00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.680
Nintendo spends a shocking amount of time and energy antagonizing The Gaming

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

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

00:00:15.559 --> 00:00:22.880
what an intend do I mean who else could tease an upcoming console with the

00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:28.160
performance of a generation and a half old competing machine and yet have the

00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:32.759
community say sounds great cuz the games for it are going to rock

00:00:30.840 --> 00:00:37.800
speaking of community scuttlebutt this may be the most leaked Nintendo Hardware

00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:42.800
ever and on top of the official announcement there is a lot more that we

00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:47.440
know or at least mostly know that makes us pretty excited about the switch too

00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:52.239
let's begin the adventure of sorting through it all it's dangerous to go

00:00:48.879 --> 00:00:53.520
alone take this no way did we get a

00:00:52.239 --> 00:00:59.519
switch to early of course it's our sponsor dbrand

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

00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:07.799
switch 2 you can sign up to get notified when it drops at dbrand.com

00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:25.000
switch2 always masters of the rooster teas Nintendo gave us a mere 2minute 22

00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:29.400
second tour of their attempt number two at a hybrid console but while at first

00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:34.520
glance you might think it was pretty light on the details the Keeny have been

00:01:31.759 --> 00:01:38.439
gleaning a ton of info let's start with the good news given Nintendo's track

00:01:36.880 --> 00:01:43.200
record of following up their most successful launches with Hyper

00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:46.960
confusingly named successors simple two on the end of the name feels like a

00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:51.200
pretty smart move especially given that the vision for the switch 2 seems to be

00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:57.360
remarkably similar to the original just in a substantially larger package that

00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:01.600
actually looks a lot like the handheld gaming PCs that seem to have prodded

00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:06.759
into Nintendo into action here but don't kid yourself the plain black exterior is

00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:12.400
packed with subtle Nintendo charm and refinements like a better kickstand a

00:02:09.239 --> 00:02:14.720
new Dock and two USBC ports meaning

00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:19.680
better ergonomics while charging and better support for multiple accessories

00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:26.319
without needing a dongle all without sacrificing the headphone ja now that is

00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:28.160
courage the new joycons also look great

00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:32.560
the magnetic mounting mechanism looks way less finicky than the previous

00:02:29.440 --> 00:02:34.360
sliding one and thank goodness they are

00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:39.080
slightly larger for those of us who aren't literal children but still enjoy

00:02:36.519 --> 00:02:43.400
Mario Party both joycons appear to have infrared sensors this time and we've

00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:48.120
seen speculation that this strange hole on the controller rail may actually be

00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:53.879
for a laser for Mouse functionality for a brief moment the

00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:55.879
joycons were moving all mousike here

00:02:53.879 --> 00:03:00.319
which maybe confirms the leaks from a few weeks ago I don't know personally I

00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:04.840
think it's more likely that it'll slot into like a cardboard cheese grader for

00:03:02.640 --> 00:03:10.799
a Min game or something but who knows with Nintendo now exclusive to the right

00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:12.959
joy-con is the mysterious C button its

00:03:10.799 --> 00:03:17.200
exclusion from the left joy-con leads us to believe that it controls some kind of

00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:22.319
function in handheld mode on past Nintendo controllers C often meant

00:03:19.519 --> 00:03:27.360
camera but it could also be chat or capture or a connect button for

00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:31.560
wirelessly streaming games to your dock like the Wii U okay that one is

00:03:29.239 --> 00:03:37.400
speculation on our part and besides the only C that I care about is backwards

00:03:34.760 --> 00:03:42.720
compatibility that's right baby you get to play your OG switch games both

00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:44.840
physical and digital on your brand new

00:03:42.720 --> 00:03:48.840
machine now there will be some exceptions probably the ones with the

00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:54.040
weird peripheral requirements but even so this is fantastic news because there

00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:59.040
is a ginormous library of amazing switch games many of which performed like

00:03:56.439 --> 00:04:02.879
absolute dog on the underpowered original console

00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:07.480
the only question is how is Nintendo going to roll this out personally I'd

