Flarp nuggets

Ok

Honestly after watching the video, I really don’t see your predictions coming true at all lol. Great video tho!

Yo

This seems a lot like the Wii U. Thinking backwards isn't very Nintendo. They will usually throw the baby out with the bathwater and start fresh each generation.

Yeah, they're VERY careful when it comes to using social media and deciding how far players can interact with online. It can be frustratingly limiting at times, but when you think about how firm they are in providing for families and younger audiences, then I can't blame them.

Yep. Remember what happened with Swapnote?

Correct. I am not yet convinced that Switch 2 will even have chats like Playstation and Xbox...I hope it will, but we will see....

yeah, they already had a Notable Problem with people sending photos in Swapnote from what i remember

Yeah, this was pretty much my only thought throughout this video. Almost none of this makes sense for Nintendo. They're not big on sharing content in general. The open dock idea does sound like something Nintendo might do though.

I agree

it sounds like it would be mandatory tho. Would you still be opposed to it if it was entirely optional?

Yeah hard pass. Keep cameras and social media out of gaming. Just give us better performance

Wait till you hear about phones and smartwatches

That's exactly why it's realistic; companies are all on in creepy shit like this. And consumers kinda are too. If you have any sort of Google Home/Alexa device, that is constantly recording audio of your home. It has to be, otherwise it couldn't respond when you say the devices verbal cues.

or even better..... wario finger

Imagine if you walk into your room and your screen displays that one Goku meme.

Imagine people with pets like cats or dogs sleeping and the console sees the movment of the cat jumping on the bed and the switch is like: Hello its 2 am in a mario voice that sh*t will be insanely creepy

Imagine people with pets like cats or dogs sleeping and the console sees the movment of the cat jumping on the bed and the switch is like: Hello its 2 am in a mario voice that sh*t will be insanely creepy

Every kid has smartphones now. There's no longer any moral panic about kids sharing videos online, and it is the most common thing in the world now. Plus, Nintendo wants to appeal to everyone, not just kids and families. So, trying to appeal to the young adult, social media type would help them in that endeavour.

If that was true Nintendo would have some form of a legitimate party system on switch. ​@vico7727

Nintendo can make it limited tbh and if they don’t push the online part or make it for it being with local it shouldn’t be an issue and if it does it’s on the people that caused it not their liability

I think you mean every kid with parents that have bad parenting skills. what's put online stays online.@@vico7727

@@vico7727yeah but Nintendo lives in the stoneage, and also refuse to freaking advertise their Parental Controls app.

Amazing work! I loved your cartoon it really added to the video

You’re very talented! This was enjoyable to watch. Great job!

Best you'll get is native 1080p -- or worse -- upscaled by DLSS to not look awful on a 4k TV.

As someone with a few gradeschool aged nieces and nephews, I think you underestimate how important streaming is to the upcoming generation of kids. I say this as a 30-some-odd adult that doesn't enjoy streaming or watching Twitch.

@@brayoungfulthey may watch it but doesn’t mean they will contribute to it. I watched minecraft let’s plays non stop when I was younger, but doesn’t mean I want to make content… also Nintendo is so anti you profiting on their copyright, it would boggle my mind why they would make a system that makes it easier to do.

​@@Lukweoon the other hand, I watched Minecraft content all the time as a kid and wished for nothing more than to be able to make content myself, even if it was bad, but I didn't have access to the tools to make content and so I never did. If I could create right from my console, I might've explored that as a hobby more.

@@thomaes751 and you don't do it now... so you were never really interested you guys keep overinflating your childhood interests, when kids change hobbies every 3 seconds

agreed

I think what you want is a Steam Deck 🫣

I agree

1. Portable. 2. Extended battery. 3. More performance. (Optional): 4. More comfortable to use. 5. Larger screen. Edit: Slots for older game cards. Complete backwards compatibility with all their handheld consoles

Saaaameee.

@@sworntoavenge you know what I did forget backwards compatibility, that also definitely needs to be a thing.

There are surely people inside Nintendo who watch Arlo, no joke, Kit and Krysta said it was common for them to watch KZfaqrs.

Then arlo had better predict xenoblade x wont get ported

He literally got everything he ever wanted this year.

I just finished playing through my friendly neighborhood and its weird hearing arlos voice for me now

His ideas are fucking awful so one can only hope.

