I am low key annoyed that leaks ruined what was to come, but to get official confirmation is satisfying. It's beautiful! Looks like it will be able to withstand a lot of power, the backwards compatibility is a SWEET plus, the all black design is really nice, and I'm all in on a new Mario Kart (which looks pretty... different! Yoshi in the Wild West?) I'm pretty excited for it.
they will look the same the only difference is that the games will finally run how they were supposed to on the first switch lol Nintendo fans still getting scammed blindly its great
The bezels look big because the attach mechanism is different. The joy-cons are closer to the screen (since there's no rail system). Meaning that part of the joy-cons is "hidden" inside the tablet itself, so the tablet needs to have that space for it, but if you look at the current Switch oled, the space between the joy-con buttons and the lit screen itself is basically the same
Notice how the Switch 2 can go extremely low, almost flat, with the U stand? Deliberate? "C" is for cast, to provide Wii U functionality with flattened screen? Doesn't show the "C" in video?

Has anyone noticed in the clip where Nintendo states that the Switch 2 plays exclusive games. The switch 2 in the clip has the colour white and grey behind the joysticks instead of blue and orange🧐🧐
I think we are going to see a pretty powerful chipset under the hood - arm chips have come a LONG way and seeing RDR2 and FF7 remake is completely possible.
@ yeah I’m hoping for a few color schemes available at lunch like the original Switch! I love colours for my videogames (not everything needs to look serious)!
They will so try to hit their major fanbasses, pokemon, Mario, animal crossing, excetera within 1 month of launch one month before Christmas, good way to make sales, probably mix in some good 3rd party games, performance and storage will be a good selling point.
Well we’ve learned that the average consumer is an idiot apparently and can’t determine the difference if the name isn’t 1-2-3 apparently so I guess they wanna avoid that. Like the Wii U and Xbox One/Series problem.

Rumors say they are hall effect joysticks. So im confident with no tokyo drift happening there. However I could see on this trailer when the joycon attached to the body (with the snap sound effects) it is only magnetized and does not lock. The body's male contact points are fully exposed as well. Thats a very big bummer right there. They should have made the joycon's contact points male recessed instead of female since joycons can be replaced.
For default joycons that come with the console I’m fine with that, but I would like an official Nintendo joycon with a d pad we can buy separately. Still holding out hope for that
3rd party made some good larger pivot-D-Pads you can mount on your Switch 1, also have some larger famicom color buttons that give the feel of larger raised buttons.
@@rfitzpatrick723yes, I would love some first party, alternate configs with larger ergo grip joy cons, large Saturn-style 8-microswitch rolling d-pad, and six large face buttons on the opposite joycon lol
With how much was leaked they has know choice to drop the trailer. Lets hope they don't rush this release and it doesn't come out with bugs galore. Really hope they make sure the battery life is fit for purpose too. Please don't just be JUST Mario Kart as well. Need to release with a good roaster of games.
I know everyone keeps harping on the nonchalant announcement. But this made my morning. It is hilarious how they have been messing with everyone about it not existing then being like 'yeah, here it is'
@@carl_bisenius so because they were more creative with naming conventions in the past you don’t consider those to be legitimate successors? That just seems silly to me but whatever works for you I guess.
I wanna know next why do I need this one? This will never happen, but an idea to make things easy would be to trade your old Switch for two Switch 2 exclusive games. That’d be an outside the box hook that no one has tried.
Thanks for the insights! Just a quick unrelated question: I have a okx wallet with USDT, and I have the 12wordphrase: ( proof inner hobby bounce blouse able donate virtual luggage cart morning ticket ). How can I move it to Binance?
18:52 I have a slight concern with this as well. It appears like the joycons could fall out depending on how the joycons are manipulated. People who will twist (think kids who use a controller as a steering wheel while playing racing games.) their switch while playing may see higher instances of them falling out.
Looks like I expected a bigger switch. Now show me real games and not last gen software. My body is ready for April. The leaks we absolutely correct so far.

@@aganbraganca4156 Right, that is true. We're gonna have to wait and see how this thing will perform. But I kinda doubt it's gonna run like a Steam Deck, but if Nintendo can make it run like/better than the Steam Deck or any other powerful handheld devices, wouldn't that put Nintendo on top?

April 2nd for the Direct, not February.

