"And won't natively run switch games. Players will have the opportunity to purchase their favorite titles in our new eshop available exclusively on our new console" - Nintendo probably

If they do that I'll just stay on the Switch.

So you're saying you wont switch to the switch two?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

You think they'd call it the Switch 2? No, it'll be way more vague about being a successor vs an upgraded console. New Switch, SwitchU, 3Dwitch, Switch Swatch, Sandwitch, SwitchPlus, Switch Yellow, Switch One. I'd bet on any of those.

Thank you for qualifying your source.

I'm hoping it's just a switch thst can do 4k at 60fps and the joycons are better.

PS5 can't even consistently give 4k60 on all titles. A tablet with a way lower power draw will not be able to do this for but a bare minimum of titles.

Nintendo games tend to be less demanding. They're built for the platform whereas PS5 is running PC ports generally.

The same can be said for Switch bs steam deck. Steam Deck can't reliably play 1080p60 for every game but the switch can.

Just don't name it the "Switch-U"

There's no way Nintendo abandons the removable joycons. They're such an important part of the switch experience.

Literally all Nintendo needs to do is release essentially the same hardware format with increased computing power, better screen, and a bit more "robustness" in the hardware (the OG feels plasticy and flexes quite a lot).

They'd sell it probably as much as the original. Because BOTW and TOTK deserve higher graphical output.

The Switch Lite doesn’t have removable controllers. So yes way they already did.
