Nintendo Switch 2 FINALLY Gets Release Window & Hardware Details! 

Nintendo has always been more interested in pushing their own software over 3rd party. It's their install base that generally makes their platform intriguing to 3rd parties. The only thing I can say in Nintendo's favor is that they have always been about games over everything else. They've never tried or shown interest in being an alternative to PC gaming.

I feel like that's kind of a double-edged sword discussion of like hardware being held back when we always created games with hardware limitations that Excel astronomically compared to now where games that try to push it to the limit or barely even scratch the surface or quite underwhelming

Nintendo's approach is very different from others companies... and I think it's healthy for the gamer market in general. I luv my switch and I luv my ps5... but they are waaay different things

Nintendo will live forever, and them thinking about making something more powerful then people thought, it should be nice

Mr Nintendo is always taking fivers from my wallet lol

Wait what? Not a big jump on previous Switch? These guys are obviously not plugged into the reported specs

I'm gonna need some new IP's...Or an Earthbound Remake in the claymation style. With battle animations.

$500 Switch 2 vs $650 Steam deck oled vs $700 ROG Ally Im hoping the switch 2 is hardware competitive. If not I hope they keep the $300 price tag Both hopes will not happen.

Guarantee people will still ask about switch 2 details at the next Direct lol

From what the leaks have stated the switch successor has the raw power of a PS4

Am I weird for being totally ok with waiting for a new Switch? Least for playing games on the OLED model I never get super frustrated with the hardware. For some reason I just have totally different expectations when playing Nintendo versus everything else. On other games I actually care so much more about things like HDR and higher frame rates.

Nintendo needs to fix their views on online games, re-releases of old games from the 90s, and just their whole general treatment of their fan base before I buy more stuff from them.

I really wish we could buy the old games separately again. We can't get internet good enough for online gaming here and paying $50 a year just to play old games that I'm not interested in will not work. (Yes, I am interested in a few of them, but not enough of them.)

With the next pokemon game coming in 2025 people have been speculating that will be a launch title for Switch 2

I wouldn't call the fast loading simple, it is a huge deal when you go back to something that doesn't.

I really noticed the difference when playing Dave the Diver on the Switch and then on PS5. Just fast forwarding through the dialogue, alone, meant I saved a ton of time while playing the PS5 version.

The only things i really want is backwards compatibility and more powerful hardware, i dont care if its as visually stunning as pc and ps5 thats not why i play nintendo games, but better load times and improved visuals than the switch would be amazing

Good discussion

Switch was the first Nintendo console youve ever bought in your life? Oh, my God. How young are you?!

Agreed! Super Nintendo Switch! Encompasses nostalgia and an improved system perfectly.

Super Nintendo Switch 👌

One thing that i love, i have no clue how/or what the next Nintendo console is going to be

The monthly subscription should allow the virtual console to carry over from console to console since they’ll always make some money on it. If they want to scratch that “cash in on nostalgia” itch then they can always continue the hd remaster or remakes. Now what I hope but know better than to count on is Nintendo keeping a steady stream of good full remakes coming rather than just relying on the hd remasters. They’d make a killing making $40 (or $60 knowing them) full remakes of their greatest hits. Ocarina or Mario 64 DS with Switch or Switch 2 graphics and modern day controls and QOL features would be a cash cow as long as they do it well.

Donkey Kong 64 needs to be added to switch online.

Definitely not a fan of magnetic joy-cons. When metal dust and stuff gets on them and then they don't seat properly to the screen there will definitely be problems. I work with metal for a living so I could see me staying away from this one for that reason alone

Nothing confirmed till Nintendo says so… all the spec talk is rumor

I hope its like that clickbait thumbnail Larger screen or a flip screen

1:28 what?! That’s a huuuuuge leap… and yeah it’s a handheld… what competitor has a handheld? So how is it a step down? Really weird statements.

Cant wait for the swiitch

Tetris 99 is baws

Watch Metroid Prime 4 come with a multiplayer suite that becomes the killer app lol

I play ark on my switch nonstop

Still praying Nintendo fans stop buying their crap so we can have a GameCube like revolution where it was a leader in well everything from wireless controllers to 4 player gameplay

Bit slow on the uptake :P

I want Call of Duty on the Switch, doesn't matter if it's the mobile version

I hate Nintendo love the games😑

Whatbias late to the party again.

Can't stand Nintendo... the only company so full of themselves that they refuse to ever put their first party games on a reasonable sale... deepest they go is 39.99. Definitely not a consumer friendly company.

You love Nintendo? Despite them being one of the worst for games preservation absolutely abysmal with mod support. Releasing the same games for the past 40 years. With mild variations....hmmm
