Speaking of which, if the Switch 2 sticks to the same control scheme as the Switch, we’d like to see it improve the Joy-Cons so they suffer less from potential stick drifting and have analog triggers for more precise control in the likes of racing games. ![]() That would be a bit disappointing and would need Nintendo to have a stellar launch lineup for a next-gen Switch if it won't rely on its older and established game library.Īnd we’d hope the Switch 2 would work with existing Switch accessories like the Ring Fit Adventure and external controllers. Rather worrying, is a new rumor has claimed that backwards compatibility for Switch games might not happen for the Switch 2. There’s precious little in the way of hints about Nintendo Switch 2's features, but we can apply some educated guesswork.īackward compatibility would surely be included, especially given the appetite we’ve seen for such capabilities on the PS5 and Xbox Series X hopefully, running older Switch games on newer hardware would result in a performance boost and improved visuals. As such, this could be the biggest sign that we'll need a Nintendo Switch 2 sooner than later if we expect future games to keep up with modern resolutions and graphics. Early hands-on experiences have flagged a few choppy moments. With The Legend of Zelda: Tears of a Kingdom, there are concerns (at the time of writing) that the current Switch could struggle to keep a smooth frame rate. There are no rumors to support this, but we’ve got our fingers crossed. But hopefully, a boost in refresh rates would be good, say taking the 60Hz display and boosting it to 120Hz as seen in the best phones. On the display side, we can see the Switch 2 going for an OLED panel, much like that of the Switch OLED. Such a feature would be neat, but rumors around it have fallen quiet. This extra chip would be used to boost the console's power and video output when docked and connected to a 4K TV. There were murmurs of a potential co-processor chip to live in the dock of a Switch 2 or the once-rumored Nintendo Switch Pro. But we’d like to hope that Nintendo taps into enough CPU and GPU power to deliver a next-gen gaming experience. ![]() It would be difficult to guess at potential power or clock speeds. In fact, after a chaotic rumor tipping a Tegra chip based on Samsubg's 5-nanometer process node, which was then refuted by the tipster it originated from, we feel that the Nintendo Switch 2 will definitely have some form of Nvidia chip at its heart. But we’d still err on the side of Nvidia. We’d not be surprised if Nintendo got a custom chipset from Nvidia as well, given the success and scope of the Switch.īut advancements by AMD, as seen with the Valve Stream Deck, could put Team Red with an outside chance of providing the silicon for a next-generation Switch. We can expect Nintendo to stick with a system-on-a-chip from Nvidia, likely some next-generation take on the aged Tegra X1 chip found in the current Switch.