Hope we get some damn music in the menus this time lol

Maaaan I miss that

I want wallpapers and themes that aren’t just light and dark mode so bad 😭

I bet they've been saving that stuff for switch 2

@@t00nedd00d ALL I NEED

Honestly that's my only explanation for Arlo feeling waaaaaay off here.

They'll realize the I looks like a Roman numeral and call it the "SWIITCH"

Haha yeah

Nah, Arlo said that the switch successor would just be upgrade. That means Nintendo is gonna release a console with a new special feature

You need to rethink your definition of gimmick. The Wii U wasn’t gimmicky.

I feel like it could’ve just been a funny moment since it’s entertaining seeing usually silly characters being really serious, but it could definitely have a darker meaning. Then again I feel as if Arlo would’ve made a video so people would know about it instead of putting it in a sponsor that most people will skip.

​@@cubinelYup, i agree.

more than ok. arlo is right

Nah, back then in 2016 i could get they worried about that but this is 2024 (almost), every single brat has a smartphone now, it is far more likely to them to get in trouble via their phone than with their console, and they can probably just pull something that free them of any responsability of what ppl share or do in their social plataforms in the terms and conditions that nobody ever reads

@@Elchinodawn My kid doesn’t have a smartphone. Some of us love our kids and do what we can to protect them from predators. I’m sorry if your parents didn’t bother with that.

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@totallyfrozenwhat?? Ur kid not having a smartphone doesn’t take away from his point lol

@totallyfrozen everything he said was true though. Nintendo is a company and they will prioritize their business over the wellbeing of their customers when they think an idea can make them a lot of money.

@@Mutantman02 except it does, Nintendo doesn't care what people do with their iphones... they care that some bad press will come out of social media on their consoles it's not rocket science

Thank you, Arlo!

Also, PS5 and XS have bloated operating systems that take up too much RAM. If Nintendo wants to be competitive tech-wise, they need a minimalistic OS with very little in the way. That's what they did with the Switch.

I believe the switch was rushed so they cut all the extra work, it also doesn’t make sense to have these development in the mid-point of the lifecycle

Yeah I really don't think Nintendo is gonna go in this direction. Their consoles are geared too much towards kids to have video chat and a camera that's always watching your living room.

They could sort of do a modernized take on Pictochat; back then, you could only share things while you were in the same space as other users. So my take on it; you can't share things with anyone unless you've physically met them and had them willingly interact with your account.

The illegal photos would be insane

It absolutely would. Creepy nasty people can and will use anything they can to do despicably evil things.

It’s absolutely 180% NEVER happening for several obvious reasons.

I feel like the Switch 2 would have the OLED screen of the Switch OLED

​@@Niro267the screen should be better to match modern smartphones

It was the best ad I've ever watched

Wait there’s a MONSTER AT THE END OF THIS BOOK??

yea that was really sweet

The problem there, however, is translating games intended for a resistive screen to a less-accurate capacitive screen.

@@dapperfan44A lot of DS game don’t need that much accuracy. In case you need it, they can also sold the stylus seperately

That'd be pretty sweet

There's a number of DS games that required the microphone for various gimmicky things that are necessary for progression. I can't be the only one remembering just blowing hard into the DS microphone to trigger things.

You can use a stylus on the Switch as it is, but it's clunky at best. A better implementation of the screen that would allow such a thing would be great.

I think the the console does actually matter. For example, the Wii was more than just games with it's ton of channels. You can entertain yourself without playing games while not closing the Wii.

fr fr we're surveilled too much already

He had some great ideas I somehow hadn’t considered, that’s where the positives of this video ended. Once again Arlo didn’t understand console performance. He always acts like the Switch is X360 and PS3 equivalent and the upcoming system will go up a generation and match the PS4 and X1. The Wii U was Nintendo’s PS3 and X360, it got ports from them. Arlo must’ve played Pikmin 3 to death, I thought the upgraded visuals in Pikmin 4 would hammer in the fact that the Switch has more power than he believes. It approximates the original X1, Nintendo has been doing intergenerational consoles and it means intergenerational technology. Microsoft forces developers to support the Xbox Series S, and by coincidence (or Microsoft was planning something) it contains internals that would suit a handheld. The next Nintendo console will either match it or be a little stronger. Arlo also omits the patents that could very well be for the new system and they’re very kooky. So it likely won’t be just a Switch 2. Lastly Arlo could’ve mentioned there’s a high chance it will have DLSS 2 and FSR 3. These errors have made me lose a little respect for him.

so glad i found a comment about this 🙌

thanks kane

No, we cannot.

