Switch 2 Leaks & Rumors GALORE! (Motherboard, 4K DLSS, & More)

7:10 “hopefully the switch 2 hardware runs the eshop better” Bro, a fucking toaster can run the eshop better than a switch 1, it has to be an optimization issue somewhere there’s no way that bland ass UI is that demanding 😂

[@lol-ih1tl]

Switch's built-in internet browser used for the eShop, the NSO app, and image sharing (and Wi-Fi login for some networs) was super ancient. Switch 2 will have a much newer browser, so it'll run much faster by default.

[@Jeff1N]

It's not a native app, it's a website running through the browser, and Switch's OS only reserve a tiny bit of RAM for the browser

[@harrydavey9884]

It's pretty straightforward, it loads the ENTIRE page into the RAM on the shitty Switch Browser. The Switch has 4GB and 1GB is usable by the browser, so when you're on a page that's displaying 9,000 tiles, it's just massively overwhelming to the hardware.

[@robertnewton2304]

I really hope there's more to the Switch 2 than just a graphics bump and some minor hardware changes like magnet joycons. I would be happy if it had a new eShop and maybe theming... I would also love for some wild and crazy hardware ideas... Thanks for the coverage. I have been trying to avoid rumors, but wanted to watch the video.

[@doubleoart07]

Yeah, it was dumb seeing themes in the beginning thinking we would see more than what just amounted to light and dark themes.

[@ob1slam]

I'm personally praying they DON'T do "some wild and crazy hardware ideas".

[@Grey-The-Skeleton]

The Switch can just become another console line like the DS used to be, that's alright. It has already got such a perfect form factor, all it needs now is power, really.

I didn't mind 8nm or 5nm or Samsung or TSCM or 4TFLOPS or 3TFLOPS. I just want all Switch 2 games running at locked (if can) 60fps 1080p handheld & 60fps 2K/4K TV with respectable graphics & battery life (handheld). I'm believed in secret sauce that Nintendo & Nvidia put in this Switch 2

[@lukethephantomthief]

I am hoping any day now we get a surprise out of nowhere Switch 2 presentation like how they fully revealed the original console in January 2017

[@Tyrique009]

USB type C on the bottom and top. Top for charging / Accessories. Potentially a camera? Hopefully a special sensor bar for the joycons so they can port wii games and not have to deal with constant recentering/cursor drift issues. A C button? C for chat, cast, compile, customizer? So many options but what do you want it to be?

[@lol-ih1tl]

The top usb port is for tabletop charging

[@petit-pedestre2334]

WAIT, Project X ZONE 2 did have Nintendo characters in it. Could that outsourced piece suggest maybe a port of the games or maybe even a sequel?

[@Wallie33.]

Hopefully a sequel. I took that comment as a new game that just so happens to have more Nintendo guests than project x zone 2. Nonetheless if that’s the case I be extremely hyped lol. Wonder how the game would look on the switch 2 since it’s such a big power upgrade compared to the 3Ds and curious how the special attacks animations would look now since they already look so good on the 3Ds.

I’m just gonna put it this way, it’s not a good sign when you have devs leaking games for your unannounced console. Nintendo is better off announcing the Switch 2 before more leaks start popping up.

[@socialmediaaccount4206]

Andre, do you think the new switch cartridges will have a notch? Like the DS and 3DS. I heard you talk about catridge sizes being affected

I don't think so. They'll just make the cartridges a different color.

[@Dorfdad]

So what do you think about them not including the controllers with the base console? Dropping the price point 75.00 and allowing you to use old controllers if you want. Of course you will buy the new ones but it offers a cheaper value for sale

Guys, I am from one of the futures, and I have this to say: The C button is to call an AI assistant that will interact with your games. Example: Imagine you're stuck in a game, and instead of using google to find a solution you can ask using the C button. Or get good...

[@lzap_CZ]

No MicroSD slot, I am disappointed a bit.

