With Shuntaro Furukawa's statement on the Switch successor, we know that attention will soon turn to manufacture of the Switch 2. What will that look like and what are the unique challenges that Nintendo may be wrestling with behind the scenes?

Better than many “content creators” who just nick other tweets and painfully stretch out the “news” and rumours discussions with clickbait channels over and over through 10 videos to play the KZbin algorithms despite having nothing real to say.

i think they'll just solve it by making them bigger, considering the (reportedly) increased size of the system itself. they can use more traditional analog sticks, e.g. switch pro controller, which are far less prone to drifting (though... they do still drift occasionally)

There's indeed fix found by the community and and the good thing is it only needs a piece of paper.. The issue is a mechanical one where the bottom metal part which handles contact to the stick itself become loose over time... The paper ensures that said metal will not become loose. Also Ifixit has a nondrift joycon for sale where they redesigned the joystick metal casing addressing the issue and to be more fortified..

Love the videos NF. You cram so much detail into many varied points while making the video have clarity of direction. You have a terrific cadence of speech thats both confidence and light, you dont drone on, you pepper the deep dive with light humor without it being about the humor, which for me creates a very genuine easy going demeanor. I feel like this channel is made just for me. We have similar accents too. Kinda feels like im having my ear talked off by a hyper focused friend. ❤ Keep it up my guy. You're videos are the best.

I have to disagree with you slightly at the end of the video. I think the Switch 2 will release a little later than the end of this year. They went out of their way to announce a switch exclusive direct for the remaining fiscal year plus, I am pretty sure they have gone on record on wanting to beat the PS2 sales which would require a little extra work at the end. Either way, fantastic video.

Great video, but keep in mind that the spike in prices during Covid (and also the ensuing inflation) was mostly caused by Supply shortages rather than by extraordinary demand increase. Yes demand did increase, but supply decreases were the main culprit and is still the main reason for inflationary pressures today.

they just need to NOT replicate the issues the WiiU had when advertising. ofc the reveal of the switch and wiiu are NIGHT & DAY difference, they just need to keep that consistency now. I mean i own a WiiU but its safe to say the game pad isnt a great selling point, save a couple games that make good use of it. Also not repeat the 3DS launch issue with it being so overpriced... i think theyll do fine, gamers arent that hard to figure out, just market it being a stronger switch and add 1-2 more features and theyre golden.
@pattersong6637
@pattersong6637 Ай бұрын
The 3DS' problem was that it was expensive, released towards the trough of a recession, AND had basically no compelling software in the launch window. When it got compelling software and when its price was slashed it recovered really nicely. It's a trap Nintendo COULD fall into but the very fact that they apparently delayed the Switch 2's launch date to make sure the launch software lineup will be solid is really reassuring it won't. I don't think the Wii U's failure is even possible for the Switch 2. The Wii U fed off of Nintendo having basically dead 2011 and 2012s for the Wii and enthusiasm for it falling off dramatically coupled with a combination of doubling down on the Wii branding right when it was losing appeal while having very little of "Wii" style software for people who would be interested. The Wii U was a hardcore Nintendo fan machine stuck with Wii casual branding and ended up making neither side really happy or trusting of it. Switch is not only stronger than the Wii ever was but its popularity never really faded like the Wii's did over its lifetime. A lot of people want the "Next Switch" in ways people didn't really clamor for "the next Wii." I think the 3DS' failure of having a too high price point and not enough compelling software at launch is way more realistic than a Wii U repeat.

​@@pattersong6637Even then I kinda doubt a 3ds repeat here. They are taking a bigger risk here so they probably have more studios dedicated to making sure switch 2 has a good launch

The 2DS is actually a single screen, single board console to reduce costs which then mandated the slab form factor. This is interesting as manufacturing simplicity could reduce features however a balance can be achieved and smartphone component suppliers have progressed in their tech since 2017 and 2011.

I think that we're going to see the Switch 2 and the Switch Lite co-existing, similar to their home/handheld devices before the Switch. Big AAA games go to the Switch 2; smaller games and HD ports go to Switch 1. We're still going to see games support for the Nintendo Switch for years to come. (Of course, this would mean backwards compatibility would be a given).
