Return of the ‘Powerful’ Nintendo

Nobody knows exactly what the specs of the Nintendo Switch 2 are going to be. However, not a lot of people are going to be ‘that’ bothered. The reason for this is the original Switch has killer software. Nintendo has been kingmaker in regard to how it’s utilised its IP. If Nintendo does the same with the Nintendo Switch 2. Then expect to see even more success. However, I do think that the return of the ‘powerful’ Nintendo beckons.

One of the reasons why I think the Nintendo Switch 2 will be substantially more powerful now is because of the competition. There is a lot more handhelds out there now vying for your attention. I think where Nintendo will come in with the Nintendo Switch 2 will be interesting. Because ultimately, it’s going to want to be powerful enough to compete in a market where third-party support is going to be critical to the long-term viability of the platform.

Now, I am not saying we’re going to see the biggest leap in handheld technology from Nintendo. You can all chuckle at that. However, do expect something that is competitive because it’s getting into the ring with many other handhelds. Handhelds with many feature sets. Of course, the Nintendo IP will sway the majority as well as backwards compatibility and playing your games at better ways performance wise. That’s going to be Nintendo’s priority going into a new generation where everyone is going to be vying for your screentime.

That and the fact that it’s obvious that Nintendo has to make sure that it has a product that people are going to be happy with. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if we see various things from Nintendo that make it even easier for you to ‘play your way’.
