Transcripts

there's a few new big new Nintendo

switch 2 leaks floating around online

that we have to discuss today because

some of these are very exciting and

actually tied to shipping data info

which AKA that means we're not going off

of somebody's opinion that's claiming

that they have knowledge of this thing

and you hope that that knowledge is

accurate uh rather this is like

verifiable data Tai to Nintendo and

components that they are ordering for

their upcoming console that we know to

expect them to announce officially

within this fiscal year AKA by March of

2025 and these first couple pieces of

information we're going to go over are

about as concrete of style leaks as you

can get when it comes to new hardware

now there is also some other claims

online stemming from fam board

suggesting that this new console may

have a very different capability or

maybe even gimmick that you could call

it that many of us weren't expecting I'm

putting that second portion of the

leaked news which we will distinguish

between the two very clearly when we're

talking about A and B but I'm putting

that second piece of information in a

much lower Regard in terms of my

expectations on it being official for

sure info that will be related to the

console's ultimately release but there's

a lot to unpack today before we get on

the same page with everything make sure

you like subscribe and turn on your bell

notification to join some Nation if

you're new here and we have to first

talk about yet another shipping data

leak that has been being discussed

online with two different pieces of

information related to Nintendo switch

Hardware the first of which has to do

with a 60 watt charger that will now be

included in the Box as opposed to the 36

watt that is in the original switch and

that's going to have some big

implications not only for just console

charging in general and how fast it goes

but also how high you can clock the

processor when it is in docked mode then

the other piece of information tied to

it has to do with a secondary fan that

it is believed will be placed in the

dock as you can see this following post

over on R gaming leaks and rumors which

reads switch successor may have a cooler

on the dock and a 60w charger apparently

the successor to the Nintendo switch

will have a 60 W charger for comparison

the switch one as a charger with a

maximum of 36 WTS and will have a cooler

in the dock in fact it is not yet known

where the second cooler will be placed

but it's unlikely that a portable

console will have two coolers so it will

probably be in the dock so first let's

unpack this charger piece and the

implications around that 60 W obviously

is significantly more power than 36 and

that would mean that the console is

going to be working with a lot more

power when it is in docked mode or even

just for the simple convenience factor

of if you've ever been trying to play a

game and maybe your switch has get close

to dying you want to charge it but you

only have a limited amount of time to be

near a plug in theory this should go

significantly quicker for charging in

terms of recharging the console via fast

charging than it would with a much lower

wattage charger like we had in the

original switch so just a nice quality

of life thing where if you're on low

battery you can get your console back up

to an acceptable level of battery quite

a bit quicker with a 60 wat versus a 36

watt the bigger implication of this

though is the amount of power that the

dock will now have access to in terms of

pumping through through to the console

to up things like the clock speed for

the hardware or the CPU and GPU within

this console and that's what translates

to better game performance and we

already know all of the claims that

something along the lines of a t239

Nvidia chip customized chipset with

Nintendo optimized games mind you I've

seen some reports recently being

circulated online about this thing being

compared one to one with steam deck and

maybe the CPU is clocked slightly slower

than the steam deck that's coming from

mors laws dead which may or may not have

good info on it the one massive thing

that's being left out on all that

reporting is the fact that even if it's

just raw horsepower a little bit

underclocked compared to the steam deck

which it's actually claimed the GPU

should be a little bit more sufficient

than the steam deck you're still

forgetting that you have new tools at

Play Straight from Nvidia the same chip

manufacturer that's putting the primary

Graphics chipset within this thing like

dlss Tech that's going to significantly

help whenever it comes to being able to

downgrading the native resolution but

yet upscaling it via Ai and having it

run way more effective

not to mention the fact that steam deck

is actually running PC games that yes

there are steam deck verified Games and

Things That developers can do to kind of

help it run more smooth on a steam deck

but we are talking about Nintendo first

party hardware and game developers

designing their game specifically to run

on that Hardware so there will be a lot

of additional levers that you can pull

to get better performance out of games

with a standalone console that's being

developed for directly from these

companies very different than the PC

landscape and the steam deck landscape

that you see kind of out there today now

the part two of the shipping information

has to do with that fan in the dock or

supposedly that's where it would go

because you wouldn't put necessarily two

major cooling fans within the switch

itself especially considering it's a

portable form factor and we do indeed

know that it's supposed to be an 8in

display and naturally a larger footprint

in general but not large enough for two

separate cooling fans so the the

speculation is is that this one's going

to go into the dock and on the surface

level that may sound kind of weird it

also May tie into the what I'm

considering a less credible leak that

we're going to talk about in a moment

but if you look at General like

Aftermarket accessories that claim to

cool down consoles with having a a fan

on the back of a laptop or something

like that it seems like when these

things are detached from the console

they really don't hold much value at all

in terms of actually cooling down your

internal thermals which is all that

matters so maybe there is some more

intelligent design from Nintendo around

this and something like when you dock

the switch you could potentially be

making direct Connections in that dock

with like the copper cooling system

