Nintendo Switch 2 Hidden Features From The Trailer...

[@Tomtycoon]

I can see it, the switch in the middle on a table, and 2 people on both sides with a joycon in their hand playing air hockey in mouse mode.

[@Fluffy-v9p]

That would be a great use for it- especially with the HD rumble.

[@AlvroNX]

Neat idea! Also, Pikmin and other RTS games, and shooters for aiming while you run and strafe with the other joycon (I know this setup is also on pc with specific controllers - but it's nice to have the option here).

[@giovanni2910]

I'm down for this, that would be cool

[@audie-cashstack-uk4881]

Dual mouse is a thing on pc

[@stefanspelt3578]

Why did we buy Wii play again?

[@Bob_Bobstien]

The "holding the Switch 2 by one joycon and the rest of the system comes crashing to the floor" art reminds me of the "holding the Switch by both joycons and the system slides out from between them, creating to the floor" art from before the Switch came out, and hopefully will be just as much of a non-concern on the real thing

[@VivioSaf]

They also remind me of the Wii's instruction manuals.

[@Jasmaf]

[@JimmyCall]

You have to put the controller in from the bottom first, where it slots into a cut-out. Then you push in like scissor blades and it locks in at top. it's the scissor action that may stress the connector strips.

[@JesseRitchey]

Something that wasn’t mentioned here is the notch on the bottom of the joycons on the colored area. They always show the joycons entering the Switch at angle, bottom first. It is likely that there is a nub or hook that grabs that notch, which also helps hold the joycons in place.

[@Crono_Triggered]

Dude, good eye. I didn't see it until you said something but I think you're probably correct. Nice call-out!

[@Crostil]

You can actually see a square shaped recess on the bottom of the orange joycon at 10:28

[@lordrikudouzero9119]

Nice, also maybe explains why they had it at that angle at the end👌🏾

[@TVTim86]

This is also how the bumber wrist strap things will connect to the joycons using a latch which is released by that button on the top of the bumper

[@Crostil]

I looked at the reveal trailer again, both the top and the bottom of the colored portion of the joycons have a square shaped recesses!

[@Evarakeus]

If you're walking around holding your several hundred dollar console by one of its detachable grips, you deserve what happens if it falls lmao. That said, I'm sure this is something Nintendo tested for because it's the first thing we all thought of, so it was probably the first thing they thought of too

[@senatormarrero]

I'm surprised people haven't mentioned that Nintendo also left the TV button blank for the initial Wii U reveal.

[@Thorin440]

The Joycon pin connector looks to be slightly offset, away from the Nintendo logo. This would ensure a poka-yoke ("mistake proof") style of connection, making it impossible to insert incorrectly. Additionally, if I were personally engineering these things to be magnetically coupled, I would orient the magnetic poles to align only when the controllers are the right way round. Pure speculation but I would not be surprised if Nintendo have thought of this too.

[@LocksLifeLove]

THIS

[@Basilisk_Eternal]

well duh the controllers would be upside down if they where inserted wrong

[@VonMakyr]

@@Basilisk_Eternal The point is designing it to be fool proof, children will get their hands on this system.

[@VampiricHoshi]

Glad you mentioned about the side bezels being that size likely because of the way the joycon go into the sides, because I was thinking exactly the same and yet everyone else seem to be making a big thing over it

[@rayr86]

I hope they release a commercial thats like "Forget playstation, Switch 2 Nintendo"

[@joogled1839]

i have a feeling people were already planning on doing that given the state of playstation...

[@jongentile4933]

It's crazy how many people are scared of breaking this, like how were you raised that this is a legit concern. Also whoever holds their joy-con normally by one side like that is a menace. The amount of stress on that little rail is crazy.

[@micdap7533]

There’s absolutely gonna be accessories specifically for mouse mode. Maybe to make the joy con a little bigger or just more ergonomic in general

[@aaronjames7266]

[@ru2225]

[@kevintrjohnson]

If not, I imagine people will make 3D printed housings.

