Stay informed on the latest gaming advancements for an immersive experience like never before awaits! Quote We, like everyone else, are eagerly anticipating accurate information about the Switch 2! In the process of developing the next-generation console controller, Mobapad has also acquired a lot of firsthand information about the Switch 2, and now we're here to share it with everyone. 1. The Switch 2 will continue to support existing Joy-Cons and the Pro Controller, still equipped with ALPS dual-axis linear motors for HD rumble. 2. The cartridge slot of the Switch 2 will support backward compatibility with physical Switch game cartridges, ensuring compatibility with players' existing game libraries, including digital versions. However, the second-generation cartridges may not be compatible with the first-generation console. 3. The new version of Joy-Con has a larger volume, and the sliding rail structure has been changed to magnetic suction. The SL and SR buttons are metal buttons. Magnetic suction is achieved through electromagnetic suction technology, controlled by electric current. It's worth noting that, in addition to the L, ZL, R, and ZR buttons on the sides of the Joy-Con controller, a third button has been added on both the left and right sides. Additionally, below the HOME button on the right Joy-Con, there is an additional function button! 4. The bottom of the Switch 2 will still feature a USB-C port for docking, and the new generation dock will undergo minor changes in appearance while enhancing performance, supporting 4K resolution. 5. The new dock will feature a damping bracket on the back, allowing for a greater range of adjustable angles. 6. The screen will be upgraded to an 8-inch display, supporting 1080P resolution. Regarding the rumored electromagnetic technology for the Joy-Cons: Peripheral firm claims Switch 2 Joy-Cons use ‘electromagnetic suction’, have extra buttons | VGC WWW.VIDEOGAMESCHRONICLE.COM It also claims the new hardware can connect wirelessly to existing Joy-Cons… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s going to be another Nintendo console made from modified obsolete chips once again. 4k? It’s rumored to be on par with the PS4 from reports. Not even the pro! Its success depends on price and library. It’s going to be very difficult to capture the Switch’s popularity, but also I will never bet against Nintendo. They definitely need to come in at 400 or less, and that might be hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the visuals are PS4 quality Nintendo has such amazing art style these games will look phenomenal. I definitely see it launching below $400, too.

Maybe with a new Mario or something to ease the sting, but more likely just some shitty mini game collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclyp Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 My first reaction to the controller suction was that it sounds kinda stupid, but I guess it could be cool. I just hope that's not like the big thing is like it's just more creative mechanically. At the same time, I'm encouraged it seems to not only be software BC but hardware to some degree as well.

And I will absolutely buy one either way. I could be wrong, but in 2024 a new Switch OLED is still 350$. Prices didn’t really drop during the Switches life, and I can’t see this being cheaper. did the PS4 price drop after the Pro came out? I don’t remember. Is the switch the first console to remain the same price through its whole life cycle? The launch one is still 300 I believe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclyp Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 My understanding is the state of component costs and whatnot is going to make price drops on any console rather difficult for the foreseeable future. I would be pretty surprised at an Nintendo product launching at more than 400 bucks though. I would guess it'll be $350. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "electromagnetic suction" for the Joy-Cons just sounds like an over-engineered solution in search of an actual problem, to say nothing of its potential effect on battery charge duration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's likely still a slide-on mechanism except it locks in using magnets instead of the current press-a-button thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a strange one for me. I wasn't aware there were magnets that could be turned on/off with a small power pulse. A quick google search left me unable to find any real science behind it, so I am a little dubious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give them a slight hope for not awful 4K since they're using Nvidia and maybe have a DLSS solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch it just be like rails with a hook that can be engaged/disengaged with a quick polarity flip. Pulse power into the magnet in one direction to flip the hook into place. Pulse power into the magnet in other direction to retract it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People went absolutely apeshit and it turned out to be the click at the end of the shoulder button press IIRC. Good stuff. Anyway why anyone would get genuinely excited about a Nintendo controller feature after HD rumble is beyond me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, HD Rumble is amazing in the whole two games that use it. Did you say games? I meant tech demos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually using magnets to hold the thing together would obviously be terrible and would never work, and every other idea I've seen has seemed really farfetched. Also calling it "electromagnetic suction" is the dumbest shit ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBladeRoden Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 But I like the mechanical slide and click. The only thing I like about the Joycons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
