Not particularly at this point. Many issues and improvements were directed towards particular teams, e.g. URP, Netcode etc. Lots of validation went into Switch 2 support also, performance and capability.

I have similar thoughts. I do think something fishy is going on, and don't believe the overreaction I am seeing, it feels so over the top and manufactured almost.

Anyway, hardware / consoles need to evolve. And Nintendo are known for a hit and a miss. The Switch 2 will miss and not hit the heights of the Switch.

End of thread.

What do you think?

Switch 1 is a significant opportunity due to unit sales. Developers cannot ignore it even when the Switch 2 is available.

I understand the Switch is a pain to develop and port games to, but that hasn't stopped most, and the Switch 2 may well help in this aspect for developers at least.

You'll see many Switch 1 games ported to Switch 2, which won't drive sales IMO.

More power and graphics isn't everything to a consumer. Fun wins out over everything else.

I love my Switch for this reason. Although, I do appreciate the graphical elements in most games.

Pricing will be crucial, and I imagine it'll come close to £499 which will be too much for many in a tough cost of living period.

The Switch 2 could have been the Switch 1 Pro, especially as it is basically the same with its design.

Nintendo are known for more wild innovation, Switch 2 doesn't add any innovation in that sense.

Okay, here is why I think so…

Prediction: Switch 2 to flop!

Heard it here first.

No biting, please. Much love 🙏🏻
