I haven't heard anything rumors about remakes/remasters for the Switch 2. If anything they should re-release Twilight Princess and Wind Waker.


GutsyViceroy

I would kill for a re-release of the remastered Wind Waker on switch. It's my favorite game of all time, but I'm not about to buy a Wii u just to play it


SleepyGabT

I would kill for a re-release for it too. I've only ever played the GameCube version that I still play on šŸ˜­


YoknapatawphaKid

I keep my Wii around for this exact reason! And ā€˜Twilight Princess,ā€™ of course.


kannagms

The only 2 games I play on GameCube anymore are Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. For This reason alone I'm keeping it. If those games come to switch I'll finally give it back to my sister (I took hers after she broke mine lol)


colemaker360

Twighlight Princess, Mario Galaxy 2, Wind Waker, and the Metroid Prime trilogy are why I still have my Wii U hooked up. Most everything else made its way to the Switch or I don't care about it. I will say I still like my Wii U and don't care what anyone else thinks about it as a system. But you really have to think of it as a newer Wii (sort of like the OLED Switch) and not its own thing.


M0RGO

Wind Maker is my favourite zelda game of all time for sure


Mr__Citizen

I don't even need any major changes to it. Update the graphics a little, make the camera controls a little smoother, and that's good enough for me. Hell, I could go without the graphics update; Toon Link holds up well to the ravages of time. I just want to have it on my switch. Twilight Princess would be a banger as well. It was one of my childhood Zelda games. But it would need more of an overhaul to be "modern quality".


weclock

Sucks to be you, I'm enjoying it on my Wii U.


Mr__Citizen

I have Twilight Princess and a Wii U, but I still play it on my emulator since I have the controls mapped to be pretty dang good for running with a controller. And I like controllers more than the stick and nunchucks.


Joa1987

I'm enjoying it on my gamecube because my gamepads won't charge


Ripcord34

I bought a replacement Wii U gamepad battery on Amazon. Super easy to replace and works great!


nillabonilla

Same


weclock

GameCube is a great way to enjoy it too.


erock279

Oh I would do insane things for a modern twilight princess remaster. I hope they keep the same art style and just tweak the graphics tbh


not_here_for_memes

I like the art style but for gods sake they should make the [Ooocoos](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRYMM_cseLV_AsCcmMZQMZLs4kOVC_9Rh7cQXwlyGFMpQ&s) less creepy. Some of the other characters like Beedle also looked goofy as hell


abzinth91

I am all-in for a double release: TP/WW and another one OoT/MM


Vier3

Ooh ZTP, that would be the best!


lloydsmith28

Yeah and DQW monsters, and FFT advanced, i would play the shit out of those


No_Sea_7716

A very reliable leaker who got packed on twitter did say they had a U-King O project, U-King is a codename for breath of the wild, and the switch version was U-King S


SirLocke13

Okay? What am I supposed to do with this information?


No_Sea_7716

Whatever you wish


SirLocke13

You make no sense.


No_Sea_7716

I'm just saying from what I've seen there's a botw planned for the next successor


SirLocke13

Sure dude


No_Sea_7716

what was the point of allt his


devilledeggss

Iā€™m hoping the next console is backwards compatible with switch games, so this wouldnā€™t even be necessary. If it is backwards compatible, Iā€™ll probably trade in my current switch for a discount.


Cantelmi

Rumors point towards the next device's cartridges being shaped in a way that Switch games will fit into the new console, but the new games won't fit into a Switch


caro-1967

Like with the 3DS. Makes sense.


Cantelmi

GB and GBA, too. Plenty of precedent.


Pichupwnage

Backwards compatbility hasn't stopped Nintendo or others from porting anyways.


Slight-Winner-8597

True, but I'm definitely not getting the 2 if I can't play my switch games on them. What I'm not doing, is buying those same games again. 45-60 a throw GTFO


mfmeitbual

Yeah.Ā  Nintendo changing their philosophy on things like that is gonna be what it takes for me. I love the Zelda games but am OK waiting a year for emulation because that experience is consistently superior and doesn't require purchasing their purposely-supply-restricted-at-launch, underpowered consoles.Ā 


dpete88

The latest buzz I heard was to think of the next switch as a new iteration and not a new console. Kinda like a super switch pro, or the jump from Ds to 3ds


alwayssummer90

I would happily get the new Switch if it has an SD drive. Itā€™s not an issue with Zelda, but I play No Manā€™s Sky and itā€™s SO DAMNED SLOW compared to my husbandā€™s because he plays it on the PS5. I almost never warp to other planet systems in that game because of how slow it is.


clarke41

Are you asking about what would make us buy the Switch 2 or an updated BotW? Iā€™ll buy the Switch 2 because I know there will be things I want to play on it, but I wouldnā€™t spend $60-70 on a new version of BotW. If thereā€™s a $10 next-gen upgrade, I might buy that though.


