What's Going On With The Nintendo Switch 2?

The Nintendo Switch 2 is one of the most anticipated consoles of all time. We could get games like Super Mario Odyssey 2, a New 3D Mario Game, Super Mario Galaxy 3, Super Maro Wonder 2, and Mario Kart 9. However, with all the talk that's going around, it feels like the only one not talking right now is Nintendo. So in today's video, we're going to be discussing what's going on with the Nintendo Switch 2, from what Nintendo has said, to leaks, to my own personal expectations. This is everything you need to know about the Nintendo Switch 2!

To me I don't care when it gets released as I may not pick it up right away since my original Switch is still in fair shape but just simply want upgraded graphics and backwards compatibility. I just want it to be shown already so I can see what to expect and compare it to the original.

[@StevenJones851]

Same imma wait a lot

[@joshuaB.Nicholas]

Exactly same here what is the point of buying it at the jump if your og switch still working.

[@user-li6ns2lk3z]

nintendo would roll out an update to slowdown/break the v2 switch and oled so you would buy the new one. they shouldve released the new switch instead of oled. they love to milk their fans for the same hardware with 64gb rom and oled screen😂😂😂

[@MikeDesign]

​@@joshuaB.NicholasMy wii is still working

[@wills2652]

I agree! Just upgraded to the oled and I love it! When the new system comes out not everyone is going to be getting it on release day and ppl will have to wait! Im fine waiting with my oled and I am very excited to get the new console eventually.

[@steverempel8584]

The only things I care about for a Switch 2 is backwards compatibility with my existing Switch Library, and the same swtich store, and the ability to improve the performance of my existing games. Otherwise I'm sticking with my original switch, and finishing up my purchases before the store goes offline.

[@cadearcher2258]

Something that can play past games with better visuals is literally all I want. Backwards compatibility is my #1 want

[@RobinPM100]

what is most important, that Switch 2 can play Switch 1 games - only next gen update required to put them in higher res and 60 fps

[@GameBlock_]

Given how much graphical quality Nintendo’s been able to squeeze out of the base switch, I can’t wait to see what they can do with a less underpowered console

[@QnjtGWonQNqVsbYyzjx4]

I doubt switch 2 is coming holiday 2024 or spring 2025 because they are just not ready for it yet. Look at the lineup known as of Sept 2023: Mario Wonder, Peach Showtime, Mario RPG and even Mario vs DK remake, these are games that take more time & cost than traditional remasters which I’d expect in a console’s last year(look at DS, 3DS, Wii and Wii U). Besides, they can totally launch a odyssey DLC at spring 2024 after the BCP end, giving 3D mario and zelda content at 2023 & 2024. I think a new console breed new possibilities but they are just not there. I’ve been saying the switch 2 coming late 2023 because of the lineup being smaller IPs and no games beyond tears of the kingdom and Pikmin 4 but this lineup is just less likely.

[@lucaks982]

@@QnjtGWonQNqVsbYyzjx4 Based off previous history it's pretty unlikely that they won't release a new console somewhat soon as they have already passed the point that they would normally release a new console - also considering the drop in sales each year and them saying they wont consider releasing a new one till the end of this financial year I think its a fairly good bet that we will see one next year or at the very worst very early 2025

[@QnjtGWonQNqVsbYyzjx4]

@@lucaks982 Okay, we’ve already past the 5-6 year mark, usually they’d release the new console in early 2022-early 2024. Besides, there is still a lot of big IP content left on switch that they can release(full remakes of older games such as oracle of seasons, super mario land 2 or a link to the past, dlcs for mario wonder, tears of the kingdom and mario odyssey, new games such as donkey Kong, Yoshi, mario party 12 and 2D zelda) I think a new upgrade can be coming though, there’s just not much system seller left now they release 2D Mario and 3D zelda. Who knows when they are dropping 3D mario content out.

