Removing the Joy-Con from the Switch 2 is the furthest thing from possible. It'd remove out of the box, portable multiplayer, and many other things. But if they remove the Joy-Con, they have to change the logo! The logo *is* the Joy-Con, at least an abstract version. There is no reality where the Switch 2 changes the logo entirely. It's just as likely as it not being called Switch at all.
I agree with you, I could see the better version of joy cons in terms of both performance and design.
John, the tabletop mode and joy con concept are huge ( honestly a hit) with children. They arent moving away from that. If anything, that is what the new gimmick will take even further. Bet!
Agreed. The Switch came out when I was going into highschool and we used it constantly for multiplayer.
At most, I can see some improvements in motion controls (for VR) and completely redesigning the sticks to avoid drift. But besides that, I don't see Joycons leaving.
For me, an adult, tabletop mode is an occasional novelty but I'm glad it's an option. That being said over the years my joycons have loosened a bit and occasionally one will click a bit out of place after playing for a while. I hope the new controller/joycon are a bit larger to grip.
Nintendos main market for the Switch is casual and family gamers, just as it was with the Wii.
Most of the CZcamsrs or Internet people come at from a ‘gamer’ angle, wanting 4K graphics and 120fps whereas Nintendos core market just doesn’t care about that.
If tabletop mode is popular with the majority of their user base then it’s coming back.
The joycons are barely usable. Children hold the upside down etc in my experience
John is the perfect addition to this podcast
Where was MVG though?
Probably working 🤷♂️
Love the collabs with Digital Foundry, let's go Nate!
Not having something like joycons is crazy imo. Casuals still like that tabletop, share a controller concept. Very good for the younger audience too. The “grip” they included could probably go, though I’ve still seen so many people with switches only use that
I think only the core gaming audience really hates joycons lmao. Go offline and everyone uses them
I just want it to have a dpad.
@@worthless_opinion the buttons being side “agnostic” is a cool concept, I think they just need to be closer together? It feels like they’re just too far apart to move around with as a dpad
@@Feroror that would deff be more tolerable, buttons with size/distance like 3ds would be good. Though it deff wouldn't hurt if Nintendo made dpad joycons that have Bluetooth this time around
Too small for my hands, reason I didn't buy a switch.
@harlemstruggle you can get a pro controller. I wouldn't let Joy cons let you miss out on switch games.
As someone who got an OLED specifically because of the improved kickstand, I wholeheartedly disagree with your opinions on the importance of tabletop mode. I can't imagine they'd make the screen (and thus, the device) larger and likely heavier while removing tabletop mode that would most benefit from the screen size increase.
I like the split controller concept of the joy-con. I hope they make better versions rather than abandon the concept.
Agreed it needs to be much more sturdier and refined.
So. Much. Breathing.
1) I think Switch is keeping the joycons. Kids use them and the tabletop more than adults. I don't think those are going away.
2) I think we could see Metroid Prime 4 trailer at the next Direct, with however it relates with Switch 2 revealed later.
3) Keep up the good work, Nate. I'm still holding you to the fire on F-Zero GX.
I tend to agree. The Joy-Con will continue.
We’ll know for sure before year’s end.
Switch 2 absolutely needs to keep their current ways to switch modes,while adding additional switch modes.
Releasing a detachable screen would be one ideal,and maybe being able to switch to a VR play mode could be another.
I was just on your channel a few hours ago to see if you uploaded any new Switch 2 video that I've missed and lo and behold, here is a new one.
Overplayed topic
Endlessly discussed topic with virtually zero concrete information ever offered
I know right. Always seems to drop at the best times.
The switch 2 is destroying gaming
@@hackysmacky
Ok 👌
perfect am at work. n needed sum to listen to shoutout nate fr
Yuhhhh
I don't think joy-cons are going away. I see them making new joy-cons for the system with far better reliability. magnets instead of rails, sturdier materials, analog triggers with haptic feedback and better joy-sticks (Not necessarily hall effect but far better than we have now.) Nintendo wanted to package two controllers similar to the NES and SNES back in the day and the joy-cons were a creative solution to that without jacking up the cost with 2 full controllers in the box. Also 2 joy-cons separate slouched back on the couch was the most comfortable and my preferred way to play in most scenarios even with my large hands.