[@disgustedluigi]

The cool thing with modern magnets, is they’ve gotten way better with creating specific patterns to create the magnetic field with a specific purpose in mind. I can imagine it’ll be very difficult to pull straight out but very easy when pressing that button.

[@SpanishVanguardia]

Wonder if the magnets are intentionally charged with opposite polarities as an extra layer to keep people from inserting the wrong joycon.

[@manuelalbertoromero9528]

It's possible. Would make it difficult for kids to insert them in the wrong place.

[@Mclearmountain]

GREAT video. Best breakdown + explanation I’ve seen.

[@joshbimthedoctor]

I don't expect the joycons connection to break any easier than last gen. If you break it you're really doing something wrong

[@teneesh3376]

We'll see when it comes out. I mean it won't be the first time Nintendo messed up something that can be so easily fixed. Remember how the dock can scratch or break the screen? Or how they can easily fix it by adding a tiny bit of foam on the inside?

[@scruffyraisin]

My thoughts exactly. Also when I pay over 50€ for something, I'm treating that thing like it's the most valuable and fragile thing in the universe anyway. 😂

[@Dorgpoop]

The thing is it's supposed to be used as a handheld device for kids, so it's inevitable that they're going to drop it with their clumsy hands.

[@bernbern309]

Yeah like switch 1 rails could easily be snapped but you’d actually have to try to do it.

[@abysJaq]

Agreed but kids are not as carefull or conscious of these things

[@TheJadeFist]

It's the CLACK Button, it lets you hear the CLACK noise every time you press it.

[@wiremesh2]

Seems to me the way the joycons fit into the system, you couldn't actually break the connectors unless you put ridiculous force on them. And in that case, you'd be breaking a lot more than just the connector.

[@wiremesh2]

Also, on top of this. I have a work Macbook with a mag-safe power connector. That tiny plug, if you pull on it linearly, can support the majority of the laptop's weight. I don't think this connection will be a problem.

[@jamesdordoy4246]

imagine being able to play Metroid 4 or the next Splatoon with a half mouse and controller set up. Could be awesome.

[@14supersonic]

First thing I thought of too, and I'm sure the switch 2 will get more 3rd party shooter support this time around. Would be interesting using this in a COD or something.

[@jamesdordoy4246]

@@14supersonic yeah 100% Now ive had time to think, this should allow for any game from pc or any system to be ported to switch 2. Wii , ds etc. Literally genious

[@RPGreg2600]

There's also a little notch in the bottom of the joycons that will engage a catch in the sides of the switch. That's why the joycons go in at an angle in all the animations.

[@Aussielinesman]

100% agree. The bottom of the console will have a protrusion for that notch to sit over. Which is why they show it going top out first. The top of the wrist strap/mouse grip will have a little nub that retracts when you push that button on the grip.

[@monchopr3511]

The most complete NS2 analysis I have seen to the moment of this comment. Sapwnwave never disappoints.

[@PCEngineLives]

[@rayr86]

How come nobody ever mentions that the "mouse" configuration sequence literally look like two actual mice? The wrist straps move like mouse tails and the shoulder buttons look like an ear and face. (For those saying it was mentioned, I mean like they look like the actual animal, not the computer peripheral. As in Nintendo is flat out saying, hey look, these are mice..)

[@LWAllen]

Maximillian Dood did but he said like damn these are RATS!

[@sandplasma]

Exactly!!

[@JosephTheRocker]

Spawnwave and Beatemups noticed it

[@Heazie]

I only ever see people mention it does. Where have you been?

[@vicolin86]

Yeah I bet there will be some games where you can use two mice simultaneously. Like to "handle" stuff. Say a cooking game or a surgery game or whatnot.

[@OldMan_PJ]

None of the case manufacturers have cutouts for an IR sensor currently.

