1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,680
Nintendo spends a shocking amount of time and energy antagonizing The Gaming

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:11,599
Community and yet I bought a Wii I bought a Wii U I bought a switch I

3
00:00:09,639 --> 00:00:18,439
bought an OLED switch and I'm going to buy a switch too why because nobody does

4
00:00:15,559 --> 00:00:22,880
what an intend do I mean who else could tease an upcoming console with the

5
00:00:20,519 --> 00:00:28,160
performance of a generation and a half old competing machine and yet have the

6
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:32,759
community say sounds great cuz the games for it are going to rock

7
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:37,800
speaking of community scuttlebutt this may be the most leaked Nintendo Hardware

8
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:42,800
ever and on top of the official announcement there is a lot more that we

9
00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:47,440
know or at least mostly know that makes us pretty excited about the switch too

10
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:52,239
let's begin the adventure of sorting through it all it's dangerous to go

11
00:00:48,879 --> 00:00:53,520
alone take this no way did we get a

12
00:00:52,239 --> 00:00:59,519
switch to early of course it's our sponsor dbrand

13
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:04,199
the Mad Lads are doing it they're making a Kill switch case this time for the

14
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:07,799
switch 2 you can sign up to get notified when it drops at dbrand.com

15
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:25,000
switch2 always masters of the rooster teas Nintendo gave us a mere 2minute 22

16
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:29,400
second tour of their attempt number two at a hybrid console but while at first

17
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:34,520
glance you might think it was pretty light on the details the Keeny have been

18
00:01:31,759 --> 00:01:38,439
gleaning a ton of info let's start with the good news given Nintendo's track

19
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:43,200
record of following up their most successful launches with Hyper

20
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:46,960
confusingly named successors simple two on the end of the name feels like a

21
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:51,200
pretty smart move especially given that the vision for the switch 2 seems to be

22
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:57,360
remarkably similar to the original just in a substantially larger package that

23
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:01,600
actually looks a lot like the handheld gaming PCs that seem to have prodded

24
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:06,759
into Nintendo into action here but don't kid yourself the plain black exterior is

25
00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:12,400
packed with subtle Nintendo charm and refinements like a better kickstand a

26
00:02:09,239 --> 00:02:14,720
new Dock and two USBC ports meaning

27
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:19,680
better ergonomics while charging and better support for multiple accessories

28
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:26,319
without needing a dongle all without sacrificing the headphone ja now that is

29
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:28,160
courage the new joycons also look great

30
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:32,560
the magnetic mounting mechanism looks way less finicky than the previous

31
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:34,360
sliding one and thank goodness they are

32
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:39,080
slightly larger for those of us who aren't literal children but still enjoy

33
00:02:36,519 --> 00:02:43,400
Mario Party both joycons appear to have infrared sensors this time and we've

34
00:02:41,159 --> 00:02:48,120
seen speculation that this strange hole on the controller rail may actually be

35
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:53,879
for a laser for Mouse functionality for a brief moment the

36
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:55,879
joycons were moving all mousike here

37
00:02:53,879 --> 00:03:00,319
which maybe confirms the leaks from a few weeks ago I don't know personally I

38
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:04,840
think it's more likely that it'll slot into like a cardboard cheese grader for

39
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:10,799
a Min game or something but who knows with Nintendo now exclusive to the right

40
00:03:07,319 --> 00:03:12,959
joy-con is the mysterious C button its

41
00:03:10,799 --> 00:03:17,200
exclusion from the left joy-con leads us to believe that it controls some kind of

42
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:22,319
function in handheld mode on past Nintendo controllers C often meant

43
00:03:19,519 --> 00:03:27,360
camera but it could also be chat or capture or a connect button for

44
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:31,560
wirelessly streaming games to your dock like the Wii U okay that one is

45
00:03:29,239 --> 00:03:37,400
speculation on our part and besides the only C that I care about is backwards

46
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:42,720
compatibility that's right baby you get to play your OG switch games both

47
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,840
physical and digital on your brand new

48
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:48,840
machine now there will be some exceptions probably the ones with the

49
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:54,040
weird peripheral requirements but even so this is fantastic news because there

50
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:59,040
is a ginormous library of amazing switch games many of which performed like

51
00:03:56,439 --> 00:04:02,879
absolute dog on the underpowered original console

52
00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:07,480
the only question is how is Nintendo going to roll this out personally I'd

53
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:12,360
probably just settle for more consistent frame rates but I'd also be surprised

54
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:18,400
given recent industry Trends if we didn't also see nextg visual updates but

55
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:23,320
will they be free for Nintendo online subscribers will Nintendo and other devs

