Nintendo Switch 2 Final Predictions

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

Thank you all for the IMMENSE support on this video!!! Y'all are crazy and I love you! I tweeted about this but the thumbnail is not mine however I couldn't find the source of this image as multiple people have used it. If y'all can find the origins please let me know so I can credit their beautiful work!

[@RichiPete]

64gb is a wild prediction. Storage pricing is so cheap especially compared to 8 years ago, the MINIMUM this baby launches with is 256gb in my opinion

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

I’m trying to predict something crazy because Nintendo ALWAYS does something people can’t believe. The OG switch only had 32 GB of storage

[@frowningboat8039]

​@@RaysNintendoTalkTrue, although back then 32GB was widely available and cheap, 256GB is like that now and even if they didn't want to go that high, 128GB now costs the same or less than 32 then.

[@Hi_Names_Nat]

it's going to be ~200gb. its storage is 256 gb but the OS/recovery/etc takes up about 50 gb, leaving 200gb for the user partition (imo)

[@frowningboat8039]

@@Hi_Names_Nat probably around 210 but I get what your saying, you won't be able to use all 256GB just like with a phone.

[@sugarray1345]

My final prediction is it's going to be INCREDIBLE! 💥

[@bljman3638]

I think it was already sort of confirmed that it should have 256gb of storage and 12gb of ram, which honestly shouldn't cost that much more. Maybe the ram being LPDDR5X could bump up the price, but seeing as the original switch was very limited by it's memory speed & bandwidth I would say it's the right choice.

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

I must’ve missed that report! If so, the switch 2 will be THREE TIMES as powerful as what we have now. Absolutely insane if true

[@jesseshaver2262]

@@RaysNintendoTalkjust in terms of ram, not GPU. GPU according to reports will be about 7-9x as powerful. Both ram and GPU are important to the graphics and performance though

[@sinlessbullets]

12 gigabytes of ram sounds better

[@programmerlp]

@@RaysNintendoTalk anyway 64gb in 2025 would be embarrassing and ridiculous

[@johntitor7856]

switch oled has 64Gb. switch 2 will have 128Gb (4xswitch or 2xswitch oled)

[@jmcclain8237]

I declare that the next system will be an improvement on the existing system. I know, I know, I'm going out on a limb, but I'm sticking to my guns.

[@wiremesh2]

Crossing my fingers for 480p

[@ChildYeeter]

@@wiremesh2fingers crossed for 20fps🤞🤞🤞

[@justadummy8076]

Praying on my knees, crying & begging for a charger included

[@Afrikkid]

Fingers crossed for 4gb ram

[@maravreloaded]

Two models 7" and 8" 12gb ram 128-256gb storage. Power between 5,5 teraflops docked 2,8 handheld. 16gb ram 512gb storage. Power between 8,5 teraflops docked 4,8 handheld. Cartridges are wider so can't enter a regular Switch. Both consoles are thicker.

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

That would be interesting for sure. Backwards compatibility is confirmed now so I think this rumor is debunked unless its only digital

[@OctozenX]

14:08 it’ll use electro permanent magnets, which means it just needs a slight pulse of electricity to switch the magnets on or off

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

That would be amazing!

[@Dosnmeda]

Never ever is it going to be 1080p in portable mode. This would drain the battery within a couple of hours. The Steam Deck does 800p, and that is plenty enough for a handheld screen.

[@justadummy8076]

It’s also not necessary on a small screen

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

Good point

[@OctozenX]

12:18 I have like 2000 dollars worth of switch games 😭🤣😅

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

Bahaha me too, good thing backwards compatibility is confirmed now!

[@TheNerdyMemeDude]

12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB SSD storage would be awesome. Maybe similar performance to a smartphone in handheld mode and similar performance to PS4/Xbox Series S in docked mode is realistic

[@PeterMilko]

No way it will have any real 4k. More likely is it will upscale 1080 to 1440. Up scale is still a problem because frame rates will get affected.

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

We shall see! I truly don't care if it's just 1080 60 FPS as long as that's the floor for every game

[@PeterMilko]

@@RaysNintendoTalk Agree

[@jasonmg99]

i'm gonna guess (before even watching the video) is it will be like an ASUS ROG Ally in handheld mode, as was predicted months ago, and in docked mode, will be within 25% of PS5 level with the DLSS upscaling giving it a visual boost when utilized. I am also thinking that if it drops the Switch name and goes with something different, i would call it the Nintendo Flex, indicating it is a system where folks can truly play their own way, which can be standard buttons and joysticks only, with or without tilt controls, limited motion control, enhanced motion control, tabletop mode, attached/detached joycon, no rumble, standard rumble, hd rumble and ultra hd rumble, single touch input or full touchscreen controls using multiple finger movements etc, and even dual screen or no dual screen assuming it is going to utilize streaming TV features which was also rumored previously.

