*** The Official Nintendo Switch 2 ***

[Shaolin Chicken]

I am but I can't remember the last time a Nintendo direct was actually good so I am also ready for the usual disappointment.

I think it will be a good one, they have been saving the best for this one

The announced two treehouse streams make me think I shall be designed to tier 3 on my Direct hopes.

 

[kakarott]

Apparently the Direct will be 1 hour long. Are orders available during or after direct?

Would be nice if Nintendo announced Gamecube games coming to Switch 2 with Nintendo Online.

Need an legal way to play F-Zero GX again.

At the end I would guess.

Need a reboot. I can see it happening this time around.

I gave up on a reboot after all these years lol

I admire your optimism! Hopefully it will be great but I won’t hold my breath.

I've got a team meeting at 2pm, I need to tell my manager something so I can keep tabs in this. :/

I have similar. I managed to block out the first half but not the second. It’s rumoured to be an hour long

I appreciate a man who can stay so positive despite so many years of crap directs.

It's not just a direct its one that will give us more details on the Switch 2 its release date, price and launch titles.

That on its own is great.

Agreed. I'm really excited .

Wrong thread.

 

[kakarott]

So what's the max you guys are willing to pay without a game?

So what's the max you guys are willing to pay without a game?

Normally I would have said £300 but considering they haven't lower the price of the original 8 years on....I would be surprised if it is the same at £300....so I am hoping for £349, but £379 would be my guess....

£400 would be my limit and that would need an OLED screen to justify it.

As @Raymond Lin said less than £400 ideally.. a lot will depend on how capable its going to be with Switch 1 games for me

 

[sx_turbo]

For me it's how capable it is against current gen hardware, how much game do developers need to cut to make it work, taking the series s for example where developers cry and stomp their feet that they have to optimise their game to work on it, this has caused delays with launches and sometimes no launch at all.

And I'm concerned that the Nvidia chip they are using is already years out of date.

 

[steve5424]

Personally specs and raw power don't bother me. Had great fun with the Switch, considering its age and limitations.

Nintendo always do decent things with theor hardware.i wouldn't say the chip is out of date, just not the latest power wise. Got to think it will perform well and its also got to provide decent battery life in handheld mode. So can't be too power hungry.

Happy Disappointment Day everyone!

Only a few more hours before Nintendo reveal a Switch 2 that doesn't stack up anywhere near some people's expectations of some kind of portable PS5 smashing out photorealistic ray traced 4K graphics at 240fps