Bro why do we have the same profile picture. I thought I commented and forgot

NGL I thought i had replied to someone and forgot when i saw your PFP @@manaf1479

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s literally all I want… plus a better home screen with eshop music girllllllll

​@@IsraelLlerenaeShop has to actually run on the console before they can add music. Load time has become abyssmal as the shop bloats in size

And letting us buy the older NSO games like Gamecube games

Link's Awakening """remake""" (more like a demake but I won't go off right now) on Switch 2, but accessing more power so it stays at 60fps instead of constantly swinging all over the place... The game would actually be playable, that would be nice

I don't think older games can do stuff it was not programmed for without a patch, but they should do less frame drops or downscaling and still keep FPS constant.

That's the issue with Nintendo making a straight "sequel console", it would never sell as well as the switch, and it would be a hard sell for anyone casual who "already has a switch". I'm surprised Arlo didn't consider that.

​@@Starius65yeah I heard that back when Super Nintendo released a lot of parents treated it like some sort of scam to make them buy the same console...

@@TakisEnjoyer despite Arlo's reasoning, even with a "2" in the name, parents still won't get it. It's like the iPhone problem; they'd see it as an upgrade not a successor. "Well the iPhone 2 already plays everything the iPhone 1 does so we obviously don't need to get you a switch 2!" They wouldn't get console succession.

@@Starius65No one seems to have a problem with Playstation 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5

The PlayStation has this problem every few generations, and it's becoming especially problematic now when so many things _are_ being cross-released; the 3 sold much worse (comparatively) to the 2 and the 5 is not selling as fast as expected/compared to previous generations. It's a diminishing problem. Not to mention that Nintendo has that problem with _every_ sequel console where it doesn't sell anywhere near as well as the original. It's a plan that's doomed to fail.

Very true.

When the music stopped, I knew it was serious.

I doubt it will THAT much bigger.

I mean, it probably won’t be anything like this. It’s a prediction, not guaranteed that even some of the features would make it.

No different than your phone tbh

literally just some menu music would be amazing. The switch menus just feel so dead

Agreed. The Switch's UI is so plain.

I want a new version of Miiverse where i can follow communities for certain games and posts screenshots, clips, and comments. Oh, and the drawings.

There’s so many switch games that could benefit from the extra power too. It seems like a huge mistake for it to not be backwards compatible

I think it was the company president who said back before/around the Switch launch that digital purchases would be tied to the new Nintendo accounts for the future - I’d like to imagine we’ll be able to have Pikmin run all our little files over but I also know Nintendo likes their money and can’t imagine it being completely free. Even the upgrade from Wii to Wii U virtual console games required a small fee

If that happens then I hope there’s a juicy exploit on the console so we can mod it and play the games we already bought that way.

Do we even have much precedent of Nintendo or any console maker doing this though? I wouldn't hold my breath about this.

@@jaykebird2go Sony and Xbox have been doing it since PS3 - PS4 and Xbox 360 - Xbox One if I’m not mistaken

To be fair 32GB wasn't even enough for many last gen games and that didn't seem to slow Nintendo down

I Don't know it was nate the hate or someone else say that the successor could come out with either 128 or 512 GB of storage but that could charge before final product launch. I believe this could happen all we know they could discontinue OG(v2) model and lite somewhat(replaced it a mini version that is a lot cheaper) Cut the price of oled model before successor come out.

Whatever it is we all know its gonna be $500 cuz Nintendo is gonna match the Xbox and PS

Next Switch won't be native 4k.

@@hododod246 Native? Hell no. It’ll be upscaled 4K via DLSS.

It may be the bare minimum, but it's what they'll do -- PS4 ballpark power but current gen feature parity.

nah ps4 pro should be the bare minimum, not base ps4

@@lemon5000-tj6nv I would prefer that for sure but I don't know how much power they can squeeze inside a handheld while also not making it too expensive. It definitely can't match current gen on it's own.

DLSS isn't rumored it was fully leaked during the NVIDIA data breach. It's pretty much confirmed unless nintendo decides to change their mind due to the cyber attack but I highly doubt since it will allow them to compete with current gen even better

@@lemon5000-tj6nv no PS4 is more realistic, get your head out of the clouds, PS4 Pro would raise the price of the system significantly and Nintendo is all about balancing affordability with power.

It is indeed life changing so in the words of Shia “just do it!”

"The older ones will probably get cheaper" Sure they will

​@LARAUJO_0 Of course, they will by $50. The Oled will be $300 the switch $250 And the portable switch $200.

