So Nintendo certainly are making some choices on the Switch 2 aren't they...
@FediThing@chinwag.orgAs the Switch 2 is substantially bigger than the Switch, perhaps that opens up a clearer niche for a Switch 2 Lite?
The original Switch Lite didn't feel like it had as much reason to exist, its size was very similar and it couldn't connect to a big screen, it was only really a way of getting a cheaper Switch
But alongside the Switch 2, it would make total sense to also offer something a lot smaller... maybe a clamshell that actually fits in your pocket?

As a lifelong #Nintendo enthusiast since the NES, I have never been less enthusiastic about any new platform than the #Switch2. Everything is too expensive and on top of that they're nickel-and-diming every single thing.
($80 for Mario Kart? A surcharge to play older games? An entire button that stops working if you stop paying your annual subscription? They're out of their damn minds.)
I love my #Switch, but I do not plan to upgrade to this nonsense.
I quickly wrote some thoughts about yesterdays' #Switch 2 announcement, including a few things not included in the presentation. Especially the price and physical / digital split for game cartridges.
So the Switch 2 got announced in a Nintendo Direct…
sethmlarson.devLaunching June 5, the Nintendo Switch 2 will cost you ¥49,980 — but if you want to play in a language other than Japanese, expect to pay ¥20,000 more. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2025/04/03/digital/byford-life-nintendo-switch-2-direct-release-date/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #digital #nintendo #switch2 #zelda #mario #videogames
The gaming giant's newest console will retail for ¥49,980…
The Japan Times#Nintendo charging for the #Switch2 Welcome Tour “game” & for the next gen updates to games you’ve already bought seems outrageously grabby even for the way the gaming industry is these days.
Makes the fact that they haven’t announced the price for the console even more ominous.
I don’t feel any need to replace my Switch (& can’t afford it to, although the release date is very close to my birthday) but I suspect if I had been planning to upgrade, my purse would have been in for a nasty shock
@FediThing@chinwag.orgNintendo are just weird, they've made an interactive manual to show you how the Switch 2 works but it will be a paid title, it won't come with the console.
A paid manual? Who thought this was a good idea? 
EDIT: Okay, looks like it will have at least some minigames but the screenshots so far look awfully simplistic: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2025/04/nintendo-expects-you-to-pay-for-its-switch-2-welcome-tour-user-guide

@FediThing@chinwag.orgNintendo is going to show off mouse controls on Switch 2 with a game about wheelchair sport! 
The two mouse controllers operate each wheel independently.

In releasing what seems to be little more than an improved version of its popular Switch console, is Nintendo repeating a mistake from its recent past? https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2025/02/06/digital/switch-2-nintendo-launch-analysis/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #digital #nintendo #switch2 #videogames

The Japan Times"Certain Nintendo Switch games may not be supported on or fully compatible with Nintendo #Switch2."
WHICH ONES?
So all the #Switch2 leaks were true, we still know more than Nintendo shared, and we have to wait until April for Nintendo to unveil the rest of what has leaked. The company must be beyond furious.
How much more will leak in the NEXT 3 months?
