Doesn’t Switch 2 play Switch 1 games at higher fps and resolution without the need for what ever that is they are selling for BOTW and TOTK? I thought Switch 1 games simply got these simple fps/res boost. I’m not rebuying my games.

Why don’t they release the real price in $ and €. Why only in ¥? Aren’t NOA & NOE briefed? I am peeved because it’s been this way for all the various S2 prices talked about so far. It’s all based off the ¥.

Just as I said months ago, do they expect us to use the mouse on our knee or couch arm rest, I had enough of that in the mid 2000’s with a laptop hooked up to a TV.

When I buy physical games I appreciate it when the cover can be used as a beautiful piece of artwork that I can set on a shelf and look at. Considering that we would be paying more money for the S2 version, I would definitely feel very annoyed by all the text, QR code and over abundance of the color red.

What this amounts to is milking gamers for more money and milking BOTW for another 4-8 years at full price. As for the Zelda’s being included it the NSO+ subscription, what happens when you don’t renew the NSO+ subscription a year later? Do you lose access to these updates for BOTW & TOTK?

@NintendoWife The issue is a vertically reading logo in a horizontally read swath or red. The correction would be to use a horizontally read logo.

This is a pure insult! I’ve never seen Nintendo stoop so low

If you don’t have a Japanese bank card you won’t be able to purchase from Nintendo’s Japanese My Nintendo Store. Also Nintendo recently removed foreign bank cards from being able to purchase from the Japanese eShop. With Switch 1 your only options are import websites and eShop Prepaid Online Codes (eShop gift cards) from Amazon Japan. I wouldn’t be surprised if Nintendo shut down eShop gift cards too, and made registration of the Japanese model tied to a Japanese bank card as well.

A vertical reading Switch 2 logo within a horizontally reading red stripe, Nintendo’s graphical design department is asleep with that bad design.

All of it is too expensive, and Nintendo games never go on sale. I absolutely won’t be buying until three years in. By then maybe new prices will drop and second hand prices will have dropped further. I have over 10 Switch games to play yet, generally it takes me a good 6 months to a year for a large game.

I don’t think it makes much sense. Remakes and HD ports, even from Sega make more sense to me. I don’t want to rent.

Are these features in the game or is it all a joke? Looks cool.

@Automated_Unit_4937 With Nintendo’s Today! app, Nintendo may be positioning themselves to completely pull out of X, BlueSky and all others. Makes sense as they won’t have to pay X for the checkmark and Nintendo will have full control over their media coverage. A more DIRECT mode of engagement for their fans. We don’t need FB, X, BS; at least I don’t. It’s all drama. I do like the mature look but I also hope Nintendo comes out with some nicely colored button variations of this console.

Microsoft putting Windows 11 on the next Xbox, could the Switch 2’s mouse signify a Nintendo OS? Do your taxes on Switch 2.

I expect to see games that focus heavily on online membership to be releasing right away, everything else pushed off to next year.

@Anachronism Aren’t these sales numbers for physical sales, maybe most people are buying digital now. The digital numbers might be double than these.

Ok, why aren’t all the Nintendo apps rolled into one. My Nintendo, Nintendo Music, Nintendo Today!, Nintendo Family Management. Wow!

Additionally, I thought about getting the Nintendo Today! app, but at sign-in my iPhone pops up a message saying that DEEPEN wants permission to access my Nintendo Account information. Who is Deepen? Considering that all my digital games are tied to this account, I do not feel comfortable using an app where Nintendo decides to use a third party for login. No thanks.

This is all disappointing news to me. You see, I was hoping that all Switch games would get a boost from the new hardware. Reason being that hacked Switch’s whose clock speeds have been increased, usually see an improvement in frame rate. Not only that, but the new hardware is rumored to have upscaling tech, which can hopefully upscale sub 720p games to 1080p or higher.

Considering that most Switch games, docked, already increased their clock speeds for an increased resolution to 1080p compared to running the same game in handheld form, why couldn’t the Switch 2 do this for Switch games while in handheld form? Here is an example: FF XII and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 run at 540p in handheld but when docked run at 1080p; additionally, the frame rate might go up. Now imagine that the Switch 2 could have a mode in which handheld Switch 1 games are ran as if they were docked. Every Switch 1 handheld game would get a free upgrade in resolution and possibly frame rate. Of course this means increased demand on the handheld system, but new chip technology should be able to do what was once a hot and power hungry task as a cool and battery efficient task.

The truth that a hacked Switch (both docked and handheld) with increased clocks and the truth that docked Switches with the default increased clocks, both improve resolution and sometimes frame rate, proves that the Switch 2 only needs to increase clocks and use upscaleing and maybe frame generation to improve every single Switch 1 game for free without any special editions or downloads.

Very poor. What need did it meet? None of these games interest me. Not many of these games are very high profile. Many came without release dates, so why bother. I was hoping for a lot more. I know Switch 2 is coming but there is no way I’m getting one until a year or three after release. Nintendo could still support the 100’s of millions of Switch owners with some Kirby, Zelda Oracle, Minish remakes, Fire Emblem, even Luigi’s Mansion 1.

The C button is a Push to Chat button.

Why would a PS6 release anytime soon? PS5 has barely got started on releasing games. If I were a PS5 owner I would be insulted with a PS6 release as I would feel that the PS5 was unfinished.

I had no idea that Keiji Inafune of Megaman and Zero fame was involved in this project. I’m not really a big fan of his work so I don’t pay much attention to him. Fantasy Life looks interesting, but I don’t know much about it either.

I’m not paying more than $300 on a Switch 2 no matter what. I have enough games on Switch 1 to last me years. I’m happy with it.