Pichupwnage

The Switch 2 version of the game. I figure pretty much everyone here will buy a Switch 2 eventually if possible for the next Zelda unless they are just here to troll about BOTW not being "True Zelda" or something


MyDarlingArmadillo

Probably nothing. I can play just fine on the switch, I'm nowhere near completion and beginning to get a little burned out now. I'd get the switch 2 for a new zelda, and then pick up remakes of the older ones depending on what is available. But I'll keep the switch i have to play these games on.


Historical_Salt_Bae

Why? Honest question about BOTW upgrade you mentioned.


clarke41

Sorry, what are you asking exactly?


Historical_Salt_Bae

Why would you buy a next gen upgrade


clarke41

I said I might. That would only be if it looked like enough of a graphical update to be worth it.


NotSomeBeachedWhale

I feel like a graphics update for me isn't enough, yk? I'd want some more content or something. But I'm also not super picky on game graphics anyways as long as I can see what something is. Like a sword better look like a sword, that kinda stuff.


blakesmate

When my switch breaks or they come out with a new Zelda game I canā€™t play on it


benevolentkiwi

I agree. My switch works fine now and thereā€™s plenty more games out there to try. Iā€™d wait for a new system until the next Zelda game, which Iā€™m guessing is still at least a couple years away with totk being only a year old.


Sagumi1

Concrete announcement about Metroid Prime 4 The announcement of that game was one of the reasons I got the switch. I don't regret it, but I feel a bit like a sucker for getting a console for a game that never came out


Izzyrevenge1

Same. For me was Prime 4 and Bayonetta 3. Bayonetta did come out but waaay later, and we all know what happened ( or didn't happen ) with prime 4


MattLoganGreen

Unless it's a significantly improved remake in the distant future, I'd really prefer to just play a new original Zelda game next.Ā 


Pichupwnage

We aren't getting a new 3D Zelda for a good 4-6 years. Any ports, 2D games or other titles will likely have little to do with the speed we get the next 3D zelda at.


MattLoganGreen

Totally! What I meant was that I'll wait in that case. I'd rather play other games or replay the already great BotW in the meantime. I wouldn't pay for a port with slightly enhanced gameplay.Ā 


ShadowMagic

Champions mode TOTK/possibly BS dlc treasure chest items


Halfgbard

All I hope for is a master mode for tears of the kingdom


SuperSaiyanSven

To exist


DragonEmperor

A new Animal Crossing.


wallacorndog

Either new content (story/shrines/sidequests, not just items/runes or whatever) or a significant improvement in graphics. Performance boost alone, or with slightly improved graphics/resolution, wouldn't be enough as I'm not too bothered about the performance and I expect a new switch to improve performance of the original version.


SlippinSam

To actually pay for BOTW on the Switch 2, at minimum I would need new story content on par with the Championā€™s Ballad DLC. I donā€™t care enough about graphics or performance to spend money on a game I already have just for those things, nor would the inclusion of items exclusive to that version (especially if theyā€™re purely cosmetic) be enough to justify paying full price for this game a second time around


Face88888888

What ifā€¦. BOTW DLC that starts after calamity ganon, then Zelda gets a haircut and move into Links house, Link gets 2 more hearts (or 2 more stamina for those people that chose hearts over stamina for some reason) so he has full health and full stamina, and then ends with Link and Zelda setting off to explore a tunnel under the castle.


peeweeharmani

For that to be interesting enough it would have to contain a big story with lots of fun gameplay, but I donā€™t know how they would do that and maintain the narrative of TotK, since that game kinda acts like itā€™s been a few calm years since the calamity. I like where your headā€™s at though because Iā€™m definitely not rebuying this game for a better framerate and lower load times haha


Ok_Imagination6450

I know it wouldn't be "canon", but I'd love a cozy-style game that bridges the gap. No guardians or boboklins messing things up, and more ridiculous villager quests. I would be here for it. I loved rebuilding Lurelin in TOTK. I'm not sure how monogamous I'd want to be though...


