Nintendo Switch 2 Direct 4-2-25 My thoughts.
7 months ago
I just saw the Nintendo Switch 2 direct and here are some of my thought about it.
Once again they start off with a bang. A new Mario Kart game is shown! It was shown in the teaser trailer and it looks amazing! New characters, karts and items are shown here and there are new techniques such as rail wheelies and hoping from wall to wall and get into bigger vehicles! You can even change outfits in this game! The Mario Kart 9 game is named Mario Kart World! For the first time you can go open world! That's awesome! There's even a knockout tournament! You can even take photos during your race and free roam! It's slated to be released at the same day as the Switch 2!
They are now showing the what the "C" button does. It allows you to chat with others! It's called GameChat and you can chat with other if you have the Nintendo Switch Online subscription. The microphone has a noise cancelling function so you don't have to worry about what's going on in the background. You can screen share games even if it's not the same game as yours! There's even a camera if you want to see yourself playing with friends! If you get this you'll have a free rial of GameChat until the end of March 2026!
You can share games to not only Nintendo Switch 2 consoles but Nintendo Switch 1 consoles as well! However this only works if your have a Switch 2 console. Still that's so awesome!
They're finally getting to the good part. The specs. It has a 7.9 inch screen compared to 6.2 inch of the Switch on but it the thickness is still the same 13.9 mm. (which is about 0.5 inch). When it's not docked it can run a 1080p and when docked it can run 4K and you can adjust the TV screen's resolution if your TV can't handle 4K. It can run at 12 FPS! It has Vivid LCD and HDR support. You can magnetically attach the Switch 2 Joycons and there a button to safely detach them! The SL/SR buttons are bigger. The control sticks are larger but they didn't say they got rid of the drifting problem. The Joycons can act like a computer mouse which is awesome! It has improved speakers and clearer audio. It even balances the 3 ranges of the audio! The kickstand can now go all the way back! No need to charge the Switch 2 console on the bottom of the console! You can even charge it from the top of the console! The Switch 2's internal memory is at 256 GBs and I bet if they release an OLED version it would be at 512 GBs! The back of the Switch 2 dock slides off rather than a door like flap. The dock even has a cooling fan!
You can take a virtual tour of the console and controllers called Welcome Tour! I can't wait to check it out!
The physical games are the same size as the Switch 1 and they're still using MicroSD cards but only Express versions of it.
The Switch 2 Pro Controller looks amazing and it has additional buttons the GL/GR buttons! It even has a headphone jack!
The Nintendo Switch 2 along with Mario Kart World will be released on... June 5th! One month before my birthmonth which is July! I hope to get it for my birthday!
They're adding new features to the Switch 1 games to the Switch 2. Super Mario Party Jamboree is up first and it's going to add Jamboree TV! It can use mouse control, voice control like Mario Party 6 & 7, and a more powerful HD Rumble. You can even use the camera to be in the game! Bowser live lets you do mini-games with Bowser! You can ride on the Carnival Coaster as you shoot down enemies and play mini-games! The Jamboree TV will be added on July 24th but it only works if you have a Switch 2. Once you do, If you own Super Mario Party Jamboree already, there's an upgrade pack you can buy.
The Legend Of Zelda Breath Of The Wild and Tears Of The Kingdom is going to be ported to the Switch 2! There's the Zelda Notes app if you want to find Shrines, Towers, Materials or Ingredients. You can even save your creations in Tears Of The Kingdom!
Kirby is getting a new post game story call Star Crossed Worlds! The crystals here look amazing!
More Metroid Prime 4 content and it's better than the last! It's going to be released on the Switch 1 and Switch 2 so I'm looking forward to it! You can use the Joycon's mouse mode to aim and shoot if your using the Switch 2 version.
Pokemon Legenda Z-A looks amazing and I get it will get better when it gets released.
A new game called DragXDrive is like wheelchair basketball and it looks cool. The mouse function to move and shoot is amazing!
