 I swear someday. I'm gonna get tired of talking about Nintendo switch to probably like Five years after the damn system comes out because today we have some more information for you about Nintendo switch to now as I noted over on X formally Twitter man, it feels weird saying that look all of this stuff needs to be taken with a grain of salt Some of it is just some more predictions coming from insiders and Nintendo insiders in particular But some of it's actually report information the actual news reports on stuff around Nintendo switch to today Well, if everything timestamped down below so you can kind of go by the sections because there'll be three sections to this But remember all of it is technically unverified information. Nintendo has not announced the system Outside of the fact that it exists. They did say back in 2021 that Nintendo accounts We're gonna be forward compatible to Nintendo's next-generation device coming out in 20 xx and Nintendo commented on rumors the Nintendo switch to last year which Confirmed the Nintendo switch to exist just that maybe Every single rumor report out there around it may or may not be accurate Nintendo's wording around it was pretty much a denial without denial It was kind of weird But you know what we're not here to talk about that because we have to talk about the new stuff presented today And this first little tidbit is just a fun conversation point coming from Andy Robinson the creator of video game Chronicle in my opinion One of the most reputable news sites in the world for video games and here's what he had to say I'm expecting a DS to 3ds style Transition for Nintendo's next console Maybe it ditches joy cons and adds another gimmick, but the portable slash doc core Remains now this is a fascinating take for Several reasons the chief among it being that whole DS to 3ds transition 3ds was a very much an iterative system But it did come with that big quote-unquote gimmick in the glasses free 3d Which they later released versions of the system without because it turned out for a large chunk of the population 3d, you know the glasses free 3d even the 3d where you wear glasses Gives you headaches and a lot of other issues and it turns out certain age groups like certain young children really shouldn't be Consuming that kind of content anyways sort of a oversight by Nintendo at the time and the most popular version of the system Typically ended up being the ones that you didn't have 3d or if you had the 3d effect a lot of people just put the slider to off So look, we don't know what that means for this system. Of course. This is just his expectation he essentially is saying this is going to be an iterative system and Yeah, whatever this gimmick or whatever new thing is probably won't be a game changer or a massive deal Nintendo will make a big deal out of it. Remember how big a deal they made on a HD rumble But it might be more of a HD rumble style gimmick rather than something that fundamentally changes the game now The sex person we're going to talk about is none other than Necro Felipe. He is a known insider But also he runs a Brazilian website called Nintendo Universo He's already been the source of several Rumors and reports over the past year and he's had several accurate details out there now He's got stuff out there about Nintendo switch to last year as well Which is one reason to pay attention here because he clearly has some inside sources on this sort of information So I wanted to dive into his predictions even though these are just predictions Some of it is based on information. He's actually already reported on So let's just dive in and take a look and you're seeing over here his post But we're gonna go down to the translated version again. This is translated by Google So, you know take that for what you will it might not be a perfect translation But he says how much fuss surrounds a forecast made by an analyst, huh? I'm with the doctor circuito stuff This is what I made clear in the article and yet people took it as religion I'm gonna make the prediction myself. It doesn't mean it'll be something absolute So he says he thinks it'll be announced in March and launch in June More powerful than a steam deck. That is a nice claim I'd like to see more claims like that just to give us an idea of how powerful this machine might be it will continue to Be hybrid it will have improved joy cons So unlike Andy Robinson, he thinks there will be joy cons till it will just be improved It'll be backwards compatible with the switch one Improved UI and here's one of these sort of out there's gonna make a lot of you guys happy if it happens Themes and music a lot of you guys want that menu music a lot of you guys want themes He's like hey, that's one way this thing could differentiate itself from the original switch He says it'll have support or he is hoping or predicting it'll have support for DLSS Wi-Fi 6. Thank you 12 gigabytes of RAM, which that is something he's actually reported on before HDR hey second time we've seen that brought up and initially with 256 gigabytes of storage Again something that he has been on the forefront of reporting last year He thinks it'll be at a suggested repo retail place of our dollar 3599 again, that's $99 us He does say that the main lineup for the launch window of the system. He feels like will be 3d Mario Pokemon and Metroid so probably Metroid Prime 4 he says this is a prediction not to treat this as something special And yes, the prediction does contain information that he has Presented in the past as inside information, but that means it's not necessarily new It might be new to some of you who maybe didn't catch those videos last year because you were avoiding all the Nintendo switch to talk in 2023 and you're paying more attention now in 2024, which if that's the case, I don't blame you, right? Like you were just wanting to enjoy your switch you wanted to play your tears of the kingdom You're Mario wonders your Scotland Violet DLC and whatever other games chose me Maybe you were one of those few people who bought WarioWare and wanted to play it So I understand and maybe you just avoided this stuff last year But now that we're in 2024 the year most of us expected the system to come out Then yeah, maybe now you just learned this stuff for the first time I find a lot of this to be interesting obviously talking about the Nintendo switch to and it's possible improvements like 12 gigabytes of ram Is really about what we want? We'd love to see it up to 16 gigabytes But we want