Such a great discussion guys ! Thank you
I friggin' love these discussion videos...
Levelheaded and logical expectations for what may be on the horizon w/ thoughtful reasoning (aside from, occasionally, the nebulous "it's time" rhetoric) and a dash of insider info.
...and speaking of Nate's inside scoop, I appreciate how effectively he tows the line between informative and whetting our collective appetite; the guy isn't out here just trying to spoil the fun of it all.
Or it's just being vague, because there's no actual information.
If they completely get rid of Joy-Con, that would limit what Nintendo likes to do. Games like Ring Fit Adventure were huge, and Nintendo would need something like Joy-Con for the inevitable sequel on Switch 2.
the major issues with updating the eshop is that most of the pain around it comes from how little memory the Switch has to allocate for OS processes
eShop is almost entirely hosted via Cloudfront. The OS only has to do with local HTML placement of resources when caching.
Weird statement here.🤨
Great episode! I do think the doubt on if joycons are being abandoned feels like speculation/a wrong guess from Nate, Nintendo makes a ridiculous amount of money on joycon colors, selling them individually, along with all the accessories that use single joycons like ringfit, and how they’re a major part of the switch’s branding and identity
Well if you look it like that - this make sense.
Also selling Pro Controllers to people who hated the joy cons. I don't know anybody who uses the joy cons detached from the main system body. And while it may sound like I'm disagreeing with you sarcastically, I actually think they are very happy to sell people in my family 5 pro controllers on top of the faulty joycons that they shipped
Was about to sit down and eat so perfect timing 🤙
Super Princess Peach was the name of the old DS game... the Switch game is called Princess Peach Showtime
I've been thirsting for more Switch 2 discussion from this channel ever since the last one. John Linneman's here too which is a surprise. And an awesome one at that too. Wish MVG could've been in this discussion along with you two guys.
Time to put the headphones on and listen to this.
Always great to hear Nate’s voice.
I'm still hopeful the Switch 2's LCD screen will support HDR 🤞
At very least it better be supported when I plug it into my TV
Great discussion like always you guys!! I actually agree with the idea of a partner direct, personally I can see this direct being the last one for the current switch. I see it as a 3ds situation where the next hardware will launch but the current switch will still get support
This was really entertaining. You gained a new subscriber. Also, John is the best!!
Welcome aboard!
I agree with the comments that they are absolutely not ditching the joycons. They add so much functionality to the system with motion controls and playstyles. Nintendo are gonna keep wanting to innovate on that
My only note on the table top joycons....i fly ALOT for work and i use the table top method so often....its so nice to sit back snd no hsve to hold the entire switch in my hands
The Switch 2 announcement trailer won't be shadowdropped. There will be an announcement that the video will be dropped the next day.
As for timing, the best time for announcement in March seems to be the first couple of weeks to let them give Peach's game a bit of marketing. A March release also works because they likely don't want a repeat of the 3DS announcement.
Finally, the Direct is likely to be a Mini and not a partner Direct, mainly because they have a few first party things to clarify on.
As for tabletop mode, while I did initially have to use it on my launch Switch due to the Joy Con no longer connecting, I've found that I prefer tabletop over handheld with the OLED, likely as my hands have gotten older and due to its heavier size.
Based on the success of switch there might not be need to give a heads up on the announcement (tho Nintendo could still do an announcement of the announcement.
Didn't the tweet announcement of the preview trailer for the Switch/NX drop the day of? I agree it won't be a shadow drop, but I also don't think it'll be a 24+ hour notice period, either.
@@julian_whiteway it was 15 to 16 hours between announcement of the trailer and the trailer itself, so Eastern Europe, Asia, and Western Oceania likely got it within the same day. .
@@johnhoftb ah, if you're American-based then, "next day" makes much more sense - forgot how early Nintendo likes to wake you guys up for some of their Directs and announcements!
What first party games do they still have to clarify on? Asking cause I can't think of a ton off the top of my head aside from like three games that would be shown, Princess Peach, Luigi's Mansion 2 HD and Paper Mario Thousand Year Door
I will always love MVG but the synergy between Nate and John is just very fun to listen to. Great video!
Glad you enjoyed!
Great video, Nate!