@@cablefeed3738 I think you mean $150 for the Switch lite, it's already $200.

The rumoured prices are $400 and $450 but I think that's way too high.

@@greenhill004 I couldn't remember if the switch light was 200 or 250. But there's no way they're going to drop it below 200.

Exactly, there was also an interview in like 2019 I think of nintendo saying they want to innovate the controller next. Then theres also the NVIDIA leaks which give us a solid foundation for switch 2 and what it may have

People would be fine with no joy-con compatibility, after all the joystick drift and people eventually have to move on. I think pro controller should still be compatible though.

Perhaps Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit was them testing the idea? MAYBE! Pikmin Live sounds like a natural choice. What would the Pikmin think of my cat walking toward them...

Hold your Switch as if your playjng naturally and imagine it has a rear facing camera. You will quickly understand why Nintendo will not have this especially not with any sort of recording to share features

@@chiquita683 that's completely irrelevant to the concept i was specifically talking about, my original comment had nothing to do with sharing or social media whatsoever lmao also the DSi and 3DS literally had cameras facing both ways and AR stuff already so ???

​@@yourehereforthatarentyouNah, they won't do it because they still remember what happened with Swapnote and Miiverse

None of it is aligned with nintendo’s current direction unfortunately. Social media and sharing pictures/clips won’t be happening on a console sold to families with kids who are vulnerable on the internet. Parental controls are not enough of a solution either.

Yeah it would be nice but it's not going to happen I don't think. Nintendo seems to be really out of their league when it comes to trying to develop for mobile and I don't see that changing, hopefully I'm wrong though.

Wait until this guy hears about the Wii U

I hope they go with a dongle instead of a dock. I miss the duel screen stuff on Wii U.

Wonder if a set up like this will implement DS like games or ports of DS games in theory.

Who has their dock close enough to see the screen while they play? I primarily play PS5 on my iPad and keep the screen covered because it’s distracting seeing the motion on the screen and the TV. I can’t imagine having to look down for important information on the dock while playing a game. It was different on DS when the screens are next to each other, but with a Switch the dock could be in a different part of the room from the TV you play on.

Oh my God, rear view for racing games would be so damn slick

No, please, stop

no, just give it a new name. I came up with the Nintendo FOCUS leak. And I thought that was a good name. You want this new console to feel as different as possible

- Nintendo Hyper Switch - Nintendo Switch Turbo Bring back 90s names

Virtual Boy U

Super Nintendo Switch is the best name. Has a legacy for Nintendo.

I wanted a sensor bar when playing Pikmin 4 so much, it would've been so much better...

I’d love for some kind of touch screen support but idk how they’d do it, maybe a Bluetooth screen…?

I want to play DS games on it, too. Like, okay, we have NES, SNES, N64, GB, and GBA emulators on Switch. There are more Wii U ports on this console than strands of hair on my head. And if you want to play a Wii game... just get your Wii out of the attic, don't act like you DON'T own a Wii, silly. But then there's GCN and [3]DS titles. 99% of them have been stuck on their home consoles ever since day 1. Yeah, the Wii U had a DS emulator, but it didn't even have Pokémon titles on it, so that automatically barely counts. I want to play NewSMB2, Samus Returns, Kirby Planet Robobot, Hey Pikmin!(ironically, let's not kid ourselves), and so many other titles that are stuck on that system. I'm actually pissed that we don't have a DS emulator on Switch considering that thing is going to be 20 years old only in a few new moons. Like, it's OLD now. It's no longer just a pre-modern console; it's a legacy console now, like the GameCube.

I agree, the switch 2 should be stronger and fix control issues, but really sell itself as the master console for all nintendo consoles. Bringing back legacy features could allow new ideas in current nintendo games as well. The switch 1 could support a lot but not everything. I’ve been wondering how they could incorporate a sensor bar…it shouldn’t be an actual sensor bar like before, it should be embedded somewhere.

Please no with DLSS. All of these upscaling features are failures that make games look ugly. Let's stick to native resolution.

VR is probably red ocean at this point. How could they keep up?

​@wesshiflet2214 Since it'd be the console's primary selling point and "bundled" with each system, the VR market would grow exponentially. All the major VR hits would get ports to it, and all the major Nintendo franchises (Mario, Zelda, Animal Crossing) would get new, exciting games that take advantage of it. If it worked, it could lead to widespread VR adoption in a way we've never seen before.