All the Wario games are nice, all of them. But I don’t understand why they made so many micro games and not another Land type game, those were my favorite. Also, I don’t like what Wario became in these last 20 years, a farting man. He meant so much more to me in Land 1, 2, 3.

I don’t see anyone wanting $300. I got my Switch Lite three years ago, I can wait three more years to get a Switch 2 Lite for less than $300 new or like-new.

What does a Zoomer shooter look like? I think this game has nothing in common with original doom, wolfenstein, quake, counter strike, half life, halo, golden eye, time splitters.

Rather, this game has more twitch based gameplay in common with Zoomer shooter Overwatch.

I sit on a soft couch. I don’t find a table or desk fun to game at. What is this, the year 2008 when you had to use a wireless mouse with your laptop because the trackpad wasn’t great. I tell you, using a mouse on your pant leg, couch arm rest, or on a hard back book is not a delight. Why are we still comparing resistive vs capacitive touch screens? We have modern touch screens in which you can use a Bluetooth battery powered pen, a licensed Wacom battery free pen, or patent your own battery free pen tech. We also have gyro in both the console and controllers. I think mouse is trying to solve a niche problem that few games will use.

They might release the same month as the last demos in June. Or they may wait until Back to School season.

Mario Kart 9? More like Mario Kart 99.

We don’t owe Nintendo anything. Not our sympathy nor out money.

If there were no leaks, the reveal would not have been very surprising given that it is still a Switch for the most part with minor alterations. The only things to wonder about are the c button and the mice. Therefore I wonder, does Nintendo expect me to use the mice on my pant leg or on the couch arm rest?

As of now: 50% think the showing was Great, 43% think the showing was Average, and 6% think it was Poor. That’s an easier poll to look at. This data comes from the above poll.

Mario Kart is completely played out as a series. Milked dry as the driest desert. We need a Resident Evil 4 type reinvigoration for the series. Mario Kart on switch is still selling and what on earth will persuade us to buy another MK so soon? Talk about franchise fatigue! I hope Nintendo still understands that it is novel and fun gameplay over graphics. Mario kart needs a BIG change or entire generation break.

Boring, bland, corporate funeral of a presentation, design and name. Simply somber, any fun felt forced and without any novelty or cheer. The leaks did not ruin the novelty or fun; it isn’t and wasn’t there (in the final and leaked design). Realistically the stand will break, and the joy-con rail chip will either snap off or foul up with time. Backwards compatibly is good, it helps persuade folks to upgrade but nothing shown persuades me to move on from my switch lite. Judging from the colors and design, this console is geared towards a mature crowd. And my guess is the price will be too high for what it does. So far the color and design just are not appealing to me at all. The ASUS ROG Ally is more appealing design and color wise. Lastly, the classic finger snap seems to be replaced with a clap. I don’t like it. These are my true thoughts and feelings, not rage bait.

I want colored thumb sticks, buttons, color on the case and joycons, a design. Something fun and stylish. As of now the renders look like a boring computer with controllers glued to the sides. Wouldn’t it be cool if a Zelda themed system actually glinted in places like gold accents. Or a Splatoon that had really raised textured splats! I would also like something that used the sandwich design of the original 3DS with the different colored plastic and clear plastic.

Not only is it too big but possibly ugly as well. Nothing about a black tablet with black controllers and a black dock screams fun to play. I like the neon colors of the original switch and the special Pokémon sword shield Switch lite designs. Here’s hoping for a reasonably sized/weighted and beautifully designed system with attractive colors.

AI created imagery sure looks real.

Nintendo will not disturb Pokémon Z nor Metroid 4 or Xenoblade X games sales this spring. They may announce but won’t release until much later in the year.

@Everythingnotsaved Exactly. I just do not see how Nintendo will be successful in convincing the casuals to buy the new system Release a new Animal Crossing? But why won’t it play on my Switch? Wrong Switch, miss. Oh.

Those images, any images, can be Ai made. I hope it’s all fake, every rumor. Just to get all the speculation to quiet down, to discredit all the liars.

I hope this is incorrect information. It looks sooo boring! I don’t want a Switch with more power. I want something new and fun, within reason of not being a gimmick. I also want something that looks fun to look at. This looks bland.

Your poll on which is our favorite style is missing some games, what about that Star Ocean game, and what about that Hundred Hero’s game? I want to see HD2D to continue evolving.

I just purchased a larger SD card. While researching the differences between the official SanDisk and other options I found on Nintendo’s website mention that the official cards operate at max of 100MBps read and 90MBps write. Not 60. In reality it may dip to anywhere below the max, but the max is higher than 60.

Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD

Is this an Unreal engine game? When the camera rotates and pans, there is that characteristic Unreal engine stutter. It gives me a headache. Also I have concerns that Switch won’t run this game well at all.

Never heard of this. In the video, there is something about those sound effects, so many western developer’s and movie houses use the same, tired, boring, sound effects. I hate those sounds.

Considering that Zelda BOTW and Mario Odyssey both have 3D options, perhaps Switch 2 will have an advanced 3D screen allowing for compatibility and enhancement of some or all Switch 1 games to be viewed in 3D. As for 3DS games on NSO, I wonder if the second screen could float in 3D space above the primary screen. I wonder if this floating second screen could be activated by a button press or a type of glance a camera sees your eyes doing.

Sony should be hiring new blood and creating their own studio’s rather than poaching and acquiring studios. It really displays how uncreative and uncommitted the likes of Sony and Microsoft really are.

Xbox, Windows 8, 10, 11, and their Surface brand computers and accessories have been so poorly managed these past 14 years that I’ll never buy another Microsoft product of any kind. Their ideas, products and implementations have been promise’s broken and directionless.
