The successor to the Nintendo Switch, dubbed Switch 2, is rumored to be revealed soon. Plans for backward compatibility and a possible gimmick have been detailed.
Nate the Hate and John Linneman discuss the reveal and launch window for the Nintendo Switch 2. Nate hints at a reveal in March 2024, with a potential launch in November 2024.
The year ahead will be slower for Nintendo Switch releases as Nintendo gears up for its next console. However, there will still be announcements through Nintendo Directs or similar channels.
John anticipates the Switch 2 to be larger than the original, aligning with rumors of a larger screen implying a bigger chip. Nate suggests the Switch 2 might forgo JoyCons, likening it to a ROG Ally.
Both Nate and John expect backward compatibility on the Switch 2, but express concerns over the state of the eShop and its potential overhaul. They doubt significant performance boosts for backward compatible games, predicting minor enhancements at best.
Nate expects developers will opt to re-release games with updates rather than providing patches to offset costs. John reflects on the Switch Pro rumors, believing there was too much buzz for it to be baseless, but suspects Nintendo shifted gears to ensure a successful launch.
