@SillyG Maybe one of the SKUs will be for a white Switch 2, except the whole shell is white, including the screen’s shell.

Ok, what is this ripoff app again?

@CaleBoi25 Likely scenario could be that Nintendo just wants us to pay full price for digital content going forward unless they add discounts when they do sales.

@westman98 I’ve never seen a unit that was produced in Cambodia, and Cambodia is actually pretty close to Vietnam.

It’s $349, $399 or $449. We can’t expect it to be $299 this time if it’s more expensive to produce it and all the extra power added.

As for the tariffs thing in the US, I think Nintendo will find a way around it by sending Switch 2 units produced in Vietnam to be sold in the US (and any other markets managed by Nintendo of America, like Canada and Mexico). That way they won’t have to deal with tariffs and increase the US price.

@HammerGalladeBro Yeah, Latin America actually did something like this but with the white model.

Overall tho it feels like something ahead of Mar10 Day.

@StewdaMegaManNerd I actually wanted to get the Animal Crossing Switch in 2021, but since GameStop cancelled the order due to them not having it I settled for the blue and red model.

If they consider the remake/remaster route at least price them at $39 or $49.

Bringing DS or 3DS over to Switch 2 whether by remakes/remasters or NSO could also benefit from a dual screen attachment like from that one concept video.

@Vyacheslav333 Germany needs to collab with PEGI when USK doesn’t wanna approve a game for sale in Germany.

@westman98 And with the addition of mouse support on the new Joy-Cons makes it even less likely for a separate dual screen attachment as the mice could already just be used as a stylus for DS games that support it or Tomodachi Life if that gets rereleased.

@westman98 Welp, there go any dreams of a 4DS or XDS ever happening.

@westman98 If they ever add DS and 3DS to NSO do you think they way they display the screens will just be similar to how the Wii U did for DS Virtual Console by putting them side by side?

@darkswabber I mean, Nintendo France and Nintendo Benelux still exist, they just now operate as branches of Nintendo of Europe rather than separate subsidiaries.

Now that it comes up to me, if Nintendo sends Vietnam-produced Switch 2 units to the US, wouldn’t they also get sent to Canada and Mexico or even South America as those markets are managed by Nintendo of America and they get the same things as in the US?

@BoFiS @RetroGames The fact that the vents could be covered is the reason why it was flipped in those renders.

Now when will Nintendo set up subsidiaries for Latin America and Brazil (Nintendo Latinoamérica and Nintendo Brasil) with the addition of bringing the My Nintendo Store to those regions?

@darkswabber Technically it’s not Nintendo of Germany even though it is located in Germany. Remember Nintendo France also got merged with Nintendo of Europe at the same time as Nintendo Benelux.

@Magician Pretty much now the only time we can save is when they do limited time sales or their Hits for the Holidays Sale. But outside of that we will only be able to buy Switch 2 games at their intended price.

@westman98 Either that or they’re just discontinuing the program in a few years.

Actually since Switch 2 games won’t be compatible with vouchers maybe the Switch 2 will actually have its own eShop to work with.

Highly likely Nintendo wants the only way to get Nintendo Switch 2 games to be just straight up buying them at their intended price, and then also gold points going away means no more discounts until they do sales.

@HeadPirate @IceClimbers Nintendo already started sending some production to Vietnam following Trump’s first attempt on imposing Chinese tariffs in 2019.

@HeadPirate Wouldn’t the one way Nintendo won’t make US customers pay more and avoid high tariffs is if they send units that were manufactured in Vietnam to the US?

If I’m not mistaken, Xbox sells classic games through Game Pass and individually on the Microsoft Store. No surprise if Nintendo takes a similar approach.

Nintendo probably knew about this and turned off the OS until launch day so the UI wouldn’t show when powered on. Release is the only way we’ll know what the Switch 2 UI will look like.

@Papasears1982 It’s possible Nintendo does this instead of an actual Switch 2 Pro.

Now when can we do vertical rotation?

@Coalescence I think the context is that most people don’t wanna see shovelware or eSlop games and want filters to be added so they can filter them out even though we may not know that there are some potentially good games.

@Dev-N Nintendo’s probably gonna build a new eShop for the Switch 2 (unknown if it will be an app or not), so maybe it will also get new features like shopping cart, review/rating and gifting, even filter features to just filter out developers and games we don’t want to see.

A possible leeway for some sort of dual screen attachment connecting to the top USB-C port allowing us to connect a Switch 1 screen as the top screen. Can allow for playing DS and 3DS games on NSO if they get added. Also an option add-on for games if you want to check your inventory at the bottom while the main gameplay is at the top.

Ok, so about $349 as far as US pricing goes (assuming Nintendo ships out Vietnam-produced units to the US), because that’s what $499 CAD in USD is.

If Nintendo sells Vietnam-produced units in the US, they’d also do it for the rest of North America as well as Latin America and Brazil as all those markets are managed by Nintendo of America, so they all get the same things despite some different regional packaging.

@Edu23XWiiU If they add DS and 3DS it’ll probably remain Switch 2 exclusive, and maybe that’s where a dual screen attachment can come in based on the top USB-C port.

@Xenoblade-Fan With the online gaming landscape changing, Nintendo knew even they would have to ditch free online play at some point. Nintendo’s a different company now than they have been before 2017, so it’s unlikely they’ll do free online play again.

Personally I’d give the service an 8 out of 10.

With Nintendo Switch Online coming to Switch 2, will Nintendo add perks exclusive to those using it on Switch 2?

No doubt the Switch will still be supported, although it won’t be as much of a huge focus as it has been up to this point. We may also see some cross-gen games for Switch and Switch 2.

If Nintendo wants to bring in more social features on Switch 2, let’s see if they can build up something new as a successor to Miiverse.

Even some of those patents show the straps, a charging stand, and what looks like a Pro Controller that can plot into two with both parts also having the mouse sensor.

Either $349 or $399.

Might have to watch it after school.

@Thomystic Nintendo began winding down Russian operations in 2023, as in pulling out of the country, so the chances of Switch 2 releasing there are low.

@UltimateOtaku91 But those titles will also work on Switch 2, so what console would be people get between the two?

@RedWolf The limit will probably be 1 per order, but unfortunately scalpers might find ways around it. We’re still not sure what tricks Nintendo has up its sleeve to combat the scalpers.

@Mgalens No joke, I wanna see how Nintendo implements this with the Switch 2 and see if it will actually expand to other countries outside of Japan (like the US, Canada, EU, etc), especially to regions like Mexico.

If Nintendo’s gonna make NSO as a requirement to preorder Switch 2 in North America, they will also have to contact other US and Canadian retailers to apply similar measures.

The only problem is: scalpers can easily use bots to fake accounts and get the memberships for this.

When a new console is announced, sales for the current one usually go down. It’s time the original Switch units get a price cut of at least $50 while they’re still around. Nintendo Selects, anyone?

If they make a Nintendo Land 2 (I haven’t played the original tho) and include it as a pack-in game for Switch 2, let’s see how they implement mouse controls.

I know what it will be: Press to order food straight from your Switch 2, in partnership with Uber Eats, Grubhub, DoorDash, and many more around the world.

Basically like the Wii’s Food Channel, but now in other regions.

@FaroreAbhorsen I mean, they could still find a way to make it work, like a dual screen accessory.

If NoE had any involvement with this, would they side with NoA or NoJ, or are they just like “Personally we don’t care what the console is called. Just reveal it soon enough so the leakers can stop.”

@Guitario Great question.