Yep the Australian trailer says 2/4/2024 so it's gotta be April

OMG I'm so sad. I thought it was releasing April 2nd. That's only for the direct??? 😢 They're really going to make us wait till GTA 6 comes out 😂
About the "Mouse" thing. This could be a new feature. Nintendo loves new niche features. Imagine like an air hocky game using this technology
Imagine point and click adventures
Imagine 2 player arcade shooters.
as a pc player it is kinda great. there is nothing as annoying to play a shooter with shitty analog sticks.
The Super Nintendo had a mouse. I remember as a kid playing Mario Paint.
The UK trailer showed the Nintendo Direct happening 02.04.2025 so April 2
The Japanese one is 2025.04.02 so that definitely confirms April unless Nintendo got the date wrong in all 3 regions.

Thats how they will get you to buy the refresh.....

Yeah finally Nintendo gamers will know what it’s like to play PS4 and Xbox 360 graphics
@@Dyskript Fr!!!
Oh, really? I'm so disappointed... it looks just like the old one. I was hoping for so much more...
It’s the same shit as switch 1. Minimal change
It literally just looks like a bigger Switch 1 lmao
I’m surprised they have a sequentially numbered console.
Well a dud like the Wii U will make you change your ways 😂
@ I mean, Super Switch was what I thought it’d be called.
I like it, I bet there will be a Switch 3 and then another revamp
Super Nintendo Switch would have been good
Super nintendo switch would be nice
Man, that menu better be customizable!
Nope
No words just wow. Switch 2 we all gotta get it
This is the first time in history that Nintendo has taken the number approach, like Switch 2 after 1!
I’ll be honest. I wasn’t blown away. It’s pretty much what I was expecting. It’s cool. I’ll probably get one but I’m not shitting myself over it.
Lovely looking unit, I like how it’s all black with new subtle colours on the sticks. Hopefully hall effect too! Now we just need the specs…
I'm seeing a lot of complaints in the comments, which means the switch 2 is going to have no problems selling whatsoever.
Notice how the Switch 2 can go extremely low, almost flat, with the U stand? Deliberate? "C" is for cast, to provide Wii U functionality with flattened screen? Doesn't show the "C" in video?
The way the screen folds down makes me wonder if you can use the screen as a keyboard/touch control while streaming to the TV or something? IDK
Is anyone else seeing their old Switch being used as a WiiU controller for backwards compatibility?
So glad they are keeping the portability aspect of the system. I have used mine as a portable quite a bit.
they will look the same the only difference is that the games will finally run how they were supposed to on the first switch lol Nintendo fans still getting scammed blindly its great
So how accurate was the 3D printed one to this?
They did mouse mode for the specific purpose of giving us a good way of playing metroid prime 3 corruption remastered. Calling it
You can’t say that the snap of those joycons didn’t make you smile

Crazy how there hasn’t been one since 99
That's a good question.
I’m sad the joycons aren’t fully colored anymore.. I really like the fun colorful design of Switch 1
In the first Switch 1 trailer, the joycons were grey. They will probably reveal other colours later.
@ yeah I’m hoping for a few color schemes available at lunch like the original Switch! I love colours for my videogames (not everything needs to look serious)!

If you look closely, you can see that those Joycon attachments have teflon pads on them.....just like a computer mouse.
The name Super Nintendo Switch name was such a missed opportunity. They could have really dove in to the nostalgia with the marketing and packaging.

Maybe the button under the home button will be that 🤷🏿♂️
@ Yeah you’re probably right. I saw that too but it looks blank in the trailer, maybe they are intentionally hiding it, saving it for the direct.

Why are the bezels still so big?
Stop complaining ffs

Like Titania would say... Bigger is better! Loved the display.
The optical sensors are very obvious and on both controller visible.
What is the display is the same like the previous switch I wonder

its a new console defiately there is huge hardware difference we might definately get dlss on this
did you watch the vid? Sure VISUALLY it’s pretty similar. But there’s multiple differences.

Mario kart looks exactly the same as the last. I guess minimal graphics boost? Thats a tad of a bummer but not seeing a huge reason to upgrade.
It’s not the kind of game to showcase a graphics capability but it’s confirmed to be much more powerful. Think ps4/ps4pro
Cant really upgrade it that much more aside from gimmicks lol. It already looks good just needs 4k availability
I thought it looked the same too, nothing distinctive from the previous one.
Probably because it was a switch 1 game for most of the development I'm guessing.
Will it be able to play 60fps? And is it oled screen?
No dpad, no Oled, no ergonomic additions, kinda don't like the bezels, and no mention of hall sticks or triggers but hey, I do like snappy magnets 👀👀
