Nintendo Switch 2 (New Console)

Seems a reveal may not be too far off.

I expected this - I figured before Tears of The Kingdom that between that game and a final Mario (which we now know is Super Mario Wonder) that the two of them would represent something of a swansong for the current generation.

You never know with Nintendo but I’m not expecting a completely different looking console, particularly since it’s supposed to be backwards compatible.

I expect it to be a beefed up version of the OLED Switch, with a camera and a new chipset and GPU, basically.

Maybe for streaming? The PS5 has the HD camera accessory and you can stream directly to Twitch/YouTube.

Whereas with the Switch, lots of people stream with it but you need a capture card into your PC and to do it via OBS.

Yet by Christmas people were fighting outside stores to get them

I really hope they just phone it in and don’t try to over complicate it.

Modern SOC, 1080P OLED display, figure out joycon drift, fully backwards compatible.

Take my money.

Just watched the trailer and thought it was a very well put together announcement. Just wish we got a bit more information about it but that is just me being impatient

Definitely will becone my first ever day one purchase. Ive loved the Switch so having one with better specs and a few different features is a no-brainer. Hope it isnt too long before release!

Held off on a Steam Deck OLED for ages and refuesed to buy an OLED Switch so late in the lifecycle (with hindsight not as late as I thought!).

This will definitely be a day one purchase. If only to play my Switch backlog. Very easy to justfiy with the kids now being the perfect age!

Anyone else wanting to preorder this straight away? Never been too bothered about new launches but I have loved the Switch so much that I just want to get my hands on this as soon as possible!

I pre-preordered on shopto. Not sure if that will help the actual preorder…. If not I will be. I’ve enjoyed switch but interested in some slightly smoother experiences on some of the more demanding games/ new games not yet out.

We don’t know yet. Hopefully it opens when I’m not teaching so I can get myself one :grin:

Definitely getting the Switch 2 as soon as possible. Not a bad price and it seems they’ve made a lot of really nice improvements. Plus Mario Kart World looks genuinely great and a bit of a difference direction was definitely what was needed after 8 Deluxe. No way they could beat that doing the same thing as before.

Just need to wait for pre-orders now!

Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut and Final Fantasy 7 Intergrade as launch titles makes me very happy!!!

Really nice selection of games announced really. Although they definitely don’t seem to want people to get physical games anymore with the higher prices. Also not quite sure why the welcome tour is paid, but apart from that, nothing to complain about. And glad it isn’t too long until the release.

Gonna have to do my best to get one from another site. Haven’t had NSO for 2 years continuously so won’t be getting anything from there

Yeah, it does baffle me as well. Can’t imagine many people buying it to be honest. Certainly doesn’t interest me in the slightest

Any ideas if Amazon and other sites will put pre orders up on the 8th as well?

It seems the Switch 2 did have stock at Smyths at some people managed to buy it. But out of stock already. Obviously no idea if they really had much stock or if an error with their website, but there are screenshots on twitter of people buying it

Amazon is doing somthing I’ve not seen from them before - invitations to preorder. Might be worth getting on that list.

Any ideas how they decide who to invite? Do they favour prime members?