Oh no freaking way! Elden Ring is going to be ported to the Switch 2! It came out on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S in 2022 and now it's finally being released on the Switch 2! It's going to come out later this year so we'll find out next direct or something.
Hades 2 is coming out soon on the Switch 2! I never played the 1st Hades game so I may play that while I wait for the Switch 2 version to come out.
Street Fighter 6 is coming out soon but it begs the question. Monster Hunter Wilds on Switch 2 when Nintendo and Capcom?
Daemon X Machina Titanic Scion is coming out soon! I played Daemon X Machina on the Switch 1 so it'll be awesome to get this! It's going to be released on May 9th so I'm looking forward to playing it!
I never heard of Split Fiction but I bet it's going to be amazing though!
I'm so excited for Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3+4! I played the original version on a PS2 or Gamecube before and it is epic! Do I see Spongebob related content? Guess we'll find out when it gets released this summer.
Oh wow they're porting or making a Hitman game(s) on to the Switch! I can't wait to play as Agent 47!
And speaking of agent. A new 007 game is going to be released! it's called Project 007 but we're gonna have to wait for more info later this year.
Bravely Default gets the Switch 2 port! I never played any of the Bravely Default games so it'll be cool to try them out!
Yakuza 0 is getting a Switch 2 port! I have the PC version and I'm even streaming it as of this post! I can wait to play as Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majama on the go!
Just like the last Hyrule Warriors game based on The Legend Of Zelda Breath Of The Wild, and now it's Tears Of The Kingdom's turn! That's right! Hyrule Warriors Age Of Imprisonment is coming out! We get to see what Zelda did when she went back in time during the events of The Legend Of Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom! It's slated to be released this winter so I might get it for Christmas!
The NSO Expansion pack is getting a new virtual console and it's the Nintendo Gamecube! The games that are shown are The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Soulcaliber 2, F-Zero GX, Super Mario Sunshine, Fire Emblem Path Of Radiance, Pokemon Colosseum, Pokemon XD Gale Of Darkness, Super Mario Strikers, Chibi Robo, and Luigi's Mansion 1. There will be more later on this year! You can buy the wireless Gamecube controller! I bet many people will buy this if they add Super Smash Bros. Melee on it.
Deltarune is releasing Chapters 3 & 4! I've played Chapters 1 & 2 so it's going to be awesome to play the next 2 chapters of Deltarune!
Borderlands 4 is ok but it's not something I would buy.
Sid Myers Civilization 7 (VII) is coming to the Switch 2 to utilize the mouse function of the Switch 2 Joycons. I remember playing the 1st 2 Civilization games on PC in the 90s so it might be good.
Enter The Gungeon is going 3D with Enter The Gungeon 2! I never played the 1st Enter The Gungeon so this may be intersting.
Cyberpunk 2077 is getting a Switch 2 port! It'll be awesome to explore with Johnny Silverhand who is voiced by Keanu Reeves the same guy who voiced Neo Anderson of The Matrix, Ted from Bill and Ted, John Wick and the more recent role Shadow The Hedgehog from Sonic The Hedgehog 3! I can't wait!
Final Fantasy 7 Remake is getting a Switch 2 port! It'll be awesome to play as Cloud!
There are some games coming out on the Switch 2 and possible Switch 1. Some are interested to me are Hollow Knight: Silksong, Story Of Seasons Grand Bazaar, Good Night Universe, Puyo Puyo Tetris 25, Star Wars Outlaws, and Shadow Labyrinth. The rest I have no interest in playing them.
The Duskbloods is a new FromSoftware game and you get to play as a vampire which is cool! I may try it out when it gets released next year.
Oh no freaking way! Kirby Air Riders! I never play Kirby Air Ride before and I kinda wish I had.
Once again they end a bang with a new Donkey Kong game and it's called Donkey Kong Banaza! Looks like DK is digging a ground and mining things! I can't wait to play it to show off DK's intense strength! It's coming out on the Switch 2 July 17th! I might get it as a post birthday present!
