I saw a NBC news video specifically about Switch 2. The analyst said it would cost billions and take 5 years for Nintendo to begin producing consoles in American.And that still wouldn't work as most parts are manufactured in Asia and would have to be imported anyway.
I don't think America has the right skills and resources to develop advanced microchips like Tawain and Korea can.
Granted, the location I visited was directly across the street from a major university, so you couldn't do better than that place in hitting the target market - AKA young adults who grew up playing Minecraft as kids. But both times I've dropped in they were packed and people were leaving with one or two of these Happy meals.
And they're actually kind of expensive. My son got one and it was $16 for one with a large drink and large fries. From what I can tell, that's a $5 surcharge for getting the box and toy. Anyway, good on them. Even in these turbulent times, McDonald's is apparently still a safe investment.
I was astonished to discover that Tokunaga-san’s team had already been conducting similar research. (Laughs) So we decided to make a prototype, but at the time, Switch 2 hadn't even taken shape yet, so the research was done on a Switch console with increased memory and an improved CPU. Because both teams had done so much research in advance, the prototype was completed in only six months, give or take.
They made the Switch Pro for employee use only. I can't. It was real the whole time.
(From Ask The Developer 17: Game Chat, Part 1. Hopefully not geoblocked.)
So why didn't they bother releasing a Switch Pro?
Is there a beer option?
Only with the Royale with Cheese Happy Meal in Paris.
I had no desire to visit a McDonald's in Paris though they seemed to be everywhere.
Agreed. They are in a tough spot. I am optimistic that in the end the US will get to import cars into Japan and the tarrifs with JP will go away. Just like with Australia, if they start to buy US beef and pork theor tarrifs will go away also.
What I don't get is how relatively cheap the Switch 2 is in Australia ($430 USD) it gives credence to the analysis that the thing costs Nintendo $400 to make.
The only people buying American cars in Japan already have them. And, similarly, no one is going to buy American pork or beef in Australia.
Nintendo are using the present economic comedy as a smokescreen for price gouging, there's really nothing else to it.
There's all kind of rumours going, they say the OLED dock design was for a Pro version as it has 4k output and other stuff.Looks like this team was just experimenting in house, the way Modders have with Switch 1. Over clocking it and adding memory etc.
Someone actually got Arkham Knight running fine on an OG switch modded.
The Switch 2 only uses Express cards.
My phone doesn't let me have expandable storage.
I hardly use the tablet.
I'm likely to keep my Switch 1 forever. Switch 2 is using emulation for Switch 1 backwards compatiblity. In the video below, MVG's (he worked with Nightdive Studios for a number of years) take away is that Switch 2 will not be fully backwards compatible, especially for third party games similar to how Xbox 360 couldn't run every OG Xbox game.

These cards weren't cheap. I feel like I'd have to raise the sales price then.
I left it too late to make the Wii to Wii u transition. Now my VC games are all locked on OG Wii.If you get switch 2, I'm guessing I'll have to transition my account over from switch 1.
Would I still be able to access my collection on switch 1 after the transfer?
I've always been curious and now they are becoming more accessible to Nintendo platformers I might pick one up when cheap.
It's always looked like Shenmue with beat em up sections? Is that right?
Apparently some sources are saying it runs at 120 fps.
We know it has a 2k mode, is 120fps for 1080p?
More exciting is that it may have a Diddy Kong racing style adventure tire mode. Nintendo are hinting that there's more to free roaming than we think. There may be missions, boss fights and collectibles.
Now final thought, this is an open world with individual tracks formed into one mass. So what happens when they add tracks as dlc?
Does the world become larger and larger with each track? Do they add regions instead that have several tracks within them and the free roam area becomes bigger?
What if they merge Mario platformer elements and make it more like Lego City?
Ivwould assume the world becomes larger. Exciting news about the game.
In a video, on the ocean someone drove into a ? Block inside a ship. You then started driving the ship.
Apparently you can also drive inside a lorry and start controlling it.
One more thing, I don't if you can do this, but because your cart can transform into a plane or jetski, could you freely change in free roaming mode?
Turn into a plane, fly over the world freely, land and transform back into a kart?
Even if you can't I imagine there will be a plane you can fly into and control. Then maybe you eject and parachute back down to land.
Didn't we see someone drive into an eighteen wheeler and control it?
