Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25

[@realrobrose]

If you just woke up this morning and this commercial was dropped out of nowhere with no leaks everyone disappointed would be hyped af and be like "I'm glad they put this out first instead of just staying quiet until April"

[@RachelXKnight666]

This is why I hate leaks. And as much as you want to avoid them it's almost impossible to

[@bean-charlieartz3138]

CONGRATS ON FINALLY HITTING 300K!

[@AnyGamesNecessary]

I feel like the mouse functionality will help with quite a few games. Would be a great way to play Fire Emblem as well as create an indie resurgence of RTS games.

[@Grimdel123]

Damn it… I’m in Australia and thought last night when I saw the trailer the date for more was 4th of February, because that’s how we read that date. Now I find out it’s actually 2 month later 😢

[@thatseasyforyoutosay]

Americans ruining it with their stupid date

[@scarletlibra99]

This’ll be my first Nintendo device in 13 years. Previous was DS.

[@Pickoffarwim]

You have a lot to play :)

[@scarletlibra99]

@ I’ve already got both Zeldas, Mario Odyssey and Wonder, Metroid Dread and Prime 4, and Xenoblade 3 in mind.

[@bigzi22]

Same, I’m so hyped

[@TaeInfinite]

For me was it was jumping from GameCube to Nintendo Switch.

[@jtscorecrystal]

@@scarletlibra99bruh you need to play Xenoblade 1-3 and X lol. All are great games.

[@andysauro1500]

Pharrell REALLY showed out for this reveal!

I never realized how crazy MK8 Mario looks. He looks angry.

[@ThePokestopPapi]

Dude always looked pissed lol

[@TheBLT883]

angry mario is best mario

[@wandererking]

Andy was questioning the track size for the next Mario Kart, but I think it’s mainly because of the 24 player option.

[@gavataris]

With Live Service being something tech companies have been chasing I think the mouse function will be used for map and level creators in first party Nintendo titles, such as Super Mario Maker and a Mario Kart Course Maker. Only Nintendo Online Users will be able to use the community maps.

[@David-uc6sg]

1-2 switch sold literal millions because it was a launch game. Sitting on if for after launch would have killed the sales of it.

[@ecogeek234]

The ONE day I forget my headphones for work is the day I NEED to watch KFGD live

[@sordel5866]

Bizarrely, the biggest thing selling me on this is being able to carry over my physical game cards ... there are quite a few new games that I've bought over the last three years that I just haven't played, so I'll definitely be starting with some exceptional experiences.

[@nashptv]

Mario Kart World will be like Forza Horizon 5 🫡

[@Ebos22]

Thought by then Forza itself could just be on PS and you not switch 2

[@YouTouchAgain]

A classic KF reacts ❤

[@buckbuck79]

The mouse could be used if they are remaking Kid Icarus Uprising from the 3ds.

[@ominousyoshi]

Also they could update Mario maker 2 and make it easier to create levels 😊

[@childoffilth8516]

Having a mouse would make a lot of sense for games like baldurs gate 3 that could get ported to the switch 2. Even older games like disco elysium and stuff if they find a way to make it work on games that are already out.

[@G0ldnFen1x]

Why is it that it seems like only Kevin understands how to frame by frame a KZbin video? Every time we're watching one of these where Kevin isn't on the ones and twos, there's so much fumbling with trying to pause at the right moment. I just don't understand it. Also this kind of stuff would be so much more exciting if either there were no leaks (ideal) or the team didn't report on leaks (completely doable). I understand the need to be on point with content, but, geeze, man, I watch this stuff so sedately knowing that all of this was already talked to death.

[@peepooh9813]

This'll be my first Nintendo device in year. Previous was Switch OLED.

[@Murillos1]

So? Get your cookie someplace else🤷‍♂️

[@JamesDavisMakes]

Smash cut to one year from now where Tim absolutely loves the Switch 2 mouse functionality 😜

[@syferz]

Switch 2 specs are about what was expected Steam Deck 1.6TFLOPs, NS2 1.723TFLOPs, PS4 1.843TFLOPs is how the handheld mode shakes out, it is more modern hardware than those devices as well as DLSS doubling performance as well. Docked it's 3.1TFLOPs, but more modern than PS4 Pro's 4.2TFLOPs and more comparable to Xbox Series S' 4TFLOPs, and DLSS 4 is available for this hardware.