[@RedFriction]

Just cause 2 is better looking than botw

[@user-wk7jk5of4f]

But its a worse game. Love just cause 2 and 3 but both botw and totk are better games than it.@@RedFriction

[@anacrea3931]

I just want them to reintroduce a streetpass type thing to whatever comes next. The integration of streetpass into various 3DS games was so charming and encouraged me to take my 3ds out with me. The only time I take my switch with me is if I'm travelling or going somewhere I'll be waiting for a long period.

[@MrCoppify]

Just think about it... Wii came out in 2006, 6 years later the Wii U came out DS came out in 2005, 6 years later the 3DS came out Even the 3DS came out 2011, 6 years later the Switch came out So obviously we are overdue for a new console since its been over 6 years

[@megadrivecorporation]

DS came out in 2004, not 2005.

[@muddybubble3292]

being able to play the entire Wii library would be the absolute bee's knees

[@user-ir8er1bh4q]

My idea would have been, that they upgrade the dock to form a powerfull console. The OLED is a pretty strong handeld update. There is a third party device that powers up your Switch by a huge margin, so Nintendo deffinetly could pull of something similar. Maybe this is was just an weird idea tho.

[@TyTystick]

It's a good idea, bit unfortunately the memory bandwidth of the Switch is too limited for a dock upgrade. They would need to make an entirely new console.

[@TwilightWolf032]

The "Wii U Dilemma" isn't really a dilemma as much as you'd think. The Wii had become a console seen as EXCLUSIVE for the casual audience, it turned into the bets selling console of the generation but did not sell software in the same ration as the competitors, and despite all of its complaints Nintendo decided to double down instead of addressing the issues. That's why the Wii to Wii U transition failed, because it was done out of ignorance. A Switch successor carrying over the Switch name, on the other hand, would be much more welcome and easily more understandable than the Wii U was after the Wii. Nintendo nailed the marketing with the Switch, it does sell a lot more software per unit sold than the Wii ever did, and a simple naming scheme like Super Switch or Switch 2 would avoid confusion by the general public, not to mention the target audience is hardcore gamers now, as opposed to what it was back in 2006 and 2012. So, it may look like a "Wii U Dilemma" on the surface, but isn't really the case because the entire scenario surrounding the company has changed.

[@jasperstuart5745]

Would you see a Super Mario Galaxy 2 remaster/remake released on the Switch Next year,it would make the difference in outselling the Wii in total sold units

[@TimmyDaTurtle]

I feel like the issue with switch 2 is gonna be more with accessibility and price point. Odds are if its gonna run with a better processor, its gonna cost more, and the battery is gonna die quicker. The size and form factor needed to cool it also mean this thing would be bulky and difficult to hold. With the increase in competition for hybrid consoles, It might honestly be better to just make a new handheld with increased power over the 3ds and more accessibility over both the switch and 3ds.

[@TwilightWolf032]

@@TimmyDaTurtle I agree that the major issues will be accessibility and power, but making something stronger than the 3DS will just drive their audience away. The Switch is such a wonderful console because it's both handheld and home console in one, but that includes its power that allow third party games to be ported over without major sacrifices. If you were to walk back on the power the Switch has, it would just erase all the good will Nintendo has garnered with the Switch and make the console a Nintendo exclusive product, much like the Wii U. I mean, would you want to put a more powerful 3DS on your 4K TV when Sony and Microsoft offer 4k games at 120fps? Not to mention it wouldn't even be able to play Switch games, so you would lose all the previous generation library as well. NVidia has the DLSS technology that serves to render images at higher resolutions with less resources, so that solves the problem of power and battery drain. Pascal was already dated back in 2017 when Nintendo released the Switch, but now we have much more efficient chipsets. Nvidia is rumored to be putting out a custom chipset for Nintendo (Pascal was not custom), so there should be a pretty nice balance between power and battery consumption while in handheld mode.

[@Gnidel]

​@@jasperstuart5745I think Galaxy 2 is saved for 3D All-Stars 2 with 3D Land, 64DS and 3D World + BF.