[@crazyTaco2213]

My guess is that graphically it'll be just slightly more powerful than a PS4, but the added DLSS and ray-tracing capabilities will make games look nearly as good as Xbox Series S

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

This is the dream tbh

[@wiremesh2]

The limitations of the Series S often shows in resolution. Many cross-gen titles actually run at higher res on PS4 Pro than on Series S. The Switch 2 with Nvidia hardware will have the best ray tracing and upscaling tech of any current console. So I think it should punch well above its weight despite being less powerful overall.

[@crazyTaco2213]

​Let's not forget about performance though. It's unlikely that Switch 2 games will support 120Hz or exceed PS5/XSX in levels of raytraced detail. We're talking about a graphics chip that is largely intended for tablets and smartphones. The results won't be cut and clear until the console comes out. ​@@wiremesh2

[@iLoveBread260]

Reveal: September Presentation: February Release: May

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

Oof I wish this had been true!

[@kewa_design]

thanks to dlss and frame generation, it will be capable to do stuff the ps4 and xbox one could never do

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

That would be cool!

[@chuckieg8523]

I just want it to be an upgraded Switch. 3DS was an upgraded DS with new features. Wii U was an updated Wii with new features. GBA was an updated GBC. Switch is great! Just upgrade it Nintendo and put it out, it’s been 8 years! And please please please keep the OLED display!

[@ewhitlock83]

I agree with you on March-May, and I also agree it will probably be April for release, even though I would prefer March because I'm so freaking excited

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

September reveal to April release adds so much more time for them to market the thing as well as letting the Switch finish up its final fiscal year when all the financial reports drop at the end of March! Agreed tho I really hope it comes sooner!

[@YanInners]

Ok y'all take notes we have to see how accurate it is

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

Please crush me if I’m totally wrong! I’ve been scarily accurate on predictions all year for Nintendo Directs and announcements and such. Also been saying it would be revealed in September October all year

[@MyAnalyser]

If its true that its fully backwards compatible, its going to be a huge success and maintain position as the most succesful console company.

[@ewhitlock83]

I honestly never had a problem with storage on the Switch, only because of the ability to add an SD card and the fact that I've always played physical media. The only way I could see storage on the Switch 2 64gb storage being a problem is if there's no slot for an sd card, and they get rid of physical games. But since I think that's highly unlikely, then I won't have a problem with 64gb. Also, for me, who only plays docked, buying an OLED was a waste of money. I had one only because I liked the white, but for my next Switch I'm not buying an OLED because it's pointless if you only played docked. And if they ever release an OLED Switch 2, I won't even consider buying one, I'll just stick with my original Switch 2.

[@mixaz7869]

My only hope is to be able to run totk on 60 fps🙏

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

PLEASE

[@volo8627]

This month they are going to release a new OLed bundle

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

Did this end up being correct?

[@Catalano25]

Thinking a game company will acknowledge physical copies and give out a digital version. Adorable

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

My point being it’s going to be backwards compatible no matter what (very unlikely they acknowledge physical copies, more likely it will use cartridges)

[@Mpoppen231]

I really hope they give acces to already purchased games at least over the E-Shop and also I want to Downlaod the save games from my current Switch to Switch 2

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

Congrats this was confirmed! Backwards compatibility

[@vlockley]

My prediction is that the new game cases will be small again similar to the height of the 3ds game cases.

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

Oooh that's a good prediction

[@enklaev1933]

Im predicting purple switch 2

[@RobertVistal-jp2cw]

Purple switch seems nice tbh

[@ROLOSMOKES]

Indigo purple like the gamecube

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

Haha that would be awesome

[@phant0mdummy]

If switch 2 doesn't come with at least 125gb at a reasonable price, they got issues.

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

Depends on the games. Most first party games are within 2-10 GBs

[@keithcastillo5434]

I tried playing the switch outside but the screen had to much glare. I wonder if the next system will fix that.

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

Also depends where you are sitting. Same thing with phones

[@hermit1255]

Will the backwards compatability mean it plays those games better?

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

I think so! Should’ve said that in the video. Simply because the hardware is more powerful the games will run smoother

[@KevinHurlburt-s2z]

I think it's funny that everyone thinks that is coming out this year when it's really coming out next year

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

I don't think anyone thinks its coming this year anymore including myself haha

[@labianfuna]

I'm pretty sure people think it's being announced this year not releasing

[@KevinHurlburt-s2z]

@@RaysNintendoTalk the switch OLED is my favorite switch

[@Amuro_Tooru]

I've yet to see a soul say that it's coming this year. Every person that I've seen said that release is next year

[@LolEleiteye]

Maybe in 2023, but not anymore.