[@ValMeri417]

Are you gonna add the tensor cores with your own hands or what?

[@syferz]

@@ValMeri417 There are 48 tensor cores, they offer the same performance any Ampere GPU at a certain TFLOPs number would, because the entire GPC runs at a certain clock to hit that TFLOPs. Estimates have DLSS 4K output taking between 2ms and 3ms, this means that the render frametime for 60fps is 13ms-14ms, which is pretty reasonable when you are rendering 1080p with nearly twice the PS4's raw performance. RT performance for Ampere is about 3 times that of RDNA1, so it should be comparable to PS5's Ray Tracing when docked. It's a current gen console, 5 years into the generation.

[@Fischihappen]

You can't just simply compare Tflops between 3 different architectures.

[@syferz]

@@Fischihappen I'm not comparing the TFLOPs, I'm comparing the architectures directly, using the TFLOPs for their own unique performance metrics on their architectures and comparing it directly. These are rough performances. GCN to RDNA performance comparison is known, RDNA to Ampere comparison is also known.

It would be sick if Nintendo made it to where you could use the OG Switch as remote play and use it as another screen! Making DS and 3DS games playable.

[@Nvaderslim]

I think the new dock design is more for putting it in the dock on a shelf type entertainment center and that's it

[@David-uc6sg]

Prime Remastered is nowhere near the best-selling Metroid game, Tim. Dread is.

[@JustJuan731]

No it ended up being Prime Remastered by like a small margin.

[@Simar94]

@@JustJuan731 where are you getting your numbers from? from what I could find MPR sold maybe 1.5m while Dread sold 3m+

[@m1lkb0xx]

What I’m interested in is the performance of the switch 2 just because some of the hype of the first Switch was that we could play last gen games on the go which was so cool at the time, but at least what I’m hearing is switch 2 will play last gen games like ps4, but with the rise now of steam os from CES we currently have handhelds that play both last gen and current gen. I know these cater to different crowds

[@scubasteve5326]

Dk is definitely looking like movie dk from what i can see.

[@AlexHonger-fj3nx]

I hope the rumors of a new 3D DK game are true, they need to do my mans justice when he's the one that put the entire company on, and he ain't had anything but ports for over a decade.

[@DataDietz]

Tim said "the core Mario cast and donkey Kong" DK IS THE ORIGINAL MARIO CAST WHAT DO YOU MEAN, TIM?!?

[@Qor-Re]

I think Nintendo should let you use Switch 1 and Switch Lite as a controller for switch 2. There are a lot of possibilities for using your own screen in desktop mode and it's never been done right.

[@ashleywang5072]

Super cool 🎉

[@ShotoStephen]

Just a few days ago I was thinking about the feature that I really wanted and the top facing USB c port is what I wanted most. Now we can charge in tabletop mode or use wired arcade sticks for fighting games. Also a GameCube controller adapter for Smash in tabletop

[@Noid1220]

Why would you even play a mouse controlled game in a plane?

[@ThePokestopPapi]

Praying to God it launches as an OLED 🙏🏽

[@That_Dan_Guy_]

Hey Tim, Nintendo is poking fun at your "Me Undies" ad read. The Switch did indeed ask, "Am I big?"

[@loganharrison9563]

Ocarina of time is the best zelda game personally. Remake lets go.

[@keithgatlin3525]

It looks like Switch Xl, like the DS XL. I’m sure it’s just me but I will be waiting until an OLED version comes out.

[@zackgray7061]

I'd really like to see trophy support. It's the main reason I don't use my Switch as much. I like trophy hunting.