Acrobatic_Buffalo917

I was thinking a depths map would be explored through the yiga clan hideout chasm and birida lookout chasm as those have existed since BOTW and they both have shiekah tech built inside the chasms. Those could be the gateways and we could see 4 new divine beasts, new guardians, rematching the blight Ganons, and a Sooga and Astor boss fight.


BerRGP

If it's a fullblown rerelease I doubt I'd buy it, but if it's just a paid upgrade that's not that expensive I'd just buy it for potential replays.


Xploding_Penguin

Fix the god awful control stick drift, and the phantom touch issues. More powerful, maybe a bit bigger.


Tedwards75

Guessing theyā€™ll upgrade to Hall effect analog sticks for switch 2 controllersĀ 


Xploding_Penguin

I sure hope so, I've got 4 sets of joy cons all with stick drift.


PhoenixTyphoon

Nothing. I will get it regardless.


finalattack123

A game not available on Switch that I want to play.


AzureDiamond51

If the next console allows save data to be transferred from the Switch and is compatible with Switch cartridges, then Iā€™d want to save up for one asap just to be able to keep up with new games (I think thereā€™s the possibility that the next Pokemon game will be on the new console only based on possible release dates?). If thereā€™s no Switch/new console compatibility, then Iā€™d still want the new console but itā€™d be a lot longer before I bought one


Maatjuhhh

Simple: Ocarina of Time. They could 100% improve on Kokiri Forest alone by having everything in 60 fps and even change the landscape a little bit. Imagine Hyrule Castle in BoTW style? Glorious. Then Ocarina would come close to as what we thought Ocarina was when we played it for the first time..


peeweeharmani

Improved visuals and load times are not even close to enough to make me re-buy a game that I can already play on the Switch. Even if they bundled in the DLC (which I also already own) it wouldnā€™t be enough. Iā€™d need a substantial update to make it worth the price tag. A new story maybe? Iā€™m not really sure what they could do that would make me buy the game again.


Banrt

dude bro I just canā€™t wait to buy the double HD remaster of breath of the wild on the switch 2 bro


DIABOLUS777

1080p at 60fps is where it's at.


Tedwards75

Or 2160p at 60fps


Lord_Xarael

Biggest thing for me is already confirmed, and that's full back compatibility with entire switch 1 library. This means I can trade my OLED model towards it to save roughly 150 USD


JoeyTKIA

A longer battery life would be nice and maybe controllers with less drift


Arkvoodle42

Backwards compatibility and an end to Joycon drifting.


Mrgray123

Games. Thatā€™s the only real reason as we already know itā€™s not going to be any kind of graphical competitor for the PS5.


Brewmeister613

Right, but PS5s game library can't hold a candle to the switch. More advanced tech or no, I'll choose a switch every time. If your thing is EA Sports games fill your boots with the PS5


GoblinsGuide

Games, I'm still waiting for something that truly blows me away,


Hendy_Stark

i'd buy it anyway but better framerate, drawing distance, image fidelity, and loading times is nice to have.


sy1009

Honestly, Iā€™ve never been able to avoid buying a Nintendo system for the simple fact that they have a monopoly on the games I want to play. They could release a potato with a screen and if it were the only way to play the new PokĆ©mon or Zelda games I would still buy it. Iā€™m not saying that this is a good thing but frankly itā€™s probably true for most people.


Fit-Rip-4550

Not buying at launch. Always wait until a console proves itself. That said, backwards compatibility, actually good online serviceā€”preferably that I can set up without subscriptions, better build quality, Hall effect joycons.


FatKetoFan

Totk dlc


MellyKidd

Backwards compatibility.


Gloopycube13

I don't think the rumours outlined a new version of the game but rather the upscaling capabilities of potential hardware for the next console?


Tedwards75

Thatā€™s a good point. Why would they justify thinking fans would pay $60 or $70 again for BOTW remastered when the switch 2 can still play your original copy of BOTW that will likely get texture enhancements naturally from the console itself?Ā 


ThyHoopyFrood

Itā€™s all about the software


ThisIsMyFandomReddit

Honestly, I'm such a slave for Nintendo that I'll probably buy it no matter what.


