whatever the heck is that

switch 2 design got leaked. whut is this. it's been ages and this is what they came up with?

It's a more souped-up Switch. It kind of makes sense it wouldn't look THAT different. Then again I guess a lot of people were expecting it to look a lot more beefed-up, which makes sense.

I wonder though if its hardware capabilities are SO much bigger than those of the original Switch if it would hopefully make up for this. My opinion-I'm not really unhappy with it; I didn't expect it to look THAT different. However I will be honest I did expect it to be much-beefier than that. Maybe twice as big. You know, like how the "New Nintendo 3DS XL" was so much bigger than original 3DS. Like, I was wondering, is that why people are a little bit upset about this? I suspect so, but I don't know for sure.

Maybe it's a combination of it not looking much more advanced than the original Switch and not looking bigger and beefier?

I don't really care about how it looks, I just care about the games it plays, it being comfortable to hold and the Drift problem being taken care of

My first instinct obviously is to doubt it's legit. However, if this is actually what the Switch 2 preliminarily looks like, it's good that it got leaked. It means Nintendo has the chance to take in feedback and adjust the design accordingly.

Well, the hardware specs for the Switch 2 are already out there, thanks to shipping data. Without getting into fancy tech terms, the specs suggest that when handheld, it'll be about as strong as a PS4, whereas docked it's more like the PS4 Pro. For reference, both the Switch and Wii U were about as strong as a hypothetical PS3 Pro. In short; yeah it looks like it'll be much stronger.

Also I think the specs suggest it'll be like 20% bigger than the Switch (at least the screen is). Wheter that's substantial or not, I guess that's up to you

if you don't feel like clicking, the leaked photos are legit but it's an older revision

I'm ok with this, as long as the controllers have no drift after like 2 months of use.

If this condition isn't satisfied, I'll be plunderin' on me future Steam Deck, yarrr harrr

If the design ain't broke don't fix it.

Like yeah the drift is a problem but the fundamental shape and feel of the system was just fine if you ask me.

Finally once this console is out we can experience the cutting edge technology of 2014 gaming.