[@slinky826]

I don't believe either of the Joy-cons on the Switch 2 will have IR sensors. I'm guessing they were removed for cost and they simply weren't used. This is most likely the reason for the warning about some games not working properly with backwards compatibility, much like the Switch Lite.

[@kmcsciguy]

The game card door notch is an improvement over whatever the heck they did with the OLED.

[@tonymcneill7779]

Tell me about it. There are times where the damn thing act like it's fused to the system. It won't budge. 😂

[@kmcsciguy]

@ seriously! I always use a lil plastic sd card case to help open it

[@austinkoeppen6122]

It looks more similar to New 3DS

[@littlefreak3000]

There is definitely a little tab at the bottom of the controller. So the magnets aren't doing all the heavy lifting.

[@traceries5201]

Of all the “analysis” videos since the announcement this is by far the most informative regarding hardware features. Not that I expect anything less but really great work.

[@matthewtate5876]

Things I’d love to see Nintendo incorporate is a much better community aspect. Being able to send message to your friends. Being able to send friend requests/messages to player recently played with (parental restrictions here obviously) Being able to customize the main hub. Have an achievement system. Staying in the Nintendo style maybe Stickers? Then having a sticker album that you can customize. Other players can browse these and see your in game achievements.

[@nottryingtobefamous9399]

We’ve been saying this for like 10 years but they refuse to listen

[@Craigy2818]

What's worrying me is that leaks are suggesting that ONLY NSO subscribers can use that - even just to share videos and use it like a social media thing, which would be awful. It's bad enough that every tiny part of everything is being monetised but when you buy an entire system, where that functionality is part of the price... Being made to pay more, to access most things on a console, is treating consumers like shit.

Great deep dive Jon!

[@NoonDragoon]

IMO the fact that the joy-con strap is hollow is the biggest indicator that the joy-cons have the rumored mouse functionality. There wouldn’t be a reason to make it hollow unless you were trying to design it so that the strap doesn’t block any sensors on the controller when in use.

[@The_Ostrich]

Nothing is a "rumor" in regards with the Swich 2 lol, cause everything that was leaked in the last 2 years has been spot on. We know literally everything: The specs, the clock speeds, the launch titles, the mouse function, the purpose of the C-button etc... And Nintendo is kinda right with being this secretive, cause its kinda boring knowing everything this far in advance. The only thing we haven't seen yet is the OS.

[@DennisBM]

probably hollow because of the big SL/SR buttons, if the straps would have buttons on it too then the SR/SL buttons on the joycon itself wouldn't be that much larger

[@artoriasoftheabyss1575]

The trailer had joycons gliding around like a mouse and the straps acting like tails. It couldnt get anymore obvious than that.

[@GarbyTheCat]

my soul iz hollow. (jk, i have no soul)

[@sandplasma]

Its not a rumor. The joycons literally looked like mic with tails on the trailer

[@justsomebody-1665]

You mentioned "whatever their pro controller version for this will be" If I can't use my current Pro controller on the Switch 2, I'll be pretty pissed off about it. Theres absolutely no reason it shouldnt work

[@christophrechtlehner]

That doesn't mean there won't be a new version of a pro controller, which is what he is saying.

[@AndrewO83]

Thanks Jon, it was like a faux TechWave in a way. Do you know, I started following you in 2016 during the NX days before the Switch even had it's name. I remember one video had you walking down a hallway in your house to test joycon range and response. Good times. This video gave me early days, SpawnWave nostalgia. I loved it, thank you :)

[@muffalogmartin6564]

My guess is that the joycon is held in place because as well as the two magnets, it is locked in at the bottom at the notch seen at 11:48 and sort of hinges out from that point. But we'll just have to wait and see in April!

[@Aussielinesman]

And the notch at the top of the joycon is where it holds into the wrist strap grips. The button on top the grip retracts a pin that fits into the top notch.

