      Don't know if the Nintendo Switch cartridges (technically they're Game Cards) are faster than discs, but they're not in the same level compared to how fast games load on the PS5, and they don't function the same way as cartridges worked in previous Nintendo consoles. In regards to the possible stick drifting problems, well that depends on the manufacturer, Nintendo gets it sticks from the same company that provides sticks for other consoles and even on bigger controller they began drifting the more people use them

    • @djjjjjd
      @djjjjjd 11 місяців тому +17

      I doubt joycons will be backwards compatible since the new console will have a different form factor. At best they might be backwards compatible wirelessly, but I wouldn't count on it. Actual controllers are better than joycons with or without the grip anyway, and decent ones aren't that expensive. Also, the switch has awful ergonomics in handheld, so I personally would prefer a more ergonomic redesign of the joycons over backwards compatibility.

      If they didn't have that stuff backwards compatible that'd be such a dealbreaker. Now that the Steam Deck is a thing and handheld PCs are an option, it's harder to compete without it. Previous handheld consoles could get away without it because they were the only game in town, but now they're not. And with handheld PCs already having a bigger library than the Switch thanks to the lack of proprietary hardware and a library of games that spans decades, the last thing the Switch 2 needs is being unable to handle something as basic as previous generation hardware.

    • @djjjjjd
      @djjjjjd 11 місяців тому +2

      Another thing that makes joycon backwards compatibility unlikely is the fact that the switch doesn't have analogue triggers, because I think I can speak for most people when I say I hope the next console does.

    People are already complaining that it might ‘only’ be PS4 graphics equivelant. Nevermind that most 1000 dollar PC handhelds still do not hit full current gen console visuals. Nintendo needs to sell this thing at console pricing while cramming as much as they can into it. It’s the same reason the OG Steam Deck had an LCD screen and Nintendo could do something similar (which would line up with the Deck’s PS4 Pro level graphics) at around 500 bucks. The Deck OLED model starts at almost 600 and that’s just too much, and we know Valve takes a loss on these as is which Nintendo has historically not wanted to do with their consoles the way XBox and Sony might. So to get that price point they need LCD. They can sell the OLED later as an ‘upgrade’. And they can get more hardware in it that isn’t the screen for the price point. It’s a handheld. People are being unrealistic in their list of demands for it and it just cannot meet them all and still be console pricing.

    • @chaikagaz

If nintendo were to make a mini pc like handheld it would make it easier for ppl who pirate to crack their games. Also no profit to be made when your biggest income is from sellin the games

    Let's keep in mind, that new LCD can be way way better than the 2017's OG Switchs LCD.
    Also it makes sense, they probably want to keep the initial release cheap to build a install base. And a simultaious release wouldn't make sense, since nintendo would probably have to design the internals of the systems in a significatly different way to include an OLED.

      It doesn't change Internals. The only issue with OLED is it consumes a little more power and it's a lot more expensive.
      The only reason not to have an OLED version at first is they need millions, they won't know which version is most important and it would affect supply chain, so it's better to optimize supply chain and cost issues in the first year until they get a picture of how much chance they can take and know they can afford to split production and set up a second supply chain. Nintendo isn't like sony where they are used to having 100s of products they bring together in their system.

