OUR BEST CASE SENARIO! Switch 2 Possible Predictions

[@heyitsalien_]

random video in my feed, good quality for a smaller channel. good job

[@CaptainSNES]

Thank you! Giving this thing another shot and video quality really matters, do think I need to work on the thumbnails tho

[@SirFluffypantsIII]

@@heyitsalien_ i agree, for some reason youtube made it so every 3rd video on the side had like 0-500 views

[@ArcadeEXP]

Hope the switch's successor is powerful enough to allow ports of some of the games i've been looking forward to play (metaphor, eldin ring, p3 reload) but other than that, giving us a system with inbuilt controllers and an extra pro controller for docked play is something i'm really looking forward to now. Great video man!

[@CaptainSNES]

Thank you! Ihave no doubt it would be capable of getting those ports

[@g-go2321]

NINTENDO!!!!! BRING BACK DUEL SCREENS AND STREETPASSSSS AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🗣🗣🔥🗣This was an awesome video though and I think this is a highly realistic expectation. They're probably gonna play it pretty safe. however I don't see what kind of gimmick they can do. Every "sequel" console we've had has had a gimmick that shows its different from the original, think DS to 3DS or Wii to WiiU.

[@CaptainSNES]

I’m just stumped what they could do but I would not argue about having dual screens but I just don’t see it

[@lordofthegemapple1632]

Yeah, please bring back streetpass and then I will be happy!

[@gamepro94z]

4k upscaling 2k native docked, 1080 hand held, PS4-Pro, Mario Kart 9, Mario Odyssey 2, Zelda TOTK enhanced.

[@CaptainSNES]

Sounds very likely to me

[@Streetrat23]

@@CaptainSNESnaw BOTW enhanced

[@Streetrat23]

I’d imagine a BOTW+TOTK port or maybe Wind Waker+Twilight princess HD port or possibly a 3DS remaster with OOTHD and MMHD with the other 2 call it the legend of Zelda Legend of time collection

[@RohanSlazar]

Some corrections based on the current rumors It has an 8 inch 1080p screen, making substancially bigger than the Switch 1 It uses new joycons that attached to the tablet via "magnetic suction" instead of with rails The RAM is 12gb LPDDR5X at 7500Mhz

[@CaptainSNES]

That ram increase alone would be insane

[@CaptainSNES]

Do we have any current examples of magnetic suction being used on a consumer product in a similar way? Maybe MagSafe?

[@MacBack123]

CaptainSNES Yeah, MagSafe would be a good example. They've been using it since 2008 or so i think, discontinued it in 2016 for USB-C, and re-continued it in 2021 or so.

[@RJH755]

Also 256GB of Samsung UFS 3.1 storage, and the Tegra 239 should be around on par with a base PS4 in handheld mode and a Xbox Series S in docked mode

[@SeraSer4phic]

Joycon compatible but not included makes sense with how they released the Joycon charger so late in the Switch's lifespan.

[@CaptainSNES]

im not 100% sold on that theory as its really odd the charging stand has the usb-c port on the top of the charger instead of the back, looks like a reused design from the joy con charging grip

[@1Takomari1]

My biggest hope is that the Switch and its variants we’ve had to this point will be looked back as the DS/DSi iteration of the console’s life, and that the Switch 2 will be considered the 3DS iteration. Nintendo has had years to look forward to the Switch successor, and much like how they constantly improved the DS family of systems, the Switch 2 will have cemented the concept of a hybrid console and Nintendo will take the opportunity to really just have fun and experiment with the software and addons, just like how the 3DS is still the pinnacle of handheld gaming long after its death.

[@CaptainSNES]

I would love to see some experimentation, I want to see Nintendo be Nintendo again, I still enjoy the games they put out but everything just feels off from the charm we used to have

[@1Takomari1]

@@CaptainSNES ong the 3DS badges were peak Nintendo, had no use, took up icon space, and were tied to a random game. Just existed for the fun of it.

[@radiognomeinvisible]

I wonder if we'll see a sort of pseudo 3d technology on the switch 2. Instead of stereoscopic 3d, which definitely won't happen again, they could use motion controls and eye tracking for parallax 3d. I've seen a lot of great tests of this tech but I haven't seen it really used anywhere. (it would only be in handheld mode obviously, and they wouldn't make it the main gimmick. But it would be an interesting feature that could make top down games like zelda feel like miniature dioramas)

[@CaptainSNES]

Are you talking about the same type of 3d the 3ds had? Otherwise I’m not aware of parallax 3d

[@radiognomeinvisible]

@@CaptainSNES Nope! Try looking up "parallax gyro 3d test," and you should see some examples, it's a really cool effect on 2d screens. It's definitely a good alternative to stereoscopic 3D, I don't know why it's rarely used anywhere

[@radiognomeinvisible]

@@CaptainSNES I believe iphones had that feature at one point, where you could tilt the phone and see the icons and wallpaper move in 3D

[@CaptainSNES]

@radiognomeinvisible I know exactly what your talking about, that would be cool in a top down Zelda

[@juzzies5412]

really good vid man!