[@muffalogmartin6564]

@@Aussielinesman It would certainly make sense

[@Jabberwocky4k]

I also noticed in the reveal video last week that the joy-cons apparently don't connect straight on. They hinge at the bottom of the joy-con where a square indentation appears to be and snap in at the top. Oh, and does this also mean that this new system is compatible with all amiibos?

[@NolocoLawrence]

NICCCCCE! I was saying that they SHOULD put the logo there. I thought it would look good. Admittedly I would of liked it longer and bigger within reason of course. I must say slowly going over the Switch 2 here on Spawn Wave and also I think this being the first time I am not just viewing it on my phone. It is a very sleek lovely system. I still hold a grudge with the dock being soooo bland on both 1, and 2.

[@diogozaca1]

About how it connects to the joy-cons... there are little spaces on their bottom, see 16:55, and, by the way the connection is being represented, in an angle, there might be a fixed piece on the tablet to help keep the joy-cons in place

[@undercoverduck]

It would make sense for Nintendo to double down on the IR cameras. A lot of games that could've made good use of it (like Mario Party) likely didn't because only half of all joycon have an IR sensor. It could also come into play in a successor to Ring Fit. That game's titular ring relied on the IR sensor to not only register your heartbeat but also register compression on the ring. The ring itself is a piece of plastic. Adding another IR camera to the leg-strap could greatly enhance its sensitivity and open up the possibility for more types of exercise.

[@TheBlueBookGentleman]

If the joycons are magnetic, there’s nothing yo worry about. If someone tries to connect them wrong the magnets will push against each other

[@MacTX]

8:20 I wonder why they didn't use Pogo pins. Tablets use them for accessories connections like keyboards on the iPad and they're both fairly shallow/flush and durable. I also don't think most people's concerns are with duty cycle wear and tear, Nintendo probably took that into considering when designing the Joycon attachment mechanism and materials they picked for that connection pin. Damage will probably come from accidents, and curious little fingers. Both issues the Pogo pins excel at mitigating.

[@jacklawsen6390]

There are notches at the top and bottom of the colored portions of each joycon. I'd bet there's a fixed hook at the bottom and a mechanical latch at the top.

[@ChristopherToro]

Nintendo made so much money on the Switch, I wouldn’t be surprised if Switch 2 assembled like Ironman’s MK-42 suit.

[@Fanto_Sir]

It'd be great if the 16:25 console magnets connected to not only metal on the joycon buttons but those buttons are magnetic too so they only attract to the correct joycon making it impossible to put the wrong one one each side.

[@4AMO4]

14:47 Anyone else getting flashbacks of the mouse wheel bumper concept? Maybe the Pro controller will have it? But this shows, Nintendo has been thinking of a mouse functionality since the beginning.

[@stevenr224]

I would guess, the C Button is a small TrackPad as on the Legion Go S. This would make sense, if you want this function with the Controller attached or as Controller. The side Buttons could be an analog Button for the mouse function, used simular as a wheel. For Gamecube Games this could also work as an analog Trigger.

[@airiksknifereviews9548]

I have zero worries about the toughness of a nintendo product. They clearly have made the needed design changes . Even the Switch Oled was evidence of that already. No more wobbly joycons that wear out from sliding on and off. No more stick drift, it has Hall Effect analog sticks which was also leaked. The kickstand is even better than the Oleds ,much easier to open and gives it a fresh clean look. The powder coat paint matte finish is excellent, they did that with the DS lite and it felt amazing. I do not like flat joycons that's my only negative. Thumb cramping horrible shape ,ugh . I will have to get a satisfy grip . Also since it has hall effect sticks, it should be the only upgrade .

I don’t think the connection wil break easily but there are animals and they will. But at the same time if you see the trailer they always put the bottom first because there a cut out on the controller then it connects. 😂

[@eclips6513]

do we think there's some possibility of the R and L buttons being touch sensitive so you can run your fingers across it like a scroll-wheel? I know Sakurai has talked about pitching this idea to Nintendo for a long time, and if they're really using the joy-cons as mouse it would make sense to include that functionality.

