[Vandal] Exclusive new details about the next Nintendo console (Bigger than Switch, smaller than Steam Deck, joycons will be magnetic)
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
No source would know anything regarding Nintendo's first-party software. They're referring to third parties
I can't imagine a reason they'd let you touch it but not see it?
That would essentially mean there is something new, surprising and very visible on the console that they don't want known or leaked yet, but that it can't be felt so they're ok with people gripping the controls and seeing how everything else is.
But that doesn't make much sense, I can't come up with a single idea of new tech that would fit that.

i have tiny hands and find the switch joycons extremely uncomfortable, to the point where I get hand cramps after 20minutes playing monster hunter rise
they are thin and flat/angular at the sides with tiny face buttons 🤷♂️
the deck feels even more comfortable than my xbox controller
Yeah, that sounds like an extremely Nintendo thing to do.
Along with finding a new way to sell you more Joy-Cons.
In case anyone forgot how utterly bizarre that was:

It's not that much bigger if you're using after-market Joy-Cons that have full size analog sticks.
More importantly, it's a lot more comfortable in the hand.
I guess I'm one of those oddities that found the Steam Deck to be very uncomfortable.
Steam Deck is much bigger than a Switch OLED. Especially thicker.
Ok, this actually looks ridiculous 😂
This is such a bad name when "Switch Up" is right there waiting to be used by a concept like this.
Based on the actual podcast transcript shared earlier in the thread, it's just that Nintendo doesn't want to give a competitive advantage to any manufacturer. They probably have lots of demos like that over months to different manufacturers, but CAD files will eventually be released at the same time for everyone.
On the one hand, yes actually. On the other hand, it's literally one letter away from Switch U 😰
Where is this coming from? I've never heard about this name being rumored.
A YouTube survey had it along with the PS5 and Xbox series X.
would be cool if they did a Switch 2 Pro Controller. I like the current Pro Controller but I'd be interested to see if Nintendo could make a better one.
If they're right about the Switch Pro controller being forward compatible that means once again, no analog triggers.
After using the Steam Deck for so long the Switch feels like a dinky baby's toy when I pick it up.
But this dude see AND touches with his hands. Straight up cheating, get rekt ninty
I hope the engineering on the magnetic connection is really well thought out. The eventual Joycon wobble in portable mode really bugs me with the original Switch and I sorta feel like magnets risk worsening the issue if it's not done well.
It will be smaller than the SD. But it can't be as small as the Switch 1. At least for the first revision. I guess they have to put a big battery inside, that's why they make it bigger.
I mean....it's probably fine, if it's 3 to 3.5 TFLOPS while docked I think that's okay.
The rumors saying it would be very highly clocked on 4nm and hit like 4.5 TFLOPS just never seemed realistic to me.
But isn't it pretty much confirmed that it's using a 8nm chip?
It's gigantic in comparison. I'm not even saying that's good or bad. But the Steam Deck is firmly in my category of _much bigger_ and your pictures show the same thing to me. Almost nobody uses after market joy sticks. I'm fact I've only ever seen this here on resetera never irl
Sure hope those magnets keeping the joycons on are are strong, otherwise I could see that being a big pain butt with the controllers constantly popping off.
I feel like magnetic might mean there's still something to slide into, not just stick em on the side. But the locking mechanism won't have moving parts idk.
