Recently there's been a bunch of new rumours floating around about a sequel to the Nintendo Switch launching in 2025, from magnetic joy cons, to a better dock, to HEATED CONTROLLERS.
Okay I made that last one up
But things are FINALLY in motion, with Nintendo themselves announcing that they will reveal the console in the next 6 months, and it seems like an announcement trailer is imminent
What i wanna do is take all the real rumours, and use them to help create an accurate prediction for the switch 2, Updated with everything thats new.

[@VoidLordHades]

I'm still hoping for a 3ds port (i checked, it probably will fit on the switch 1, and it could be clamshell)

[@danmarm5357]

I think everyone is getting the magnet parts wrong. I don’t think they will get rid of the rails. Rails are always super secure and rigid, the amount of force the magnet would need to be strongly attached would be huge. Making it clearly dangerous if someone put a finger in between the joycon and the switch. Also magnets can’t never be strong enough to hold the switch if you do any kind of bending motion. The thing they will be using the magnets will be to replace the back button that you always have to press to release the joycons. That thing is connected right now to a plastic thing that is easily broken and is kinda a pain in the ass. A magnet would be a perfect fit to fix that L shaped plastic thing that holds the joycons to the switch, but the rails would still be in the new switch. Can’t believe how people can imagine joycons using only magnets as the only holding method, is just out of a fairy tail.

[@jacobkirk1846]

I think you’re 100% on the money

[@ruskcoder]

Yeah exactly, in what world will magnets be strong enough to hold slight bends? Magnets to snap the joycon in place in the rail makes sense. Someone should use magnet paper to check the new charging stand to see the magnetic capability of it!

[@deapless]

I actually do believe a clip-on magnet system could work. They could use weaker magnets for initial connection and then have some kind of attachment mechanism that holds the joy con in place more securely. It would make removing and attaching more seamless. But yea they might just stick to rails

[@LButtonX]

@@deapless yea

[@ruskcoder]

@@danmarm5357 also, what if the switch dies, then you can't put your joycons on? So the joycons will magnetize initially, but the strong magnet won't come into effect...?

[@Etienne.6329]

Magnetic controllers won’t attach like the current joycons, it’s wayyyy too risky for many reasons. It is much more likely the joycons will lodge into moulded "joycon beds" on the sides. It will allow the S2 to have ergonomic grips (one of the biggest complaints) at the cost of being bigger without the joycons (something nobody cares about). In that configuration, the magnet only keeps the joycons in place... and not the entire console (which, again would be a terrible idea)

[@stefanlink9984]

I dont think that either. The strong magnetic field would really hinder Wifi performance and either the wifi or the magentic rail needs some big workarounds so that both can work properly.

[@racerunner1234]

I honestly like the current joy con attaching system

[@rik4351]

yeah. They're doing LCD because of costsaving measures and then they spend a huge amount of R&D on some novel attatchment system using electropermanent magnets because the rails were kinda mid??? doesn't make any sense

[@tristanweide]

The joycon rails and the release button breaking is a serious issue with the current switch. It may be to prevent them from getting damaged if the console is dropped

[@shrub9677]

[@jacoL8]

I clicked on this video expecting a guy talking over a slide show, but I am presently surprised! great video!

[@TwilightWolf032]

I want the Switch 2 to have infrared lights imbued on the system itself (with the ability to turn them On or Off at will, both to save battery life and to stop interfering with existing Sensor Bars if present), and for the right Joy Con to have the IR sensor on the top of the controller, so we can have Wii games ported to the Switch 2 without having to compromise on anything!

[@maricthehedgehog]

There are rumors that there will be 2 extra buttons under ZL and ZR button respectively, I am predicting that they will be like the back buttons that you see in modern controllers

[@mqrxhe]

This is by far the best rumor-overview video I have ever seen. You are punctual, don't over-exaggerate, and just lay down news and information, all without being insistent on viewer interaction (likes, subscribes). Not to mention the great effects; some of the 3D text shown integrated with on-screen gameplay was really impressive. Great introduction to this channel, I hope to see more!

