Zack Zwiezen: The rumored ability to use a Joy-Con as a mouse sounds wild and could make it easier to port PC-only things to Switch 2, though I have a feeling Nintendo will still require all games to be playable without using the mouse feature.

Kenneth Shepard: The Switch 2 can do your taxes for you, which is why it’s shadow dropping: so it can get in people’s homes before taxes are due.

Ethan Gach: GameCube games will get added to Switch Online via the Expansion Pack Deluxe. Paying extra for this will also be the only way to utilize voice chat. The Virtual Console will return to the eShop, but NES games will be $10 each, with $10 added on for each subsequent console generation. There will be no built-in social media sharing. You’ll be able to share save files with the people on your friends list.

John Walker: I’m at my most pessimistic here. As I’ve bemoaned previously, I think this is just going to be a better Switch, and as such lack that Nintendo weirdness you’d usually expect in a follow-up console. I really hope I’m wrong.
