Sounds Like Nintendo Is Being Smart with Switch 2 – Next-Gen Console Watch



Welcome back to Next-Gen Console Watch. This week Daemon is joined by IGN’s Xbox podcast host, Ryan McCaffrey, and Podcast Beyond’s Max Scoville to talk Nintendo Switch 2 rumors. Leaks from manufacturers have provided more details on what updates Nintendo’s Switch 2 could have over the original. The leaks suggest magnetic joy-con, longer battery life, a larger and higher-resolution screen, and 4K output in docked mode. Plus, we go over last week’s poll, and have a new poll for you to vote on at IGN.com.

  1. If there's no backwards compatibility more or less switch 2 will probably have a few non-crashing games upon release. consolewannabe cartoonish at 4K isn't that amazing? 😉

  2. if it’s true they’re reverting to LCD they’re a joke and it’s a no sale from me

  3. If it doesn't have a new gimmick then it should have a bit of power, one X power with state of the art technology perhaps.

  4. What is the point of releasing new consoles anymore when we know the games are going to be comparable?

  5. It's cool yall talk about the pc handhelds but casual players don't care about the power or even the pc mobile consoles at that they care about the games and simplicity which moat people don't know what the steam deck and others even are

  6. Nintendo got destroyed by the gaming media for the Wii U. Today we have XBOX and PS both having released failed systems that were both lauded and honored by the gaming media.

    There is a bias. If it were not for their strengths Nintendo would be done for because of the gaming media.

  7. Nintendo is definitely playing it safe, if it ain't broke just make some modifications and still make millions.

  8. Interrupt entertainment entertainment entertainment entertainment. A turtle ant until I'm trying to rent a downt run. Don't run the internet and try that out.

  9. 4K on TV, 60 FPS, and backwards compatibility on our beloved Nintendo titles would be just perfect. Also Super Nintendo Switch just has a nice rhyme to it 😁

  10. Whatever Nintendo do by this point, the public will be flocking to buy rereleases of Wii titles

  11. Backwards compatibility on any console is not a feature, should be a given.

  12. Imagine having a external disc tray to play GameCube games or have hook ups to play and 64 games

  13. Im thinking of a graphic memory expansion dock so every actual switch would upgrade and of course you can sell it with an oled switch

  14. What amaze me is how you all speak about something that Nintendo never announced for almost 10 years. Thats crazy!
