The switch is what the wii u wanted, the affordability of the wii, and convenience of all handhelds. They don't need to upgrade now but plan for a backwards compatible upgrade like the ps5
I see that and I feel as though Nintendo was kinda obligated to allow backwards compatibility to some degree after seeing the massive player base of the switch, unfortunately behind the switch online pay wall but still its something
There is a lot to improve, Joycons suck tbh, only the pro controler has made it tolerable, graphics do need improvement, so they can expand on zelda and pokemon open world games, the only thing they need to guarantee is backwards compatibility, and expect a slow transition, rather than expecting everyone to buy it on day one
Definitely, overall the switch is pretty good but the flaws are really apparent, like you said with joycon drift and backwards compatibility. It's interesting how they'll fix this as releasing an "updated" switch or switch 2 would've already happened but since it hasn't, the next thing is probably gonna be something complelely new.
Define "need". I've been saying in my own content that commercial performance, not hardware performance, is the only relevant metric when determining the necessity of a generational transition. Some end users may get frustrated by the lack of hardware advancement, but until the games stop selling, Nintendo is under zero pressure to introduce something new.
@@littleakibagames Pretty much like you said, the only time Nintendo would "need" to release something is if there isn't anything already, basically the switch is so irrelevant that something would need to take its place as the "hot new" Nintendo console. But right now they're not in this position with games like BOTW 2 coming and the switch still selling very well
It's nice seeing a switch video that isn't "OMG IS A NEW CONSOLE COMING IN A COUPLE MONTHS!?!?" I swear the switch 2 is the new switch pro rumors that makes people go crazy every 3 months. I predict a new console after the mario kart 8 dlc is done. Probably 2 years after the dlc so mario kart 8 with all of the new dlc can be a launch title for the new system.
Very true, there's a lot going with new stuff coming and Nintendo is gonna give it some time to settle once it does so there's really no evidence that anything is actually coming in the near future.
@@PiePurplji streaming is very wifi dependent and for many people, they aren't necessarily rocking top dollar services. So streaming *right now* could be an awful idea...
Exactly, Nintendo pretty much never been the leader technology wise (unless they're a monopoly with NES) but they're successful because of their creativity and quality of their games that make people wanna buy them, regardless of the graphics
I feel like Nintendo found the system that has something unique and formal. Sony and Microsoft keep making new consoles with the same name. It sounds weird but, could Nintendo pull off another Nintendo Switch like system, make it more powerful and retain those traits? Obviously, it would need good marketing, not whatever that was back in the Wii U era (still liked it though).
Yea that's the hard part as saying its a "new" Nintendo switch would be the Wii U again, just confusing everyone and ultimately failing. I think it is possible as Nintendo is pretty creative but I do see how its difficult to keep the uniqueness and charm of the switch without presenting it as "Here's the switch 2, give us more money by buying the same thing but slightly different"
Yes they can, back then with the NES the same thing happened every generation. We just depend on how technology advances, if it doesn't there won't be major improvements.
@@rodrigoandrescoloane True but nowadays Nintendo is moreso sticking to their niche of not being the "most advanced" system for better quality in their product and games
As someone who’s about to buy my first personal switch, I’m glad it’ll still be relevant for a while. I’m gonna get the nice Tears of the Kingdom switch as my first switch, which I think will be pretty cool cause not many people are going to be getting that one
That's good and definitely worth for at least the 2-3 years so there's still good value in it, especially with special editions like that since people that buy them are usually collectors so this is a unique first experience! Hope you enjoy it!
@@PiePurplji yeah thanks, I think it’ll be a cool one to own, and there’s lots of games for the switch at this point so I think I’ll definitely be able to have a good few years of enjoyment out of it
Let’s get you to 500 subs I like your view on the switch. What if Nintendo is going to make an add on to the switch like vr or a graphics booster to bring hype back. I have no idea how the intricacies of the switch work but just a thought
I could see that as a possibly since they're continuing with the switch for a while longer but not sure cause both of them kinda exist with the VR labo and the OLED model but still a possiblity