      Scalpers have been doing that since Ebay was a thing. It's only been that period in late 2020 through between late 2022 and mid 2023 that it was a problem. Depending on what in the VG world you were looking for.
      PS5 scalper groups are almost gone now. So many were forced to sit on consoles for 1+ years, it does hurt their bottom line as they expected a certain window for a turn-around.
      It'll definitely hit for the first year, but it will die down. The biggest issue will be special edition consoles. Those get bought up before almost anyone even has a chance to pre-order one. I went to multiple sites the day the Tears of the Kingdom OLED was available for pre-order, and sold out everywhere. Everytime someone posted they restocked. Sold out again. Now it's overpriced for used (and on Amazon none of the sellers show pictures since they just list through the main portal of the original new model), which is super hit and miss on Ebay. Even Japanese versions of the console are overpriced for used, but not as bad as the US counterparts. Though it's not 500 anymore for used, but essentially hovering around original retail. So they want their money back for "renting" the console. Which is ridiculous. Why would you buy a console just to play for a bit, then resell in these numbers? It's a surprising number of them too.
      Anyway, so yeah, it will suck for year 1 unless you get lucky. So be prepared and be prepared to be beaten out by buy bots spamming the cart screen so often for the game they intentionally DoS normal users when trying to access a cart with the Switch 2. That I suspect will be the norm going forward for the PS5 Pro as well, at least for year 1. Then it will die down a bit, well, depending on how much stock they can produce to keep up with demand and shortages.
      So good luck fellow gamer, I toast you, and I hope you're able to get around the reseller buy spam bots, and their disgusting practices. Here's to hoping MAYBE, MAYBE Best Buy, Target, etc. actually adopt some AI smart tools designed to lock out any user that is using an obvious bot that constantly clicks various elements of the cart with what would obviously and should obviously be red flagged items that are likely to be targeted by reseller groups. So far, none of them care as they get their money, and we get to see those exorbitant reseller prices. I don't expect they will without literal government intervention (which is sad...government should never intervene in things like this).

I haven’t played handheld since I upgraded my TV.

    If it's going to be 8 inches then they need to bump up the resolution to 1080p. The Switch OLED's screen size is basically as big as you can get for a 720p screen before you start to be able to make out individual pixels.
    If this is true, though, then I'll be disappointed. A 720p, 6.5 inch screen is perfectly fine for a handheld, and targeting a lower resolution will only allow for better battery life and better performance. 1080p is honestly a bit excessive for a machine like this.

    The way I look at this is even if they release the first Switch 2 with LCD screen, it still possible for Nintendo to release a more premium version OLED screen during Switch 2's life cycle, another factor is the software line up, when you see first and third party games like : Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077, Final Fantasy VII remake, Tekken 8, Xenoblade Chronicles X remaster / X2 , the next Super Mario Odyssey, Dragon's Dogma 2, Monster Hunter Wilds, Red Dead Redemption 2, Granblue Fantasy Relink etc. all slate for release on the more graphically powerful Nintendo Switch 2 in the native form, not to mention all the possible improvement coming to the original Switch games, I think that will give the players a reason to be more forgiving when it comes to the LCD screen, that my take on it.

    0:04 I know the name of the next system is not the topic of this video, but personally I don’t think it will have “Switch” in its name. Of course, it’s gonna be a Switch pro, super Switch, and Switch two, but I don’t think Nintendo wants to take any chances this time to repeat the confusion that the Wii U’s name caused. And if using a LCD screen will help keep it most affordable for the masses, then that’s what Nintendo will do.

    I feel like they should do both things. Have a basic sku with an LCD, and a premium one with an OLED screen. Personally I don't play handheld, so I would probably go with the basic one if there is a big enough difference in price.
    To be honest the thing I would like more than an OLED screen is a fucking glass screen protector... that plastic crap gets scratched so easily, and even if I don't play handheld that much I like my stuff to look as mint as possible.

    I would prefer an LCD with well functioning low brightness "night" mode. Xbox has it figured out pretty well with its customization options.

    So basically people in the comments are saying Nintendo, it's okay, we don't want to use the better screen we've already had on a past system. Reminds me of "you will own nothing and be happy with it"

    Depends on the LCD technology used, ie qled which is LCD is like imitation oled lcd screen. I really hope they got a good LCD with vibrant colours and black blacks... but thats probably wishing for too much here. sigh

    I think they should both. Oled for the people who value that and a cheaper led for people who don't. Make the price difference to where they both profit equally. If its $100 more for Oled than so be it. I think k they will likely do what they did last time though. Make us double dip.

    There are only three things I want: 1) Backwards compatibility, 2) A decent hardware buff and 3) better battery. The screen type is the last thing on my mind.

    I didn't use the portability because you can't see anything anyway when outside.
    The screen brightness is not enough

  • @smidlee7747
    @smidlee7747 11 місяців тому

    The vast majority of TV sold are still LCD... the nicer ones are Qled but still lcd. The advantage QLED have over Oled .... about twice as cheap , all led are on equally so no worry about burn out and often they are brighter than OLED. I bought an OLED which I game on but I could have bought two Qled for the same price so question if it's worth it. It does look better but not twice the cost better.