Great podcast as always Nate🎉
Removing the joycons would be a really bad move. Replacable controllers on a handheld and being able to use them as two controllers are big points. Makes it easier to replace the conteollers and to use them for things like ring fit. The reliability of the stick has nothing to do with the joycons themselves.
I'm very much against the idea of a single body handheld.
Man I don’t need a horizon looking Zelda but I would LOVE another shot at a more realistic OOT style Zelda
You're crazy if you think they won't have joy-cons again IMO(although hopefully way more ergonomic). Dropping the joy-cons means killing off stuff like Switch sports, Ring Fit adventures and a host of other motion controlled titles...I really don't see Nintendo dropping such a valuable revenue strand.
With current media assertion that Nintendo has internally pushed the release of the Switch successor, does this further lend credence to the belief that this year may mark a pivot of some titles moving to a "Nintendo Selects" budgeted tier?
I don't like to mention this because I don't care for VR, but redesigned Joy-Con for inside-out tracking would make sense if they are planning to make the next hardware (called Flip or something silly like that) have a mode where it is a VR headset. They could advertise it being used on a plane for a personal screen, multiplayer games where each person has their own perspective, etc. Back when the Flip was being designed, VR was the big thing.
This did not age well: “hey Nvidia, you good waiting an extra year” 😂
john's always a great guest to have on
I would normally say "they would never get rid of the Joy-Cons", especially with how widely used the split-Joy-Con setup is in games like Mario Odyssey, Ring Fit Adventure, Pokémon Let's Go, Skyward Sword HD, Switch Sports, ARMS, etc., _but_ this is Nintendo we're talking about here. There are many features the past five consoles had that are still unique to each of them, so they certainly could drop the Joy-Cons if they wanted to and use two sets of buttons and sticks if redundancy doesn't concern them.
I'm not a huge portable player myself so I could careless about the joycons but I hope as John mentioned that they feel more secured to the table/system when attached. I also hope the ergonomics of it overall feel more comfortable. The pro controller is more than fine so I hope they just keep producing the same one.
I use my joycon for most causal play. Precision control or fast play are on a pro. I think they keep the joycon idea, but no IR camera, better sticks, and proper dpad.
This was a very pleasant chat.
Time will tell what Nintendo has been up to.
Every Nintendo system ever has had a huge revolutionary change in the controllers, so I expect the Switch 2 will as well.
However, I think they will iterate on the Joy Cons in some wild way rather than abandon them.
This.
Literally all I want them to do is put an IR on the front of it instead of the bottom, and put a sensor inside the dock so we can have Wii-like precision with motion controls again
Always a good day when there’s a new Nate the Hate. Love it when John Linneman is in. He and Grubb are probably your best guests, other than MVG of course.
Thanks for bringing up Nintendo's approach to developing their own games. Sustainability and budgets is such an important problem across the industry ATM and no one ever looks at Nintendo for the solution (despite selling 1.3bn software units this gen).
I completely agree with John about the joy con wiggle - that’s the only reason I bought a switch lite. Still wish they would’ve done a Lite XL. Would’ve been no sillier than the 2DS XL
There is absolutely no way sideways joycon/tabletop mode is getting cut. Shit was a lifesaver back in college, both before and after having my own Switch when it came to burning time between classes with friends and even with complete randoms. Not to mention children in particular seem to get the same use out of it in practice as college students do 😂 tabletop mode seems to only be neglected by the way older crowd and gamers that only ever really play at home in their beds or on TV mode exclusively.
I'm imaging an 8 inch screen but on a clamshell. The lower half of the unit can contain the battery and all the internals so the top being just the screen is light and thin. The controls and gimmick will exist in the lower half. This way the total width of the unit is basically still 8 inches. And no thumb cramp because there is plenty of room for controls. The sticks can be counter sunk to an extent to not hit the screen when closed. Maybe the bottom will have a mini screen, or a dial, whatever innovation gimmick they're going with.
Miss MVG when he's not on but also always a treat to hear John Linneman
In college, i didnt have a tv for my switch. Handheld mode wouldve been alright, but tabletop is what put the console over the top for me
About time Nate.
