SWITCH 2 GAME HYPE 2025 PREDICTIONS - Happy Console Gamer

[@Cynnergames]

Sundays aren’t sundays without a Happy Console Gamer video!

[@FizzWizard]

An upgrade is all we needed for the switch 2 as the original design is so brilliant.

[@leonidasvonsparta]

I totally agree, the switch is my favorite system of all time. The concept is in my opinion peak! So the right thing to do was to build on it and improve

[@FizzWizard]

@@leonidasvonsparta it’s also a fantastic system if you are a collector. The library is massive and covers Everything. Modern, retro and indie.

[@cwmeyer2196]

​@@leonidasvonspartaI prefer the 3ds over the Switch

[@cappy2282]

It going to be impossible for Nintendo to get away from switch. I can see a Switch 3...Switch 4 situation. I only play handheld so I'm all for it 👍

[@beebindy]

I agree. This is all I wanted. The mouse functionality is a bonus. We'll see how Nintendo utilizes it.

[@butterworthboys4985]

I'm waiting to see whatever Monolith Soft is cooking. I think they're going to blow everyone away with their new game reveal in that April Direct

[@thevideogamebrothers3006]

Say what you want about the lack of innovation, but I am super relieved that their new system doesn't have some crazy gimmick that requires you to jump up and down to control your character.

[@SWOTHDRA]

Or glasses

[@oxsila]

Sure, but this couldve finally been their chance to make a fully fledged next gen nintendo console, but instead its being held back by party game design and people who want to play games on the go. I want to live to see nintendo genuinely blow us away with each new 1st party. Not constantly lag behind having people compare the latest console to something as old as the ps4 pro 😢 Theyre doing the smart thing tho i get it. Playing it safe.

[@ItApproaches]

You're an uncreative person who is anti creativity, just admit that.

[@liamcurran5612]

Rumors of a mouse like functionality with the controller on its side

[@aspreitzer54]

Almost my biggest desire with the Switch 2 is that its backward compatibility will be more than just the ability to play Switch 1 games. It would be nice to be able to perform better with Switch 1 games and maybe bring a higher resolution.

[@SWOTHDRA]

Higher resolution and framerate is a must

[@BigD-t1u]

But will your 100 dollar pro controller be compatible with it? All the third party controllers people bought because they hate the joy cons will not work on the switch 2 because the controllers don’t slide on anymore. This is just a big money grab by Nintendo

[@EduFirenze]

Don't care about resolution, gimme a stable 60 on old games and I'm sold

[@justincolgan1833]

Im desperate for the digital foundry analysis for "performance boost" with backwards compatibility. Put off doing XB3 DLC and Totk because my eyes just can't take the low frame count.

[@ItApproaches]

Improving resolution doesn't change the gameplay experience. Most games that have very low replayability, I don' care if you buff up the resolution, I'm not playing the game again, it's the same exact experience.

[@jimcarrey2866]

That was the most casual analysis yet the most realistic I've seen so far. A lot of Nintendo youtubers are so full of hopium you can't take it seriously

[@stephenveerasammy3074]

Because they suck up to Nintendo like they are the boys

[@slash5235]

I used to watch quite a few of them, and then suddenly, I couldn't take them seriously. I'm not sure what happened they all started to change when they get desperate for free products from Nintendo or the hopium.

[@stephenveerasammy3074]

@slash5235 true dude. So sad. Wanna be influencers can just be the worst

[@ScottyMo]

Love the little outtake at the end! I just watched the "What You Should Never Say in a Game Store" video. Is Russell the only guest to ever have pointed at the outro?

[@Sebsuniverse]

Should Russell be a recurring guest? ABSOLUTELY! Great job fellas.

[@badboy-gn8fu]

[@HappyConsoleGamer]

That would be crazy!

[@badboy-gn8fu]

konami is sucking these days so i doubt it

[@edelkebap]

Excited? This is the first time I am ultra-hyped for a console since the PS3/ 360 era. The perfect concept with an upgrade? Yes, please. BRING IT ON NINTENDO!

[@AkiraYuki5150]

New Wario platformer is a wonderful idea indeed! 20:03

[@Mclearmountain]

These are the types of videos we need leading up to the Switch 2! 👍

[@cacophonic7]

How about an “open universe” StarFox game where you can fly around and explore similar to No Man’s Sky?

