Shovelware exists on all gaming platforms it's just that Nintendo is the flavor of the day with it huge sales and software offering that others NintenDoomed fandom can't fathom why it's so successful of a Hybrid console they can't wrap their tunnel vision around. Maybe when they can understand the Switch concept maybe they have real concerns.
I think if we get 256g storage it will be on-board without expansion option since it will have to custom chip considering the size of Switch and how much room they can have in it. And giving us a 512g might or come OLED will become out of reach for most general gamers including Family whom would like to have more then one Switch. So getting more hardware will become outofreach for most but the core or first plunge gamers to get the new hardware. Even if they give up expansion for the storage the space is so constrained already form factor. Expanding RAM and Storage would be a great appeal but that will come with a cost for $$$. But that option expanding RAM and Storage would be a first on a Hybrid console to be had. But if we get a Storage like mSATA SSD or smaller then we will need hardware/software the a PC can use to backup and move to a bigger storage mSATA SSD or likes to keep from loosing game data unless you use Cloud which in itself doesn't cost much but you have to be subscribed to have this backup feature. Those small storage M2 or longer will have limit space to use in the Switch since the Switch is already compact already.
Super Nintendo Switch sounds good but a Switch 2 will be confusing there - maybe called Switch Duo might make it different. The name has to be Switch enough but not so different people have no idea what it is.
It seems again people are confusing again INTERNAL storage with MicroSD storage. It has nothing to do with MicroSD and all to do with Switch Internal storage as Saved Game Data and ACNH don't save to MicroSD. This is the discussion at hand-can we return to the Topic at hand and not go off tangent here.
Oh yeah and have 3D nand carts for future games that will increase Switch game from the dreaded 18g carts and download rest. This will help with Internal memory for game saves.
@EriXz Rumour mills seems dead on that two model currently. As for any Lite model that seemed to be shelved without a ETA in sight. It's better if one model with storage expansion if it comes 256g expand to 512g. That would be something to see.
@Servbot_EJ The more storage the better. I'd prefer 500, but no less than 256.
The more the merry is the way for Switch and save data from those games will eventually take space and if you have screenshots even those will take up valuable space. But having at least min 256gb Storage space would help alot. And alot is the cost of those memory chips for Switch to use for Storage will cost to get more I just hope they have a slot where you can buy the chip and expand Internal memory to 512gb that would be nice. But we have to factor a cost of Switch with 512gb internal would be expensive as well. So to keep at $400usd something has to give and we got LCD only for not so that goes to show there is a cut off point.
Alot of people here are confusing the discussion about Internal Memory Switch storage that stores game data that can't be stored onto a MicroSD. Having a bigger Internal Memory storage is what is talked about here - shouldn't be mixed up with having a bigger MicroSD. Having a 1tb MicroSD is the largest external storage Switch can use but now they have 1.5tb available not cheap right now. The talk is Internal storage as that is where saved game data is saved and can't be moved to a MicroSD which would be great but won't any time soon happen. What we want is if we get 2546gb Internal storage that it can be expanded to 512gb of Internal storage this would help save data but having external storage 1tb-1.5tb for eShop game download helps when you factor DLC/Updates to game will take up space as well but the TOPIC is about the Switch Internal storage since that is where saved data goes and if you have Cloud NSO Subscription that helps but there are games that don't allow Cloud so that is where having much Internal RAM storage as possible will help here.
@shgamer You got microSD card confused with internal memory storage. Those are two different animals here. Internal Switch memory storage can't be expanded and this is import because saved data is stored there not on the MicroSD that can store both eShop games and DLC/Updates on there.
I say 256gb because anymore would make the Switch 2 unaffordable to the masses. If they want a return in investment 256gb seems reasonable but they should have a option to expand that memory to 512gb as well to insure future proof.
Maybe Scalpers are buying the stock v2 OLED now? The hype usually garners sales of current hardware. But I suspect if $400 price tag might keep some away for the time being but those that want the DLSS/RT feature will go first as if the Switch 2? is the next console then most will wait when they increase production more as they switch*pun* from v2 to v3 Switch versions.