[@CaptainSNES]

Thank you so much!

[@Danny_V272]

As long as the sticks don’t drift I’ll be happy

[@CaptainSNES]

I don’t think there’s anyway we will see that problem to the same caliber again

[@pukachuu9199]

Will there be switch lite 2? I am hoping for a better screen on it

[@CaptainSNES]

My hope is that the og switch 2 will be akin to the lite

[@RSD-tp1zj]

i just want 60 fps on Pokémon games, for the switch 2 to be strong enough that game freak has no other choice but to make a polished game

[@CaptainSNES]

I don’t think anyone would mind a 30fps game cause it’s not a quick game reliant on reflexes but for the love of god make it stable no matter what, and I want blame the switch on this it’s all in game freaks hands as they were slipping in the 3ds generation and these new games are NOT bug free on emulators, game freak needs to pick up the slack but I doubt we’ll see it

[@Thecreashhacks]

Im pretty sure that the wii classic controller has analog, or at least something from the wii era.

[@CaptainSNES]

Not that I recall beyond plugging in a GameCube controller

[@kolbyking2315]

Based on the Switch 2's gpu specs I estimate it'll be ~4.3x more powerful than the Switch. That's ~30% stronger than the Steamdeck and ~60% stronger than the Xbox One, but ~2.4x weaker than the Xbox One X. It's basically a cut down RTX 2050 MaxQ / MX 570. 1536 Cuda cores using ~10W.

[@CaptainSNES]

What are we basing those specs on? A new nvidia soc?

[@kolbyking2315]

@@CaptainSNES T239 specs. It's Ampere (3000s). One source says it has 1536 Cuda cores (Ampere RTX 2050 MaxQ has 2048). Another source has says it gets 2.5 - 4 Tflops in FP32 when docked (2050 MaxQ get 4.7 Tflops). It would probably have a similar power usage (TDP) to the current switch, which is 10W - 15W (2050 MaxQ is 30W). The Ampere RTX 2050 MaxQ is 1.44x weaker than the Xbox One X gpu (~RX 580). At best, the Switch 2 is 1.7x weaker than the XB1X. At worst, it's 2.7x weaker. It's probably halfway between a PS4 and a PS4 Pro in terms of performance when docked.

[@CaptainSNES]

@kolbyking2315 so in terms of a straight comparison our strongest contender is the ps4 pro just a bit weaker in the gpu department, that sounds fine to me. What do you think about the storage solution?

[@kolbyking2315]

@@CaptainSNES I'm seeing "256 GB UFS 3.1", like used in the Pixel 6 or Samsung Galaxy S22. Most phones are 128GB+, so anything below that would be weird. 94% of 2024 android phones have a 128 GB option. 100% of the 2024 phones with modern features (WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5, Android 14) start with 128 GB.

[@CaptainSNES]

@kolbyking2315 I don’t think it will be higher than 128 but what would we use to expand storage?

[@JT_Toons]

Open world mario, ocarina of time remake, kirby, and animal crossing

[@nullifyyourlife8135]

I have a switch and really haven't used it much, though it feels like that console just dropped in my mind, time flies. I just got a 3DS for modding and getting back into nintendo games that way. Hopefully by the time I get through the pile of games I have yet to play on that, the switch modding community will reach a similar level. Definitely won't be buying the new switch tho lol.

[@CaptainSNES]

I really hope we get to a day where switch modding doesn’t require a chip, I’ve been thinking about that a lot recently

[@iFastee]

i mean, i liked the video but your points ignore the fact that we actually already seen multiple confirmed leaks... it's not like there's a lot to formulate

[@CaptainSNES]

You’re right, I more so wanted to put out my own best case scenario for what I wanted to see, I stopped watching a majority of rumor videos because most had very minute details and it was all speculation so I’m not really up to date, last I knew it was running some matrix game real well

[@TheresSomeoneAtTheFrontDoor]

why does it think this video is based on 1-2-switch what

[@purplediney5054]

It will not lose ir camera because then the switch too wont be able to play all switch one games.

[@CaptainSNES]

2 things, the switch lite doesn’t have an ir camera either but still can play those games because 2. If it still works with joycons then there will be an ir camera to use

Tbh I want the switch to just be the predecessor of the 3DS and Nintendo to start making dedicated home consoles again. Basically just have two separate lines of systems again.

[@CaptainSNES]

As much as a dedicated handheld would be awesome I just don’t see it

[@undercawa1109]

Let’s start with one thing: there will never be a switch 2. It’s going to be something like Nintendo Triangle. And I’m pretty sure it will not be compatible with Switch games, just like Switch has no support for WiiU or 3DS games. Edit: Why do people assume it’s going to be portable?

[@Miku_Worms]

because the portable switch system has been incredibly successful for nintendo, they would be stupid not to improve upon it

[@CaptainSNES]

Portables have always been very successful for Nintendo, I couldn’t see a world with them not in that space

[@CaptainSNES]

The switch is also very simple when it comes to how games are designed around it so I could see it being backwards compatible as a lot of there systems have been
