Quote from: hugh mungus on August 04, 2023, 13:40:34Nintendo isn't putting half a TB in a Switch 2 or whatever, especially when phone manufacturers aren't even doing 256 GB standard. This rumor is as useless and baseless as the rest that are spewed out here.

Game consoles need more storage than most phone users, phone manufacturers limit storage so they can upsell, and 512 GB is very cheap. The rumor could be true. The suspicious part is probably the screen size.

I quite agree with this. It's a humongous issue to only have even 64GB in the OLED, actually at this point in time in the Switch generation life, it was even a slap in the face, considering primarily the amount of games available for download at this point. And Nintendo is putting in people's face constantly to go the download way. If you're going to do that, you need to give people room in your console. Not bits of it. Keep the SDXC expansion idea as they're quite reliable. But put more space or at least give us the option to pay for one that has more.

I would be great if Nintendo could to come back to the days where they had a beefed up console. The last one that was on par with the competition was the NGC. People want an expensive Switch 2 and they will pay for it. Make 2 freakin' models for crying out loud, in this day and age, people will buy both.

The new upgrades for the new Nintendo switch 2 are great. There should be 2 kick stands on the back of the switch bc the og one only has one I own the og console. I do agree with everyone else the screen can be better and with an 8in screen it would need to kick stands on back of console. I personally love Nintendo I have played on every console Nintendo came out with over its long rumming experience. I prefer Nintendo over playstation and Xbox.

The storage don't surprise me especially if they are going for/toward PS4 and XB1 quality games. That's still only half the console standard of 1TB. 8in screen? That'll just smoke the battery I don't see it happening. They need to stay focused on on getting the CPU and GPU up to snuff and give us that shiny new patch for TOTK.

Give me a break - 8" screen on a 'portable' LOL!!

I think we are hoping for much better (+2x) GPU performance, equal or better battery life AND backwards compatibility with out existing cartridges/library.

More rumors about the Nintendo Switch 2 console have turned up, including some alleged details about some of the key specifications. Apparently, Nintendo wants to make sure the Switch 2 is seen as a next-gen console and not just a basic upgrade. Along with that, a report has claimed that Nintendo might announce the NG Switch soon but to a likely limited audience.
