Sounds Like Nintendo Is Being Smart with Switch 2 - Next-Gen Console Watch 

It has to be named "Super Nintendo Switch"

Backward compatibility with PHYSICAL carts is what’s most important to me.

All we want is a powerful switch with modern technology we dont want a new invention. Everyone loves the original switch we just want it to be more powerful.

Backward compatibility should always be the first thing when building a new console

Making the the Switch 2 backwards complatable is a great way to combat piracy. This would allow them to still get revenue from their OG Switch titles, creating a smooth transition to the next generation console.

Shows like this should happen much more often on IGN, this type of content is what made IGN what it is today. You guys are OGs, I'd rather listen to you than to some other hosts.

‘The Switch revolutionised gaming’. Like Nintendo causes on a regular basis- D Pad, Motion control, Avatars, etc….

Who cares about magnetic joycons. Fix the joycon drift is all they had to do.

Backwards compatibility is the most important thing to me

Basically this is XXL switch, got it.

Nintendo playing safe while they DMCA every person named Mario.

What's Ryan talking about? Nintendo was the only console doing backward compatibility for a long time. Gameboy Advance was backwards compatible with Gameboy games. DS was backwards compatible with GBA games. 3DS was backwards compatible with DS games. Wii was backwards compatible with Gamecube games. Wii U was backwards compatible with Wii games...has he forgotten that? Lol Ryan being a Microsoft fanboy thinking Xbox were pioneers in it😅😅😅

Nintendo has always been great with backwards compatibility. The Wii could play Gamecube games, the Wii U could play Wii games and Nintendo DS, could play ALL the previous gameboy games.

What is this man Ryan on about? Nintendo has been champions of backwards compatibility for a while. GB>>GBC>>GBA>>DS>>3DS each were backwards compatible with the previous hardware. Consoles have a much worse history with Gamecube, Wii, and Wii U being the outliers. This notion of selling the same games to you "over and over" seems to be more of an issue with virtual console games which won't be an issue as I'm sure NSO's game library will transfer over to Switch 2.

If it's backwards compatible day 1 for me if it isn't might pick 1 up a few years after release or not bother.

How about let's just focus on 1080p in a hand held before we waste battery on 4k nonsense. The switch is often 540p and many games run like crap even at that low res. 4k on a tiny screen is just wasting resources. Focus on 1080p handheld, 1440p / upscaled 4k on TV output.

Why isn't there a Nintendo splash screen at the beginning?

All they have to do forreal is let the dock be an external gpu for horsepower, so it can play the same AAA games of the same Quality of other consoles. Also make it so give it the usb port a Display port action for us. Monitor compatibility

Just bring a new Zelda like Links Awakening....

It would cool if they put an external graphics card in the dock so we can really push the performance and quality when playing on the tv

Important to note that Nintendo have been offering backwards compatibility for a while now. GBA could play GB. Wii could play Gamecube. Wii U could play Wii. 3DS could play DS etc

Cannot wait. Aesthetics wise also switch still looks sleek at the end of its life. Hope the form factor is just as nice looking.

I’ve spent $1000 plus on games and accessories on the switch so I’d hope the next gen is backwards compatible

“Are we excited” lmao sums it up

Who's making the APU? AMD? Or are the doing another arm/nvidia custom job? Or will it be Snapdragon based (lol)?

not only an 8 in screen there should be an oled option as well. hopefully

After seeing the entire gaming industry go out of their way to imitate the versatility of the switch, it would be very foolish to piss in that cereal.

what would be required of the hardware and Dock to output in 4k to TV tho? that seems like a stretch

1080p oled handheld mode with faster load times and less laggy with backwards compatible digital and physical is all we need lol

This podcast has become a weekly cozy upload to chill with😌

Maybe the new joycons have Hall effect sticks; which use magnets, and somewhere down the line that got confused as electromagnetic attachment somehow. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Because Hall effect sticks would solve the drift issue

Backwards compatibility is not optional, and the joycons need to be better quality. The magnet attachment would be nice to prevent damage on the rails.

If the battery is better and backwards compatibility is the only upgrade then that alone is a success

You don’t have a Nintendo exclusive podcast?

To me Price is all that matters, 3.5 years later and I’m still trying to afford the PS5 upgrade. Switch 2 needs to be the same 400 buck mark if not less.

Ture. Looking forward to swith 2. Hoping the joy con Don't drift.

Episode is about the Switch 2, let’s not get anyone from NVC on though 🙄

Will the electro magnetic hold and lock tho?

Sounds like you just keep pumping out boring switch 2 fake rumours just for views!

Backwards compatibility is a must so I’d say much more powerful hardware

No one from NVC? Missed opportunity.

Nobody is talking about how IF the joycon don't clic* like they do when you snap them on... The new magnetic system needs to make a similar snap if they REALLY wanna be congruent still calling it a SWITCH.

BUT WILL IT BE A BIGGER OLED SCREEN?

They’re gonna name it “New Nintendo Switch “

Hopefully there's no issue having magnets near the screen

@8:47 Honestly the only thing that matters if they’re just upgrading the Switch.

drift will never be completely gone. but there can be improvements

I’m kinda wanting 1080p and a larger screen more than anything that would be so cool to travel with since I’m never at home to play the PlayStation

The Switch 2 will not be as powerful as we think...

hey this guy was part of the sonic hate discussion in 2016

And he didn’t even dive into the possibility of next gen Switch upgrade patches for current switch games

it would just be nice if it is backward compatible, that it would mean that it can use the switch 1 carts, and not just backwards compatibility is just for digital only games.

Is the screen oled?