[@MerryLozza]

Like Starfox Adventures 👍🏻

[@odizm5196]

I mean kind of like a GTA type of Star fox ?

[@badassmotha2k]

Did you play Starlink? I’ve had some fun with it.

[@mdog86]

One thing not mentioned is the pro controller. I would really love to see a new and improved pro controller with a headphone jack on it. And this probably won't happen but adaptive triggers like on the dualsense would be amazing.

[@tonylavagnaart3865]

Personally, I'd like to see a new Punch-out game

[@dmace81]

Heck I'd be happy with punchout remastered port. Also Rhythm heaven with all the content from those game would be nice.

[@tonylavagnaart3865]

@dmace81 I'd also be happy with a remaster of Punch out Wii, however, I just feel they can do so much to advance the series, it would be nice to shake things up a bit. I thought of this idea where your corner can throw power ups into the ring and you can press L or R to quickly rotate around teg ring to collect the power. Just little things like that I feel would change things

[@grahfkarate1799]

Monolith soft has been cooking on a new IP for a long time now. Remember seeing art for it

[@obba40]

[@zach5381]

Russell is a cool dude. Seems like he's a good chill personality to go with Jon.

[@molaman14]

My backlog of switch 1 games is so big, it could be another 8 years before I get a Switch 2 and I'll still have a backlog list of switch 1 stuff 😄

[@badboy-gn8fu]

same bro. my switch backlog alone will keep me busy for a lifetime.

[@user-kr5vm8nk1d]

100% this.

[@devinreed21]

I'm super excited for the Switch 2! I really just wanted a more powerful Switch and it looks like that is what we're getting. My favorite franchise of all time is Fire Emblem, so I'm hoping for a new one as a launch title.

[@BigD-t1u]

Are you super excited to spend over 500 bucks on it? Cause no Nintendo console is worth that much.

[@devinreed21]

@@BigD-t1u I heard it will be around 400 bucks. I hope it is.

[@BigD-t1u]

@@devinreed21 the switch oled starts at 350 dollars so this is obviously going to cost more. Rumors are 399-499. No Nintendo console is worth as much as a ps5. Even if it’s 399 after taxes you’re looking at 434 dollars if it’s 499 you’re looking at 543 dollars and I don’t see anyone paying that kind of money to play Mario and Zelda especially when they can play those games just fine on the switch they already have.

[@57tigey]

Guy the mouse functionality is clearly for playing games like baldurs gate 3 or civ 7 with a mouse and you can connect a usb or bluetooth keyboard.

[@SWOTHDRA]

Lol, I dont think so but, damn Imagine fallout 2 or BG2 (I dont like 3).

[@cacophonic7]

Having the Switch 2 leaked a week early did nothing to diminish my excitement for it. I’m fine with there being no big new gimmick this time. No one complains when PlayStations, Xboxes and your iPhones are basically just power upgrades from the previous versions. The main selling point to me is always the games, and let’s face it, Nintendo is going to release something that I have to check out.

[@staceytheresatammytinataco5488]

Thanks!

[@femtrooper]

It’s the 40th anniversary of Super Mario so I would hope a Mario game launches with it! Seems like a missed opportunity if they don’t! I know I would love it!

[@eliedlin9579]

Switch 2 is all i wanted it to be. A more powerful backwards compatible switch. I dont want another wii or wii u with gimmicks that just suck. The switch is a perfectly fine form factor

[@ircha]

Yay!! 😁 Enjoying listening to you two!

[@JM-pm1yb]

This is the first time in a while where I’m not really hyped at all yet. I’ve already experienced playing some amazing experiences on my handheld PC’s. Yes, of course I’m always looking forward to what Nintendo will be coming out with(Mario, Zelda, Kart, etc.). I’m going to get it for sure. But the Switch hasn’t been my favorite console since its third year. I’m curious to see how this console is going to excite people like me who already game on Steam Deck, ROG Ally, or Legion Go. What are they going to do to entice us to purchase games on it, rather than PC

[@EduFirenze]

Agree. I've been saying this for a while, now Nintendo has competition, there's more powerful systems out there with way better ergonomics.