[@cripheponine]

6:11 A reveal a year prior release? Not nowaday, no. Four months are good. A reveal in january for a release in may.

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

PS5 was from April 2019 to November 2020 Xbox series X/S was December 2019 to November 2020 Brand new consoles typically take about a year from reveal to release! Considering Nintendo confirmed its existence this past May in a tweet, I think it comes out in the March-May range

[@Omar_Little]

there are mid-level android phones with 12 or 16gb RAM. 8GB would be a pitiful amount in 2025

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

Those phones also cost a lot more than a Switch

[@burgercheese741]

am I the only one who was really just watching the background footage?

[@rocreations]

I just bought a Nintendo switch yesterday 😭

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

Bahah hey no worries you have quite possibly the greatest library of games to choose from! The next console won’t come out until next year and will probably be backwards compatible so you could trade in your switch if you wanted the new one!!

[@Darklait]

I'm gonna by the Nintendo switch 2 don't care what my mom says. Even if i have to save up for a few months

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

Save up! You have a lot of time

[@Mpho2valid]

love ur vid btw

[@R.B.90]

I would hope in handheld it's 1440p. Only because I don't really want something to be upscaled from 1080p to 4k. Seems to much of a leap. If it's native 1440p in handheld, upscale to 4k dock it makes more sense. I would also hope all 1st party games are 60fps in both modes. It's not that crazy of an ask. I'm sure the base Rog Alley could do that with Switch games now and I got that console for $399 last Christmas on sale. If the Switch 2 is $499 and it's sold at a greater loss (since Nintendo is all about getting hardware into households) then I think it could be a shockingly powerful handheld.

[@wiremesh2]

You're thinking of this the wrong way. It should work like the Switch 1, but to a greater degree. Games on Switch 1 aren't upscaled when docked. They literally run at a higher resolution because the system can increase its clock speeds when connected to external power. Combine that with the rumors that the new dock will include a cooling fan and we could see some pretty impressive upgrades while docked. Also, DLSS actually does a pretty impressive job upscaling from even pretty low resolutions.

[@ekurisona663]

i cant find the preorder link

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

It's not announced yet!

[@nesterpowers8814]

I dunno is switch 2 releasing in spring/summer or holiday 2025? If they announce it in October then it's gonna be summerish but I think if they announce anything it will be a metroid prime beyond direct in October where at the very end when they drop the release date say it will be launching with the next gen and giving the console an official name. I don't even think they will show what it looks like. But tbh after the poor reception of the PS5 pro I think they might wait until the holiday season to launch and if that's the case we won't see anything on switch 2 until at least February

[@Limbliii]

I hope the switch 2 will atleast have 120gb

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

Same, it likely will

[@gilator.]

Just 2 modells one oled and normal Problem solved ofc. Oled are more expensive 100 bucks etc.

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

Good idea

[@ADistantImage]

I'll wait for the OLED

[@joystickpolitics]

So you think a console that released 8 years ago is only gonna be $50 more expensive then the used 1? With inflation , and the fact they already started pricing games at 69? I think 450 is the minimum. I don't want cheap ass parts on a $300 priced machine. I want Nintendo to invest as much as possible into that DLSS .

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

The parts to make it are cheaper than ever and Nintendo historically sells their consoles cheaper. Most first party games will definitely be 70 dollars with some exceptions to help make up for that. They learned their lesson from the 3DS pricing debacle

[@joshuaBrooks.nicholas]

All i want to know when it is getting revealed

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

Same, reveal in January I hope

[@vertigo1721]

[@RaysNintendoTalk]

Two models?

[@lyconxero457]

Wow, for a video put out 12 hours ago your information is really kind of off, almost like you've not REALLY been paying attention to all the information floating around about the Switch successor system. People have tracked ACTUAL HARDWARE MOVEMENTS for the system so we already know in general the internal specs of the system as well as it's rough dimensions. There have already been plenty of videos and tweets that cover this info in detail. Past that, you didn't even touch on the fact that Vietnam was just hit with a massive hurricane and flooding that has completely shut down their commercial districts which include one of the main locations that manufacture Nintendo consoles. This just started at the end of last week so the repercussions will likely not be fully known for months to come BUT it is very possible that this will delay the launch and subsequently the announcement of the Switch successor system.

[@necogameing2750]

i hope the bring call of duty games to the new switch be cs the wiiu had cod of duty black ops 2 why not bring 2 and 3 and 6 to the new switch
