Uhh these black bars around the gameplay, that's not how it's gonna be IRL right??????????????

Yes, you've gotta wait for the Switch 2 OLED to launch in 2027/2028 for less bezels.

 

[MMaRsu]

What is the issue with the black bars?

You see how much of the screen isnt being used?

 

[Imru’ al-Qays]

Waiting for the Lite

 

[V1LÆM]

at least it's official now. the leaks can fuck off. nintendo is in control now!

now we wait for release date and games.

 

[Alebrije]

Well now wait for the spects and games...

 

[V1LÆM]

Well, I guess it's not releasing in March again, then. Dammit.

march was always never gonna happen lmao. likely a late 2025 release. No earlier than July I'd say.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

“All that for a drop of blood.”

 

[Midn1ght]

Direct in April huh...

Also, leak or not, this is probably the laziest new console reveal ever. I mean Jesus Christ.

 

[CLW]

I do like the all black system.

 

[MayauMiao]

You see how much of the screen isnt being used?

Yeah so?

 

[Kings Field]

Sick..day fucking 1

 

[PeteBull]

Mario Kart 9 looked oof

gt7 on base ps4(not even pr0 but base ps4 from 2013) looks visibly better:

We talking console that launched holidays 2013 so almost 12years ago, by the time switch2 will be avaiable it will be 11,5 or even 12 years actually

 

[Ristifer]

A wet fart reveal, but we'll see how it looks in April.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Pretty meh reveal.

 

[Anchovie123]

No innovations over the first Switch? I was atleast expecting a superior docking system mag safe style perhaps.

 

[Raphael]

What a terrible reveal. Boring as hell. Should have shown something to get people excited.

- Look guys switch 2 is a bit different and runs MK.

- Wow, amazing.

 

[Jeff Spicoli]

If that Nintendo direct is April, we are a long ass way off from release.

October or November

 

[DelireMan7]

No time now so what change exactly ? And games announced? (outside of any Mario game, no interest in them)

 

[ManaByte]

No "C" button.

 

[TheTony316]

That's it? Even the Pro announcement was more exciting.

 

[ReBurn]

What a fcking dumb way to announce a new console. Who the fck approved this?

That was me. Sorry.

 

[Emedan]

Switch 2 needs exclusive games to move. If Nintendo isn't confident enough in their product to wean themselves off the safety tit of Switch 1, they will own themselves.

They might feel that NS2 does not yet have a sufficient install base (none) to drop Kart on. They prefer to unleash Kart to a base of clients already prepared to buy it en masse. Their launch lineup better be fucking gold with everything else, if they do that.

Thing about MK is that it'll sell all through the lifespan of the console, they wouldn't worry about install base on release. It's MK9 anyone thinking otherwise is delusional.

[MayauMiao]

What is the deal with the C button?

 

[MrJangles]

Optical mouse confirmed?

Lo

 

[BlackTron]

Oh I know it will sell through the life of the console. So does Nintendo.

So?

 

[Gamerfan81]

New Switch and new RTX cards coming out. What an exciting year for gaming hardware.

Only console warriors are angry with these news.

 

[MrJangles]

Well that was shit. Clearly put out to put a halt to the hardware leaks.

April Direct is a pisstake. Unless Nintendo are going to pull a Sega/Saturn I'm guessing we won't see the S2 until Summer?

 

[MayauMiao]

What a terrible reveal. Boring as hell. Should have shown something to get people excited.

We're up to 8 page, and currently the Youtube video of Switch 2 have 256K likes over 1.6k dislikes.

World doesn't revolve around you.

 

[Woopah]

Direct in April huh...

Also, leak or not, this is probably the laziest new console reveal ever. I mean Jesus Christ.

How is it lazier than PS5 and Xbox Series?

 

[dorkimoe]

I’m overstimulated with all the details

 

[Emedan]

Oh I know it will sell through the life of the console. So does Nintendo.

So?

Sorry it was more a reply to the post you replied to, just enforcing your point.

 

[Kilau]

2017 Switch reveal redux

You want to be on that part of history?

I said it's gonna BE THE bomb, be the bomb!

 

[graywolf323]

welp I was thinking it’d release in March or April but if they’re not having the Direct until April 2nd, looks more like May/June for release?

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

 

[SegaSnatcher]

I'm surprised nobody is talking about the fact they named it Switch 2.

 

[Buggy Loop]

You see how much of the screen isnt being used?

Steam deck OLED & ROG Ally X

Seems on par

They do not put bezels like over a grand apple iPad. These things have to be a bit more rigorous, bezels on edge would be easy to fuck up the screen with a drop.

 

[BlackTron]

Hold on did you just graphically compare gt7 to mario kart?

I like a lot of your posts but respect level crashing

 

[whyman]

That's what I was wondering. Graphically it looks almost identical to MK8DX, but that looks like a new track?

Is this Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Deluxe? lol.

My guess is that it is not one of the exclusives. It is MK9 but what we are seeing is the Switch version with higher resolution and stable frame-rate. I think this is what we can expect.

 

[Sojiro]

I do like the look of the new console, that black with the red and blue under the analog sticks is really sexy. Very curious to see if the Joycons will act as mice, that would be really awesome. The big thing that is a bit of a bummer is that MK 9 (assuming that is what it is) doesn't really look too much different from 8, so it really could be a cross gen game. April is a hell of a fucking wait, but I am definitely excited to see more.

 

[clarky]

I'm surprised nobody is talking about the fact they named it Switch 2.

Can't believe they went with something a simple as switch 2.

Unsurprise yourself.

 

[Jeff Spicoli]

What a fcking dumb way to announce a new console. Who the fck approved this?

Yamauchi, Yokoi and Iwata

 

[BlackTron]

I'm surprised nobody is talking about the fact they named it Switch 2.

Everyone already knew. This was just an update!

 

[Evil Calvin]

I personally couldn't even tell if this was from some MK8 addon or the new MK and I'm dead serious, not joking

Yeah...didn't look like anything groundbreaking or new

 

[whyman]

Build quality looks improved.

I mean it’s a 3d render. Hard to say.

 

[gamer82]

When they say some switch games wont be compatible what possibly controllwise wouldnt work with this system it looks exactly the same . I guess its to make you buy the switch 2 version of same game or a hidden feature - Glasses free 3d screen is installed

 

[KungFucius]

Is that new Mario Kart? Looks pretty unremarkable just going by graphics. Looks like it could play on Switch 1, which it probably will

Very cool unveiling of the system, though

Fuck. I thought it was February

 

[Dr.Morris79]

What a terrible reveal. Boring as hell. Should have shown something to get people excited.

- Look guys switch 2 is a bit different and runs MK.

- Wow, amazing.

Needs more of this excite

 

[64gigabyteram]

Seems on par

so what, theyre supposed to be the industry leader... I want no bezels!!!!

 

[Kilau]

I'm surprised nobody is talking about the fact they named it Switch 2.

Should have called Switch 6 to fuck with Sony.