00:04:06.040 --> 00:04:12.360
probably just settle for more consistent frame rates but I'd also be surprised

00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:18.400
given recent industry Trends if we didn't also see nextg visual updates but

00:04:16.440 --> 00:04:23.320
will they be free for Nintendo online subscribers will Nintendo and other devs

00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:28.919
provide them as paid patches or will Nintendo pull a Nintendo and lock these

00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:34.520
patches behind a full price remaster forcing us to re by Donkey Kong Country

00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:35.960
Returns for the fifth time the last of

00:04:34.520 --> 00:04:40.240
the good news is that this video unintentionally added credibility to

00:04:38.440 --> 00:04:45.400
some of the leakers who showed off not only the new shape and joycons but also

00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:49.240
the specs that's right while you should always take leaks with at least one

00:04:47.320 --> 00:04:54.720
grain of salt we're feeling pretty confident that this list will closely

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

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

00:05:04.400 --> 00:05:10.479
that contains the CPU GPU memory controller and the I/O it's the Beating

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

00:05:13.039 --> 00:05:19.199
nanm variant of the originally 8 nanm

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

00:05:21.919 --> 00:05:28.680
a big upgrade I'm talking eight tiered

00:05:25.440 --> 00:05:31.199
arm cores instead of just three and a

00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:36.440
shockingly potent sounding GPU that uses NVIDIA's ampure architecture like the

00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:42.000
GeForce 3000 Series with 1,536 kudor 12 streaming multiprocessors

00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:46.120
and maybe even other features such as an optical flow accelerator for frame

00:05:43.520 --> 00:05:50.880
generation and eth gen en video encoding which could add some weight to

00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:55.520
our hypothesis about the uh wireless video streaming now as for other big

00:05:52.840 --> 00:05:59.039
NVIDIA features there is no official confirmation that Nintendo will

00:05:56.919 --> 00:06:04.759
Implement support for dlss AI accelerated upscaling but you mark my

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

00:06:07.039 --> 00:06:12.000
buy and eat an entire box of this Super

00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:17.639
Mario cereal with Mountain Dew as the milk live on wow it's going to happen

00:06:15.599 --> 00:06:21.840
rumors also point to the presence of 48 gen 3 tensor cores and two ra tracing

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

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

00:06:27.880 --> 00:06:34.160
5x memory clocked at 7500 megat transfers per second that is a big

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

00:06:37.080 --> 00:06:43.560
it comes with 256 gigs of ufs 3.1 flash

00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:45.639
storage rated at 2100 megabytes per

00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:50.160
second not sure if that's reads or rights and it looks like it will be

00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:56.479
expandable using micro SD Express which is fantastic it also has support for

00:06:53.280 --> 00:06:58.680
HDMI 2.1 although truthfully on a

00:06:56.479 --> 00:07:02.759
Nintendo console I'm a little less interested in high resolutions and frame

00:07:00.400 --> 00:07:07.199
rates and I'm a little more interested in support for variable refresh rate

00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:12.039
which goes a long way towards smoothing out games that are running at sub

00:07:09.599 --> 00:07:16.039
60fps and it should also help improve power consumption in handheld mode and I

00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:21.240
hear what you're thinking guys cool specs bro like your cool well-fitting

00:07:18.479 --> 00:07:25.879
blank t-shirts on Hilt store.com but what do the specs mean well when digital

00:07:23.919 --> 00:07:31.400
Foundry did their performance projection based on the t239 what they projected

00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:36.400
was BAS PS4 graphics performance augmented with modern GPU features and

00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:40.319
solid rate tracing support and given that that lines up well with claims from

00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:44.000
Bobby codic former CEO of Activision Blizzard who honestly I wish we didn't

00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:47.879
have to mention at all we're fairly confident that that's where we're going

00:07:45.440 --> 00:07:52.639
to land not mind-blowing for a Home console but pretty exciting for a

00:07:50.280 --> 00:07:56.759
handheld console especially one from Nintendo especially if you look at

00:07:54.720 --> 00:08:01.919
Nintendo's track record of delivering exceptional visuals on extremely Limited

