I hope so. But we were told we'd see the Switch Pro around CES back in 2020!!!

I don't see any point in a Switch 2, just making the same again but slightly better is no different from the competition, I bet it will flop.

Agreed. People flipped over that rumoured IR sensor on the side of the joy con, getting their hopes up that you could use it as a mouse! WOW!!! .. All I could think of was, Nintendo would NEVER try to make a console where you had to sit at a desk and play FPSs with a faux keyboard and mouse. I REALLY hope Nintendo don't just do a "but with more power". Have they ever done that? Gimmick the shit out of it, Ninty.. Gimmick it to hell and back. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

I wouldn’t mind just a switch with more power to keep the frame rate up in Zelda!

My bet, its just a DS -> DSi, Wii -> WiiU etc. same thing with a tiny upgrade so they have a reason to test out a new anti piracy method.

That Mouse functionality is apparently a thing, then.. .. That feels really un-Nintendo like to me. I hope it's something other than what it appears. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

I wander if there will be a game released that will make me want to buy one this time around.

A mouse feature, while not excitingly new, would be useful for fps and strategy. I much prefer using the mouse on no man's sky on the pc, than I do with the joysticks on the switch. I mean I manage but would have been cool to have a mouse option. Hard to know where they can go with switch 2 that is too radically different since they ditched the DS and made rlthe original switch both the TV console and the portable console in one? It kinda looks like the change from the DS to DSi XL than the Wii to the Wii U. Was there something you were hoping to see? -=-=- Andy H 8-bit games at www.hewco.uk Cartoons at awful.ovine.net Ovine at ovine.net

You're playing No Man's Sky in Handheld mode, and decide to disconnect the right hand joycon to be a mouse. OK, Now What?> -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Disclaimer : I'm not being "Mr Jay doesn't use a mouse any more because he sits with a laptop all the time and only ever uses a trackpad so doesn't have any experience with a mouse and no longer understands how good they are." I'm totally "Mouse = FPS" I've barely played any FPS's over the past decade of laptop/trackpad only, and .. DAMN, I've missed mouse-based gaming. BUT.. That Wiimote Pointer was SO good. And it didn't feel like "sat at a desk playing with a mouse" I kinda felt like the IR sensor on the right joy con was going to be for that purpose, so you could flip it around and suddenly it's a Wiimote. Really disappointed that that didn't happen, and would be even more so if we just end up going down the "best when sat at a desk" Mouse route. .. Also, it's not very comfortable holding a JoyCon like that. Or is that just me? -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Guess we'll find out. Having played a lot of my old Wii games over Christmas, I wouldn't mind a wiimote experience from the switch but that would be on TV thing. Hard to imagine how you could use that in handheld mode, certainly not pointing at the screen. If I was using a joy pad as a mouse, I'd probably have the switch on my knee or coffee table with that huge stand. Not the weedy thing you got of the current switch. Hats off to you being able to use a track pad. Takes me twice as long to get anything done with one, and I end up with hand and wrist cramp. Happy to carry a small wireless mouse and also love using a pen for the last 10+ years on my tablets and laptops. I wouldn't mind Street pass and stuff like that bought back. Haha. -=-=- Andy H 8-bit games at www.hewco.uk Cartoons at awful.ovine.net Ovine at ovine.net

Speaking of pens.. I wonder if it might've been better to put the sensor on the pointy-tip corner of the joycon, so you could use it more like a pen?

*grabs Joycon* Yeah.. If I grab the joycon and try it on its side like the S2 seems to be, that... I can feel that hitting my wrist/RSI really quickly, but if I tip it to be like a stupidly-chunky pen, it actually feels REALLY good in the hand. I can easily click the shoulder button, and (if I bother to trim my nails) the Y button is also quite easy to tap in this position, too.

Now that's a good idea. I also found it was comfortable holding at an angle on the edge, if you know what I mean. And finger on the shoulder button. The new joycons are larger which might change things. I hope they haven't done something stupid where the cartridge slot is only for old switch games, and new switch 2 games are download only. Something insane like that would make me think twice about getting one. -=-=- Andy H 8-bit games at www.hewco.uk Cartoons at awful.ovine.net Ovine at ovine.net