[@mtmike8737]

My prediction is that the Switch 2 will have some kind of pack-in software that utilizes the new Joy-Con Features. Also, Metroid Prime 4 will release on the original Nintendo Switch and get a separate, enhanced version on the Switch 2. At launch, Nintendo will focus on three first party games: Mario Kart X, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and my wild prediction is a brand new SimCity called... Switch City to take advantage of the mouse controls.

[@keyboard_g]

Launching with MarioKart gives me hope for a mid-cycle F-Zero to refresh the Nintendo racing fans.

[@NocturnalToothbrush]

An upgrade is perfect! Im buying it day one.

[@Anitaplaying]

Thank you Russel ! 👏

[@PressStartBC]

Anytime :D

[@cook1tj]

The Switch 2 is exactly what I wanted it to be. I was really crossing my fingers Nintendo didn't decide to try some "wacky new feature" as a gimmick for a new system. All I wanted was "A better Switch" and it's what I got.

[@lightingboltzero8575]

It's basically the same as Switch. Graphics all look the same except a better resolution

[@nickwick35]

I love that the Switch 2 is the exact same. I don't need to be doing handstands to play Mario Kart.

[@1DangerMouse1]

Awesome episode idea!

[@taylora8845]

Interesting that the Switch 2 kept things so similar. It's not the first time though, as Gameboy Advance, & Wii U also didn't tread far off the beaten path from what came before.

[@logancross09]

Finally someone else who looks at it this way. It's half handheld. When I saw the switch 2 it just reminded me of going from DS to 3DS then to new 3DS. They aren't fixing something that isn't broken :) I like your comment

[@SWOTHDRA]

Dont forget the 3ds

[@EduFirenze]

The wii u was the first concept of uniting everything they had, it played ds games and wii games. It was an all in one system and after I modded mine, it's an amazing Nintendo retro machine.

[@kytim89]

They made too much money on the first Switch to turn away from that design too much with the newer console.

[@jonathanjones4566]

I predict a new Animal Crossing game on release. Nothing new has come out for New Horizons in a long time and it's one of the systems most popular titles.

[@Chaoitcme]

Yeah, I love Press Start. I try to pop into Press Start every time I visit Netherworld Collectables.

[@bluebomber301]

If it's an OLED model at launch I will buy. If not, I'll wait. I play a lot in handheld and don't want to go back.

[@ivenstorm]

My hope is that they announce Captain Toad 2, Mario Odyssey 2, Terranigma Remastered, and Megaman X9; but I'll be happy with another Captain Toad. Also, I predict Mario Maker 3D, which will utilize the mouse in a 3d building environment.

[@HollowRick]

Capcom hates Mega Man unfortunately.

[@justinviel5255]

Myself I'm going to wait I want to know more about it first and let the game library build up too. I've been in the wait mode the last couple generations of consoles because for one money always goes to other things first and two the innovation leaps as mentioned in the video from one console to the next aren't as great anymore as they used to be say from an Atari or Intellivision to the original NES, Super Nintendo to the N64, PS2, OG Xbox. I remember being super excited in high school buying the PS2 (the first system I bought with my own money) being so impressed with it and thinking it would never get better. I was wrong things have gotten super impressive but, it took me a long time to move on from the PS3/Xbox 360 era to a PS4 because I was still enjoying those machines. I didn't get a PS4 until the Fall when they were bundling The Last of Us Remastered, God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn with it. It was finally time then and I have loved the system since. And with the companies still doing cross-gen games all this time for a lot of games I still get to enjoy a good majority of the games I am interested in. I only have had the desire to get a PS5 this past year so, I could play games like Silent Hill 2, Dead Space Remake, Dead Rising, Baldur's Gate 3 and Dragon's Dogma 2. I feel I am not buying the consoles anymore because of the advancements from the previous generation and being impressed with it. I am buying to play games I can't on generation I have. There's been talk of PS6 recently but, I'm not sure if I see the need. What can they do technology wise to impress us to make us want to buy these newer consoles as time goes on to see that the new one is really that much better than the last one. Showing off these consoles power is a combo of the machine and the consumers televisions and the televisions look great but, when 8K TVs come around are they really going to look so much better than 4K that I will run to the store for one? Probably not.