I think March also will be the reveal month for the next Nintendo system. I still have a little hope they could release a OLED model with HDR as well. I guess that’s further down the line. But they could also wait to release the system until March 2025. Showcase it with GTA VI some months before. Showing how powerful the hardware is and that it can compete with PS5 and Xbox Series-X.
The issue with HDR is something Nintendo can solve, HDR on Tv's and monitors is extremely varied in quality where as for a handheld they can solve that problem when undocked at least.
Great discussion as always. No Joy-Cons would be a pro for me. Liked the concept but honestly never made much use of it. It’s true that even on the OLED they feel kind of wobbly. Not in a super bad way but it’s noticeable.
Nintendo could take the joycon grip and turn the screen into a controller.
Having the left and right sides on the joycon grip slide on like joycons.
Also having gyro sensors in the controllers for games that require tilt controls.
In regards to ram power draw with lpddr, the range of capacity isnt really going to have much impact on power draw.
The GA10F is 1 GPC of Ampere, ampere has a dual memory controller per gpc, with one gpc it can take 2 64 bit busses. Which means 2 ram units. Whether thats 2 4GB for 8, 2 6GB for 12, or 2 8GB for 16, its not going to have a large impact on power draw compared to say, 4 blocks at 2 GB for 8.
Its not great for bandwidth, but it gets capacity at a low power draw.
Give it some power and have a Performance mode and a Battery mode. This gives Nintendo hours of playtime and 3rd party some head room especially if you are going for long generation cycles. Nintendo said that their biggest regret was not riding the success of the Wii longer.
You know I know Nintendo LOVES innovation and originality... don't get me wrong, I do too... But has this stopped Sony from selling WAY more units with just an upgraded numbered console? I don't think people realize how sellable familiarity is. There is a reason why PS5 still sells like crazy despite having very minimal innovation (outside of copying Switch Joycon tech in the Dual Sense and Fast SSD). It still sells, despite no real massive appealing exclusives, and you can see that is true based on console sales vs software sales.
I think they're going to make larger joi-cons, it's what the switch is. I use the tabletop function a lot, and I've seen others do it regularly. Tabletop mode will make even more sense with a larger screen.
I feel like the next Direct would need to *at least* be a Mini, especially for the long-rumored Fire Emblem Genealogy remake getting announced & given a release date.
A genealogy remake does seem very big for a minI direct
A remake for a mini isn't really that big.
There is one advantage of Joy-Con: If/when it fails, while you add a point of failure, you kinda don't - you swap potential issues with the buttons/sticks for a potential issue with the connection between the console and the controller.
Edit: Just to add to it. I don't have a Pro Controller. I don't need a Pro Controller. I think that, not knowing how the DualSense works, I'd rather have a split controller than a monolithic one. Maybe the VR-designed controllers are the golden standard (though are way more expensive than the regular ones), but the Joy-Con is a joy to laze around.
If they ever overhaul it - say due to not many people using it sideways, I wouldn't reject them having a more grippy feel, and maybe more traditional (in a sense) controls. Yet with one singular new feature: A haptic surface over the ZL/ZR (or the L/R, depending on how you do them) analog buttons to be able to have a new way to interface in, say, menus. Like a scroll wheel, but without the physical components that will make it bigger and more prone to failure.
Wunderbar!
Extra ram does NOT automatically mean extra battery drainage. More ram can help battery life in MANY situations. With more ram you can load more assets into the game faster and then allow the system to throttle down and save some juice
You guys got on to the topic of table top mode. I personally have used table top mode a tonne, BUT I avoid single joy-con play like the plague. Instead, I've always done it with 2 8bitdo SN30Pro controllers.
Also I personally don't think Nintendo is getting rid of Joy-con, I just think they'll update them to be more ergonomic and remove the ability to be used as single joy-con on their side.
The way I think they'll revise the joy-con is to go the route of the Hori split pad pro and have no battery, Bluetooth receiver or gyro in the joy-con, instead they'll be in the grip base
What's up fellas
It's time!!!!!
I think Nintendo will allow 'next gen patches' on Switch 2, since that leaves compatibility issues in the hands of other people to make those mistakes if they mess up. I also feel like Metroid Prime 4 is knee deep in a no-win scenario right now, since it's caught between multiple systems and a prolonged development timeline, having to serve more voices than they normally wish.
