![]() Some tweaks to the ergonomics - if Nintendo does indeed stick with the Switch’s core design - would also be appreciated with the Switch 2.Īnd we’d like to see a boost in battery life, as the Switch tends to run out of juice in a handful of hours when running games like Breath of the Wild. 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. There’s precious little in the way of hints about Nintendo Switch 2's features, but we can apply some educated guesswork. 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. But we're a little concerned the Switch 2 might not use OLED panels as standard. There's a chance Sharp could be referring to another as-yet-unannounced console. If that is the case then it could be disappointing as the Switch 2 may come with more dated screen tech than the Switch OLED. However, Sharp, which makes the current Switch displays, has said it's working on a new LCD panel for a "new gaming console" - that could be the Switch 2. 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.

Metroid Prime is the first entry in Retro Studio’s acclaimed trilogy of games in the Metroid series and judging from the Remaster’s announcement trailer, it doesn’t look like, on first glance, that this is a straight up port. A physical edition of the game will follow on February 22. As not only is it official that the 2002 Gamecube title will be coming to the platform in remastered form, but the game is available right now to download. But it looks as though there was a reason behind Nintendo’s insistence on keeping it under wraps until the very last second. Though given it remained just that - a rumour - with no official announcement, many remained skeptical as to whether or not Nintendo had any plans on bringing the original Metroid Prime to Nintendo Switch. Well, there were whispers rummaging of its existence online for some time.
