Nintendo is covering themselves with things like Labo not being compatible on Switch 2.
They openly stated that months ago in November. That asterisk is likely the dumb addons nobody uses, like Lab.
literally all I wanted to know for the last year.
My exact reaction as well. How much you wanna bet there's a new lawsuit over how wobbly these can get with kid abuse? Drift was child's play.
I'm hoping they don't call it MK9. 7 & 8 made sense. 7 introduced the glider, which sorta looks like a 7. 8 was angled and sorta resembled the anti-grav thing on the bottom of the karts. Also a new item. I can't think of anything that they would add that would slightly resemble a 9.
If Big N was smart, they'd pull a Microsoft and make the current Switch controllers be forward compatible with the new system. Detached only, obviously.
They didn’t call out physical and digital previously.
I'd see it as probably prop the tablet up on the table and use the joy-cons detached.
I thought I read somewhere (long time ago) that switch 1 joy-cons and accessories would work on the switch 2. I would think you could use Ring Fit as normal with the older joy-cons. But if someone were to buy it after they got the Switch 2 then it wouldn't work and they'd need to buy older joy-cons.
I wouldnt mind paying another dollar a year to be able to play (and finish this time) Skies of Arcadia.I honestly think we get another tier for next wave of systems that may be added (GameCube, Dreamcast etc…)

up an expensive machine. Speakers on the bottom, which could be bad or good depending on how much you rest it on something if you're in handheld mode.All kinds of stuff. You wouldn’t see a 7 and immediately think glider. We could fly around with balloons 9 now.
Yea, this is the first Switch hardware release in a long time that doesn't have a new gimmick that defines the system (no, the mouse doesn't count, you can use a mouse on the PS5/XS systems). It's just bigger and better than the last one.It seemed like a slightly bigger Switch. Not much is changing outside of games looking a bit better and two back buttons right by the triggers. It still doesn't have triggers from what that CG flyby camera showed and there's still no d-pad. They're keeping the power button on the left side to keep me confused when switching back and forth from Steam Deck to Switch.
I guess the plastic protectors that you used once for the top of the joy-cons are built on, which is a much smarter way to do it. It seems like it'll be a little bit harder to damage the way the joy-cons clip or snap into the tablet itself, but I'm sure it'll still be doable for the right kids to
Total guess here, but I think it basically comes down to cost. The front part of the dock is basically a screen protector (and not a very good one as it doesn't entirely cover the screen) while the back part has the circuit boards the dock needs. It could be taller and cover the whole system, but then more material would be used, thereby increasing the cost of the dock. And with Nintendo not subsidizing the console at all, they want to keep the cost as low as possible. It might only cost a few pennies more to make the dock cover everything, but that cost ads up fast!
We can dream.
1-2 Switch 2. I’m enjoying the thought of a family with TV dinner trays on their laps to race their mice.
I think 3 tiers is too confusing. Bump up the high tier to include other systems and folks will want to upgrade to Switch 2 to play games they have access to but can’t play.I honestly think we get another tier for next wave of systems that may be added (GameCube, Dreamcast etc…)
