I would love a Super Switch 😁

As cool as that would be, I don't think Switch should be in the name at all. We don't want another Wii U situation. 🫠

Super Nintendo Switch

​@@Merz0r I think that the concern is somewhat misguided considering the inspiration would be from the Nintendo Entertainment System and Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Also there's the DS but also the 3DS and 2DS which worked out well. The major difference too is that the Switch is actually a pretty good console, so it would be hard to fumble a successor console.

Stupid names like Super Switch will result in another WiiU.

Yeah , like as if he knows us personally lol

You’re expecting to much. We will get some games and maybe a switch online expansion and that’s it. The good stuff will be preserved for switch 2

Switch 2 end of 2025

​@@1995krampeOk? It's still a direct Lmao. He didn't say he had hight expectations. But a localized Yo-Kai Watch 4 would be Nice.

@@1995krampe I’m thinking Metroid prime 4 will be there. That’d probably be the last big game for the switch. And before anyone says that they’d save it for the switch 2. It’d be a bullet in the head for a franchise that doesn’t sell very well to begin with to have to sell on a console starting from zero rather than having over 100 million units already in peoples hands. It’d be a very bad decision

Lmao.

Waiting for the announcement of the trailer that announces when the announcement trailer will be announced.

There were rumours that there was a rumour but that was just nonsense.

Worked great with gta 6's announcement

2 am for me, heck yeah

for alex it was about 9am

5.00 pm

go back to sleep, the day hasn't started yet.

They did that with the Switch because nobody was buying the Wii U anymore, they would be crazy to miss on another Christmas with good Switch sales by announcing the successor just before it.

April. They previously said no new hardware this fiscal year.

​@@GreaterPhenom they'd be crazy not to keep selling people the current switch this Christmas. People are still buying it.

@@GreaterPhenomidk tho. Holiday release is really chaotic. They have a bunch of competition during that time. So I would think they would want to do it either a bit earlier or later

Exactly… (A handful of people, on a leaky boat, are gonna save the world…)

Jon 2: Faster. Stronger. Danisher.

Maybe he is the "Super Jon Entertainment System"

Haha, I thought that wasn’t the best way to explain the word successor. Can be as vague as anything that comes after and replaces another thing. Two people imply it should be a similar thing, but can be anything that fills a similar role. So for products, the “Switch successor” could be board game that you buy new skins and pieces for. It could be a desktop computer tower with proprietary Nintendo software. It could be “The GameCube Yet Again.” (Wouldn’t complain lol.)

It would be an honour if he was called, "Jon U".

we can only hope.

Maybe. I would not get my hopes high though. This is Nintendo we are talking about after all.😞

This is what I've been saying/thinking. Nintendo would be crazy not to do this. I predict a joint eshop where some games are compatible on both, only few games are exclusive to the new system (but others will run better/smoother on the newer system, perhaps in better resolution like 1080p handheld and/or 4k docked if it has the same system of play-modes), and all games are clearly labeled with which console versions they run on like the current eshop with play mode icons, except including the new system and whatever playstyles it has. Having some excellent Switch 2 exclusives but keeping the eshops the same and having full backwards compatibility would keep incentive to upgrade to the new system while also making that jump so much smoother and easier because you could sell your old Switch and keep your old games on the new system, plus it would instantly give the new system a massive catalogue of available games even aside from any launch titles. I really hope Nintendo goes down this route. It'd be cool to have some games allow a resolution increase on the new system if the developers decide to implement it too. A performance/FPS boost should be a given if all Switch titles are compatible immediately without extra dev work on all those games too. If they do everything I listed here, I'd be happy to call it the best if not one of the best console launches ever executed if the actual hardware is also up to par.

Exactly, people will always make the mistake to assume the best thing will happen and then blame Nintendo for not making their exact dreams true 😂

I think you’re completely forgetting how braindead the chat is during direct. They’ll spam where’s silksong and where’s the next switch system. The ppl in chat don’t actually follow news channels

8 years of mobile technologies gap are so massive. Can't brain what Nintendo can do with a Switch 2 than the 2015 Switch technologies. DLSS alone is massive

Watch it be the exact same thing as a OLED just new shell

​@Hazeman. Fr I hope it's sth groundbreaking in the gaming industry not just some upgraded switch

@@OmEn2. Rest assured. Switch 2 customised SOC vs Switch non customised SOC alone vastly different significantly

8 years of mobile technologies gap are so massive. Can't brain what Nintendo can do with a Switch 2 than the 2015 Switch technologies. DLSS alone is massive

Iirc, when they talked about Lite and OLED models they refered to them as "iteration" and "part of the switch family / lineup".