[@DecidiousGreens]

Remember when people were saying that the "switch 2" would be called the "Nintendo Switch Wonder", and it would release with mario wonder and be able to play that game in 4k

[@MangoPanic]

I feel like the Switch is more similar to the DS and Gameboy than the Wii/Wii U honestly. Many people thought the Wii U was some sort of add-on tablet, but it's very expected for handhelds to get consistent upgrades while still having backwards compatibility. I fully expect that to be the case too 'cause the Switch doesn't have any major gimmicks its had to drop or change majorly like the Wii did, and it has a fairly typical control scheme. Design-wise, I honestly think it'll be fairly similar, but I'd love to see a more ergonomic approach from Nintendo for once that would make it a bit more appealing to some of their older audience. Those joycons cramp my hands so bad! Smaller bezels would be great too.

[@domokun091]

I hope there isn’t a gimmick. Everyone saying it’s gonna be a Switch 2 DS and I’m just over here wanting something fun and graphically better. We don’t need 2 screens 😭

[@JRBowling1997]

Agreed.

[@anonwalkerr]

350 would mean they're cheaping out on stuff IMO. It just doesn't seem feasible. 400 feels right to me. I also don't think they're going to keep making the OLED. It's a premium base switch and they'll say "if you want a premium switch buy switch 2". Either Nintendo keep red box and lite or pick between one of the two IMO

[@mattia1026]

I'd love for them to have a basic $400 model and more costly premium model with an OLED screen and more in-built storage.

[@anonwalkerr]

@@mattia1026 while I would like that too it won’t happen. They can’t go over 400-450 imo and it isn’t worth it to make a premium version just yet. I think they will make it 400 then as the years go on it will be cheaper to manufacture, then they make the premium console and drop the regular in price just a bit.

[@anonwalkerr]

@@doesnotcompute6078 disagree. Nintendo targets everyone now. They’ll make a lite version in 2 years to specifically target the kids.

[@Derek21701]

I don't know, I think they might remove the older Switch and keep the OLED. It's basically Nintendo's equivalent to a slim version but not slim, in other words, a console refresh.

[@Derek21701]

I mean, it's really the same console with an OLED screen, a better kickstand and a new dock with ethernet port, and those little upgrades aren't really that big for the price, so I imagine they could discontinue the old Switch and drop the price of the OLED to 300$, since for so little it really adds, production costs on this device must be very similar to OG Switch.

[@lukewilliams3334]

I caught that Bowsers Inside Story Mario music when mentioning that you have chapters in the video!!:)

[@Zinj1000]

One concern I have is digital games. If I can't transfer them that's a bit of a ehh for me. I try to buy physical but sometimes it isn't easy finding some games.

[@MeMelon]

I'm really interested to see how a Switch 2 will differ compared to the Wii U. Both will be follow ups to a successful console, here's to hoping the success carries over (and gets a 3D Mario game soon please God)

[@cheezbunni3530]

the wii u did so poorly in part due to bad marketing and that’s not gonna be an issue with Switch 2 if they actively decide to either change the name or call it a sequel to the og

If it’s not this gen then next next gen, I expect a Nintendo console that will have an inbuilt “Universe” Type meta game. Select any Nintendo character, run around a bit and enter Smash, Kart, Sports or Party. The Smash concept of “Everyone is here” but applied to all their big games

[@switchfan9471]

Jesus Christ can i just enjoy my Switch for 2-3 more years? Its still popping off.

Yes, yes you can. In fact, you can enjoy a NES to this day. You don't need to get rid of your Switch when the new one comes out.

[@ddraptor4038]

[@Christo_glenn]

I really hope they put more effort into putting in higher-quality joysticks. When it comes to a boost in graphics, I think 12gb of high-speed v-ram would go a long way.

[@Dmhlcmb]

The switch is a perfect design, I wish it were a more powerful console but the hybrid portable with removable controllers is genius. I think they would be stupid to change form factor, add a gimmick and dial up the power and they have a winner.

[@spiritfox8]

I would like to see axelay, a new 2d castlevania, a second installment to the Mario RPG, another crono-trigger/ chrono cross game, and a decent Gun controller design for shooting games like Doom and Wolfenstein.

[@arisen456]

As someone who only got a switch lite I'm long overdue an upgrade😂 hopefully it comes out sooner than later and it actually has competent tech to its rivals.

