Switch 2 Rumor-Mongering: A Limited Time Event

Just a guess but… upon purchase and receipt of a Switch 2, a man under contract with Nintendo dressed as one of four primary Mario franchise characters will spend a week in your home to make sure you’re playing first party games properly.

He will bring a cot and a small fan. You don’t need to feed him, but you are allowed to.

Jeff Gerstmann will feel obligated to taste a cartridge and the panel needs to do a taste test on the podcast before he can to save him from this burden.

Also the Switch Lite will grow a second display and come with a stylus upon release of the Switch 2 so we can all reject modernity and embrace tradition.

All I want is much faster loading times. Primarily being on pc and ps5 has made me deeply impatient.

Word around the Town is that the Switch 2’s handheld mode will literally hold your hand, providing the spark of warmth and kindness missing from the gaming experience. The aforementioned vitality sensors will be used to ensure the lonesome player does not achieve arousal at unsafe levels.

All I want is some sort of Streetpass capability.

Switch 2 will allow you to lock Dead Cells at a rocksolid 40 fps as opposed to the Sw1tch’s 30. I will be slightly happy enough about this to spend 400 dollars on this. (It will still hitch every time I get hit to load the amount of damage.) (I will still not get a steam deck.)

A week after it’s release, we’ll start to see leaked insider information about a Switch 2 Pro.

My boring answer: The Switch but with better graphic capabilities, it’ll be backwards compatible but the Switch store will need to be accessed using an obscure app hidden in the setting somewhere, exactly how the DSi eShop was accessible on the 3DS.

And the resolution will be wonky, or unappealing requiring a button input to show original aspect radio with black bordering.

It will be a good console and the new Mario on it will be lots of fun to play

But also those fucking narcs at Nintendo will contrive some dumb reason to make it not 100% backwards compatible, like, sure it will be mostly backwards compatible but there will be like 7 games that run like shit for no reason and 3 that won’t run at all. It will be games no one really cares about but still, it’s the principle of it

It will not be backwards compatible with original Switch cartridges, but can play all your digital purchases (but not as well as the original Switch could).

Despite being the most powerful handheld gaming machine ever made, within a month of release Tim Rogers will call the Switch 2 a “slop bucket full of warm potato salad” when it’s outperformed by his new, $3000 PC graphics card that’s 3 times bigger.
