Nintendo Switch 2 Direct: Price & Power for Retro Gamers!
26Nintendo just revealed the Switch 2! As a retro gamer (currently enjoying some NES Super Mario Bros. 3), I sat down to watch the full direct and break down everything announced – the good, the surprising, and the concerning.
The Hardware: Upgraded 7.9" 1080p/4K screen, 120fps support, and more.
Key Features: GameChat voice system, Game Share streaming, the built-in camera (and potential issues), and the new Pro Controller.
Big Games: Mario Kart World details, Metroid Prime 4 performance modes, enhanced Zelda BOTW/TOTK, Elden Ring, Street Fighter 6, Cyberpunk 2077, FF7 Remake, Yakuza Zero Director's Cut, plus new exclusives like "The Duskbloods" (FromSoft's Bloodborne-like?!), a Kirby Air Ride sequel, and Donkey Kong Bananza!
Nintendo Switch Online: GameCube games are finally here! Wind Waker, F-Zero GX Online, Soul Calibur 2 & a wireless GameCube controller!
The Unanswered Questions: Where are the pre-orders? And the PRICE!! I discuss my take on the $450-$500 price, potential tariffs impacting cost, and $70+ games.
