Punching Up, Episode 7 | Switch 2 Leaks... We're Concerned
Added 2023-08-08 16:00:11 +0000 UTCAfter what feels like years of speculation, we finally have our first substantial leak about Nintendo's next console. Video Game Chronicle has reported that the successor to the Switch is coming next year. While this is clearly exciting, there was also some concerning information in the leak. Nintendo could be reverting back to the LCD screen instead of the premium OLED screen found in the OLED Switch model. Additionally, it appears that backward compatibility is still up in the air. We delve deep into the details we currently have, along with a slew of other news items. Red Dead Redemption is coming to the Switch! Could Animal Crossing Legos be in the works? Also, is an Amiibo restock on the horizon? We have many questions, so naturally, this episode is filled with insightful speculation. Enjoy!

lol, I’m listening to this wayyyy late. But Gene, I did exactly what you said about the Wii U. Loaded it up with a ton of nice eshop games and now I feel setup and fully satisfied with my Wii U that I’ve had since 2013. I love the console.

2023-08-19 22:41:52 +0000 UTCI just realized FF13 is the only main FF not playable on PS5.

2023-08-11 22:07:14 +0000 UTCI've held out on starting to collect Amiibo's just because of how addictive of a personality I have. My plan is to do what I did with the Star Wars Disney Infinity figures and just wait until they are done putting them out and then starting to grab the characters I like lol.

2023-08-10 08:06:11 +0000 UTCPersonally I disagree with the point about it only needing a 720 screen. You can certainly tell the difference with 1080p at that screen size.

2023-08-10 07:54:43 +0000 UTCsounds like it's either kind of a difference or a huge difference, which is honestly good enough for me. if there's any improvement at all i'm down for it. getting it now.

2023-08-09 18:11:25 +0000 UTCMika's point about the cumbersome nature of Nintendos consoles is true, but I think it makes them more collectable when complete. The Wii and Wii U are frustrating because there are upwards of 6 pieces to a complete usable console. So many of the litte pieces get lost over the years. It sucks when trying to test a used console because there are many pieces that could be faulty.

2023-08-09 14:48:42 +0000 UTCDustin and Gene, the M Classic is fantastic and I use it for my Switch. It really makes a huge difference. Anyone playing docked on a 4K screen should consider it.

2023-08-08 21:45:55 +0000 UTCNintendo wants to avoid shortages? I’ll believe that when me shit turned purple and smells like rainbow sherbet.

2023-08-08 21:16:35 +0000 UTCSo you want to return to Animal Crossing? Check out a game called Dinkum only on Steam. Sales Pitch: Dinkum is basically if you took Stardew Valley and basically made it for the Animal Crossing fan. If you’re in the mood, don’t sleep on this!

2023-08-08 19:01:22 +0000 UTCYo, Nintendo, lay a remaster/remake of Eternal Darkness on us. My body is ready, my sanity…maybe not
