What if the C button has something to do with Nintendo Today, especially if the News section replaced with Nintendo Today on Switch 2?

This could be easy to rerelease certain Switch games with a Switch 2 edition in a new cartridge that contains both versions of the game with the Switch 2 version containing the added enhancements, with people with the original copy also being able to download the Switch 2 version when the cartridge is inserted.

@PikaPhantom Probably because some current Switch games could actually run better on Switch 2. Some games shown off in the Direct could be cross-gen, but not all tho.

We already know it won’t be another capture button as that’s already on the left Joy-Con. Hmmmm, could it be some sort of chat button?

@Dev-N The Mii’s have been part of my childhood since getting my first 2DS back in 2015.

I still remember playing the demo on my New 2DS XL. Shouldn’t have deleted the demo data in case I wanted the full game 😭💔

Either way, happy to see Nintendo is bringing back Mii’s.

Wait, why now if we’re just a week away from seeing the Switch 2 Direct?

Here we are, about to see one of the biggest launch periods Nintendo has seen yet…

@DwaynesGames Nintendo hardly does that for their games and are almost always stuck at $60.

@JohnnyMind Maybe in a year or two Nintendo will announce Switch 2 vouchers once the Switch 2 has a pretty good lineup of games.

If they’re also bringing this game to Switch 2 they better improve optimization so it runs better than on Switch.

Okay, doesn’t look that bad. My guess is that it’s coming ahead of A Minecraft Movie.

@Abrammchi Most of the time I pull out my phone when I’m supposed to do my work, yet I still manage to finish it and get good grades, so I might have something planned… 😭😭

Looks interesting based on how it’s said. Just wondering if upscaling from 720p or even up to 1440p or 2160p can be possible, especially if they also allow this through the dock.

@ouroborous Nintendo should just make platinum points the default point type going forward and make it even easier to get them.

Assuming the Switch 2 brings back themes, they could have a theme shop where we can spend platinum points to buy themes instead of using real money (about 100 or 200 points per theme).

@StewdaMegaManNerd Well I never said I gave up hope. If anything I wanna see them priced at $50 like what my Walmart did with Switch games back in 2021.

@Rainz The Gold Points having a 12-month expiration date also means they are ending the incentive altogether once any remaining gold points expire.

@Spider-Kev They never explicitly said vouchers were ending, just that the current ones wouldn’t work on Switch 2 games.

Switch 2 games might get their own vouchers later down the line but with a new price to accommodate the $70 price point.

Haven’t used these but will Nintendo have another incentive like this on Switch 2, because there’s also the off-chance Nintendo doesn’t see the need for incentives like these to get people to buy digital content anymore.

Just noticed the countdown

2 more weeks, people!!!!!

@Snake-Life Debit cards could pretty much be affected too.

This store will be loaded with people on grand opening day and Switch 2 launch day. To anyone going to this new Nintendo Store, stay safe.

@Axecon Maybe My Nintendo Rewards. If only they can also start doing free shipping for My Nintendo Rewards stuff.

I love the Wii U startup jingle despite not owning a Wii U 😭

@Dev-N I don’t think they recognize any specific idol days. They didn’t even recognize Mar1na Day (Marina Day). I doubt PeAr1 Day (Pearl Day) will even be recognized, especially since it’s on April 1.

In many years time dedicated consoles won’t be made anymore.

Only a matter of time before PlayStation joins in, and from there competition will really heat up through the handheld market.

@westman98 Unrelated to this, but it’s likely voice chat is still locked to the NSO app.

@westman98 There is a little hole beside the cartridge slot. What if that could end up being the microphone unless it’s just for something else?

If this means built-in voice chat on Switch 2, that’d be great so I don’t have to use the NSO app. But how would they implement it for docked mode?

@Vyacheslav333 Nintendo really needs to add new features to the Switch 2’s eShop, especially a review/rating system and even filters.

I’m surprised some comments have already been removed as of now.

Hopefully Amiibo is supported more in Switch 2 games.

Feels like the comment section here has gone wild.

@HeadPirate You should probably see the comment section in this article.

Back on topic though: A Switch 2 version of Pokémon: Legends Z-A could be an enhancements patch (with better graphics, faster loading times, overall better performance, etc.) that can be a free download when the game is played on a Switch 2.

Assuming the tariffs do hit Japan, where else could Nintendo move physical media production for Switch 1 and Switch 2 games?

@Ultimapunch Pretty soon he’s gonna end up starting a trade war with not just our allies, but other countries.

@Ultimapunch Is Trump against things being made outside of the US or what? Why is he even implementing these tariffs to begin with?

@jojobar Check the back of Switch games boxes. They literally say “Made in Japan.”

You might be referring to the console itself, but even if you were, it’s also manufactured in Vietnam and Cambodia.

@Kiyata I actually get most of my Switch games physically and the barcode info does show “Made in Japan.”

@LastFootnote Switch cartridges (and maybe Switch 2 cartridges as well) are produced in Japan, so those won’t be affected unless Trump ends up adding tariffs for products from Japan.

@LastFootnote The government might not care this time and tell them to just deal with the prices.

@MegaMari0 Like back in 2019 when they wrote a letter to ask for an exemption for video games from the tariffs.

If Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft united to prevent these tariffs again, would it have still worked this time?

I was super interested in getting a Switch back in 2019 when I noticed some other relatives of mine had one. By 2021 thanks to the stimulus checks my parents got I was able to get a Switch. Love the hybrid concept. I once never thought I’d see a Switch in my house until 2021, and here I am now. Here’s to the Switch 2 and whatever it brings (hopefully themes make a return)…

Different starters could have been used, but if I were to get the game, I’m gonna go with Tepig.

@chardir Probably a better idea at the ports it will feature.

@Bigmanfan Ah, well at least a fan inside.

@FishyS Realistic one too. If the Switch 2 design leaks from September were correct, maybe the dock one is correct too.

Anything on if the dock will have some graphical boost and a fan inside?

@Not_Soos New Splatoon isn’t coming out for another year or two. We might actually see a first Splatoon spin-off game tho.

@HeadPirate Next thing we can imagine: Nintendo Resort