I'm just praying they don't make it too much bigger. I think the biggest charm of the switch is its size, so making it the size of something like a steamdeck completely ruins what they have going already in my opinion.

[@TheAbsol7448]

I've seen some people make insane claims about the hardware. Some people _genuinely_ believe it'll run games at 4K60 and have ray tracing, which is stupid for what will be a cheap-ish handheld. The Steam Deck should give us a good idea of what to expect.

[@Killyoh]

It could be true on a handful of little games. Capabilities doesn't mean that every game will have them all at once. DLSS 3 is a powerful tool and while it's not magic it could compensate for technical shortcomings

At this rate, with the amount of switch 2 videos on youtube every day, when Nintendo does announce it, no one is going to believe it or watch the video

[@kacperolszowski1331]

The magnetic joycons are such a terrible idea, there is no way that magnets this small would be able to hold weight of entier console, especially on car on train rides where there is rough terrain and a lot of bumps. The console would just go flying and the joycons would be left in your hands

[@Elmex_1]

The charge stand might be new or whatever, but there's this thing called "charging grip" that's existed as an accessory since 1 day one. It's like a regular joycon "grip" (which lets you turn 2 joycons into one controller), only this one has a USB-C hole on it. This was the go-to way to charge joycons if you didn't want them attached on the system. You can distinguish the different from normal grip and the charge grip from color and opacity/transpacenry. The non-charging grip (which comes with system) is matte black, whilst the charger grip accessory is lighter tone of black and is transparrent.

[@RhemaOssai]

I hope Nintendo’s version doesn’t differ too much

[@sdbegotist]

Had a few predictions for what I’d want with a Switch 2, but without bogging things down down too much, here is what my hopes are: - Backwards compatibility with games and official controller schemes (sorry Pokeball controller) - Retiring the Amiibo NFC support for the new controller scheme (retained on the older controllers) - Removal of the IR Camera - System launches with two models, mimicking the Switch and Switch Lite releases - Re-implement WiHDMI for the new systems, previously seen for the Wii U. Allows for a Wii U mode for select games and better emulating DS/3DS releases

"Hey kid... heh... want to stick your hands inside this box and feel the new... uh... Nintendo Switch?"

[@tannercampbell5148]

All the rumors around magnetic joycon that I’ve seen have just said magnetic, not electromagnetic. There are a lot of clasps out there that use magnets to pull things together, but then it trips some kind of mechanical clasp that holds things in place stronger than a magnet. Fidlock is a big brand that makes this kind of stuff. Just imagine if you had a car seat belt buckle with a magnet in it. The magnet could draw in the tab, but then a spring clicks and it is locked in.

[@user-rm9qi9lz4u]

This is a much more likely explanation of all the magnetic rumors.

[@ChucklesTheChicken]

I think a good name for it would be "Super Nintendo Switch" like Super Nintendo Entertainment System. I just pray they don't call it the New Nintendo Switch.

0:25 From what I've seen of the leaks, nobody is claiming the chip will be as powerful as the PS4 Pro. People said that it could be on par with the PS4 Pro if it uses DLSS. The thing that was confirmed during the hack was the existence of the chip, nothing of the specs though.

I was a college student when the Streetpass on the 3DS worked and it was SO MUCH FUN! I'd love to see it make a return! Something like that would definitely make me take the console everywhere with me.

[@Inkhaurt-Design-Art]

The rail system is already a very solid and practical solution, so no need to complicate things with magnets and such. I mean, why mess with perfection? And we need to stress on the fact that backward compatibility for games is a MUST and they better stick to that. Nintendo should offer the Switch 2 in two options: *Switch 2:* Comes with the classic Joy-Cons design with better buttons/triggers/sticks, aimed at casual users that will dock it to a TV and play with friends or family. Comes with a smaller standard LCD panel. *Switch 2 Pro:* Comes with Joy-Con Pro with ergonomic grips, better buttons/triggers/sticks and also programmable buttons on the back to enhance the gaming experience for solo players. Comes with a bigger OLED display. Both options come with the same CPU+GPU. The only differences would be Joy-Cons which you could buy separately and interchange as you please, and the second difference being display types.
