Switch 2 is a social machine. In the second iteration of the Nintendo console, the computing power capable of multi -worshiped multi -person game. The recent C Joy-Cons button allows you to immediately join the group chat with screen playback options. Extensions in the Nintendo Switch online application will add dimension to elderly titles, including sharing autobulids The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. As the producer Kouichi Kawamoto in Nintendo put it Ask a programmer Update, the development of Switch 2 was inspired by memories of “playing games together as children at a friend’s home or in a student salon, in which everyone brought their own consoles.” The clear goal is to bring the community to Switch 2 without friction, which will be protected for all age groups.
The jump is harmonious on paper and, based on film material in Switch 2 Direct, scary existence as practice. Inspired by one of the decisive experiences from the early 1920s, in which many of us were sequesified in our homes, playing Animal passage: recent horizonsNintendo has intentionally or not, optimized switch 2 to the next global closure.
According to Kawamot, work on Switch 2 began seriously in 2019, and early focus was put on an improvement in software performance by modernizing technology. But soon the development became involved in the Covid-19 pandemic. Lockdown protocols forced Nintendo teams among millions and millions of others to work from home. The frustrations experienced by the team during the work of configuration led to one of the main functions of Switch 2: GameChat.
“Then we used the video conferencing system to check the software that we have developed with our team, but the screen division function built into the video conference system allowed us to share one game screen at once,” says Kawamoto in an interview with a programmers’ query. “So each person we put the game screen in front of the camera instead of the face. When we did, we felt as if we were all in the same place, each brings our console to play together, which was great fun. Based on this experience, we proposed to add functions to Switch 2, where people can share their game screen with other players.”
As shown in Nintendo video released on Thursday, GameChat looks exactly like a combination of disagreement or enlargement. After receiving the notification of the invitation of GameChat from a friend, the player simply hits the C button to open the net with many of the winds, which allows you to continue the game, while their friends play and talk there and talk back. The neckline shows up to four people participating in the conversation, playing games individually or together in multiplayer spaces SPlatoon 3 AND Mario Party Jamboree. Players talk to each other using the MIC Console MIC and can activate the video using the recent accessory of the Switch 2 camera. If for some reason the Switch 2 player had to stay at home without contact with people for two to 12 months, Nintendo has them covered on the social front.
In many respects, Nintendo is not behind schedule for the game. Discord is right there, but even before the ubiquitous social platform Microsoft tried to have a similar connection when he launched Skype integration for Xbox One in 2013, enabling impressions similar to the event. Nintendo’s dream of rapprochement with distant friends during a remote game is also preceded by GameChat; Wii had accessories Wii Speak Mic and few people who bought Wii U, had the opportunity to call friends with chat. But GameChat can be the purest collision of the community and play on the console, and one with more protection for children thanks to the wall in the gardens list of friends of Nintendo. In the era of Switch 2, the distance will not separate friends.
It is far from the vision of the original switch. Nintendo revealed that the console in the live trailer 2016, which emphasized the capabilities of the hybrid console. Players could go back to the couch to play a recent Zelda, or can also go through Hyrule literally anywhere else At airports, in parks, he crouched with a picnic table in a beer hall with friends. These memories of “Games Together as children” were also part of Switch DNA, with an emphasis on breaking the walls of the living room. In the case of Switch 2, Nintendo withdrew in the room and wants us to bend closer to the TV.
Nintendo has not abandoned the hybrid nature of the console and it will never be, but the aesthetics of Zoom GameChat is a shocking departure from the unlimited disclosure of Switch in 2016. In the Nintendo promotional film for Switch 2, well-looking 20-melomehings chilly in each of their attic apartments, remotely thundering when playing Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and another explains internal functioning Untitled game. In another vignette, a Japanese woman tells her three friends about pizza, which they once visited in the external world in which she recreated Animal passage: recent horizonsA game that has no negative connotations with our social reality.
Read the messages and you know that Nintendo is making an smart phone. How has been widely reported over the past yearThe potential of the H5N1 explosion, called “bird flu”, emerges when the virus jumps from bird species to mammals. Fear at this moment is not only the fact that H5N1 can Evolution to influence the wider spread of people than just poultry and dairy workers who contain it on farmsBut this fighting bird flu looks more and more like a potential infrastructure failure in the USA. Scientists say that a bird flu has been insufficiently awarded at the political level Over the past few years, while the mission of the Trump administration Reduce workplaces in the health sector It can affect the modest work that is done. Recently asked what to do with the constant appearance of bird flu, suggested Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Allowing him to run through bird populationsWhich scientists seem to agree, is a fairly terrible way to alleviate the viral mutation.
This is a lot of convictions to the explosion after the introduction of the Nintendo gamechat function, but on the other hand, who could forget about the time when GameChat would make the most sense? During my quarantine in 2020, I spent the ungodly number of evenings playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Online with several non-gaming friends who lived only a few blocks away. Like most people, the easiest way to catch face to face face to face and talk, when we twisted around Rainbow Road, was to load the TV switching and connect the zoom on a laptop. Thanks to Switch 2 we will have a gamechat. In a sense, I pray that we never have to apply it.
There are less apocalyptic reasons why GameChat is a huge progress. There are families throughout the state, the country, the world that will come up with Kirby Air Riders And feel closer than ever in a quick check in guy. Fromsoftware fans will have time for screams when they set off for everything Duskbloods It turns out. All this will happen from the comfort of the house – the same house, the same walls, the same sofa, an inevitable friend.
The global population can completely avoid H5N1 or anything that looks like the next close connection. Nintendo doesn’t risk. He built a console for social gatherings in isolation that fortunately he still has a conveyor mode. I will choose it outside while I can.