this thing to have at least 12 256 gigabytes of storage still might be actually kind of low But I guess at launch if you're keeping costs down while also maintaining support for up to 2 terabytes worth of micro SD cards Maybe they even give us multiple micro SD card slots that could be one way as well To combat the fact that 256 gigabytes look we're getting call of duty in the future And that's going to take up like half the storage on its own But hey, I'm just really excited to see some of this stuff out here and again These are just more predictions But we have some actual news as well and when I say actual news again still treat this as a rumor This is unverifiable by anyone but the actual source But this does come from Necrophilipe again and remember I sold you he also was a news reporter and This app happened yesterday when he was reporting on the Dr. Serkin Toto stuff and he threw some new information in there That is quite fascinating to talk about and this is about release timing and manufacturing So this is the article here and it's been translated by Google into English So it's normally in Brazilian Portuguese anyways coming down here. You'll see this is all about the Dr. Serkin Toto You see the title the analysts predicts. Yeah. Yeah, right. So this is about the Dr. Serkin Toto This is what we talked about yesterday But here is where it gets fascinating according to information obtained by Universal Nintendo itself Assemblers now, this is a key point. This is assemblers not not the core of manufacturing right so the core of manufacturing is making the chips making the screens making the parts for the system, okay? So he's not talking about the parts being made that's actually rumored to have started last November where parts manufacturing began but Assembly hasn't necessarily begun yet. Just making all the individual components So he is saying that assemblers contracted by Nintendo should began their mass manufacturing process on the new system During this quarter. So this quarter is literally January February March So that's literally gonna be happening. It's according to him his report this quarter So they're gonna be assembling these things in mass. That means the components are already being manufactured Again component manufacturing was rumored last November. This is different assembly manufacturing is That's usually when leaks start to come out for manufacturing lines because they're getting all the components in and actually putting them together You guys remember we had things like the switch light back plate got leaked and stuff like that So maybe expect a few Manufacturing leaks over the next few months But he also says according to our sources an announcement of the new system Should be made by Nintendo during the first half of 2024 now I know right no shock the first half of 2024 literally goes through the end of June so Giving us basically the early to summer window to announce the system is casting a pretty Wide net and this really fits in the expectation of most of us There wasn't very many of us that felt like you know if this thing was coming in September or even November that Nintendo would wait till July or August to talk about it right most people thought by the end of June at the latest is when they would announce it if it's actually coming out in 2024 but still it's just nice to have further. I want to say confirmation, but further Information I suppose out there suggesting that Nintendo will be announcing the system in the next six months now Another thing I want to bring up and this I wasn't planning to do but I do think it's noteworthy Remember how we said there was a chance there might be a January event Showcase in the Nintendo switch who made me just a teaser trailer or whatever well the source on that was actually Zubi tech and Zubi tech is a PlayStation Insider who is followed literally by some of the upper brass at PlayStation and has had Some pretty fascinating stuff come true over the years and it's worth paying attention to especially if you're a PlayStation fan Who likes to have insider slash rumor information? But I wanted to reach out and see if he had heard anything else or if he still thinks there's something happening this month And here's what he said. I said hey Zubi tech He's still hearing something about Nintendo happening in January smiley face and he says last I heard Haven't heard anything sense. So basically according to the last thing. He has heard it is happening in January and one thing I like about Zubi tech is the transparency here He didn't have to respond to me He you know is a bit of a PlayStation Homer But he chose to hey realizing Nintendo accounts are paying a bit of attention to him because of that report he made He's not trolling people with that report He's standing by it and saying hey it's still the last thing I heard I haven't heard anything since meaning that he hasn't heard it's been cancelled or moved or anything He's still standing by the idea the system could be teased in January now Again, this doesn't mean it's actually going to be teased in January and yes This would if it was it would still fall within first six months of the year first half of the year right? January is still part of the first half just the beginning of it So it's quite fascinating to see if this ends up coming true I know some people are trying to not have that expectation. You don't want to get too hyped. I like the hype here responsibly One thing I do think we're gonna get for sure in the first few months here is you know Hey a Nintendo direct right and we'll talk about that because we have some potential Possibilities coming up here for the first Nintendo direct of the year So we're gonna be talking about that in a future video But today this video here anyways was focused on all of this switch to information you guys do with this stuff What you will let me know if you appreciated the time stamps in this one Especially since we had so many different like sources and so much different information popping around from predictions to Leaks to inside information to whatever you want to call this stuff again Make sure that you take this all with a grain of salt keep your tinfoil hats on my tinfoil hat actually got crushed by a Box, I is that a good thing or a bad thing? I'm not sure yet. I catch you guys in the next video I'm testing my microphone make sure the levels are good. Oh Man Unique New York new you know, man Unique New York unique New York. You knew unique New York Why my voice was so bad