[@Justgregular88]

Nintendo, just reveal it already

[@enashimo]

I hope the chips they used doesn't actually turn out to be from Samsung Foundry, they are well known to have thermal issues even in their Samsung Galaxy lineups, as well as them making Tensor chips for Google phones, which also have terrible performance. They made the Exynos chips for mobile devices and they were always inferior in terms of efficiency, thermals, and performance wise to Qualcomm's Snapdragon chips. Not to mention the fact that when they made Snapdragon chips, (the 888 and 8 Gen 1) performance was garbage and couldn't sustain its performance at all since they kept throttling

[@HankDeanMan]

Custom Robo makes sense. We got all Mario RPGs within a Year

[@Jormunguandr]

Nintendo: "fools! Ya'all got tricked😂"

[@jasonmg99]

I think it may as well be like a last gen system (ps4 undocked) and a current gen system at the same time (docked). The new dock seems like it's certainly going to have some tech that upscales the game where they feel more like a current gen version of the game playing in handheld mode

Why is everyone pretending like DLSS 4k is a good thing?

[@JoiningIrons3306]

The Switch 2 will probably be revealed on January 8th 2025. Rumours say the console will have a 9 in the launch title and that could be Mario Kart 9. It could launch with 32 tracks and no crossover characters and get DLC packs, adding crossover characters and double up the tracks to 48. It’s weird that the Blue Falcon is in the series but Captain Falcon isn’t. So why don’t they come in form of the DLC? I want them to ditch the metal characters, Cat Peach, Tanooki Mario, Peachette, the Blooper Item and Coin Item, make the Koopalings alts for Bowser Jr., the baby characters alt’s for each other, Dry Bowser an alt for Bowser, bring the Fake Item Box, Mega Mushroom, Pow Block, Super Leaf and the Ice Flower back, add commentary as the Arcade GP series has it, bring Mission Mode back as it was supposed to return in Wii and add Professor E. Gadd since he was going to be in DS, and by October, we could get Super Mario Journey. By March 2026, we could get a new 3D Kirby game, possibly a sequel to Forgotten Land. We could get to see playable Elfilin and Clawroline for the first time and they could bring back the Dream Palace Allies as well. Halfway through 2026, we could get Splatoon 4 and Pikmin 5, considering a 3 year gap between Pikmin 3 Deluxe and Pikmin 4, by September, we could get a new Zelda game, considering a 2 year gap between Breath of the Wild, Link’s Awakening remake and Skyward Sword HD, and by the end of the year, we could get Super Smash Bros. Legends and hopefully they’ll ditch World of Light, bring Subspace Emissary back and update the movesets of some characters. We could get Super Mario Maker 3, Luigi’s Mansion 4, Super Mario Galaxy 3 and a successor to Super Mario Party Jamboree by 2027 as it’s been 5 years since we had Super Mario Maker 2 and Luigi’s Mansion 3. They could add a Mario Wonder game style to Super Mario Maker 3 so 3D World isn’t just the extra game style and they could bring the Amiibo costumes and the Weird Mushroom back, for Luigi’s Mansion 4, the game could be in an Airbnb and we might get to see Luigi save Daisy for the first time in the series and for the successor to Jamboree, everyone from the previous Mario Party entries could return like how everyone returned for Smash Ultimate. By 2028, we could get a new Paper Mario game, considering a 4 year gap between The Origami King and the TTYD remake. I hope the console sells well and has 4K and 60 FPS. I probably won’t get it day one, or maybe not at all. I might wait for Smash Legends to be announced and then get the console with Mario Kart and get other games later on.

I'm hoping Kingdom Hearts 4 gets announced for switch 2. If the Switch is as powerful or at least close to as powerful as a Xbox Series S with the help of DLSS then there is no excuse for switch 2 to not get ports anymore. Every game that comes out on Xbox Series X needs to come to Series S as well day one. And the Series S is just a glorified Xbox One X/PS4 pro with a SSD taped to it.
