I don't really have a problem with the Switch. It's great! I fits all my needs, and I 100% understand if they want to make it the same, just even better.

I hope they keep it the same overall, with small improvements everywhere. Especially inside hardware ofc.

How am I supposed to fit that into my purse

It really does look like its just a "Switch Pro"

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Until Nintendo doesn't show anything official, there's no confirmation that this is actually the successor of the Switch.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There's enough leaks at this point, it's pretty safe to assume Nintendo is just being Nintendo on the announcement. I swear I play leaked builds of half their games before they're even announced these days.

Nintendo Switch 2 accessories by Genki were made based on leaks, not actual device, company representative confirms.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

... Like I said. There's enough leaks

This supports the rumor that there will be no OLED screen in the Switch 2 which is disappointing

Have to plan ahead for the mid-cycle upgrade

Will the joy con last more than a week? No joke they quality of joy con is to shitty for the price

Is anyone kinda....unimpressed? It just seems like a slightly bigger version of the switch. I was kinda hoping for something more substantial...

Do you own an apple phone? yeah they are all the same

Is that a magsafe ring?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Yes-ish. It is part of the 3rd party case that is being rendered, and is for attaching their external SSD that is MagSafe compatible.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

They should call it Nintendo OY. But I don't think anyone would get it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The exclusive games will need to be really good if a design like this is to sell well. Otherwise they are heading for another Wii U situation.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Considering how long they’ve waited to release this thing, I don’t see them coming out the gate without some heavy hitters

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Hell yeah! Fresh new stick drift. Stoked!

For real. The Steam Deck and hall effect joysticks make the switch kind of pointless
