Thread 'The Nintendo Switch 2 is Announced (+ New Direct on April 2nd)'

Jan 16, 2025

In an announcement no one saw coming today, Nintendo have shadow-dropped their reveal of newest addition to the Switch family, none other than the successor itself! With a lot of info teased within the trailer itself. It’s been heavily speculated that the trailer would be upon us, but no one anticipated a shadow drop. Classic Nintendo!

Slick New Design​

The Switch 2 seems to be following upon the footsteps of the Legion Go with its joycon design, omitting the “slide” that the previous switch had and instead opting for a more clicky...

Tbh i hope the UI and software will get a lot better now, and let's hope for themes

 

[DunkeyKong]

This feels like the PS4 trailer but with Nintendo aesthetic

 

[RashFaustinho]

I really like the name

For once, they went for something very straightforward

Looks like Nintendo fires the first shot for the next console war.

Microsoft and Sony are those who usually compete with each other. Nintendo does their own thing.

YOOOO u beat me to it lol im kinda excited it looks cool i gave my switch to my gf cause i hardly used it i never found the fun besides playing like 1st party titles on it. So if they can market this well with a little bit more of a boost compared to the first switch I’m hype

Ya and they are both snoozing I need Microsoft and Sony to stop being so passive and just say fuck you to each other and use the companies they have to make games that make me want to buy their console. Crazy exclusives I can only play on that console

If we want to put in terms of "console war", Nintendo Switch outperformed both Playstation 4 and Xbox One in terms of sales. And kept being a competitor during PS5/Xbox Series X era.

Personally speaking, I liked Playstation 4 and I liked Switch 1. All the other consoles after those two IMHO have been utter garbage.
Except Steam Deck, Steam Deck is cool. But I didn't own one, went for another PC Handled instead.

Bro if Sony doesn’t lock in I don’t think they will ever beat that ps4 hype again like people wanted a ps4 so bad it was the console you had to be on and it still kinda is that way

Oooo! You know last night there was "leaks" all across the imageboards, even on 2chan about the new Switches announcement and I dismissed it. I guess the marketers were building up hype!

.. I know I shouldn't but I'll get it!

Wait and see how it turns out it can either be amazing or incredibly disappointing can go either way

It felt like it was Sony's last great gen too, for me that is
Even the trailer was still a pure hype train

I remember the ps4 trailer I was still in fucking elementary school bro ? shit was crazy I grew up at the end of the ps3 into the ps4 and that was my console all throughout middleschool and middle of highschool until I got my Pc

I don't just buy consoles on a whim. If it's backwards compatible with my Switch games then I've already got a huge library to play from, so I'll get it only if it is! I might wait just in case they do that thing they always do where a slightly better version comes out, or the first one has some awful problems like the drift.

 

[Bobmeboi]

I can wait to see in weeks after releases to see a exploit to jailbrake it

 

[Clippy]

Can't wait to see it emulated.

 

[Bobmeboi]

you guys thing the mig switch thing will still work or will Nintendo patch it like nintendo did the early R4 cards for the 3ds?

for anyone who needs more info
Edit: decided to link the article in the opening post itself

 

[Tonberry]

I like how sleek it looks. Was never a huge fan of the colored joycons.

The exclusives they are making don't impress at all. This year I bought mostly Switch exclusives.

That’s the real reason I would get it early LOL

When I saw the trailer I was like, man, the leaks were legit! And sadly, there was no hype.

 

[RashFaustinho]

I think I'll get one, funnily enough, because I want to give away my PS5.

So maybe I'll use some kind of store preorder and get it that way

 

[antii antii]

The only sad thing about this whole Switch 2 is Etika won’t be here to see it ?

A few months ago I was considering a ps5 but I realized it just doesn’t work with my workflow now

 

[Yousef Yousef]

New direct too
