I still don’t have a Switch 2, so I just voted for Poll! in the poll.

Actually hope to see more cameras based on other Nintendo stuff, hopefully with 1080p resolution

Didn’t expect waking up to it, but here we are, and a Deep Cut focused one too!!

I’m actually surprised at how fast it is. Seems like most complaints on speed have been fixed. Looks like the extra RAM really helped in this case.

Speaking of which, the setup was even revealed online, but although the original video no longer exists someone archived it and reuploaded it.

Another one was uploaded too.

In that second one since they showed off the serial number, yup, they’re gonna be tracked down by Nintendo ninjas after this 😭😭

That’s pretty smart, and also a good thing you can still add a screen protector without having to peel the film layer off. Some smart thinking with the Switch OLED.

@WhiteTrashGuy I may have mentioned this at the start of my comment already, but answer your question, it can be placed on top of the film without even having to remove it.

@JumpingJackson As someone who has the app, American English uses power on.

@nhSnork There was a rumor saying the Switch 2 would get themes in a later update but now I’m starting to think that rumor has been debunked. From the Switch 2 leak it still showed white and black themes but now they are actually called Basic Light Mode and Basic Dark Mode, implying Nintendo is being more straightforward to show that there won’t be more themes added.

Perhaps we might see Roblox come on Switch 2 at last considering it would run better than on Switch.

It already shows the white and black themes becoming Basic Light Mode and Basic Dark Mode. That wording implies we are only ever seeing white and black themes on Switch 2, which also means that rumor about more themes being added in a future update has been debunked.

@Suketoudara Maybe only Nintendo of America decided to be straightforward with themes since people keep thinking there would be more due to the original naming.

Not even sure if they also changed it for Canadian French, Latin American Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.

@Suketoudara Yeah just starting to realize this name change was only done for American English settings. Either they didn’t bother changing it for the other languages or they just forgot and are working to update the names for the other languages.

@nhSnork Could this be considered a monkey’s paw moment where they do update themes but not how we expected?

Surprisingly this doesn’t mention a few things:

1. The Themes section has some renames. Basic White and Basic Black become Basic Light and Basic Dark, Nintendo probably realized this was something that should have been changed a long time ago or they just don’t want anymore confusing into thinking more themes will be added at some point. Either way this confirms no other themes are being added on Switch 1 and Switch 2.
2. The Nintendo Switch Online app has also been redesigned and has some Switch 2 UI sounds, also supporting dark mode now.

This has already happened since the start of the month. Ever since it happened I entered the app less, only entering whenever I remember. I have noticed that even though you can no longer record footage the audio is still recorded, only a matter of time before Nintendo finds out and patches that too.

@Kyloctopus Speaking of Squid Idol drops, I’m still here waiting to see if they will add any Off the Hook choreographies from their first concert or from Tentalive 2019.

Wow, the amount of stock they’re getting for launch day, we’re probably gonna have a massive launch period to date. I may not be getting one on launch day, but I’m happy for those who are.

The only revision that should come out sooner for now is one with improved battery life. A Switch 2 Lite and Switch 2 OLED can eventually happen, and if they want to go further, a Switch 2 Pro or just a more powerful dock.

If they’re not adding interior cover art again at least make it some sort of insert this time.

3 GB of RAM for the OS? That was one more than I expected, especially if it’s towards GameChat and improving eShop and web browser performance. Although could the more storage also mean we might see themes return at one point even though the chances seem pretty low?

EDIT: I’m starting to feel skeptical about whether the whole sheet is even true as I have seen people bashing Digital Foundry for releasing false information on Switch 2 specs before.

@Andee9001 Back in the Switch 1 Nintendo made it so console region determines if we use American English (when region is set to The Americas, Hong Kong/Taiwan/South Korea or Japan) or British English (when set to Europe or Australia/New Zealand).

Now in Switch 2 it seems like we can freely choose which one of those we want to use, along with Canadian French, European French, Latin American Spanish, European Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese.

Not planning on using it but it is a neat feature for those who plan on using it.

Anybody else notice how on the language tab it says English (United States) rather than just saying English?

@HammerGalladeBro In any case they could just add it as a sticker somewhere of the back and leave the SMECCV rating as stickers on top of the ESRB rating.

@Don Adding what would have been interior artwork as actual inserts, that would actually be helpful if they’re not adding anymore artwork inside due to the red cases.

@KingMike Either that or they wanted to add the English cover but the German one was done first so they were only able to work with that.

@Galaxy2IsTheGOAT Probably not, but maybe they’re going back to adding any sort of interior artwork as actual inserts now.

@TrogdorTheBurninator That hasn’t been ruled out yet, this one just shows off the box art for each region, although for some reason the European box art is in German.