[@samueljohnston9639]

This might sound a little silly, but I think one of the reasons that the Wii U was perceived as a Wii accessory, instead of its own product, is because of its name and color, obviously using the name Wii was a mistake but I would say using the white coloring was also a mistake because it was so closely related to the Wii, so I think the biggest mistake Nintendo could make is to call the console anything with the word “switch” in it, and also using red and blue as the base model color, if they do, it will be Wii U all over again and the casual buyer will ignore it as another “O-Led” or “Lite”

[@mangagod]

I want more functionality for the joycons. It's absolutely Criminal that no one has thought to release a twin stick mod to plug the joycons into so we can play games like virtual on/mech games or even a flight stick mod so we can play games like flight Sims or space Sims. Nintendo!! Show off such accessories!!!' it should be simple to make, without electronic components. Heck someone should make it as a mod project to showcase the feasibility on the PC

[@jasperstuart5745]

Because earlier this year the 3DS & Wii U eshop got shut down,& almost every single Mainline 3D Mario titles are available/released on the Switch as Remake/Remaster there’s a high chance that we see Super Mario Galaxy 2 & also due to the physical discs unit nowadays are hard to get/limited & expensive,so why Wouldn’t Nintendo Do that!?

[@westonmeyer3110]

They are probably saving Galaxy 2 for a Switch 2 remake

[@sizzurpgoblin4444]

will switch games be backwards compatible w switch 2? bc i dont know if im gonna get the new mario games if they cant be played on the new console coming out in like 4 months

[@088O]

if nintendos next console is similar to the switch with how it can be handheld or portable, they should have the built in hard ware be capable or 1080p60 in handhelp, and then when its docked use an external gpu inside the dock with thunderbolt to output or 4k60 or 1440p120

In all honestly, the switch doesn’t need to have 4K. The dock could be the 4K station for the tv’s.

[@rishin4]

When the switch oled came out, I thought the original Switch would go on sale, but the price didn't go down very much, and I didn't get it. I still don't have a switch at all. If this new Switch would potentially be coming sometime in 2024, do you think that means maybe the Switch OLED would go on sale for black friday or boxing day in 2023?

[@freshandsaltyjohnny]

nope. Nintendo is tight on sales. There's only bundle packs you get a oled switch with a game and joycon controllers for $300-350 i'm buying one today.

[@ravellailihengnorthvistass414]

even if they do release a new console i dont think they would stop releasing games on the nintendo switch since there is so many nintendo switch owners

[@UsualCreator]

Yeah,no way they will abaddon so many people like that, switch will probably still be supported with new releases for next few years, similar to ps4.

[@AceWolfO9]

It’s probably going to release alongside atleast one new game, like Mario kart 9 or some other game. If I you think about the original system, super Mario odyssey is still a big staple of switch games.

[@gergergrw]

i think nintendo can cram a more powerful graphics card if its size will be like a steamdeck

[@mindslikemine.8789]

Themes could be a cool feature

[@Moila.]

Checking other videos from other creators I’ve heard lots of times that the switch 2 is going to be like a ps4 but handheld with better quality better storage and probably a bigger range of games like COD or assassins creed etc etc. Aswell as an upgrade in the graphics card of some results of 0.4 in normal and .5 in overall easier games to a 1.4 and 1.5 quality increase more or so 4x more

[@jamesstafford5522]

Did you know in Canada it’s almost $100 dollars for one pair of joy cons

They might do something like they did with the new PlayStation controller where there where added buttons triggered and sensors and stuff but on a Nintendo switch and with a stylus & prob come out with an update for new themes for the switch and all switch models

[@pixelgaming7261]

If this new console doesn't let you download more than 4 games from the eShop without putting in an SD card I'm not even considering it. It needs to have 120Hz 1080p OLED. 1080p for obvious reasons but if the game is running at 120fps but the display is only 60Hz, who will be able to tell if it is 120fps or not? At least 128GB storage but preferably 256GB, and at least 8GB RAM. And something that is at least on par with the Steam Deck if not the ROG Ally. And also, faster charging, better battery life, microphones (let me know if the original has it but I'm not totally sure) and a camera would be nice addons but not strictly necessary.

