I hope there will be accessories that the joycons slot into to make the mouse functionality more comfortable because holding them on their side doesn't sound very ergonomic.
Daan reminds me of Notch 💀
I want more cross save (think witcher 3, civ 6, divinity original sin 2) between switch 1/2/PC/ ….
I’m calling it now the switch 2 will be scalped to shit and no one will get one just like the first switch launch
I have a feeling that the concept of the Switch, handheld and console, will stick for a very long time. So, they wouldn't get rid of the word Switch and just use numbers ex 3, 4, 5 going forward.
It was good 👍
Mouse is going to be for fps games and Camera control while the other hand will be action commands. I'm predicting that.
26:48 They’re gonna launch that MMO playtest game with the Switch 2 to push the new online. The mouse would be perfect for a game like that. Especially with the UGC 3D modeling mode. Add in the built in voice chat functionality and you’ve got a great new social hub to convince people to pay for a more expensive online.
Kid Icarus uprising remake with mouse pointer controls.
Don't get your hopes up. Mario maker at launch is far too ambitious. The game using the mouse will be "12 Switch 2"
I don't think they will continue supporting the original switch after a year only for the fact that the reveal says 2 has exclusives
The L & R buttons need to be capacitive so you can use them to scroll/zoom in mouse mode.
Stay tuned for the 36hrs later video then 7 days later then 4 weeks later then 8 weeks then every day until the direct. Then we start again ….
32:55 Rumoured?????????
I'm actually 2nd guessing whether to buy Okami '2' now after Hidemi's appalling comments. 🤮 Yes leakers do annoy people – but to go to that extreme, what sort of human being is he to b low it all up so much?! Loved the 1st game & was so happy at Okami '2' but what's his issue?? The Switch 2 Reveal was short, Snappy and clean! I don't want a pandemonium circus or 1000 photogrammetric rendered Marios invading some big City – I just wanted to see a nice larger, sleeker looking Switch & got just that!
If they want Zelda at launch it's coming out September at the soonest.
I'm impatient to know the specs as well, but I can't deny the effecticeness of this reserved teaser, which seems to have made the public happy yet still ravenous with curiosity.
The most anticipated news about the Switch 2 is its power–what kind of software it can expect to run. I think it is best Nintendo keep this entirely to themselves until April rather than blowing their load in a casual flyby reveal six to nine months before launch.
20:50 I think April's Direct will reiterate that Switch 2 will be backwards compatable, but I don't think they'll be devoting time or focus to OG Switch games running on Switch 2. Talking about old games shouldn't be Nintendo's priority when talking about a new system. At best, this is relatively unsensational news. At worst, it confuses the Switch 2's identiry as a seperate, brand new console.
If Nintendo wants to confirm how well old games run on Switch 2, they can do so in smaller scale news feeds, like interviews or a future direct.
45:05 Using both mice at once. New Star Fox game controls there.
No talk about what kind of screen it will have is an odd admission.
19:57 the steamdeck trackpads are basically required for a lot of pc games, i use it all the time. what games are you playing that you dont need it?
I'm sorry, but nobody put the joy cons on upside down… or "backwards"
Next time, don't believe the fake leaks! They found a date a few days in advance and guessed its purpose. Nintendo never promised a full reveal so this trailer really was to quell the leaks. Probably it was forced early, too, rather than shown at the end of the software Direct normally in mid February or even by itself in early March. The main reveal was always April.
The Wii U name failed because people were already bored of the Wii. The last thing wanted was another Wii and more gimmicks. If you look back, Nintendo are very descriptive with names, and a "2" is the most descriptive of all. It makes complete sense given the Switch's wild success.
I fully expect Metroid Prime 4 as the big farewell Switch game, and the focus of the usual Direct in mid February. "Coming soon" was recently added to its initial and vague "2025" schedule, so releasing it early March with not much else around will give it a huge chance to sell well. If there's some boost option for it on Switch 2, that will make it appealing there too. Nintendo rarely do "cross gen" (Zelda twice the main exception) so I would not bet on a double release at all. Remember, Switch could not play WU games at all, unlike Switch 2 to Switch.
MK has never been a launch game so the fact Mario hasn't been one since the N64 would not disqualify it at all. It really could be either, while leaning towards MK because there hasn't been brand new one for so long.
54:26 I can't believe I never thought about that. That's absolutely part of the reason why the eShop is so bad. It was designed to be used in handheld and somehow they never figured out a workaround
So good to see the GameExplain discussions come back.
32:37 Tom is hilarious 😂
I saw elsewhere:
C button = "Connect" button ???
(meaning streaming to the dock, WiiU-style)
No one has mentioned it… So what about a Tears of the Kingdom, 4K upgrade with DLC at launch a la Ghosts of Tsushima Directors Cut?
GX what’s next 72 hours later? Smh come on bruh enough.
they need to put Nintendo eShop music and
wallpaper like 3ds.
what for Avatar icons
what's going to be new menu switch 2. will be removing shovelware games on switch 2?
what for nso games, gamecube or wii