[@TVTim86]

The wrist strap bumper things simply lock into the notches on the top and bottom of the colored rails with latches, the button on the top releases the latces. A simpler solution than switch 1 which shouldn't result in them getting stuck

16:52 it will be very sturdy: the technique of having a single long protrusion-and-slot being the base of a cantilevered "shelf" is common woodworking practice. These kinds of shelves can hold more weight than most other joinery, and to me it signals that Nintendo is returning to Kyoto quality.

[@QuaseGelo]

Awesome, really informative video!

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

I would definitely say I’m more excited about the switch 2 than I ever was about the original even the OLED.

[@CodenameDuchess1984]

the thing that I have yet to hear anyone mention with the "mouse functionality" portion is that I believe they included the wrist straps to anthropromorphize the joycons to look like actual mice. That is why I believed that portion confirmed it

I've seen some rumours that it will be a more pliable "rubberised" type of plastic as well as being able to move a bit in its mounting point in the chassis.

[@pickntrix]

I wonder if the coloured interior is going to be a plate of some sort you can swap put to match the joycon seeing as in the leaked picture it was plain black ? I guess if the magnets were strong enough it could be a thin metal plat that sticks on, would be a nightmare getting it off again though.

[@DominikGuzowski]

I dont think the Joycon connection is going to be an issue at all. its like USB-C connections with that thing sticking out, that shit doesnt break because the way the connection slides in doesnt allow for bending. and if it breaks then its most likely because you did something very wrong or gave it to a 3 year old, at which point you should expect things to break.

[@waltermh111]

It's true and there can be friction at the center connection. I can hold up my large phone by thy usb cable connected to it. That's how strong the connection is. And Nintendo has 2 magnets added to it. I don't see an issue

[@LandonEmma]

That thing will not break you can’t move the controller while it’s inside of there

[@ShallBePurified]

The only way I see it breaking is if someone took a screwdriver and stick it into the Switch 2 sideways while the joycons are not attached.

[@FabledFiend]

Might still be possible. Kids can break anything.

[@olive-robin]

You can't move the controller while its in there. But you could have one of the controller's edges press the edge of the connector. With 89 degrees being the obvious extreme. Looks like the connector has some amount of gap around it between the plastic. So it'l move a little before snapping.

The mouse functionality is what the PCs gamehelds needed. Nintendo is aiming to be the #1 as primary console as well.

[@silversonic1]

It's possible that they decided that both Joy-Con should be able to do everything the other one can do. People have long complained that they're paying the same amount for either Joy-Con when the one on the right is more feature-rich.

[@Koretex_]

I'm about to blow your mind. What if they DID implement the scroll wheel shoulder buttons, not a physical wheel but instead the shoulder buttons are touch sensitive and you can run your finger along them to scroll. Them being longer/around the whole corner of the joycon would also facilitate this functionality AND it would mean that the joycon in mouse mode would have a scroll wheel of sorts just like a computer mouse, this means that the scroll wheel controls in games on pc can carry over one to one. Also this functionality would obviously be available when the joycon are not in mouse mode as well for use in games in general i.e. menu navigation etc.

[@ReforgeGaming]

the nintendo switch 2 price is gonna be a focal point, but still sell like crazy i bet

[@rickkarrer8370]

BTW you can calculate magnetic strength vs weight, so they can very easily work out a magnetic system what won't accidentally fall off.

[@silversonic1]

There actually is a small gap in some shots where you can see the accent colors from the controllers. But they are incredibly narrow.

[@Stempy]

I like the idea that point and click games, RTS, and other games might have been more intuitive with a "mouse" and a pointer on screen.

Dual mouse gaming reminds me of the Commodore Amiga which supported multiplayer mouse gaming. Rampart and The Settlers could be played in splitscreen with both players having mouse control.
