It is a problem that Switch 2 may be able to solve if the background compatibility of the new hardware can improve the performance of initial conversion games in this process. However, if done, this is not a magic wand where handling and output immediately gives older games more than a new digital shot. As Sony's PS5 ProIn which games need bespoke patches from developers to use hardware stronger, the same thing may be the case for conversion 2 to upgrade and convert 1 game.
That will put the responsibility to developers to ensure that games can take advantage of any improvement that Switch 2 offers. But if done well, avoid Sony's mistakes when its PS5 Pro patches initially create games. look worseThe opposite compatibility can turn Switch 2 into a definitive home for at least two great generations of gaming.
Improve screen resolution
That is Resolutionmany. The current switch has a 1280 x 720 pixel screen in a handheld mode, up to 1920 x 1080 when anchored and exported to TV. Switch 2 needs to go higher, in all sense. In a world of Hand -held gaming computers Such as Asus Rog Ally X With 1080p screen or Lenovo Legion Go Provides a maximum resolution of 2560 x 1600, Switch 2 needs to provide at least 1080p Full HD in handheld mode.

Docked, 1080p needed to jump on 4K, 3840 x 2160 pixels. If you Buy a new TV Over the past five years, it is almost certainly built for that resolution, so anything less than Switch 2 will feel ancient. I can see some flexibility in this point, though. Meanwhile, True True, 4K will be very good, perhaps unlocked with some additional processing power integrated into the dock itself, this may allow the control panel to display in Ultra HD, which Nintendo Rarely playing digital games in the same way that Sony or Microsoft does, 4K upgraded can be widely accepted for most players. The PS4 ProBut the switch 2 is rumored to be almost equal, and have achieved some impressive results 4k upscalingSo it's great to see Switch 2 matches this benchmark.
Bring communication applications
Switch launched without any communication applications and throughout its life, Nintendo only adds a few more like YouTube, the Service of Anime Crunchyroll, Hulu in the US and Niconico in Japan. This partly depends on the intentional strategy of Nintendo that the switch Are not A multimedia device In 2017 That it was built to become a world -class gaming device, which means we want you to first play games on the system. However, it is undeniable that access to online applications on the dashboard is convenient.
It is not an idea that is strange to Nintendo. Wii U has an original Netflix application and Wii even has a specialized BBC IPlayer application in the UK. Wii U has also seen Nintendo through integrated television services with it Nintendo TVII The tool combines content providers into a portal. The need is also there, with Fan still Request online transmission services on existing switches.
Although Switch 2 still has the ability to pursue the ideal that is a world -class gaming device, but the larger screen of the upcoming control panel makes it especially attractive when imagining shows or movies or movies Your favorite while moving. Nintendo should not really exclude it.
Many new games
This is the big one. A major factor in the success of the initial switch is the failure of its predecessor, Wii U. About 47 people bought one (OK, More than 13 million peopleBut it is a different way compared to 101 million Wii owners or 146 million people and are counting people who bought a switch), which means a lot of people have missed some really great games. Launched on the dashboard. Those who like Mario Kart 8, Super Mario 3D World, And Captain Toad: Treasure monitoring Provide Nintendo for one Swimming pool To switch to switch, where most players first discover them.