John from DF! And Nate! The dream team! I mean, ideally MVG would also be here, he's cool too.
Regardless of the next system being a super switch or not, I doubt
Nintendo is done with gimmick systems
I’ve been waiting for this one
2023 was definitely a good year for Nintendo…dang it’s crazy how 2024 is way different, but that’s why I’m trying to see what they have left to bring to the table at their direct that’s coming up
Joycons need improvement not to be removed. I understand the rationale behind removal but think removing a key distinguishing feature when people are asking for things to distinguish the switch for many not just kids is foolish. Removable controllers is still a very limited feature in this segment of product
It seems that Nintendo really likes releasing new generations of game consoles in September and November, Only difference is the OG Switch in March. (Specifically North America)
*NES - September 1986
*SNES - September 1991
*N64 - September 1996
*Gamecube - November 2001
Wii - November 2006
Wii U - November 2012
Switch - March 2017
*= Segmented launch based on region. Using North America as it relates to me and it's Nintendo's biggest Market currently.
This is interesting. Let’s see how it is in Japan.
Famicom was 1983
Super Famicom 1990
N64 1996
GC 2001
Wii 2006
Wii U 2012
Switch 2017
Basically from the N64 era all consoles released in the same year and more recent generation even on the same day.
Interestingly enough the Nes is the only console that has been around for 7 years before the next gen with the Switch only being the second console generation to last this long.
That being said when talking about handheld, the gameboy is a record holder from 1989 until 2001. That’s completely ridiculous. 12 years.
Although if you could the gbc as a new hardware generation in 1998 the og gb would have “only” had 9 years.
The DS also had a 7 year life span and the 3DS “only” 6.
The Nes, N64 released in summer in Japan.
Handhelds GB, GBA, 3DS released in spring.
Long story short, anything is possible.
The next gen Switch could come this spring, this November or even next year’s March as the Switch isn’t hurting at all. Hardware sales are slowing down but it has a whole another year in it if Nintendo wants to.
I think that they really tried to get the Switch ready for November 2016 but couldn't. In early 2016, BOTW had a 2016 release date before being pushed to 2017.
@@Dairunt1
Possible.
Question is, are they ready now for their next gen?
Thing is we don’t know. They might still be struggling figuring it out. Or they’ve had it ready for a while.
I really hope that the hardware isn’t that outdated though..
I guess RTX 40XX series features like DLSS 3.5 and framegen would be a stretch but I’d take 3080 mobile like performance any day. But I guess even that would be wishful thinking.😅
Regarding the eShop: it's basically designed to be navigated on a smartphone instead of on-system.
Which is a problem.
@@worthless_opinion somewhat: I only ever buy games on my phone, and it works fine. Nintendo might not be wrong to just assume most people are doing that.
Nintendo isn't assuming anything, they have the data on what's is bought and in what technology. And no, absolutely not. The majority of sales is from the e shop on the console lmao. Majority is not using there phone to buy games.
@@tumultuousv I really doubt it. It is so easy on the website, versus the mess on the console, and everyone has phones. And yes, Nintendo would have data on that.
no.@@Parmandur
Hi Nate, I wanted to ask if Thesims4 is really coming to Nintendo Switch? with all this that has come out
A partner direct wouldn't be bad in all honesty, in fact, it implies that the Switch 2 reveal will be very soon.
It would make speculation ramp up 10x more than it already is, which is crazy
At least it would finally stop people who still somehow think all the Switch 2 rumors are bogus and we’ll never get one
Hey Nate, if Nintondo is getting rid of joy cons and make it a solid body, they would have to convince a lot of people first that stick drift isn't a thing anymore. Right now alot of people would just change their joy cons.
Is "Tabletop Mode" considered where you prop the Switch up using it's kickstand and playing? If so thats how I play when its not docked on my TV. If I bring my Switch to work and play on break. I'll play in Tabletop mode with my pro controller or multiple pro controllers sync up for multiplayer/Smash Ult, etc. Is this considered a different mode??? Because I never just hold the Switch in my hands like a DS or PSP and play.
Yes, that's tabletop mode.
Not having replaceable controllers is a bad move.
Having to send in your device just because a controller failed is bad UX.
Just because Valve, ASUS and co. are doing it doesn't mean it makes sense for the consumer.