I thinking Super Nintendo Switch would be fitting for something people can remember it. Switch Pro or Switch Duo does have ring to them but not sure if people would know what that meant.
What would be good is to have the magnetic sensors instead of contact points would have better lifespan and easier to fix or have longer usage before needing fix or replacement.
Would like to see 2024 and expected games to go $70 that is a given at this point. Anyone expecting to see a Switch 2 less then $400 is smoking something good that the rest of us needs. Prediction is far better then Switch Rumors that has no source to verify it. Love how we got NintenDoomed coming out in full force. Having DLSS3.5/RT would be the best it have coming.
The longer Switch 2 waits the farther they fall in AAA games and games requiring power GPU gameplay. So no waiting isn't in Nintendo interest in terms of gaming staying power. This in their business model and not something they can wait and expect Devs to downgrade games to play on Switch. Even Palia being a Online presense game shows good enough Graphics currently but I seen some graphics ghosting and a better system will improve game play.
@TenEighty Weapon Degradation <----- Making games annoying. Not a fan. No kidding they've should've made a feature where players can fixup or restore damaged weapons back. Because with the game we are collecting resources and items so why not use some of those for that repair purpose.
Fan of Bayonetta but that game play is really moving. I even had trouble keeping up. lol But need to get back to it but like to play on the Switch 2 if I could to power it more.
@Dazman Baldur's Gate would melt the switch. The console simply cannot do it.
Alot of wishful thinking...Witcher 3 runs on Switch so not sure why people always dimiss Switch. It's most likely coming to Switch 2 current GenX most likely can run it but it be like close to but not all of DOOM with so much blurry scene you go blind trying to play it.
What's worse is this Charity Fraud will hurt future Charity for those at needs and now all Donors now and future will second guess any Charity for good purpose for those at risk. These are the people and family will hurt and damaged more.
We all have to ask ourselves here where did all the golf charity go? And why when Jirard states year or year they are giving when in FACT nothing was given? There some reasonable questions you should ask yourself here. He talks about his business expenses but never mentions how he can't explain the charity donations accounting? Don't anyone find that odd you can track your business expense but can't figure how to track your donations and where they are going?????? Common people think...would ya.... He's been thinking for 10 years but kept saying the organization was donating year or year and now only donating the money-we assume that is his money not the Charity money(since there no accounting it even exist-bank statements would show if there was money there). His suing them means he had to use his own his and family money to cover the lost Donations that were used for personal gain.
You can't sue because you criminally implicated yourself. His Public charity can't come up why the GOLF charity is missing and in 10 years no donations were mad even though all his Video clearly says "ALL" not some were for donations. He can't sue them for anything that was his own doing. One must not listen to the complete conversation they had where he was trying to Bribe them and then uses his Dead mom to protect himself that is sick man. Internet doesn't need to decide what Karl/Muta did just look at the Public filing OpenHand/IndieLand and ask yourself as they are public must release those tax filing where did the Golf and his Indieland money go since he said none of those would used but ALL for charity. Devs distancing themselves is not only a saving for them but that they can public state they are doing this for the good of the Gaming and Consumer buyers that they have ethic/moral value to uphold to their community. Plain and Simple.....
@GarlicGuzzler Given his treatment toward women, he should've been arrested years ago. But alas, rich people have money, and thus get away with everything. And I wonder what happened to the MeToo movement to help these woman here???? They came in flash and went out in a flash....???
Any times people compare No longer sold consoles Lifetime sales to Active selling consoles for number comparisons it's like Apples to Oranges. Numbers are good but must be current sales figures not LifeTime Sales vs On-Going sales numbers to reflective actually figures.
We have to remember any live stream or online aka Sony terminating their steaming services even for paid customers. So this online stuff can be a tricky thing to deal with.
@koffing Those are just opinions since they have no Actual hardware or GTA 6 games to tells anyone what it really does or doesn't do. That is a FACT so one can opinion all they want but end of the day they don't have the Switch 2 or GTA6 to provide anything other then opinion reviews.