56
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:28,919
provide them as paid patches or will Nintendo pull a Nintendo and lock these

57
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:34,520
patches behind a full price remaster forcing us to re by Donkey Kong Country

58
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,960
Returns for the fifth time the last of

59
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:40,240
the good news is that this video unintentionally added credibility to

60
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:45,400
some of the leakers who showed off not only the new shape and joycons but also

61
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:49,240
the specs that's right while you should always take leaks with at least one

62
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:54,720
grain of salt we're feeling pretty confident that this list will closely

63
00:04:51,880 --> 00:05:01,080
reflect the guts of the switch too let's start with the gml X 30- r- A1 processor

64
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:06,479
really rolls up the tongue don't it the gml x30 is an S so or system on a chip

65
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:10,479
that contains the CPU GPU memory controller and the I/O it's the Beating

66
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:16,320
Heart of the switch 2 and from what we know it appears to be a semic custom 5

67
00:05:13,039 --> 00:05:19,199
nanm variant of the originally 8 nanm

68
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:25,440
NVIDIA Tegra t239 from a couple of years ago and if that's true it is going to be

69
00:05:21,919 --> 00:05:28,680
a big upgrade I'm talking eight tiered

70
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:31,199
arm cores instead of just three and a

71
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:36,440
shockingly potent sounding GPU that uses NVIDIA's ampure architecture like the

72
00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:42,000
GeForce 3000 Series with 1,536 kudor 12 streaming multiprocessors

73
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:46,120
and maybe even other features such as an optical flow accelerator for frame

74
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:50,880
generation and eth gen en video encoding which could add some weight to

75
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:55,520
our hypothesis about the uh wireless video streaming now as for other big

76
00:05:52,840 --> 00:05:59,039
NVIDIA features there is no official confirmation that Nintendo will

77
00:05:56,919 --> 00:06:04,759
Implement support for dlss AI accelerated upscaling but you mark my

78
00:06:02,479 --> 00:06:10,240
words here guys if the switch 2 doesn't have some form of AI upscaling I will

79
00:06:07,039 --> 00:06:12,000
buy and eat an entire box of this Super

80
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:17,639
Mario cereal with Mountain Dew as the milk live on wow it's going to happen

81
00:06:15,599 --> 00:06:21,840
rumors also point to the presence of 48 gen 3 tensor cores and two ra tracing

82
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:25,720
ones but I'm not eating anything if I'm wrong on those ones we are a lot more

83
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:29,960
certain though about the RAM it looks like we're going to get 12 gigs of lpddr

84
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:34,160
5x memory clocked at 7500 megat transfers per second that is a big

85
00:06:31,759 --> 00:06:40,560
upgrade from the 4 gigs we had before at up to 1,600 megat transfers per second

86
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:43,560
it comes with 256 gigs of ufs 3.1 flash

87
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:45,639
storage rated at 2100 megabytes per

88
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:50,160
second not sure if that's reads or rights and it looks like it will be

89
00:06:47,639 --> 00:06:56,479
expandable using micro SD Express which is fantastic it also has support for

90
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:58,680
HDMI 2.1 although truthfully on a

91
00:06:56,479 --> 00:07:02,759
Nintendo console I'm a little less interested in high resolutions and frame

92
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:07,199
rates and I'm a little more interested in support for variable refresh rate

93
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:12,039
which goes a long way towards smoothing out games that are running at sub

94
00:07:09,599 --> 00:07:16,039
60fps and it should also help improve power consumption in handheld mode and I

95
00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:21,240
hear what you're thinking guys cool specs bro like your cool well-fitting

96
00:07:18,479 --> 00:07:25,879
blank t-shirts on Hilt store.com but what do the specs mean well when digital

97
00:07:23,919 --> 00:07:31,400
Foundry did their performance projection based on the t239 what they projected

98
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:36,400
was BAS PS4 graphics performance augmented with modern GPU features and

99
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:40,319
solid rate tracing support and given that that lines up well with claims from

100
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:44,000
Bobby codic former CEO of Activision Blizzard who honestly I wish we didn't

101
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:47,879
have to mention at all we're fairly confident that that's where we're going

102
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:52,639
to land not mind-blowing for a Home console but pretty exciting for a

103
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:56,759
handheld console especially one from Nintendo especially if you look at

104
00:07:54,720 --> 00:08:01,919
Nintendo's track record of delivering exceptional visuals on extremely Limited

105
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:07,080
Hardware like I can't wait to see what they can pull off on this thing speaking

106
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:12,919
of games the only game shown was presumably a new Mario Kart with

107
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:14,759
possibly support for 24 players if the