[@OlaAremu]

That mario wonder music is so energetic that i find myself bouncing along w/o thinking!

[@avngsv]

I'm excited for the mouse aspect. It could be used to create levels in Mario maker, air hockey, tower defense games...

[@badboy-gn8fu]

me too. it will allow nintendo or other devs to create video games that requires a mouse like FPS or tactics games like Fire Emblem.

[@humblemudgames]

I know there are so many moving pieces involved when it comes to a company revealing a new system, but imagine how baller of a move it would have been had Nintendo, hearing about the leaks, canceled their reveal altogether to discredit the leakers, only to come back a month or so later with a more in-depth showcase.

[@brighthallwayblues]

I was thinking something similar to this watching Johnny's video.. The reveal seems very underwhelming.. I feel there are more tricks up Nintendo's sleeve with this and there's something more to the system that will surprise us. I hope anyway! Tbf if it is what it appears to be.. just a standard switch but redesigned and upgraded that's totally cool too. The switch is awesome c: Let's see!

[@MerryLozza]

I’m booking time off work to get my switch 2! Super hyped

[@Eagleknight815]

Leaning towards wait n see right now pre direct. I am very interested in watching that direct. I think that will turn a lot more heads towards excitement if done correctly. Shout out to Russell for coming on and rocking the Mega Man X on the inner forearm!

[@PressStartBC]

Mega Man ftw!

[@ratiuvictor9533]

They need a big 3rd party game to show the power of the new console. I would love to see Marvel Rivals on switch 2 but maiby that's to much but a Path of Exile 2 will be huge next year and I think is doable. Imagine this lineup on release. Path of Exile 2, Hades 2, Baldurs Gate 3, GTA 5 ( I know that's a little ambitions but GTA 5 works and looks great on Xbox 360 it should work at least as good on a Switch 2). Also to show the new mouse future a big multiplayer shooter like a COD or a HALO. As for nostalgia I would love to see Mass Effect Trilogy. Such amazing games that a lot of Nintendo fandom didn't had the chance to try and again if those games work great on Xbox 360 they should work fine on the new switch. It would be also great if the big phone games are on it on release like Genshin, Honkai , Pokemon Pocket( Honestly I don't know why its not on the current switch since you can link your Nintendo account), LoL Wild Rift, MLBB, TFT, MOBA, Roblox. All those games work on 100$ phones so they should work on the new switch

[@apopalypse5977]

I think that Mario Kart is too much of a casual and party game. It’s not THE game to make people go out and buy the Switch 2 on launch. Without a bigger first party title, I think a lot of people will have Rob’s mentality that you talk about at the end and wait to buy it. With the Switch 1, it was so new and unique that people wanted to get their hands on the hardware from the get-go. For Switch 2, Nintendo will need a game that people say “I need to get the Switch 2 to play that game.” I think Russell made a great prediction with a Kirby game. If I remember correctly, Sakurai teased that he is working on a game, not necessarily a smash bros game. I could totally see it being a new Kirby game that utilizes aspects of Switch 2.

[@OriginalMasters]

If you’ve been on the Nintendo ranch for a long time, guessing about games has become like an old farmer betting on a frog race. “Yep, that dark green boy will cross the finish line first. Yeppppp.”

[@sirownzalotgaming3025]

Okay. Now I want a wario odyssey and he had an evil cappy

[@SirFragalot]

Assuming I can snag a preorder, I'll have mine day one no question because I bought a DS, 3DS, New 3DS XL, Wii, WiiU and Switch Day One. However I do think Metroid Prime 4 will be a launch title but similar to how Breath of the Wild was, where it launched on two systems. The Switch 2 version will probably get better visuals and 60 FPS vs 30 on Switch 1. They will launch that because Nintendo always releases a singleplayer title at it's launch alongside Mario Kart 9. However, I think Nintendo might do something different and instead of a gimmick 1-2 switch game, they might just do a new WarioWare to showcase the new controls and since it's WarioWare, more people might buy it.

[@herohunter81]

Remember when we couldn’t believe that, the games were running on an actual handheld when the switch came out

[@mrpsthoughtsonthings]

My mom got that came from the discard section of the library for me and my brother back when I was in kindergarten back in 91 or so. One of my favorite games of all time. I would love to see it and Zoda's Revenge remade in the same vein as Actraiser with 3d assets but keeping the perspective and mechanics.

