I wonder why they don't just use a proper D-Pad.

Because of the joycon design. Second player needs those 4 buttons too

Due to coop play by sharing a joycon.

Each JoyCon has to work as separate controllers for multiplayer.

It is strange that they’ve never made different optional models for people to buy though.

nothing "official"

They could use the d-pad as buttons probably much more successfully than the buttons are used as a d-pad though. Probably just a symmetry thing. Sadly.

Oh well, learned to deal with shitty d-pad designs since Sega left the hardware business anyway (and their last effort was a miss too but at least they recognize Saturn d-pad's worth and made other console/USB versions etc.).

 

[rofif]

Leaks are now marketing.
Look at nvidia. Faked higher prices and now everyone is happy.
Switch 2 doesn’t look very exciting does it ?

 

[ReyBrujo]

But you could press two different directions like left and right at the same time with one joycon and not with the other.

 

[Kilau]

I feel like I will be playing games on this thing and Nintendo still won't have revealed it.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Probably renders Nintendo provided to partners ahead of the launch. Either way, I definitely looks legit system looks great

 

[Unknown?]

Hey, they missed the 2!

No 2, this will be called Nintendo Switch. You thought Wii U confused people? Nintendo: hold our beer!

 

[Alexios]

Oh... Right. I missed that, lol. Didn't think anyone would play fighting games like that which are more likely to need a combination like B + X or A + Y but I suppose they do.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

I get that being bigger means a better screen, bigger more comfortable joycon, and more space inside to pack components. I still wish it was smaller, not bigger. The closer we get to a Switch Lite with TV out, the happier I'll be.

They will probably release a smaller sku also.

 

[Putonahappyface]

I hate the joy con controller, so ill buy a switch pro controller. This handheld will be permanently docked!

 

[V1LÆM]

that's why it says "official"

 

[hemo memo]

Can they just stop with the two colours nonsense?

Why? It encourages consumers to mix and match, which increases Joy-Con sales.

Technically a dpad is 4 buttons

 

[GoldenEye98]

As long as there is physical games, that's all I care about.

I'm curious how they manage physical games with Switch 2. Nintendo/game publishers ain't taking the financial hit of 64GB cartridges imo...they don't even want to do it with 32GB cartridges on Switch OG. The consumer will either through higher prices or will still have to download a lot of the game regardless.

 

[Cakeboxer]

Give me a cheaper dockingstation only version without screen please.

 

[EMR]

This will be tough after using OLED for 2,5 years.

 

[RCU005]

If these turn out to be real as they are, it would be a huge mistake not to include the big number 2 to differentiate it.

People will definitely think it’s just another special edition or revision, not a new console.

I’m just waiting for the unboxing any time now. At this rate, this has to happen before the announcement.

 

[Trilobit]

Old leak from weeks ago =

[Astray]

A remarkably safe and boring device, same as the offerings from Sony and Xbox this gen.

[Calverz]

 

[Cakeboxer]

Yeah funny Gif, but i don't like playing those games on small screens. So it's a waste for me. They already did the oposite with the Switch Lite, so why not docking only?

You are absolutely right... I need coffee...

[TheKingOfSheep]

I would like to put in my pre-order disposit now. (I assume there will be games for this thing, too, right?)

Without physical games I wouldn't touch the switch 2 or any other console for that matter with my dead mothers decaying arm!

 

[Dr.brain64]

still no dpad?

 

[HYDE]

I want to see the dock, the game cases (which color will they use?), and the new official pro controller. Also launch games would be nice…Super Mario Galaxy 3!!!

 

[Tarin02543]

Just a fake render well made, no script on the LS and RS button nor the volume controls

 

[Markio128]

I just checked my heart rate and it went down.

 

[GoldenEye98]

Not saying there won't be physical games...just that I'm skeptical 64GB cartridges will be used. There are only a handful of games on Switch OG that even use a 32Gb cartridge.

This is mostly due to aversion to the costs eating in to profit margins. That aversion ain't going to go away with Switch 2...so it will be interesting what happens when you have PS4 era ports.

Could be downloading a lot of the game regardless...

 

[Robb]

At least the Pro Controller has a proper D-pad.

Yeah, although I’m not a fan of it tbh. It’s too mushy and I tend to get the wrong input a lot of times when I use it.. I’m hoping they change it/improve it for the Switch 2 Pro Controllers.

 

[ArtHands]

It's crazy they can squeeze DLSS into such small form factor.

 

[Deerock71]

THIS IS IT, physical proponents (such as myself). Sony and Microsoft are pushing their customers further and further away from physical. If this is physical (AND backwards compatible with Switch software), this will be the hill we likely die on.

 

[spons]

With a screen that size it must be 1080p right? Native or DLSS.

It is? Backwards compatibility is about the only thing Nintendo did confirm months ago.

 

[LordOcidax]

Looks amazing

That’s what the rumor mill suggests.

 

[AtomicStarving]

I have one of these at home

 

[apple_of_enlightenment]

I remember the days when fakes would bring something interesting to the mix.

 

[AJUMP23]

IT looks good. Least exciting new Nintendo but still a great refresh.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

They let their balls grow blue so hard, they missed the controlled release. Now everythings leaking. What a mess
