where 8 people use 8 Switches 2 to play wirelessly, but it's possible if there's passion for it lol

I imagine they'll eventually release a Switch 2 Lite or something, but as it stands now that size is the most appropiate considering its bulk. Would you buy an iteration without the dock?

Dope steering wheel. Have any of you played MK8 with it? Do you like playing that way?

Anything about the haptics?

Switch 2 camera….this console generations Xbox kinect. At least it isn’t bundled with the console, but that thing is gonna go over about as well as a virtual boy.

I'm surprised there isn't a choice of colours.

We never really got to see the UI or new themes? It did look like Basic White is an option again though.

@BiscuitCrumbsInMyBed Yeah, I'm surprised they never mentioned anything about that. It makes me think there's not a major difference to HD Rumble. Surely they would have mentioned it if there is.

Can’t wait to see one in Zelda gold! (Please don’t make me wait 5 years Nintendo. I want this system soon. )

Posted this in anothe article but its applicable here so:
Wait so no analogue triggers? How will that work with the gamecube games on nso then? Please dont tell me I have to buy their gamecube controller too. If that's the case nah fam I'm out.

@Magician

Uno on Xbox Live was wild right?

I pressed my C button by accident... sorry you saw me without pants. I'm assuming that the dock has 2 USB on the side of it?

@N8tiveT3ch

No usb on the side as you have one at top of switch console now.

@dazzleshell then what is that little lip in one of the pics on the side?

@N8tiveT3ch

Maybe it does then. Unless they are air holes?

@dazzleshell looking at the overview trailer...the way it pulls air and vents; it does not look like vent holes. It might be USB.

@OorWullie Probably right. They would have mentioned it.

Disappointing really considering Nintendo was the first to feature rumble in the 64 controller

@OorWullie
Go to nintendo.com - there you can see the UI

Looks as comfortable and ergonomic as a plank to hold. 💢🤚⚡️

@AJ1 Yes, according to the compatibility rundown on the official site, SW2 is compatible with SW1 pro controllers and joycons.

No VRR from dock, no Hall Effect/TMR joysticks, an purchasable external camera...what year is this?

We got Nintendo'd y'all.

@OrtadragoonX Exactly, is Nintendo ready for the lawsuits from people exposing themselves like UNO on 360?

"The games are the star of the show".

Yep, all three of them.

I am trying to think of something this can do that my Steamdeck can't already do.

“You know what they say, all toasters toast toast!”

@Moistnado Play Mario without risking a lawsuit.

@Anakin All those ports and we didn’t get Mega Man Legends or Tekken 8.

@kuu_nousee

I remember the early days of Rainbow Six Vegas which was also compatible with the camera. You could post your face on your character.

Nobody did that. Instead everyone literally posted pictures of their junk as their face.

My family was just discussing the price of the camera, my wife guessed $100, my kid and I both said $50. Glad it's $50. Gladder still you can use another USB-C camera according to Nintendo. 👍

It’s madly uninspiring. With so many handhelds coming out with great ergonomics, the only selling point for me is the exclusives and they’re so overpriced it’s off putting. I always have felt excited for new Nintendo hardware before this.

@StewdaMegaManNerd yes, a valid point. I own and paid (once) for all of the games I emulate. I don't rent games and have been playing Wii and GameCube on a handheld for several years now.

@BiscuitCrumbsInMyBed It seems rumble has improved. It's now called HD Rumble 2. It was briefly mentioned in that tutorial game trailer.

@OorWullie I was just about the reply to you about this. It’s great news 😉

I’m hoping it’s as good as PS5, playing Astro Bot is epic with those haptics on there

Thank you for getting back to me, mate. Have a great day