[@jameelarcher6044]

As an AV professional I can tell you with almost 100% certainty it’s not going to be a cast button. Casting technology is trash and would tanish the brand if you associate casting technology with Nintendo

[@fayte0618]

The mouse controls kinda fixes the touch screen only games where its hard to play them when docked since you use the motion controls as the pointer

[@solmodal]

the lil pharrell shade is crazy😭

[@thatseasyforyoutosay]

I would love it if the "C" button was not even a button and just the amiibo reader

[@R0ndras]

I was just gonna write about AC when you mentioned it. The current AC released 5 years ago, If I'm correct its the biggest gap there has been between 2 Animal Crossing games, so its either this year and that's one of the big hits or next year. That, Mario Kart and Mario 3D are selling you 40million switches in 2 years.

[@Darkoholic]

What is the release date????

[@mertakanay]

I think the mouse functionality will be like Wii Mote in some games and they will use that opportunity to release Mario Galaxy 3

[@JassielHernandez]

The Joycons already are Wii Motes... Galaxy 1 is on the Switch, and works just like with the Wii Mote

[@MrSpradad06]

Can’t wait I’ve owned every Nintendo system and hope they have a lot of consoles produced

[@Betosketo]

So i am watching this late but i play with a mouse that has a bunch of buttons on the side, i can see the righthand mouse beings very usable with just 4 buttons and the triggers to play with.

[@NizzyDizzy]

I’m going for absolute chaos and saying Mario Kart & Animal Crossing at launch

[@bobby.palacios]

Pretty sure the mouse feature is so they can port DS games. It’ll take place of a stylus.

[@CallumHurley]

It wasn't at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="316">5:16</a>, that was just the twitter video. It was on KZbin with a tweet linking to it at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="300">5:00</a>.

Nintendo Switch 2 let’s a go!! 😮 I’m excited for Mario Kart! I hope they bring Link back. I’d love to race around as Link again.

With the direct coming so late, there are probably going to be way more leaks.

[@CaelanBassett]

Lots of potential for Mario Kart 9: Hoping for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate-style driver costumes and kart designs with color/pattern/sticker customization, maybe? Might as well do DLC drivers and stages, too; up to 2 characters, 1 stage.

It’s so funny that you guys say you don’t play your switch while docked. I got the switch on day one. I’ve never played a handheld except for maybe the first couple of days. I have kids now. Did not when it came out. It’s definitely become the family console too

[@samn4718]

Mouse? 🤔 I wonder if the “C” button is for “Computer” Mode? The biggest surprise Wii will get this year from the big N is the introduction of the Nintendo OS!

[@Neoxon619]

Slight problem with your "Prime 4 At Launch" theory, it may not work like how you think it will. Metroid is the kind of game you buy because you already have a Nintendo system, not the other way around. And what's worse, Japan couldn't give less of a shit about Metroid. So Nintendo would be risking their domestic sales for no good reason. Plus Nintendo already tried a similar tactic with the 3DS's launch, & it didn't end well.

[@firehawkd]

Did I miss where it leaked you can use the Joycon 2 as a mouse?

[@DR.DisInfect]

Def getting Metroid prime trilogy remastered with MP4 in fall. Mario Galaxy 3. Zelda Wind waker and twilight princess HD

[@MtMarshi]

I am SO glad that we are getting "only" an upgraded more powerful Switch. Nintendo I feel have learned their lesson that sometimes doing totally different things with their systems are not always welcome. The only issue I have with my switch is it's lack of power, and this looks to address that whilst offering a bigger screen for handheld play. I'll be getting this day one.

[@ajlink185]

Was the PS5 easy to get? My friends and I tried but couldn’t get one for months. Had to go EBay to get one.

[@joeyisabsb1]

The PS5 was released while there was a chip shortage so it made PS5s, in my opinion, the hardest console to find of all time.

[@garageofnonsense]

The placement of what might be the C stick is awful, if you reach for it during a game the potential to hit the home button and exit your game is too high.

[@syferz]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="550">9:10</a> I mean what is the difference from what you just said and a PS5 vs a PS4? Nintendo has never used a number to a successor, so I think you are generally right, but you aren't describing a pro, you are describing a traditional successor to a previous console, which Nintendo hasn't done in the home console space since the NES to SNES.