Switch is in the top 3 of best selling consoles of all time. Do you think Nintendo will go back to the standard stationary home console? Nah, man, hybrid is from now on. No matter what it's called, the successor of the Switch will have handheld and docked mode and most likely backwards compatibility with Switch.

@@thedonzhorzh Switch era profit already exceeding all previous Nintendo consoles & handhelds profit COMBINED.

​@@thedonzhorzh indeed .Hybrid is the way. I can play FIFA on the plane.

Yeah like there's always 2 instances of each Link in LoZ: LoZ - LoZ 2, LttP - LbW, OoT - MM, Wind Waker - PH - Spiri... dammit

they did at least 3 generations of gameboy (5 if you count the pocket and micro). and i don't understand how the n64 and gamecube are the same concept. beside both being game consoles, one used cartridges and the other used discs. and the wii is literally just an overclocked gamecube with a different controller.

@@oxenford539 I guess N64 and Gamecube were both 3D gaming systems with no additional gimics? Just my guess. Plus there was DSi which technically had a few games just for it.

Yup, Next Gen Switch still have JoyCon likes Switch. It's a new gen but use some off the same thing likes previous gen. After Next Gen Switch/Super Switch than Nintendo can abadon hybrid or joycon maybe ?

@@oxenford539 N64 and GC was in the 3D infancy generation. GC was basically a better N64 instead of completely new thing, much like SNES was a better NES. And I'm not counting minor updates; it would be silly to consider them as generations on their own.

That's so funny, I FORGOT TO LAUGH!!!!!!! 😃

Yep!!!

For me it'd be ideal if it's compatible with the whole switch catalogue and shares an eshop with it. It could be one of the best and smoothest console launches ever. Give it an instant catalog of games especially if upgrading from the Switch, keeping all your old games rather than starting over from nothing. Newer customers picking up the new console after not trying Switch previously will mean even more potential sales on Switch games, let alone new shiny releases.

Yep. The model Just Works, console competitors aren't doing all that much with more advanced specs, the main pain point on Switch has been performance even on first party games so even without bridging the gap it'll be a nice breath of fresh air for everyone on the platform. Make the controls and OS feel a bit more premium, except the screen that may be re-released with OLED down the line (wish it wasn't but it's a likely sacrifice next to the overall better hardware that should justify the jump on release).

What lol.

I'm sorry Furukawa. I'm guilty and have sinned. I accept punishment as you see fit.

Nintendo didn’t do anything wrong, Nintendo’s just protecting their IP and software, but if this was Sony, you’d give them a free pass. I see you.

​@@Adamtendo_player_1 I don't give a sh*t about Sony. If anything, I'm more of a Nintendo fanboy. But still - yes, LEGALLY, Nintendo did nothing wrong. But morally and logically, their move was ass. They claimed to be fighting piracy. But from someone who as done a good bit of research about the topic, let me tell you: Taking down Yuzu emulators didn't do sh*t to combat piracy. And it also in no way or shape protected their IP and software. Piracy can be done without Emulation. And Emulation can be done without piracy. Pirates don't need an Emulator to play their pirated games. Most of them do play them that way, but they could just as well play them on a cheap, actual Switch they bought used. And even those who do use emulators are "minorly inconvenienced" at most, by what Nintendo did to the emulators. Pirates are pirates. Them now having to pirate the emulator as well as the game will not really bother them. What Nintendo really did was show a middlefinger to people like me. Who legitimately bought a Switch (twice, mind you) and legitimately buy all their games, and just wanted to play their own, legally owned, self-dumped (not pirated) games in a much better way, that Nintendo themselves fail to provide with the Switch. I have not caused them ANY financial loss by doing that. And yet people like me are the ones who get scr*wed the most by what Nintendo calls "fighting against piracy", to sound heroic and get supporters on their side. And to their success, most their fans don't bother to rationally think about the facts and do some research, but just eat up what Nintendo, or just as uninformed internet personalities tell them.

@@awakenedcrowl Come on... you KNOW 90% of people playing games on Yuzu are not playing their "legally owned games".. let's not be overly naive here.

I think it’s successor will be compatible with the current switch games, especially as Nintendo knows what they have with the current switch as Nintendo has a great track record with backwards compatibility with the only exception being the Wii U and the Switch.

Good then you can wait for them to fix any issues with the next console or purchase the revised version

Considering it’s about 5 months from official reveal trailer to launch, it’ll be September at the latest. But I’ve got a feeling it’ll be sooner than that. Maybe summer?

Do you really think they will stride away from a console that sold more than 140 million units?

@@geminisfl I guess we'll find out.

