Transcripts

today we have to talk about an official

patent from Nintendo that actually backs

up a leak we talked about for Nintendo

switch 2 features because you might

remember a while back on the channel

there was an accessory manufacturer by

the name of mipad then we also had a

separate company take to the internet to

leak a bunch of information that they

knew about the nextg switch console and

essentially claimed that Nintendo

briefed them on the console for the

ability to get accessories rolling for

it but they were actually having to feel

the console through an opaque box and

they could not actually see the mockup

of the console but rather feel it with

their hands and they learned some things

about the dimensions they took to online

to make some pretty interesting claims

that actually detailed a lot of

information about the console and if you

were worried about any of that being

legitimate now not only do we have this

magnetic joycon feature actually

outlined in a brand new patent from

Nintendo but we also have seen this data

leak out via shipping documents over the

course of time which means Nintendo's

ordering these parts for their nextg

Hardware so that more or less in my

opinion confirms this previous leak to

me now that we have all of these

multiple data points of information so I

definitely want to walk through all of

that and also what was leaked out from

mobad cuz it's been a while and you may

have forgotten some of the features that

we discussed at that point in time and

there is also a renewal for a cartridge

patent that is exactly tied to the

switch one cartridge that leads many

online to believe that this is just a

necessary step that Nintendo would have

to do on the back end to allow backwards

compatibility from a physical games

perspective to take plays on their nextg

Hardware so we're going to get on the

same page with all of that before we do

make sure you like subscribe and turn on

your bell notification to join Suber

Nation if you're new here and we have to

first take a look at the patent mockup

that does detail the internals of a

Nintendo switch but we do not know what

model of course and Nintendo doesn't

have to be specific about if this is the

successor model or not but there are

some key differences from what the

internals have looked like in the past

compared to this one one of which has to

do with this magnetic force sensor that

you can see on screen that you would

only need to put in the console if

there's some kind of Mag switch action

going on which is the big thing that

people have noticed and beneath that you

can see the ambient light sensor the

temperature sensor but the big new thing

that is really being called into

question here is this magnetic force

sensor especially with that being

spotted and is new in this patent

compared to all of the previous filings

we have seen you can also see two

different slots above which should

reference a cartridge slot it's possible

that this would be an SD card but it two

separate slots and one says first slot

and what's not clear is if this is in

the same exact spot on the console

meaning like maybe you can put in a

cartridge One Direction and then also

put it in a different direction or if

there's just two different readers that

it connects to kind of like you would

expect with a 3DS SL DS situation when

you're popping in an old DS cartridge

into a 3DS it's still able to read it

even though the 3DS cartridge slot is

different that is very much what this

type of patent could be pointing towards

or maybe an Nintendo actually has to do

two entirely separate cartridge slots

again it's not clear how that's being

handled but that is outlined in this

patent you then also have one that kind

of breaks down the magnetic feature just

a little bit further and it does appear

like there is a lock and unlock

mechanism where it shows the magnets

connecting it seems like these joycons

for the nextg console should still be on

some kind of rail system but the mag

switches will essentially make it to

where there's not that give or that kind

of lower grade feeling when playing in

handheld if you're in the middle of

intense gameplay and you notice like

your joycons are kind of bending off the

console a little bit if you're just kind

of moving it back and forth or trying to

shake it a little bit you notice a

little bit of give currently this would

in theory eliminate that and make for a

much more secure connection it is not

clear though entirely that Nintendo will

still use a rail system it's also

possible that these mag switches when

enabled are just that strong that you

don't have to worry about any kind of

rail system in general so like the slide

on slide off thing isn't even a a thing

anymore but rather you can just detach

them when they're unlocked perfectly

from like pulling it away from the

console so interesting Concepts from

that front and then you can also quickly

see just a renewal for a patent for a

Nintendo switch cartridge which does

lead into the idea that Nintendo after 8

years essentially from the last time

they updated this patent just

coincidentally doing it now could be a

signal that yeah they're kind of getting

the back end of things ready for us

being able to purchase switch one

cartridges and also have them supported

in the nextg console so the magnetic

joycon thing and obviously the big win

that is we should be able to pretty

safely expect at this point backwards

compatibility obviously nothing's

confirmed until Nintendo says it but it

seems like there's enough writing on the

wall that we can pretty much safely

assume that Nintendo is going to allow

us to play our entire library of switch

games both physically and digitally that

is great news but this also ties into

like I mentioned the previous list of

leaked information from mobad because

now that we have shipping data from the

past and we have these patents and we

have all of these different renewals

happening that suggest that backwards

compatibility and the mag switches are a

thing both of these were claimed in the

mipad article so that's what I want to

quickly revisit and you can see the