within the actual system itself which

would allow that fan to have a much more

meaningful role to be able to exhaust

out more heat which would in theory also

let that clock speed and graphical

performance be that much better in

docked play which is really what I'm

excited about the prospect for with this

thing because I love to have the ability

to take all of my games handheld mode

but I'm okay with a little bit of a

visual downgrade when running in

handheld mode what I don't like is when

you're gaming on a 4K TV and you just

notice really low resolution textures

that just do not translate well to

Modern televisions that are larger and

you see performance hiccups and

slowdowns and dropped frames and things

like that this is all stuff that can be

very easily eliminated with enough

horsepower in the console and this is

going to be a massive Leap Forward from

what we have with the current family of

switches today by all accounts so

additional cooling would be a big win

for this system and it appears that a

secondary fan is in the mix to some

extent so that will be very interesting

to see if it is indeed placed within the

dock so that catches us up to speed with

what we know from the shipping

information but the part two and what

I'm considering to be the less credible

portion of what we're going to talk

about today is some claims floating

around coming from some fam boards users

that I don't know how well connected

these people are and I also don't know

where they're exactly getting these

claims from but there is some reason to

believe at least from these users and it

is picking up traction online that the

doc could indeed be capable of

connecting to the switch wirelessly

essentially allowing you to stream your

switch to the TV screen with your switch

in your hand almost chomecast or AirPlay

device style which again this is a very

interesting claim and it could lead into

the idea again with that fan that we

discussed if there is some more advanced

internals within this dock that is a

possibility that they need a fan to cool

down the dock because the dock actually

has something going on in there from a

chipset perspective so you can see this

next post over on rgaming leaks and

rumors which reads switch 2 might stream

to TV without a dock there's a rumor

floating around thanks to F board's

users Pablo and raccoon that the switch

2 could allow streaming gameplay to your

TV without needing to dock the console

hence the previous news about fans in it

similar to airplay or chomecast the dock

would be used as a wireless receptor

this could also bring back the dual

screen features we saw on the Wii U

while keeping the hybrid aspect

potentially opening up possibilities for

DS and 3DS game compatibility imagine

playing on a big screen while keeping

the second screen for inventory or Maps

now on the surface that doesn't sound

like a bad feature to have but it better

not be the only way you can play to a TV

cuz one I don't think we have latency

figured out to the level that we need to

in order to have a good native

experience on a TV through that

streaming solution and two that sounds

an awful lot like a Wii U to me and we

do not need a switch U situation out

here while I did love the functionality

and the game library of the Wii U it's

honestly not a gimmick that went over

well with fans and again this wouldn't

be a big problem if it's just a feature

within the switch but not the primary

way that you play in docked play and

that's where I would like to kind of

unpack this a little bit further because

I do actually see a world where you

could potentially have this as an option

but not the only way to do it so if you

are docking your switch to it's getting

the extra power boost from being plugged

in it's utilizing the cooling within the

dock and you're getting a much better

native gameplay experience when it is in

that mode however if you are in a

situation where you do want to use your

switch in handheld play kind of as the

controller but still be able to stream

your game to the TV you're going to have

the more handheld quality of visuals

because obviously the doc's not going to

be its own console on its own but you're

streaming it AirPlay or chomecast style

and that's kind of a stop Gap solution

for something like DS and 3DS gameplay

if it makes it to Nintendo switch online

which I believe will happen one day even

if it just comes down to Nintendo

releasing a touchscreen controller of

some sort and selling it as part of the

NSO benefit then they have some like

Wonky workarounds where you can Point

name your joycon at the TV to kind of

simulate the touch controls that way

like Nintendo will come up with a way to

do that I am confident but whether or

not this is it remains to be seen so

it's an interesting claim it's

definitely an idea that I could see

Nintendo implementing as an option but

again I'm not picturing this as like the

only way like oh now the switch 2

doesn't need a dock in order to play on

dock play no I think you would

definitely want to dock it when possible

for the best performance and maybe there

is some kind of cast option to the dock

even though the console is not

physically seated in the dock like we do

with our switch family of systems today

and it would be an interesting way to

solve for some of those touchscreen

issues if we are to expect DS and 3DS

games to be added into NSO eventually

that's where I really want to hear from

you guys at this point in the video what

do you make of all of this different

information do you think that we are

indeed getting the 60 W charger and the

fan in the dock for sure and what do you

think the implications of that are just

better graphics and visuals and a more

capable console at the end of the day or

do you think there's a different reason

for that fan in the dock and maybe that

second piece of information is indeed

accurate and the dock plays a bigger

part as a standalone component and you

can stream to it from your switch and

get your image on the TV that way and

are you thinking if that is a feature

like I am that it's going to be an

optional one and something you can do

instead of docking your console but

you'll have just that limitation of the

handheld quality of gameplay or do you

think that's primarily how Nintendo

communicates with the doc I definitely

don't see that happening for NextGen at

this point in time but I'd love to hear

your thought process if you do so 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 sunbro you've

been Nation thanks so much for watching

and I'll see you guys in the next video