[@CRod840]

This looks neat. Not something I need Day 1. Also, I have a couple questions. What is this bezel they keep referring to, and what is WND?

[@geek-elite]

Reveal trailer on 1/16. Direct on 4/2. Maybe they released the trailer at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="316">5:16</a>am because.... the launch date is 5/16?

[@BlockheadJiujitsu]

I'm told it's not out until after July but we'll see

[@lukospicturehouse]

I think you all should mentally prepare for $450 and hope to be pleasantly surprised by $400, otherwise it's really setting yourself up for disaster You should also mentally prepare for $70 NS2 games and nothing bundled, because the people buying day one would be buying MK for their new system either way. You might get lucky with a bundle at Christmas time but honestly the first couple years they're going to coast off people excited to upgrade and keep selling Switch 1s as the budget alternative

[@screamsilver89]

Is it April 2nd or 4th Feb???

[@AnimeNut]

April 2nd. If you watch the trailer on Nintendo's UK channel, that screen says 2.4.2025

[@Hfhow]

Conspiracy theory but I think it makes sense. I think the Nintendo launch games will be Metroid and Mario Kart and then the big holiday game will be Pokemon. 3D Mario is next spring. And I think they will get away with it because there will be an absolutely unreal amount of indie games. I think a lot of Indie devs (Including SilkSong)are holding to release their games to when the Switch 2 drops to capitalize on the new Switch indie wave.

[@crosvale]

Imagine if the next 3d Mario is just a massive open world and you get karts to get around.

[@KeruptKiller]

Why is the bezel so LARGE on the screen??? It takes away from the picture on screen. My only complaint thus far... 😠

[@lachyjp]

so they can release an 8.2" OLED version

[@carlosflores-gaytan1589]

Mixed feelings on the Metroid Prime 4 talk. I think it's sort of crazy the guys besides Tim acted like it was of waste of Nintendo's time giving that game attention. It's a B-Tier franchise, but it's not like Nintendo has an A-Tier game to release every month. They can afford to give Metroid the spotlight for a month. But I don't think the idea of putting it out next to Mario Kart at launch is crazy either. The hardcore fans will buy it whenever it comes out, but it might catch more people's attention as the back-up launch title.

[@Greekanese31]

It's only B-Tier if you look only at sales. Metroid is an A-Tier franchise in terms of quality, and every major entry has massive ramifications on game design trends. It's your favorite developers favorite game franchise, truly the MF Doom of video games.

Being reminded that the S2 wont have an OLED screen just killed any excitement i had.

[@JerryFlowersIII]

I just feel like they're doing it to make people buy multiple Switches in a really unnecessary way. I would spend $500 now for a OLED model to avoid spending another $400 later on OLED model 4 years from now.

[@sams-pg7hj]

does it really matter on such a small screen? plus, youre in the very small minority of those players where that actually matters. very few people will care about OLED or even be able to tell the difference.

@@sams-pg7hjoled makes a big difference for handheld play. I love my oled and I'm disappointed it'll be years before we get the switch 2 version

[@arckinenso7615]

I don't believe that is their strategy. This is primarily a family console. They need it to be cheap enough that parents will buy one (or multiple) for young kids. They don't care if some adults would spend extra for premium features at launch.

[@sams-pg7hj]

@ I cant even tell much, if any difference between 720 up to 4k on a laptop, and in my opinion many OLED and high refresh rate screens looks so bright and weird and not good as high def.

[@sluggdiddyyddidgguls]

I dont think third parties will have much success on the switch with ports of games that are on other consoles. People have the other consoles and will undoubtedly get better performance from those other consoles than switch. I also think at this point people don't get nintendo consoles for IP outside of nintendo, and because of that I think that they will have a weak launch/first year because they aren't going to have the big nintendo IP games ready or enough of them. I also think that because the steam deck will be about the same cost (most likely) as the switch, people who want those third party games will go there for their portable experiences.. That is all to say, I don't think it will be nearly as successful as the switch and I think people are just getting caught up in the hype train.
