GTA5 was originally an PS360 game, the original Switch can run GTA5. Also none of us know the hardware of the Switch 2, so how would we know what it can and cannot run?
So slightly larger screen and a resolution bump?…that’s it?
So it’s a Switch Pro then?
Sure hope so, because that would be disappointing.
I could see a cross gen Metroid Prime 4 (although to be honest I hope it's not cross gen) and Mario Kart being there at launch to really push the system. Having Mario Kart there day one would be a big push for the system and you know that game will continue to sell throughout the entire life of the new device.
I doubt Nintendo is holding off the Switch 2 just for that, although I am sure they would be happy with that achievement lol. Time to slash the price of the current switch and make it happen Nintendo!
Even if its downgrade a lot, i think lotta people will buy it.
I am pretty sure they will go down 50$ by either summer or fall as a limited price cut to clear inventory.
Bwahahahaha!!!! I participated in that thread!!!!Pretty hilarious how the Nintendo console everyone thought would flop is going to end up being the highest selling video game console in history.
Betting time: Do you think the Switch will be a success?
I always love to retrospectively read GAF's prediction threads and see how many crows are being served, the thread placing WiiU/XB first and Sony disappearing or failing with the PS4 before this gen started is so much fun! So now that we have enough details about the price, specs, launch line...www.neogaf.com

Bwahahahaha!!!! I participated in that thread!!!!
Here was my prediction from 2017:
Spirit Icana said:
"I voted "Wii style hit."
I think it'll start slow but pick up like the DS did.
I still need to see the next 2D Mario. I have confidence Pokemon will continue to do work, and it's a good thing Nintendo is continuing with their unique proposals with 1-2 Switch (hard to see this selling though) and Arms.
I think mobility is the future of console gaming."
"Never thought the over sized Wii U controller with a short battery life was any good. Thing was anti-Wii in so many ways.
Switch will have Wii-motes and traditional controls all packed-in on day 1. The handheld and stand are much better teetered to Japan's needs for mobility and playing on the go. Don't think the size will be a problem either. This is a region where Vita hasn't bombed spectaculary, and two pockets will probably hold the unit and the seperated joy-cons just fine.
I expect to hear lot's of stories of lost joy-cons. And the price for those are steep. Parents are gonna have a field day with these things.
Edit: Oh, and I think Switch needs a Wii Sports game. By that, I mean, Switch sports. Tennis, golfing, something mainstream. Maybe they can prove HD rumbles worth with something like that as well. Don't think 1-2 Switch is really gonna grab much attention or appeal due to the activities on their, like milking, not being very mainstream."
And here is what these mofos said to me:

Source is page 73 and 78.
Where are these people now? Switch is now bigger than a "Wii style hit", and mobility+console gaming isn't looking like a far reach today. Also, Switch Sports happened (I didn't predict it, but I said it should happen).
Btw, I'm quite happy with my morning job.
I don't believe the Switch can 'run' GTA V, at least properly. The game has evolved lots from its early PS3/360 days, and i mean all the GTA online stuff, but also visually. The only option Rockstar would have is to cut the visuals and online stuff, wich would turn off alot of players.
At the very least, it’ll be able to stream it.
The same way Wii/DS/3DS/WiiU/Switch were 'outdated' at the time,it matters less each passing generation,it all depends if they can make the product appealing with strong software ,innovative concepts and marketing.
People really need to understand that switch is using old ram, old storage, old chip with old power consumption. And when I say old, it's old old. I'm glad Nintendo waited all these years because people will be surprise what a new handheld from Nintendo/Nvidia will be able to do with new hardware and active cooling.
. It looks like this Nikkei report has been hit with a good ol' community note on X/Twitter lol. 
This AI chat bot speaks the truth.
The issue is that potentially they will not receive some of the PS5/XS ports and of course PS6/Xbox Next (if exists).
I agree. Not sure why you quoted me though. I have no idea what the Switch 2 power will be. I assume it will have a much better WiFi connection, which is why I think streaming will be a much more viable option than it was on the Switch. I hope the Switch 2 dick has an Ethernet port this time.
A stable connection for the dick is a must.
I think they could get GTA6 running if they tried, only thing that would give me pause would be the file size. That shit would probably come on a 16GB card with a 80GB "patch"
Now this has me wondering - I'm assuming Nintendo uses cartridges again and ones that fit the same slot as the original Switch...I think they could get GTA6 running if they tried, only thing that would give me pause would be the file size. That shit would probably come on a 16GB card with a 80GB "patch"
Current largest card available for Switch is 64GB which was introduced in 2020 apparently but I don't know of any game that uses it. A lot of publishers seem to be opting for lower capacity cards and letting the user down the rest via patches due to the costs involved with higher capacity cards.
For anyone who wonder what the context said.Okay, so this is rather awkward
Nothing Nintendo can do about that, they knew going with the Switch it wouldn't get all third party games from more powerful consoles,it was a risk launching an hybrid tablet, they still had Nvidia update their hardware and tools so that third parties could launch some of their games without much trouble figuring out the system, for the most part it worked .
Price looks right and it'll be able to run most multiplatform games with enough work.
Please show me the Nintendo users in this thread saying it will be close to PS5
I wouldn't expect a 4 month delay to have any impact on the parts used at all.
