*** The Official Nintendo Switch 2 ***

[chrismscotland]

I mean, I like the idea of a handheld, but if it's just Mario games and naff all else, yeah this is a hard sell especially if it's £400.

You clearly have never looked at the Switch software catalogue, there's massive 3rd party support beyond what Nintendo offer and this seems like it'll have even more with strong rumours of Microsoft jumping on board.

how long before broken ones start appearing for me to buy There is no way I am buying one retail.

Launch Day + 1

How did they take such a step backward on the screen? Bezels are WAY bigger again and potentially no OLED?

This is exactly why I don't see this being a £400 console, it feels much more 'cheap introduction to the market' and likely to be followed up with a more premium offering later.

I'll likely dabble. Need to assert dominance on the household through Mario Kart.

According to this lad, $449 without the MK bundle, $500 with.

Why do you need a bundle at release, Mario Kart would sell regardless and they would be able to sell a new Mario Kart at full price

Nintendo always have a pack in game, at least since the Wii. This is probably the Switch 2's "Wii Sports", "Nintendo Land" and "1 2 Switch"

Why would they when they can release a oled version a few years down the line to garner more sales?

Hopefully they still do coloured Joy Cons, the black ones look a bit lifeless.

 

[Grim5]

I'll be ordering th switch 2 as long as there is a decent launch game

 

[Nitefly]

Terrible, terrible trailer.

Thanks for showing us that the controllers connect a little differently.

£450! Jog on! What exactly is in this thing to justify that price? Certainly not any cutting edge or latest chipsets. I'll continue to look at at my unused Lite till the clouds clear.

 

[XPE]

Where did you find out the price from?

You don’t buy Nintendo consoles for the latest in cpu or gpu tech or consoles at all for that matter. You want that you go pc

Of course and with that you expect a value for money option with Nintendo recouping costs through volume sales. But a projected price of £450? Come on eh.

 

[Kenai]

No chance this is launching at £450, they'll make the Wii U look like a massive success if they did that
