Nintendo Switch 2 is getting bombarded by leaks and rumors from different sources. While it's too early to say that this console is coming soon, there is interesting information that could possibly appear once it launches.
According to the new leak from I'm a Hero Too, the Switch successor will be as powerful as Sony's PlayStation 5 (PS5). If this is true, then we could soon see high-resolution games on a bigger handheld.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake as a Potential Launch Title
One of the most electrifying revelations is the possibility of Final Fantasy 7 Remake being a launch title for the Nintendo Switch 2. Leaked information indicates that the game runs seamlessly on Switch 2 developer kits, delivering an experience on par with the powerhouse PS5.
Reports from reliable sources suggest that Square Enix, the developer behind Final Fantasy, effortlessly ported the game to the Switch 2 dev kit. While this hints at the potential for a launch title, there's still an air of uncertainty surrounding this exciting prospect.
Could Switch 2 Performance Reach PS5 Levels?
According to the leak, the Nintendo Switch 2 could match or surpass the performance of the PS5, thanks to upgraded specifications. This would ensure that Final Fantasy 7 Remake "looks and runs" as smoothly as it does on the PS5.
However, it's essential to bear in mind that the original release of Final Fantasy VII Remake on the PS4 in 2020 adds a layer of complexity to this comparison. The actual performance of the Switch 2 may fall somewhere between the PS4 and PS5, but it's a thrilling notion for Nintendo enthusiasts.
Switch 2 to Be VR-Capable
Another round of rumors revealed that Switch 2 could feature a camera function. This is quite speculative and evident in the way Nintendo handled the feature on 3DS and DSi.
Interestingly, a Tech Times report suggests that it will boast "VR capabilities." Instead of Switch 2, it will be named "Nintendo Focus," according to an unverified leaker Jonathan Bark on X (formerly Twitter).
Will Switch 2 Have Backwards Compatibility?
According to I'm a Hero Too, Nintendo has tested backward compatibility for select games. This would be a significant boon for existing Switch owners, allowing them to enjoy their favorite titles while transitioning to the Switch 2.
The fun does not end here since there are fresh rumors which pinpoint that the next Switch console will be shown at Gamescom 2023.
It's easy to believe in these reports but take them with a grain of salt for now. We can only assume and predict unless Nintendo has already set the date of the official announcement about Switch's successor.
In mid-August, prominent industry insider Zippo claimed that Switch 2 would be the most expensive console under Nintendo. The source said that could possibly cost $399 on its debut.
