So what do we think of the Switch 2 design?

It looks better than the Switch 1, but I'm curious about the specs and especially the games.

I like the splash of color being on the joysticks, I think it looks really good. Happy about the larger screen size also.

I get people who dislike the black, but I like it with the sorta tron-line colour accents. New method of attaching the joycons seems easier too

I like the joy-con sticks. They look more improved. Other than that, the console itself looks like Nintendo took inspiration from the Steam Deck.

I think it's going to be DOPE

I really only play docked on a monitor. The form factor is nice, looks more refined. I don't like the joycon design and will use a pro controller/arcade stick. Switch has always been a tough sell for me as it's really a handheld/portable first and as a home console it seems to be an afterthought.

I think it looks great, and I’d definitely be interested in it. My biggest question would be which games aren’t going to be backward compatible. I was genuinely shocked when I saw that in the announcement trailer

casualabitibien.bsky.social•41 days ago

My guess is something in the lines of no support for Nintendo Labo and limited support for games that uses IR camera, like 1 2 switch.

thedonluke.bsky.social•41 days ago

Ohhhh right. I totally forgot about Labo 😅

It looks a lot less like a toy, especially the dock.

I like it! Should be a comfier fit in the hands. I'm super curious about specs though, in particular the photo sharing feature and how much more powerful it might be.

jazzafrazz.bsky.social•41 days ago

I love it, especially the bigger joy cons, but it’s gonna take me a while to get used to the rounded dock

brinkofgaming.bsky.social•41 days ago

Exactly what you said :)

bulbawhat98.bsky.social•41 days ago

It looks clean

I'll just be glad to play switch games in 60fps. There's quite a bit of games I haven't played on the switch due to the FPS. This is gonna give me a whole other library of games to play.

It feels very iterative so it's hard to get too excited about the design. They'll probably have some fun new features too show later, but rn I think it's just alright. Always glad to see the headphone jack being kept tho.

It's going to be innovative without being confusing. It's going to be a great place for 3rd party devs to develop for - and they can totally choose to ignore any of the gimmicks (mouse joycon). It's got PS2 vibes for sure.

famicom8bit.bsky.social•41 days ago

A more powerful Switch is all I wanted, so I’m happy.

I wanna see how the mouse feature works tho!

parmparm.bsky.social•41 days ago

IF I had something to complain about its that the bezels are big again on the screen which only means a new model will fix that later 😭😂

emwithaswitch.bsky.social•41 days ago

Me slamming my big bezel Switch 2 into the dock and never taking its big bezel ass out ever again

parmparm.bsky.social•41 days ago

YOURE NOT A HANDHELD ENJOYER!?!? 😩

emwithaswitch.bsky.social•41 days ago

Noooo I'm kidding lmao 😭

theslykrow.bsky.social•41 days ago

What's the point of the handheld tablet then 🤔

gloriouskev.bsky.social•41 days ago

I dislike the big bezels on the screen but other than that I'm happy with it. I hope it has an OLED display. Hoping it doesn't cost too much either. $300 -$350 is ideal imo