I used tabletop mode a lot. It just depends on the game. It’s notably the best way to play Breath of the Wild because docked play lowers frame rate and goldmine the joycons close together makes it easy to cancel your sprint with a whistle.
I feel like a Partner Direct is unlikely. A Mini maybe, but they must have at least a release or two in April to May. They probably have at least one or two things for then. Also will probably need to talk about the second half a little bit. Unless you know something I don't.
Are Partners Showcases still a thing? If I'm not wrong it's just Directs and Indie Worlds.
@@Dairunt1The last partner direct was in June of 2022. So it wasn't crazy long ago since the last one
I genuinely hope not. Its easily the worst type of Direct
@@Torraduke I do feel a bit more welcoming to a Partner Showcase since the one in June 2022 was actually pretty good.
Best footage of Sonic Frontiers yet, Pac Man World RePac, Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection, new info on Mario & Rabbids Sparks of Hope, & finishing off with Persona 5 Royal, 4 Golden, & 3 Portable FINALLY coming to Switch.
If they keep it backwards and update it, the switch one could eat up all the previous generations games they want to put out all the way up to 360 PS3 third-party games, then the switch to could focus on the Xbox one forward games
Nate any idea if the Switch 2 will have heavy hitters in its launch lineup? Like a new 3D Mario or Mario Kart possibly?
I would love to see touch controls on the new switch and also slightly beefier joy cons. I’m not ready to have them built in yet. And also it would be very cool if we can remove the joycons and have the option to just use the touch screen controls
I just want a stable framerates, analogue triggers, achievements and quality games from Nintendo! :D
You’re describing Wii U with the GameCube controller USB adapter.
This was a good episode, but please have John back away from the mic a bit when he’s not talking. On headphones it literally sounded like he was breathing in my ear lol
Tabletop mode was a cool idea until you actually try it and realize the screen is way too small, especially when the screen gets split in half or quarters for Mario Kart
switch 2 screen will be 8 inch; even larger than oled 7 inch; og switch was 6.2 and not great to begin with would agree there but oled already was fine for split screen
I would love for dual screen gaming to come back somehow, but I'm not convinced it will be in the Switch 2 (hope I'm wrong).
Also, I've used tabletop mode more than handheld mode. It's great when I'm on the road and can't hook up to a TV.
What ever nintendo does about the control is the most exciting part of the next gen.
To consider that dual screen approach I do see switch lite being able to work as a control in that way I mean how much would a new control with a screen cost vs the price of a switch lite when it gets reduced. This way nintendo has the pro control that's more expensive and has bells n whistles while they sell you switch lites for $50-60 as player 2 controllers....driving switch sales along with next gen
The real is back!!!!
Im thinking 12gb. 16gb is the goal to set but 12 would be a good compromise. Considering a lower base resolution of the internal screen you wouldn't need that high of res on textures thus saving on memory. Dlss Can do the rest of the work about as good as it can for tv play.
Also internal storage is a consideration devs are getting spoiled with how fast storage is now and compromising storage for memory would be possibly a bottleneck. At the end of the day the main crucial aspect will be balancing the system cause that is what it needs most.
I would kill for them to do away with the joycon, I loved the build of the switch lite so much
I really liked how nintendo switch oled model the way is designed i really do enjoy playing in table top mode and handheld mode motion controls gyro aiming are my favorite way to play plus a pro controller the nintendo switch 2 will be similar to the original but with a kickstand higher clock speed and more surprises
I play mine table top all the time, but with the pro controller
I do not expect them to get rid of Joy-Con especially if there's backward compatibility I think it introduces issues.
There was me thinking this was going to be Nate’s ‘mea culpa’ episode after throwing grenades into Twitter…
Nate, I think youre wrong about the idea (paraphrasing) "Nintendo has always been about their own IPs selling their consoles." (Not exactly what you said, but in that vein). NES, SNES, really aoltbeir successful consoles were because of their own great IPs and third party supoort. If it was inky about Nintendo's own IP, then the Game Cube, Wii U, etc wouod have sold well if it was all about Nintendo IPs.
If they would focus on 360 games from third-party and PS three third-party games and porting them, they wouldn’t have problems
nate the mate!