108
00:08:12,919 --> 00:08:20,120
starting lines are anything to go by and all I can say about that is it's about

109
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:24,919
Bloody time I mean last time Nintendo released a new numbered Mario Kart Luke

110
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:29,000
still lived in the basement at our Langley house Studio outside of the

111
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:33,959
video we have three other games confirmed for next gen Nintendo platform

112
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:38,120
releases but after that we are deep into speculations Ville the last new 3D Mario

113
00:08:36,479 --> 00:08:41,919
game was 8 years ago so we may see one of those the new Pokemon Legends and

114
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:45,480
Xenoblade are due this year so I wouldn't be surprised if they lined up

115
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:50,959
with the console launch Metroid Prime 4 is supposed to come out at some point so

116
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:54,320
switch to for any degree of certainty though we'll need to wait until April

117
00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:59,160
but seeing as the switch one had arguably the best launch window in

118
00:08:56,680 --> 00:09:04,079
console history and given that Nintendo C clearly hasn't rushed this launch I'm

119
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:08,399
hopeful that Nintendo can deliver another explosive start to the new

120
00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:11,640
generation as excited as we all are about the first party titles though only

121
00:09:10,279 --> 00:09:16,880
time's going to tell if Nintendo's ecosystem will continue to attract

122
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:19,079
thirdparty developers the switch relied

123
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:23,480
heavily on its enormous install base to incentivize High effort ports and

124
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:27,760
there's no guarantee that especially given that some games are clearly going

125
00:09:25,279 --> 00:09:32,040
to be cross-compatible the switch 2 is going to sell in such quantities but on

126
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:37,240
the other hand developers probably won't need to run their games at sub 540p

127
00:09:34,399 --> 00:09:40,399
resolutions anymore and Microsoft has made no secret of their Ambitions to

128
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:45,760
grow their software share on other platforms and for that matter we've seen

129
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:50,480
hints from Square Enix that former Sony exclusives like Final Fantasy 7 remake

130
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:55,600
and rebirth could find a new home at Big Red in spite of all this however I doubt

131
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:59,680
the switch 2 will see the same kind of historic success as the original first

132
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:03,959
up it remains to be seen if the performance jump will be big enough to

133
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:07,880
entice the masses second many people bought multiple switches for their

134
00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:12,200
households sometimes one for the kids and you know one for the TV and as long

135
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:17,519
as the games are also being released on the original switch and trust me with an

136
00:10:14,279 --> 00:10:19,519
install base of over 145 million units

137
00:10:17,519 --> 00:10:22,959
that's going to be for a while I'm not sure that those parents are going to

138
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:27,680
feel the need to upgrade consoles number two or number three in the house at

139
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:32,240
least not in the current economy and finally the switch 2 has a lot more

140
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:37,200
competition than the original the original landed in a completely Barren

141
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:43,040
handheld gaming World it proved there was an appetite for dedicated handheld

142
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:45,760
gaming devices but in doing so since its

143
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:49,760
release we have seen a flood of excellent options from other parties

144
00:10:47,839 --> 00:10:56,360
like the steam deck from valve and the allyx from Asus both of which can

145
00:10:53,519 --> 00:11:01,200
uh run switch games better than the original switch can which as long as the

146
00:10:58,839 --> 00:11:05,480
game live lies overlap is kind of what the switch 2 does at the end of the day

147
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:08,760
though as someone who pays for my games I can't wait to get my hands on the

148
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:13,399
switch 2 when it comes out later this year just like I can't wait to tell you

149
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:17,440
about our sponsor dbrand they announced over a month ago that they were going to

150
00:11:14,959 --> 00:11:21,560
make a kill switch case for the switch 2 and we've been told that it will be

151
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:25,480
ready to ship on or before the launch date of the console wait how do they

152
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:31,079
even know when that's going to be those bloody robots anyway we all know it's

153
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:34,920
going to be super protective but what we don't know is they have managed to

154
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:38,360
design it so that the joycons are still removable now a ton of us around here

155
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:42,519
use their kill switch cases for our Steam deex and our R allies we know

156
00:11:40,839 --> 00:11:47,920
they're not cheap but you get what you pay for top-notch quality and excellent

157
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:52,480
customer service head over to dbrand.com switch2 and sign up to get notified when

158
00:11:50,519 --> 00:11:56,760
you can pick up a switch2 kill switch case for yourself if you like Nintendo

159
00:11:54,920 --> 00:12:02,360
consoles you should check out our gaming console tier list we no we don't have

160
00:11:59,519 --> 00:12:06,160
that many controversial takes David I think they're good takes
