“And won’t natively run switch games. Players will have the opportunity to purchase their favorite titles in our new eshop available exclusively on our new console” - Nintendo probably

Thank you for qualifying your source.
If they do that I’ll just stay on the Switch.
So you’re saying you wont switch to the switch two?
No, because when you think about it, how much Switch could the Switch 2 switch if the Switch 2 could switch Switch?
You think they’d call it the Switch 2? No, it’ll be way more vague about being a successor vs an upgraded console. New Switch, SwitchU, 3Dwitch, Switch Swatch, Sandwitch, SwitchPlus, Switch Yellow, Switch One. I’d bet on any of those.
Sandwitch
Ok, that one got me
I mean Nintendo has been pretty good with backwards compatibility so I’m hopeful they will do that again. That will be the only thing that could push me towards buying a new nintendo console atm. I would sell my switch lite to add to my new switch fund lol
If not, I will just stick to my Steam Deck and PC
Super Nintendo Switch
People keep saying this but this kind of naming convention contributed to the confusion around the Wii U and its poor sales
No, the Wii U’s issue is the name is nonsensical. What the fuck does the U mean? It sounds like an add-on or health title.
No one had an issue with identifying the Super Nintendo Entertainment System as a successor to the Nintendo Entertainment System, or the Super Famicom as the successor to the Famicom.
Also, for some reason they often only showed the new gamepad when talking about it.
Just don’t name it the “Switch-U”
I’m hoping it’s just a switch thst can do 4k at 60fps and the joycons are better.
PS5 can’t even consistently give 4k60 on all titles. A tablet with a way lower power draw will not be able to do this for but a bare minimum of titles.
Nintendo games tend to be less demanding. They’re built for the platform whereas PS5 is running PC ports generally.
The same can be said for Switch bs steam deck. Steam Deck can’t reliably play 1080p60 for every game but the switch can.
It’s not that unrealistic if the dock has a GPU in it. Something they should have done with the og switch.
I don’t think Nintendo has really cared much about graphics since the gamecube era. They realized that people buy their consoles for the games not the graphics
I doubt they would make the console significantly more expensive by adding a GPU that most people wouldn’t really care much about
It looks fake as fuck

There’s no way Nintendo abandons the removable joycons. They’re such an important part of the switch experience.
Literally all Nintendo needs to do is release essentially the same hardware format with increased computing power, better screen, and a bit more “robustness” in the hardware (the OG feels plasticy and flexes quite a lot).
They’d sell it probably as much as the original. Because BOTW and TOTK deserve higher graphical output.
The Switch Lite doesn’t have removable controllers. So yes way they already did.
There’s no way Nintendo abandons the removable joycons.
Nintendo abandoned the dual screen, and that was an incredible feature, I totally see them abandoning removable controllers
They do deserve higher graphical output. That’s why you should play them on a steam deck or rog ally.
TotK barely works on a Steam Deck, why do people say this?
It’s still better than the switch, and it’s getting better.
Can you explain how it’s better on the Deck than the Switch?