@@geminisfl I predict a joint eshop where all Switch games are compatible on both, some newer games are exclusive to the new system (but others will run better/smoother on the newer system, perhaps in better resolution like 1080p handheld and/or 4k docked if it has the same system of play-modes), and all games are clearly labeled with which console versions they run on like the current eshop with play mode icons, except including the new system and whatever playstyles it has.

correct it is planned for 2026 release worldwide but nintendo will reveal the console march 2025 there is a vigeo games only direct coming next month at most we will probably hear about news of switch 2 coming around the game awrds 2024 in December not now

​@@adamnewman1672bro I think the system will launch in early 2025- 💀

​@@adamnewman1672 It won't release in 2026. This thing is coming out next year. Just by announcing that it exists, sales of the Switch 1 will take a hit and with their software being mostly remasters and remakes(which means their studios are moving towards the successor.) this announcement is for the shareholders that might be concerned about the company's results. They will not take kindly an entire fiscal year (March 2025 to March 2026) without new hardware to drive sales up.

​@@adamnewman1672 passing off information as fact I see. There's no way the new console is releasing later than 2025

​@@adamnewman1672haha.. the GOTY awards? 🤣 you almost got me there. LoL

Could be for holiday 2025

Yeah would be cool! I'd like to have the switch 2 on my final High School Year! (2025)!

They already sold almost 2 million less in '23 holiday season compared to '22 and over 10 million less games and are already down 13% compared to '22. I don't think it will tank that much, especially if you can play you old Switch on it.

They said 10, which could still be true even if the successor was released sooner, cause the switch could still get support with the new console out

@@christianr.5868 Usually yes, Nintendo supports two generations simultaneously for some time. For example, the last games for the NES were published as far as 1994, when the Super NES was already 4 years old in Japan! But I guess keeping support for the Switch untill 2027 it's too much to ask.

@@christianr.5868 point is 8 yrs is 2025. They’ll release successor in 2025, and support original for 2 yrs, 2027 and that’s 10 years

Hey I am also from Portugal!

Portugal caralho!

2026 release nintendo has delayed it due to COVID-19 in 2020 so all games and future consoles releases got pused back 1 year so the console is to be revealed march 2025 the current console still has life till February 2025

@@adamnewman1672 it’ll likely be released 5 months after the official reveal, September 2025 at the latest

​@@adamnewman1672 as of right now 1st party software support for switch ends in June 2024 so saying it has life until Feb 2025 is presumptuous/made up

The switch is old, but for me, the switch is still the best system on the market in my opinion it has an amazing vast library of games. You may like to remind people who are still relatively new to the switch like myself about how old it is and so what it’s still a fantastic system and it’s still will be when it’s successor comes out.

@@Adamtendo_player_1 I’m looking forward to what the next system will bring tbh

Oh but there's no break for the made up good news / bad news cycle until it's out. Then it'll be the cycle about the Switch 2 Pro, etc.

@@mkjjoe yeah everyone just wants to be ahead of the next big piece of ooooh maybe this shiny thing news cycle. It’s honestly tiring. I like “leaks/rumors” for the ideas of speculation. It’s nice to theory craft what could happen but man it gets out of hand so damn fast and it being something else every other day gets old quick.

How ???? It's always on 🔥 just because it had a gap in games for now doesn't mean they fell off lol

It's like one of best selling consoles ever.

Swiitch?

Certainly for eShop purchases. The future of physical copies is uncertain.

Doesn't every franchise have an anniversary every year?

They don't make full line ups based on anniversaries.

Mario was first released in 83 so you want them to release a game for the 42nd anniversary?

​@@greenhill004it was released in North America in 1985 maybe that's what they mean?

He may only work part-time.

It's because of their financial planning. They need to explain to investors why they expect a big increase in profits in 2025 and that would almost certainly get leaked so they might as well tell everyone publicly.

What strikes me the most is the announcement of a June direct... that is such a so no-nintendo thing to do!

This has been confirmed by devs already. Runs upgraded switch software at 60fps. Whether that's true for all switch games is u known but what devs have been shown has been

@@MrSPW93 Really? That's awesome. Can you link me to where you found this?

Probably bro.

Even better tho, it will hit a smooth 60.1999888°£ fps. How about that.. how about that..

Okay, give me a break about the frame rate which hardware is old and the dips in frame rates for games like Zelda is that there’s a lot going on and it’s really pushing to switch hardware. Games like Zelda are still playable regardless of the frame rate issues and you forget the games that do run at 60 FPS on the current switch asked for the most and the issues with the current switch is more to do with developers doing too much or just plain bad porting I will defend the switch hardware. I love this system. I still think it’s the best system on the market with the best library of games and the best variety no is perfect but all I see is a lot of entitled gamers complain about the switch since when the switch is still pumping out software where are Sony and Microsoft games for 2024?