    I have the launch switch won't mind the switch 2 having an lcd as long as it supports higher resolution and framerate, we have cell phones using the same chipset as the switch with 1440p and 120hz refresh rate some were even 4k60 back in 2017

    I don’t mind the LCD screen. Coming from someone who has several Oled screens through their house…sometimes all that blue light kills my eyes 😭
    The only thing I hope the new system brings is smooth consistent 60 fps gameplay and backwards compatibility. Would love to play Tears of the Kingdom in 60fps without having to bootleg it on PC. Or have Pokemon games actually run like they should lol
    Love Nintendo just want them to be a bit less behind the curb with the other consoles competitors with the hardware.

    • @NuiYabuko
      @NuiYabuko 11 місяців тому

      Hardware doesn't magically make all games run at 60fps. Perhaps be "a bit less behind the curb" about how hardware works first?

    • @datboymateo9852
      @datboymateo9852 11 місяців тому

      @@NuiYabuko obviously there’s more that goes into it than just the hardware. However if the console has more to offer in its specs…the more developers have to work their magic thus better games if the love is there. Nintendo has worked some magic the last few years with the limitations of the switch. Ready for the next phase.

  • @VictorRodriguez-ku9vw

    If they’re doing this for a cheaper price then they should also release a “pro” model that features the oled screen at a price of $50-$100 more.

    I dont want to defend changing OLED to LCD but there are some really good LCD panels that can be pretty close to OLED quality without the issues of the OLED aka burn in. Still, I dont think Nintendo would do it for the good reason though more for resale the OLED later than the road 😅

  • @tanzolo4487
    @tanzolo4487 11 місяців тому

    400 seems reasonable. LCD is fine. We’ll probably get games like Zelda totk run at 60 fps at 1440p resolution docked. And 1080p Handheld. I mean. If that be the case I’m not complaining at all. Nintendo first party games are always highly stylised as is. No matter how “powerful” the system is going to be, Nintendo will always optimise their games and make them look clean and crisp. It’s one of the few companies in the world I still trust to deliver a consumer friendly, complete and quality product. Wich, in 2024 says a lot.

    The LCD screen doesn't have bright colorful colors but it's going to be 4K not 1080p so just calm down ok it's not going to be as bad as you think it's going to be

    If they wanna keep the same price level but have bigger memory, etc LCD instead of OLED is the quickest and most direct way to do it.

    @supersomethinstudio 11 місяців тому +2

    With a side by side comparison of oled to lcd, the oled... Kinda just seemed like it could get brighter? I honestly didn't notice an incredible difference besides the one main thing people point out with the darker blacks.

    • @the_pentah00k58
      @the_pentah00k58 11 місяців тому +2

      Oled pixels are independent, and if they are supposed to show something black they literally just turn off.
      I've read that due to this they also are more energy efficient which is a nice for a portable system, I've always kept my handhelds with minumum brightness to conserve as much battery as possible

  • @SolarRanger_
    @SolarRanger_ 11 місяців тому

    It’s wild that they’re going with LCD but I understand why, they’ll get more sales with that lower price point but they should at least have an option to buy the OLED next gen switch and pay that extra.

  • @simhthmss
    @simhthmss 11 місяців тому

    I don't see them not selling an oled model later on as well. I have a Switch oled, the screen looks niiiice. It'd be cool if it could dock on the switch 1 dock and use old controllers and they sold just the unit alone.

  • @fernandogodinez661
    @fernandogodinez661 11 місяців тому

    I would love for Nintendo to also have an OLED and double the memory console option on release day but then I think it would be a bad decision and would disappoint so many people who can't get that upgraded version. Imagine you are those type of people that want to have the best experience and the only console available at release day is the inferior one, it would have a big effect on the user, especially if you're an enthusiast, it would be so frustrating. I think the best choice is the same console for everybody just two color options like when the first Switch came out. Because I know for sure its gonna be sold out for a while.

  • @Evilpricetag
    @Evilpricetag 11 місяців тому

    There's also a decent slice of players who upgraded to the OLED a profit Nintendo may not have seen otherwise, along with anyone who maybe didn't care about OLED, but still got the dock fire the direct connection to the internet.
    It wouldn't shock me if we get an OLED revision for Switch 2.