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

00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:12.919
of games the only game shown was presumably a new Mario Kart with

00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:14.759
possibly support for 24 players if the

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

00:08:17.520 --> 00:08:24.919
Bloody time I mean last time Nintendo released a new numbered Mario Kart Luke

00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:29.000
still lived in the basement at our Langley house Studio outside of the

00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:33.959
video we have three other games confirmed for next gen Nintendo platform

00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:38.120
releases but after that we are deep into speculations Ville the last new 3D Mario

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

00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:45.480
Xenoblade are due this year so I wouldn't be surprised if they lined up

00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:50.959
with the console launch Metroid Prime 4 is supposed to come out at some point so

00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:54.320
switch to for any degree of certainty though we'll need to wait until April

00:08:52.560 --> 00:08:59.160
but seeing as the switch one had arguably the best launch window in

00:08:56.680 --> 00:09:04.079
console history and given that Nintendo C clearly hasn't rushed this launch I'm

00:09:02.760 --> 00:09:08.399
hopeful that Nintendo can deliver another explosive start to the new

00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:11.640
generation as excited as we all are about the first party titles though only

00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:16.880
time's going to tell if Nintendo's ecosystem will continue to attract

00:09:13.680 --> 00:09:19.079
thirdparty developers the switch relied

00:09:16.880 --> 00:09:23.480
heavily on its enormous install base to incentivize High effort ports and

00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:27.760
there's no guarantee that especially given that some games are clearly going

00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:32.040
to be cross-compatible the switch 2 is going to sell in such quantities but on

00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:37.240
the other hand developers probably won't need to run their games at sub 540p

00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:40.399
resolutions anymore and Microsoft has made no secret of their Ambitions to

00:09:39.040 --> 00:09:45.760
grow their software share on other platforms and for that matter we've seen

00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:50.480
hints from Square Enix that former Sony exclusives like Final Fantasy 7 remake

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

00:09:53.800 --> 00:09:59.680
the switch 2 will see the same kind of historic success as the original first

00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:03.959
up it remains to be seen if the performance jump will be big enough to

00:10:01.160 --> 00:10:07.880
entice the masses second many people bought multiple switches for their

00:10:05.680 --> 00:10:12.200
households sometimes one for the kids and you know one for the TV and as long

00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:17.519
as the games are also being released on the original switch and trust me with an

00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:19.519
install base of over 145 million units

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

00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:27.680
feel the need to upgrade consoles number two or number three in the house at

00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:32.240
least not in the current economy and finally the switch 2 has a lot more

00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:37.200
competition than the original the original landed in a completely Barren

00:10:34.760 --> 00:10:43.040
handheld gaming World it proved there was an appetite for dedicated handheld

00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:45.760
gaming devices but in doing so since its

00:10:43.040 --> 00:10:49.760
release we have seen a flood of excellent options from other parties

00:10:47.839 --> 00:10:56.360
like the steam deck from valve and the allyx from Asus both of which can

00:10:53.519 --> 00:11:01.200
uh run switch games better than the original switch can which as long as the

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

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

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

00:11:10.760 --> 00:11:17.440
about our sponsor dbrand they announced over a month ago that they were going to

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

00:11:18.800 --> 00:11:25.480
ready to ship on or before the launch date of the console wait how do they

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

00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:34.920
going to be super protective but what we don't know is they have managed to

00:11:32.760 --> 00:11:38.360
design it so that the joycons are still removable now a ton of us around here

00:11:36.800 --> 00:11:42.519
use their kill switch cases for our Steam deex and our R allies we know

00:11:40.839 --> 00:11:47.920
they're not cheap but you get what you pay for top-notch quality and excellent

00:11:45.160 --> 00:11:52.480
customer service head over to dbrand.com switch2 and sign up to get notified when

00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:56.760
you can pick up a switch2 kill switch case for yourself if you like Nintendo

00:11:54.920 --> 00:12:02.360
consoles you should check out our gaming console tier list we no we don't have

00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:06.160
that many controversial takes David I think they're good takes