They need to work out a way to get the dock to properly boost the spec independantly from the handheld, which should be left relatively low power for battery life and the small screen. Even if they charge seperately for a spec boosting dock, that's fine. Must be a way. The previous dock was mainly just useless lump of plastic that a cheap adapter could better.

make the dock an external gpu🗣

Bring back the GameCube

Nintendo only pushes 1080 upscaled is just fine. That means processing power doesn't need to be monstrous.

What do you think of switch 2 third party games, will it be so many or more like switch 1?

why not have someone from NVC on

Back compat is the most important to me as well.

If it is retro compatible and can upscale and has hdr/dolby vision i'll be happy.

nvidia dlss being exclusive for the swithc 2 is a make it or break it feature.

Just you all think a little bit what 8 years gap of mobile technologies can do !!! Look at smartphone, every year upgrade SOC. Current Switch SOC are from 2015 !

There's leaks and info? Damn.

New Nintendo Switch XL Deluxe & Knuckles

here comes the jinx: it's gonna be digital-only.

It would be really cool if the Switch 2 is backwards compatible, to let the old Switch games finally shine, and getting resolution upscaling and framerate boosts. That would be a dream. Also, those analog sticks need to be redone from the ground. Make the Joycons thicker/deeper, with actual analog sticks like you'd have on a PlayStation or Xbox controller, and obviously without drift issues.

That extra inch goes such a long way.... -_-

For me most important is at least 60fps with great graphics and 1080p display

Nintendo consoles have a mixed record on backwards compatibility. Like they've often had some kind of device to bring previous gens into current gen. But their handheld devices have always fully supported the previous gen. With the switch specifically, how much are they going to change the shape of their carts?

Daemon no comment about helldivers 2 player count dropping? Why only comment about it when it's an Xbox game?

Electro-magnetic? It sounds like it will not have a long battery life.

If they use electromagnetic suction strong enough to hold the joy-cons on, would it be safe for people with pacemakers? 🤔

Nintendo: “The test is simple, remove your hand from the box, and you die. “ Accessories Execs: “Whats in the box? “ Nintendo: ~ P A I N ~

Honestly switch has become my favourite console of all time / renewed my love for Nintendo. It would take a lot for me not to get Switch 2 day 1. I'm all in - super looking forward to it lol

Super Nintendo Switch does make a lot of sense.

If every game will have stable 30/60 fps then it would be enough improvement for me.

Electromagnetically attached joy-cons seem like a long stretch to me. Why would they deliberately use power to hold the controllers in place. They could use that extra power for longer play sessions.

The Dune reference was fire.

it's kinda weird this show mostly focuses on ps and xbox and then just threw in some nintendo discussion from time to time. their intro, transition assets are just mainly blue and green lol

Is it confirmed that it’s a new switch and not a standard home console

When IGN comments about this stuff it’s gets SPICY

A whole extra inch is crazy

It’s gonna be called “Switch XL”

Can't wait for nintendo 10 gen console so hyped for it

Dang these guys has been with ign for the longest. Sheesh.

Is that a 72 Seasons shirt?

If Nintendo just removed the dock and added a micro hdmi port and included a micro hdmi to hdmi cable in the console they could save so much money on production costs bc no dock and you would be able to play games Wii U style and use the switch as a gamepad kinda thing. This would also reduce the price of the switch to like 200$-250$

Hope they have an OLED option on launch.

We definitely need more mature rated games since the switch 2 will be more powerful

They have no idea what the NSW will be like or when it will be on sale. Those video titles are great for wasting time and generating business.

Only got into fallout because bundled with Skyrim for special edition.

No NGCW this week IGN???

1080p because that means better internal hardware:3

Sounds like they haven’t released a title, so why you callin it switch 2?

1. 8 inch screen or slightly larger is most important for me, the Lenovo Legion Go is 8.8 inches, so call that 9 inches... AAA console games, especially full 3D games, are designed so like in real life, you can see tiny things in the distance and sometimes interact with them too, like with a sniper rifle. This is fine on a 42 inch living room TV, taking things down to 8 inches is the bare minimum for comfort. 2. Consoles need a full sized directional pad exactly like the dpad found on the Wii U, the GameCube dpad was too small, the Switch dpad is non-existent, never make these mistakes again. There are more games in existence that use dpad input than thumbsticks for now, this includes 99% of fighting games like Soul Calibur, Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, and 2D platforming and puzzle type games like Mario, Rayman and Tetris. 3. Unobtrusive paddles / buttons on the back of the controllers or the device...exactly like the Steam Deck, for more input options. (These types of buttons work great for modifying what other buttons do while they are being held too, giving a huge range of input options!) People have lacked ideas on how to increase the freedom of input since the PS2 days, it is time to make rear buttons standard, let people be able to turn them off or on since everyone's hands are different, and place them ergonomically so they aren't in the way while gaming normally, nor too easy to press. 4. Normal face buttons, please. No more differently sized A, and B buttons, no more tiny C buttons, no more bean shaped X and Y buttons, and no more remotes, please. If anything, 6 face buttons like a Hori Fighting Commander gamepad would be amazing, or at the very least, offering a right joycon with those features. That's all normal people who play all types of games really want. Hall sensor thumbsticks are cool, yes, but don't stick those on to some piece of garbage that lacks the above improvements.

If the next Switch isn't backwards compatible, it's going to be a children's toy and the world will move on to Steam Deck. If Nintendo really want to be competitive and appeal to gamers, it should be backwards compatible with every previous Nintendo console, the GameBoy, GameBoy Advance, 3DS, GameCube etc. Then it would be a lot more interesting.

Max looks like MukLukRU-vid but with that 'just-got-out-of-my-porsche-roadster' hairdo.

All we want to customize home screen😅

I'd love a portable Yuzu that can play Switch 2 games.