following six pieces of information that

they outline in bullet points which

reads the switch 2 will continue to

support existing joycons and the Pro

Controller still equipped with Alps dual

access linear motors for HD Rumble the

cartridge slot for the switch 2 will

support backwards compati ility with

physical switch Game cartridges ensuring

compatibility with players existing game

libraries including digital versions

however the second generation cartridges

may not be compatible with the first gen

console which I don't know who would

think that they would but that's

outlined nonetheless the new version of

the joycon has a larger volume and the

sliding rail structure has been changed

to Magnetic suction the SL and Sr

buttons are metal buttons magnetic

suction is achieved through

electromagnetic suction technology

controlled by electric current it's

worth noting that in addition to the the

L zlr and ZR buttons on the side of the

joy-con controller a third button has

been added on both the left and the

right sides additionally below the home

button on the right joy-con there is an

additional function button the bottom of

the switch 2 will still feature a USBC

port for docking and the new generation

dock will undergo minor changes in

appearance while enhancing performance

supporting 4K resolution the new dock

will feature a dampening bracket on the

back allowing for greater range of

adjustable angles the screen will be

upgraded to an 8in display supporting

1080p resolution though again the more

data points that are uncovered online

that back up all of these previous leaks

and rumors that we've heard about the

system just gets me that much more

excited while we wait for Nintendo to

officially reveal it because yeah if we

have everything like magnetic attaching

joycons that are going to feel extremely

solid for the console additional buttons

on the backs of the console which would

might be very nice for the joycon and

handheld a bigger overall form factor

for the joy-con and an 8 in display

that's going to be all big win type of

stuff now we still don't know about the

display technology it seems like it's

suggested that it will be an LCD and not

an OLED that will very much feel like a

step backwards for most folks after

you've played on an OLED because myself

included the OLED is a massive massive

upgrade from the base model switch in

handheld play but what I would like to

point out is that we are not going to be

dealing with a 2016 2017 technology LCD

in this console like we did on the OG

switch like we are definitely going to

see it look significantly better in

terms of color brightness and everything

it supports but it is hard to match OLED

technology even if it's a very Nic

looking LCD but that's probably going to

give Nintendo the ability to three four

years into this next gen consol's life

cycle maybe give us that OLED model just

like they did with this switch so it's a

possibility that it's a feature that's

not there day one I would love Nintendo

to even if they had to throw an extra

$50 on the price tag bump it up to 450

but give it a little bit of extra memory

as well have a premium OLED model at

launch and you can choose between which

model you want if you don't play in hand

handheld that much you get a $400 price

point console and if you do play in

handheld and you want that OLED

experience you get a 450 price point for

the console but all of that remains to

be seen but the fact that everything

mobad has suggested here has just gotten

more evidence as time has gone on

unfolding makes me that much more

confident that this is legit information

and that also spells great news for

backwards compatibility and US physical

game collectors not only will it be

backwards compatible with like your shop

purchases and stuff like that but also

all of your game cartridges and I kind

of figured that was a no-brainer for

Nintendo on this console because one the

library of the switch is just too vast

and too awesome for Nintendo to just cut

it off because they actually have

Evergreen games that continue to sell 7

and 1 half plus full years since this

console has launched and they continue

to do serious numbers so one you want to

continue to sell that software in your

next gen console but two they've had a

really good track record with offering

backwards compatibility on their

handheld console cons specifically at

least with the prior model and I really

feel like the only times they've missed

is when they've gone through a massive

media shift in terms of how you actually

play the game if we exclude like NES

SNES and N64 obviously those are a

little bit different situations but you

go to the Game Cube and forward and

outside of like the jump from the Wii U

to the switch which was a media shift in

terms of how you read your games well

they've really done a good job of

supporting backwards compatibility at

least with the most recent system before

it so that's what I think of all the

stuff but now I really want to hear from

you guys what do you think of these

updated patents with Nintendo now

essentially outlining in their own

official documents that magnetic force

sensors are included and that we have

exact outlines of just how that

technology works and them updating their

official Nintendo switch cartridge

patent this late into the switch's life

cycle do you think that things like

backwards compatibility and magnetic

joycons are now more or less a lock and

do you think that the rest of the

information from the mobad article that

we saw an accessory manufacturer for

Nintendo switch is indeed real and it

has all of the legit info on the nextg

console and would you be happy to

purchase an LCD 8 in screen day one at

400 or you like me and you would

definitely like to see an OLED option

even if it cost you $50 more at retail

on day one but make sure you share all

your thoughts and feelings in the

comments down below before you leave

regardless if we agree or disagree also

make sure you like subscribe turn your

notification Bell and with that I've

been Sun brro you've been Nation thanks

so much for watching and I'll see you

guys in the next video