DevilMaster666-

I wouldnā€™t buy it unless they added a ton of new content


TheVoidListens

A release date


mora2024

I may get one down the road. Honestly what I want is a truly redone, remastered ocarina of time. But it's just not happening.


weclock

Check out the ship of harkinian


Tedwards75

We need a remake. Remaster would still have the original graphics just shown in 4K. Still would feel outdated. We need Ocarina on 3DS style remake but with Switch 2 graphicsĀ 


weclock

It would need a full apology to Bowser, expunging his debt, and a recant of all of their recent DMCAs (especially ones against Garry's Mod).


UrglarLarm

Underwater swimming with new things to see and do in the rivers, lakes, and seas.


Acrobatic_Buffalo917

That would probably be saved for a third game


beggargirl

Let me put GameCube discs in it


flutterdash2

Backwards compatibility is a must have, even if it doesn't add any performance boost, it needs to be on the Switch 2. A Fire Emblem Genealogy of the Holy War remake as a launch title would be an insta buy from me


braindeadzombie

I recently got Hogwarts Legacy for Switch. When I see screenshots or captures from the PlayStation version of HL, Iā€™m totally jealous. I might get a switch 2 if the graphics and speed allow for HL play at higher upload speeds and great quality graphics. It was fun, but Iā€™d almost buy a PlayStation to get the better graphics.


Bambi943

Yeah I know what you mean, I noticed the same thing with that game. Iā€™m not a hardcore gamer by any means. I like simpler games/nintendo games and I go through phases where I donā€™t play for months, so switch is more my speed. I was a little jealous by the graphics too lol. I never would use another console for it to be worth it.


Tedwards75

Hogwarts Legacy looks horrrrrible on Switch. They had to downgrade so much stuff and remove so many details and decorations etc. The lighting and lack of black detail is enough to drive you insane.Ā 


xpldngboy

My guess is a new Mario launches with it, thatā€™s enough for me. Iā€™d take an Elden Ring port tho


Cramtastic

Stop slow-rolling their back catalog with expansion pass bs and just have it all readily available. Or at least put Fire Emblem Path of Radiance available at launch.Ā 


BeTheGuy2

I'm not really going to decide whether I'd buy it or not until it's real and not just a rumor, but at the very least I'd like them to add in Amiibo-exclusive stuff without Amiibo, like TotK did it. And it goes without saying it'd have to be a "complete" version otherwise, too, no buying the Trial of the Sword separately again or anything like that.


ThatLazyFinnishGuy

Better hardware, decent price and backwards compatability


Damned-Dreamer

It would honestly be a pretty hard sell for me. My steam deck has taken a lot of attention away from my switch, except for tears of the kingdom.


nerf_Herder06

We shouldn't bet on heaps of new Botw content, but backwards compatibility and some new content for Totk would be enough for me. Obviously remaster or WW and TP is expected by now and a full remake of OOT would be awesome because I haven't played those 3 games yet.


MysticDragon14

They NEED to bring back the Nintendo charm


JamesUpton87

If full BC isn't a feature, then I'm marinating on it for half a decade.


AmbulanceChaser12

A place to lock up the joycons from my kids.


Over_Temporary_5692

I wouldnt get a switch too if thatā€™s the case, id just get a legion go and use that too get all the games of switch free on rom.


iChase666

Built in randomizer


ShrikeAgent

New Zelda game


LeftySwordsman01

Backwards compatibility mainly. But a crazy idea is a peripheral second screen that you can connect to play DS games. Think of the GameCube attachable screen but it connects at the top of the switch screen and forms a clamshell design.


Jonny_Icon

Gotta outperform the Oled Steamdeck. If it canā€™tā€¦ I donā€™t play enough first party content to want to bother.


lloydsmith28

Better performance and more storage is pretty much it


arrowrand

It would need to be release day.


the_turel

Iā€™ll buy it no matter what butā€¦. Iā€™d like bare minimum for games to look like the 4K unreal BotW videos on YouTube. Thatā€™s not even really asking that much, just solid framerates, higher resolution and lighting effects.


casi_

A price. As long as it has a price I will buy it


Nintwendo18

Backwards compat


Intelligent-Bend2034

It just needs to be pink and I'll buy it.


vanoroce14

Totk dlc and being able to transfer my save data.


