Really? no one wants a sequel to a game that has 97 on Metacritic and sold 30+ million Units? Did they throw you off a building when you were born or something?

2) It will not feature DLSS
3) It will have full physical and digital backwards compatibility will all Switch games

Easy.
Switch 2 will be a portable with an HDMI out (they'd be stupid not to continue that btw)
1. Mario Kart (even if its a port)
2. Mario 2D Platformer (easy to put together and considers that nostalgia factor)
3. Mario Party (or some sort of community game, like Switch 2 Sports etc)

- Launches in 1H 2024, new MK and TOTK Upgrade among the launch window (> 6 months) games - is fully backwards compatible with Switch, but doesn't come with an OLED screen
- Despite being sold out everywhere for the first couple of months, will fall behind significantly in comparison to original Switch sales numbers. Mainstream consumers don't see a reason to upgrade for the lack of meaningful new features/gimmicks/ways to play. Some might even still confuse the thing with the original, can't be bothered to read the "2" on the box
- All rumours of Nintendo reviving long dormant IP like F-Zero are wrong. Nintendo continues to shit out one Mario and Zelda game after the other

It will fail just like the Wii-U, Nintendo is out of gimmicks to stay afloat, this is the beginning of the end.

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.

Switch 2 'upgrades' for games you already own will vary on cost (but between £10 and £20 depending on publisher)
Will have 32 gig on board memory.

Anything less than full backwards compatibility - meaning both physical as well as digital - would be a severe disappointment.
Also, I don't expect Switch titles to be ported over, like BOTW and TOTK or whatever, because why would they do that if Switch 2 is backwards compatible? Maybe some remaining games from the Wii U era, like Xenoblade X or Zelda TP and WW, but other than that, I doubt it.
Also also, I very much doubt Metroid Prime 4 is going to be a launch title. It's very likely Switch 2 is releasing in the first half of next year, and we've still seen fuck-all.

Nintendo has been very good at announcing stuff close to release recently though. We didn’t know about Mario Wonder or RPG at all until recently and they’re both out in a few months.
Wouldn’t surprise me if we see Prime 4 alongside a ‘Switch 2’ reveal trailer with a launch within 6 months.

Going by the Nintendo cycle means that their next console will be a flop.

- Joycon2's $50 a pop

Until Nintendo confirms, I am assuming that Switch 2 is NOT BC. Greater than $399, and your joycons and pro controller are Not compatible. But for your suffering you do get GTA VI, FFVIIR and COD. During Switch 2 lifespan.
1.) Metroid Prime 4
2.) Mario Golf ( just as Mario Tennis Wii U was the base for Metro Tennis Aces. Mario Golf Super Rush was the base for Mario Golf Switch 2). Releasing the first Spring/Summer Switch2 is on the market.
3.) Capcom is always at or near launch. Resident Evil 4, Monster Hunter, or SFVI all make sense. Take your pick.
I’ll go Capcom Vs SNK HD remake as my wildcard. Similar to how Ultra SFII was on Switch, and SFIV was on 3ds.
Other Wildcard… Xenoblade Warriors.

Patch for the last pokemon game so it can run at a locked 60 and while not looking like trash.

I would also expect them to do this. There was this video from MVG that is interesting to watch.

Switch sold 130M. That’s a lot of people to alienate by not allowing BC.

Yup, it was handed back to Retro in 2019 as well, I think 4.5 years is a reasonable time for them to have it ready.

Games that look like ps4 / xbox one games graphically
"Remasters" of switch games
Online will still suck

That will be fucking awesome
New Open World 3d Mario based on evolution of Bowsers Fury
TOTK Port
Metroid Prime 4 (Dual release like BOTW)

I actually thought it needed a sequel badly, a big problem of the original is under explored game mechanics and a sequel could have really pushed that Game style like Galaxy 2 did making potentially the best 3d Mario, however its been too long for that now, that should have taken place like 2 years ago now its time for the Bowsers Fury Evolution Mainline Game.

If Nintendo is 'out of gimmicks to stay afloat'.... Why would they make their next console a new gimmick entry over an iteration?

For the Switch launch Nintendo put effort into getitng games from Bethesda. I think this time they'll put effort into From Software and/or Bandai Namco Studios.
Mr Reasonable
Completely Unreasonable
1.Backwards compatibility that somehow runs worse than on original switch games. Nintendo rush to find a solution.
2. Solution is to buy all your old games again.
3. Games priced at £$€90 - discount of 5% if you own a title on Switch already and rebuy in the first 6 months after launch.
EDIT: Seriously, I hope it has a cartridge slot that takes Switch games and that they get a processing boost - no slowdown, resolution boost for dynamic res games would be most welcome, if that's likely, I'll grab one straight away.

Yeah, just reading your prediction instantly got me thinking of the Skyrim reveal during the Switch reveal showcase.

1. It will be the same concept as the original Switch with minimal changes.
2. It will be fully backwards compatible with original Switch games
3. It will launch with a “B Franchise” (In terms of popularity/Sales, not quality) game as its major launch line title, probably Metroid prime, and a game that is essentially a minigame collection.

They will eventually run out of gimmicks lets not forget how the Wii-U failed hard with its Ipad gimmick. I doubt the Switch 2 HD will garner enough interest just my opinion. The last gimmick they could try is a Nintendo VR but then after that they're all out.

4. Call of Duty back on Nintendo

With the Wii U, Nintendo was still trying to compete for the home console market. With the Switch, they found a way to merge their dominance of the handheld market while allowing them to still exist within the home console market dominated by PlayStation. If they literally just made a beefier Switch and called it a Switch 2, I suspect they'd find continued success in the niche they've carved out. Valve's Steam Deck is their biggest threat, and it's not even in the same postcode in terms of success. I'm not seeing any reason Nintendo don't just continue to print money for another hardware generation.

They have had successful transitions from GB to GBA and from GBA to DS however.
