Nintendo Switch 2

Do you plan on getting one?

 

[Schneewittchen37]

Not me, but DS said he was going to start saving up for one.

Depends entirely on the games. I am not interested in a new Mario Kart but will be patient and see what else will be released with the console. I do like that the system is backwards compatible with the majority of original Switch games (I'm betting stuff like Labo and Ring Fit Adventure will be excluded).

Almost certainly - I love Nintendo games! I ahve every one of their consoles so far, so I see no reason why I would skip Switch 2.

Yeah, and those will only be excluded because of the new joy-con form factor. Actually, I would bet that G1 Joycons will be compatible, but only for playing Switch 1 games, and, of course, they won't be attachable to the system.

I'll probably just continue to emulate.

Wait, what? How did I miss this? If they have new Mario Kart with new tracks definitely! We play Mario Kart as a family.

It was just announced yesterday, though with very few details. They were trying to get out from behind the leaks. The trailer does show a new, untitled Mario Kart game.

Yes, and I can't wait! I love my Switch, and I'm excited for the updates/upgrade and hopeful for some new games!

A good rule of thumb would be, if it can't be played on a Switch Lite (ex. Labo and Ring Fit), it won't be playable on the Switch 2. Depending on the controllers, stuff like 1-2-Switch could be excluded too. Guaranteed every first party title will work though.

I’m certainly interested in getting it may just not be an early adopter like I was for the first Switch. First one launched at $299.99, I’d expect this one to at least start at $349.99 to $399.99 at least in the U.S.

Don’t see Nintendo wanting to go over $400 USD.

Triggered? I played Contra recently! Time was, that was the only way I could beat the game, but actually, while I entered the code, I found that I actually wouldn't have needed it. I am playing the new Contra (Operation Galuga) currently.

Contra brings back a LOT of core memories lol

I just hope it doesn't go the way of the WiiU… people saw it as an "update" console rather than a console in its own right and it tanked. Pity… I really liked the WiiU!

Yeah, but Wii U's problem was that nobody was quite sure what it was. It could have just been an add-on, like Wii Fit. The average person doesn't really pay that much attention. Switch is mega-popular, and the 2 makes it pretty clear.

The potential optical sensor being added to the new Joy-Cons so you can potentially operate them like a computer mouse is very Nintendo.

I bet there will be some kind to shell attachment too to give it a better grip/feel.

 

[E&Cmom]

I myself no but as my husband is a Nintendo guy I am sure once will be in our house shortly after released. We have had all the other consoles.

Well, June 5th is the release date but no pricing information shared by Nintendo directly as of this posting.