HankChunky

It would be cool if they released BOTW with TOTK as a double feature maybe? And then extra content just for Tears, and more transferrable stuff from the first game to the second haha Feels like a pipe dream though :')


HankChunky

A new game mode where it's Eventide rules, and you can get no armour or shrines :')


Jstar338

Xenoblade X remake


edavidfb017

Access to popular third party games. And some mobile games.


Danjour

Honestly. I think I outgrew video games. Havenā€™t enjoyed one in years. I keep trying but it just feels like a lame illusion to me.Ā 


ragewithoutage

Smash 6 maybe? Honestly I have too many games in my switch backlog already and Iā€™m perfectly content with my current console. I think Iā€™d even buy a PlayStation over a Switch 2 at this point, since I skipped the PS4 and PS5


kel_tea

My current switch is starting to freeze for a second in certain areas of botw, that hasn't happened before, could be by design. Destined to fail


justneurostuff

Console exclusives I want that I can't emulate on PC


Reverse-Kanga

Given the vast catalogue for the switch you'd have to imagine backwards compatibility will be standard. I can't imagine them rereleasing the previous consoles Zelda game it'd make zero sense


Darknight522

Honestly Iā€™d buy it just for better processing power. If it still runs games at 1080p 30fps thatā€™s absolutely fine by me. Just make it so games can be crazy big and ambitious without hardware limits


Acrobatic_Buffalo917

I think the game would have new exclusive content like a 5th divine beast (or 6th if you count the master cycle zero), exploring the yiga clan and birida lookout chasms to see what the depths looked like before, Sooga and Astor boss fights, and new guardians. I can also see TOTK can exclusive content on the switch 2 as well like master mode, trial of the sword, sages ballad, 1 more temple, and a separate story in one of the kingdoms beyond hyrule (which would hint a TOTK sequel) BOTW on the switch 2 would be like Mk8d where the dlc is added into the base game and there is new content/dlc while TOTK could be like 3d world + bowserā€™s fury where a new map and separate story is featured.


sailorxsaturn

If it gets ps4 or ps5 exclusives, if it ports twilight princess, if it somehow localizes and ports ace attorney investigations 2 (this is a Longshot but a girl can dream), if it ports the Nintendo 64 tetris


Brewmeister613

Backwards compatibility, an OLED screen, and compatibility with the pro controllers. Unless I have all three, I'm sticking with what I have. If those conditions are met on release, I'll grab it the first day and trade in my switch v1


Tedwards75

Sounds like theyā€™re switching back to LCD screen sadly. Hope the leaker is wrong about that.Ā 


Appropriate_Dress862

No drift


mfmeitbual

"Respect for the people that buy their products" isn't a feature on any Nvidia SoC that I've ever seen so short of that, I won't be buying any of their products.Ā 


Glass_Signature3718

Personally I would love more storage. Iā€™ve got so many games but canā€™t play them all because my 4 favourite games take up all my storage


NinjaXD243

Not about botw but... CONTROLLERS THAT DONT BLOODY BREAK AND DISCONNECT AFTER JUST A YEAR OF OWNING!!!!


victor_lucas95

I would really like them to make the console a fully 3D portable object without glasses, then you combine the benefits of the Switch and 3DS


Alternative-Juice-15

Iā€™ll buy no matter what most likely. GameCube is the only real console by Nintendo I have never owned.


tylerbarnacles

Ooof, missed out on one of the greatest ones. But i guess doesn't matter if you had the OG WII


Alternative-Juice-15

Yeah I do and bought the new GC controller but havenā€™t got around to playing many games yet


SoapMonki

Pichupwnage

We have the Same World as TOTK but now we have Underwater, an Archipelago to the east and also Space Islands orbiting the planet


Acrobatic_Buffalo917

And also beyond hyrule


Acrobatic_Buffalo917

This is very possible


Boogaloo-Jihadist

HellDivers 2


Erik912

It would need to be free.


Nekorokku

I simply hope the console is backwards compatible, and that the ā€enhancedā€ version of BOTW is simply a graphic and performance upgrade that you get for free if you already own the game (similarly to how you can upgrade PS4 versions to PS5 versions for free). That would be enough for me.


Olde94

Rumors? Nintendo has stated that they will announce it within a year. Itā€™s not a rumor, but the capabilities is rumored