[@Arroyoruiz]

All im interested in is a screen-less non portable stand alone nintendo game console. If they can make one cheaper then the regular screen switch.

[@joshg6792]

I never owned or played a switch since its been released and always wanted one. Now that im older i can buy one myself but now im just going to wait for upgraded one. Ive seen alot of reviews saying its showing its age since its been released 7 years ago. Hopefully Nintendo switch 2 comes soon 😅

[@F1nn731]

my theory for the switch 2 is an upgraded switch but the dock improves the graphics and framerates of the console like an attachment which improves the game

[@hotdogmanful]

this is what ive wanted for years. i dont get why they cant do this when egpus exist for laptops. i was kinda disappointed the Steam Deck dock didnt do this.

[@HeyItsAsmus]

I'd be happy with 4k on the TV or even 1440p on the TV if it meant more FPS. On the switch I want whatever will give me closer to 120 fps. if that's 1080p HD, then I'm fine with that. Definitely need 128-256gb hard drive, a slimmer dock, better battery life, and the old joycons working with the new switch. They could make the screen slightly bigger but honestly I'm even okay with the 7" OLED. If they can keep the switch down in size and squeeze an 8" screen though that would be cool too.

[@TheSaneDuck315]

man, I got myswitch at the worst time possible, I got it this Christmas but I’m not even gonnna have a year with it until it becomes “outdated”

[@hotdogmanful]

i just bought a switch oled and i think ive played it more in 2days since getting it, than i did with my launch switch that ive had since launch day lmao

[@laurenedney7]

It deserves a more powerful hardware up to 1080p in handheld mode and 1080/4k on the tv. This would mean that it'll handle higher quality games and they'll receive way more money. Of course it has to be backwards compatible. The switch as a whole feels quite empty.

[@thierrys85]

Let's just hope they don't fuck up the unveil, name, and marketing like they did with Wii U...

[@larrymcintosh1481]

I just invested so much into my switch I’m not buying a switch 2 for 10 years

[@user-po3vg5qm7t]

The 1st switch had a great launch, Splatoon 2, Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8, Mario Odyssey, And those games all sold more than 2mil in less than a week from their respective launches. Even though Mario Kart 8 just got Wave 6, Mario Kart 9 would sell more than the Booster Course Pass ever could. Take a look at Mario Kart 8's sales. Those little numbers says a lot for what a sequel could do. (We've also been playing Mario Kart 8 for a decade. Give it up Nintendo.)

[@luiegiii]

I hope a new switch can embrace a cellular data plan, streaming services, sturdier joycons and higher quality online. Microsoft has always had a great online service and it would be great for Nintendo to make an investment in it. There is a lot of room for improvement without having to reinvent the entire console.

Always get a Nintendo console on its 3rd or 4th year. You get all the discounts and there’s plenty of games on it. Also there may be a better version of the console out by then.

I bought a switch when it first came out and it wasn't long until they released a better version (improved battery) and then later also the OLED screens. When I tried to sell the first gen switch nobody wanted it because of its battery (which I actually never had an issue with). Good call to wait again.

[@ThePHCentrist]

Nintendo will not yet implement 4K for 2 reasons, price and hardware. Nintendo isn't aiming for AAA compatibility, they aim for accessibility and nostalgia to their target audience. At most they'll bump up to 2K with 60fps, and with 2K being the new "baseline" for games these days that's probably the mark Nintendo will aim for their next-Gen console. Also, Nintendo usually releases their next-Gen console along with the next Mario and Pokemon game. Not surprising that they're still milking those franchises.

[@AppeltjeEitje34]

This thing need more mutiplayer support and not only local multiplayer.

[@demonpride1975]

i imagine form factor will be similar to the switch, because they wanna kep that mobile tablet feel, an di think some people will be disappointed with that, thinking each console needs to be a revolution, me on the other hand a more powerful version of the swtich, just means that the games can get more detailed. i am ok with the joy cons, but yeah drift has to go.
