Andrew Webster: 我认为Switch 2的发布,虽然信息有限,但它确实存在。屏幕更大,Joy-Con有所改进,但其他细节我们还不得而知。这与我们之前预期的Switch 2基本一致,就像PlayStation 2之于PlayStation一样,只是换了任天堂来做。 从硬件角度来看,Switch 2的改进符合预期,但缺乏令人惊艳的创新。 虽然我们只看到了一个新的马里奥赛车游戏,但考虑到Switch的销量和游戏阵容,这并不令人意外。 关于游戏兼容性,任天堂表示Switch 2可以运行Switch的实体和数字游戏,但并非所有游戏都能兼容。这可能意味着游戏开发者需要做一些额外的工作来支持Switch 2。 总的来说,Switch 2的发布视频更像是一种生活方式的展示,而不是对硬件的全面介绍。 Ash Parrish: 我对Switch 2没有特别的期待,所以它的发布让我感到满意。它符合我的预期,没有惊喜也没有失望。 虽然Switch 2的发布视频中只展示了新的马里奥赛车游戏,但这可能预示着Switch 2的性能提升和多人游戏体验的改进。 任天堂在信息披露上非常谨慎,这可能是为了避免重蹈Wii U的覆辙。 Switch 2的成功与否,很大程度上取决于游戏阵容的丰富程度以及对现有Switch玩家的吸引力。 David Pierce: 任天堂无需重新发明轮子,Switch 2的发布视频表明他们已经取得了成功。 Switch 2的发布视频更像是一种声明,表明任天堂在游戏主机市场上的领先地位。 任天堂没有必要在硬件方面进行革命性的创新,因为Switch的销量已经证明了其成功的商业模式。 Switch 2的成功与否,将取决于其游戏阵容的丰富程度以及对现有Switch玩家的吸引力。 Richard Lawler: 任天堂的发布视频略带被动攻击性,他们似乎在说:‘Switch 2来了,你们这些傻瓜也会买单。’ 任天堂无需详细说明Switch 2的性能,因为消费者会自动购买。 任天堂擅长用更少的资源做更多的事情,我不希望他们为了追求更强大的性能而改变这一点。 Switch 2的成功与否,将取决于其游戏阵容的丰富程度以及对现有Switch玩家的吸引力。

Shownotes Transcript

David Pierce and Richard Lawler are joined by The Verge's Ash Parrish and Andrew Webster to talk about the Nintendo Switch 2 launch — all the things we know, and all the things we don't. (There's a lot of both.) Then The Verge's Adi Robertson joins to talk about the latest machinations in the potential TikTok ban, plus a Supreme Court hearing about adult content that might just be about the future of the internet. Finally, in the lightning round, David and Richard talk about Patrick Spence leaving Sonos, the Blue Origin launch, Drake's latest beef with Kendrick Lamar, and more.