[@thespeedyyoshi]

I’m shocked I didn’t hear a peep about star fox or a switch sports 2 type game. I think those have a huge chance of coming to switch 2, especially with the whole mouse thing that could introduce brand new ways to play (air hockey anyone?)

[@soliddrake11]

I’m not really excited because of scalpers.. I bought the switch at midnight on release night and the whole scalping situation with the ps5 and Xbox really just made me not excited for new console releases.

Wait, what? Wario Land Shake it wasn't very good? That game is masterclass(as is WL1 on the Super Game Boy) 2D platforming at it's best when aiming for 100% completion. And the tilt based motion controls that were integrated into lets say the UFO, Boxing glove Wheelie-mobile and so on were just brilliant. An easy 10/10. Klonoa was another wonderful platformer with an incredible surreal dream-like soundtrack that a lot of people missed out on unfortunately. Wario Land Shake it!, Klonoa & Mega Man 9 were the tubular trio of grade A platforming on Wii for me. :P

Doesn't feel at all like that and if it did could be said of any console. Playstation has had the same name with a number for 30 years and people seem capable of understanding it

Thats why there is a big 2. Its clearly something else.

[@Ray_2112]

Why feel bad for people who can't distinguish two different consoles, even if it's absolutely clear this time? The Wii U name confused some people because it was a weird name, but naming it Switch 2 now shouldn't confuse anyone.

The new game to show off the mouse should be a new Mario Paint!

[@Ray_2112]

Would be cool if it would be an included mode in the Switch 2 menu that you can always use.

I want to grab one day one… two things: probably impossible lol, and I’d like to wait to see if ‘fun’ colours come out. Never a fan of ‘serious grey’. ;)

[@DrRESHES]

I like that the Switch 2 is bigger, but I feel like if try to pop the joy-cons slightly at an angle, it'll damage those sensors coming out of the Switch 2. and also magnets lose their magnetism over time, if it's the joy-con those can be re-bought (ugh) but if it's in the Switch 2 then your new shiny switch 2 is pretty flawed. those are the types of thoughts I think when I see the Switch 2.

[@szymonkurek9978]

Amazing video! So nice to see we can still get hyped this way about a new console coming up, make predictions and all that. Nintendo just doesn't stop being exciting, no matter how old we get, so many possibilities to have fun predicting and look forward to...

[@jimjilliker2890]

I will be excited in 2 or 3 years. I have never gotten a console on launch. To have 300-500 dollars of expendable money at once hasn’t been achievable yet for me. I love catching up though. From receiving an NES in Christmas of 1993 to gifting the switch in 2020. I love every console in between and it hasn’t taken away from anything. Delayed gratification.

[@Stereo_Joe]

I am holding off getting one for quite a while after it comes out. I don’t know if me and my friends have been unlucky or not, but I do not find it do be a very durable console. From the fan problems to the joy cons. Diving into the Switch even today can be a very expensive option when you have to replace controllers and fix your system for problems. Then let’s think about how many people bought more than one Switch because of the durability and people not wanting the trouble of figuring out how to replace the battery when it degrades. Sure, the Switch has a chance the beat ps2 sales. But how long did it take? A lot about the Switch 1 doesn’t impress me, but some of it does. I will wait a couple years at least after the 2 comes out to see how those new joy cons hold up and how many systems need repaired.

Switch will be my 1st Nintendo console. I'm looking forward to checking out the back catalogue of switch 1. Seems to me Nintendo are the last genuine game company that has a personality & makes games out of passion as well as to make money. I've had every Xbox & that platform has lost it's individuality, they're only interested in numbers & it reflects in the quality of their games. now they're multiplatform I can play their games on Steam with better features such as modding. the Xbox console is now surplus to requirements, it also looks like playstation is following in their footsteps. Sadly it will be Steam & Nintendo as the 2 big platform holders.

They milk the same franchises decade after decade. Sorry but have to hit this hyper-glaze with a little bit of reality. Nintendo havent been their industry defining self since 2017. Ever since then theyve been in playing it safe mode and the switch 2 just confirms that.
