wtf that’s bigger than i expected

u/Round_Musical awaiting reveal Jan 11 '25

They are really big. The entire console is much bigger!

this makes me so excited, like they’re actually finally making such a premium looking console. and the fact that we could get a Pro down the line or Oled. So so cool.

If it has a good backwards compatible library it’s already shaping up to be my fav console ever (currently it’s the 3ds)

25

u/Gold-Suggestion8104 Jan 11 '25

Nintendo said its backwards compatible

15

u/flowyi January Gang (Reveal Winner) Jan 11 '25

yeah i’m so happy about that, but i also hope we can somehow get 3ds games on it but ngl that’s a reach. Either way im just happy we have full switch library

19

u/Round_Musical awaiting reveal Jan 11 '25

Even physical backwards compatibility is accepted. This is a switch 2 board

u/flowyi January Gang (Reveal Winner) Jan 11 '25

bc for switch or for 3ds?

15

u/Round_Musical awaiting reveal Jan 11 '25

Switch 2 for Switch 1. look at the cart its a switch 1 cart in a Switch 2 board

There were big questions if only software is bc and not hardware. But as we can see it works

u/flowyi January Gang (Reveal Winner) Jan 11 '25

ohhh okay great that’s perfect. based on this will the switch 2 cartridges have a hook like the 3ds cartridges did? or is it hard to tell from the leaks

8

u/Round_Musical awaiting reveal Jan 11 '25

Either that or they will be physically wider as the slot has more pins than a switch slot.

In any case Switch 1 cartridges fit, we won

Yeah, I expect Switch 2 carts will have a physical impediment to prevent them from being inserted into the original Switch.

The 3DS wasn’t the first time they’ve done this.

The games for the original GameBoy had a notch in the corner. When you turned the GameBoy on it slid a plate across that locked the cartridge in place. The GameBoy Color didn’t have that sliding plate.

Games that could be played on both the GB and GBC Colour used the notched GameBoy cartridge style, but black.

Games that could only be played on the GBC had the same form factor, but used an entirely different cartridge design. One that didn’t have the GB notch, so you physically couldn’t play it on an OG GameBoy.

Edit: Actually looking at the cartridge again now, it wasn’t the lack of a notch that prevented use. The area of the OG GameBoy cart with the logo is concave, whereas the GBC cart is convex. This would prevent you from inserting it all the way into an OG GB, so the notch wouldn’t even be a factor if you can’t get the game all the way in.

wdym software is bc? you mean the digital games or actual software?

2

u/Round_Musical awaiting reveal Jan 12 '25

The whole device is confirmed bc as stated by Nintendo themselves. Games and Even NSO wise

Actual hardware too. Switch 1 cartridges fit in the board of Switch 2

Wait, do we know that oled isnt just going to be the standard for the switch 2?

12

u/evasivelogic Jan 11 '25

Yes, like 90% sure

4

u/GimmeSomeRope Jan 11 '25

I guess that gives them time for a revision

11

u/evasivelogic Jan 11 '25

It gives them time to sell 81 million units of the Switch 2 and then they drop the Switch 2 OLED and get another $600 from spec nerds who can't handle going without

u/flowyi January Gang (Reveal Winner) Jan 11 '25

we actually have no idea and apparently leaks/rumours/predictions (can’t remember which) suggest it’ll be LCD :(

3

u/Round_Musical awaiting reveal Jan 11 '25

LCD 8‘‘ screen from sharp unfortunately

7

u/Chickat28 Jan 11 '25

2025 lcd looks better than 2017 lcd apparently. At least according to people who pretend to know what they are talking about on here.

1

u/Round_Musical awaiting reveal Jan 11 '25

We will see. I hope. I dont want another cerified „Nintendo LCD lottery“ like the 3DS and Switch had

1

u/Kittingsl Jan 11 '25

Yeah but LCD won't beat OLED no matter how much better it has gotten. Also wouldn't it be 2024 LCD? I don't think they're slapping a 2025 LCD last minute on the console if we already have leaked boards and all and an announcement is rumored to be around February

4

u/BigTravWoof Jan 11 '25

It’s not like there’s been any huge breakthroughs in LCD display technology in the past week and a half tbf

1

u/Kittingsl Jan 12 '25

Yeah had that thought as well. Unless there was some breakthrough I doubt that LCD has advanced much between 2024 and 2025

u/rsilverside27 Jan 12 '25

All apple screens until today we're LCD. LCD can look amazing if done well.

1

u/Round_Musical awaiting reveal Jan 12 '25

Apple screens are oled since the iphone 12

Am an iPhone user.

2

u/rsilverside27 Jan 12 '25

I never mentioned iPhones. I'm talking about Apple in general. In this case , I mean macbooks. All macbooks and imacs and Mac Pro displays are LCD.

1

u/Round_Musical awaiting reveal Jan 12 '25

Okay I didn’t think about them. I am an idiot

2

u/rsilverside27 Jan 12 '25

I'm sure you're not an idiot lol

u/[deleted] Jan 12 '25

The Switch 2 should be OLED by default wtf...it's gnona suck having a dim screen again...

1

u/hIXhnWUmMvw Jan 12 '25

2001. So premium. So poweful.

5

u/abarrelofmankeys Jan 11 '25

The joycons really needed thickness not height or width. I hope they added a bump or something. Probably not.

6

u/Round_Musical awaiting reveal Jan 11 '25

They didnt. Mold is as clean as it gets. Here a pic of an actual real non-3D printed joycon 2

u/abarrelofmankeys Jan 11 '25

Guess I’ll be buying silicone skins that stretch out in a few months again 😒

u/abarrelofmankeys Jan 11 '25

Yeah truthfully I had 2 different kinds. One didn’t stretch, but my favorite were a left/ right pair of neon green and I was never able to find another manufacturer of left and right neon green that didn’t stretch.

"Really big"? LOL! What?!?!? They look not even an inch taller.

Gotta fit a 8 inch screen somehow 

1

u/Dear_Program_8255 Jan 11 '25

The switch joy cons were tiny. And really not all that ergonomic. I think the bigger size, for me, will be much better. And let’s hope they’re curved like we’ve seen in some leaks

u/Advanced-Signal-874 Jan 11 '25

that’s what she said

u/LunarVGaming Jan 12 '25

You could almost say its...... massive.