Nice to see the spine get some art, as well as the US box having a font for the text that resembles that of the game’s logo.

Also noticed how the US box now lists all of the supported languages instead of just saying “Contenu de jeu en français/Contenido del juego en español.” Here’s how Mario Kart World (and other Switch 2 games although their list of supported languages may vary:

GAME CONTENT IN/CONTENIDO DEL JUEGO EN: DE, EN, ES-LAT, FR-CAN, IT, JA, KO, NL, PT-BRA, RU, ZH

Actually find this method better, although for some reason they didn’t list EN-GB, ES-ES, FR-FR and PT-PT there, nor were Simplified and Traditional Chinese listed separately.

With the new agreement it also seems pretty likely Nintendo will be upping the security on Switch 2 even more now, making it harder to hack or just not hackable at all.

This isn’t anything new; and it seems like Nintendo is not ready for another SwapNote situation after what happened to that.

@Tyranexx Turns out the US My Nintendo Store does ship to all US territories, and that includes Puerto Rico, but still, a Spanish version of Nintendo’s US website/MNS and English/Spanish US retail cards should happen.

Right now I still use Yoshi, but if I choose to use Pearl, I already have one ready in NSO.

Finally more options, now there’s Deep Cut and Pokémon.

This was my most hyped console yet, having anticipated it since the end of 2022, and now here I am hoping to get one soon.

Next thing they should add to solve this is review/rating features and filters based on game studios.

And so ends the 3DS era after over 14 years…

@Nintoz Ah yes, that would be the best solution.

@Tyranexx Now that it comes to me, looking at how US game covers are in English and Spanish and the fact that you can access the US eShop in English and Spanish, Nintendo might as well open up a Spanish version of the US site/My Nintendo Store, along with having any US retail cards in English and Spanish.

@Dev-N If anything, it’s probably gonna be all games but if you have multiple accounts you can choose which ones to move.

I actually thought they would have done a style similar to the Wii U/3DS cards but oh well…

Now then, it’d be really funny to see them have the US cards in English and Spanish, consider US covers already contain both languages and the US eShop can be accessed in English and Spanish.

@HeadPirate Aren’t Xbox consoles also manufactured in México or is that just for their discs?

@Tyranexx It would probably have to be the South American office (not the Brazilian office) that takes charge for Central and South America.

Now I’m guessing the SA office should be in Colombia rather than Chile so then it can be easier located between Central and South America.

@Tyranexx Not sure if this is how it would work if they went that route, but the Mexican office would basically be NoA’s main Latin American office, with the Brazilian and South American office being the sub-offices. Each handling marketing, sales and distribution of Nintendo products for their respective regions. Both South American offices respond to the Mexican office, while they all communicate to NoA.

Basically like how Nintendo of Europe’s branches and Nintendo of Canada operate, or probably more or less.

@Tyranexx At least one in México, one in Brazil, and then one for the rest of South America (maybe place the South American office in Chile).

And then they all communicate with each other and Nintendo of America, like when it comes to events, new stuff and especially things to sell on the My Nintendo Store.

@Tyranexx Even if Nintendo of America opens offices in Latin America soon, where would they even set it up? México? South America?

@Tyranexx I also brought in Southeast Asia there because Nintendo Switch Online and the eShop are launching Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand when the Switch 2 comes out in those countries this third quarter, so I figured why not open the My Nintendo Store for those regions too, and maybe a Southeast Asian branch if they can.

Meanwhile, Latin America and Brazil also deserve a Nintendo subsidiary because even though they have more representation these days, prices in those regions are high because distribution is handled by third party distributors and not Nintendo themselves, not to mention they don’t have the My Nintendo Store either.

@Tyranexx I think it’s also the case with Latin America and Brazil because Nintendo doesn’t distribute products themselves there under a Latin American branch.

Nintendo recently opened a Taiwanese subsidiary this year, so Taiwan is more likely to get the My Nintendo Store next.

@Tyranexx In any case they wanted to put the My Nintendo Store on Switch 2 they would have to open it in more regions, like in Latin America and Brazil, Southeast Asia, and even Taiwan.

@HeadPirate Now that it hits me, since Europe and Australia receive the same versions of products, is Nintendo Australia operated by Nintendo of Europe or are they just an independent subsidiary that still receives European-related stuff but repackaged for the local market?

@Tyranexx A shopping cart and gifting features would have been nice additions too.

This was pretty much expected, and it doesn’t seem like the Switch 2 will work on the original Switch dock either.

As for HDMI cables, will an Xbox or PS5 Ultra High Speed HDMI cable work?

@Jester676 (Sigh) I actually forgot that happened.

But in all seriousness, why force people to getting it with extras instead of letting them get it on its own?
