*** Nintendo Switch ***

[BS Dave]

If the Switch 2 can do DLSS4 the GFX are going to be sweet! I wonder if it was held back so as not to show it off before Nvidia showed off their GPUs?

I really hope it has a dpad on the left joycon and not buttons.

The mountain of leaks says no.

But you got me thinking did anyone try the hori controller that had a d pad for the switch?

I still use it. Miles better for tougher platformers like Celeste or Hollow Knight. Buttons were so frustrating for me. I’d buy another one if the S2 has buttons.

Former marketing manager for Nintendo on twitter said that from what they've heard, despite all the real leaks, Nintendo management intends to not bring the announcement forward and will stick to their timeline for announcing the switch 2

I hope the switch 2 can play switch games at an improved framerate and resolution.

I hope the switch 2 can play switch games at an improved framerate and resolution.

I have absolutely no doubt it can, but it will require patches to do so, which I'd hope we'd get at least for the first party titles, which to be fair are the only ones I care about anyway.

What I doubt is if the higher resolution and frame rate will be available without a fee. This is Nintendo after all.

The fee is you have to buy a switch 2

The fee is you have to buy a switch 2

I seriously doubt that it will be that alone, somehow they will manage to turn it into a subscription feature.

I'd bet you everything I own they will not hide a performance patch behind a paywall.

I hope it play's switch games without any sillyness.

I remember the Wii U using the Wii channel section to play Wii games and needing gamecube memory cards for gamecube games the Wii.

 

[Cromulent]

I hope I can use my Switch SD card with the Switch 2. I imagine that the Switch 2 will support faster SD cards but I still have quite a bit on my original Switch SD card.

I think what you meant to say was "remaster" or "deluxe" edition.

Of course they won't. Nintendo do whatever the **** Nintendo wants. They couldn't care less what the rest of the world thinks.

Precisely this.

I’d love to be wrong but Nintendo also love money.

Can't blame them, this is all free publicity and hype and they don't have to do a thing

Adding to the rumour pile.... Eurogamer reporting from a leaker NateTheHate (who was spot on breaking the news that Microsoft would go "multiplatform" last year) that Microsoft will be on board with Switch 2 as a "very big supporter" with them planning to release the Halo Master Chief Collection and Flight Simulator.... in 2025

 

[XPE]

Master Chief Collection would be a good game for launch but I don't see it happening

Flight Sim ? Hell, no ! Get it fixed and working properly on PC first ! This is what happened to MSFS 2020 ... as soon as they started patching it up to be playable on Series consoles the sim just became increasingly unstable. And now we have MSFS 2024 which is an even bigger mess.
