Waiting for the Nintendo Switch 2 is a test of patience for fans. Expectations are high, as many players are hoping for real improvements. Nintendo could reach a milestone in terms of battery life, as a rumor now suggests.
Official information on Nintendo Switch 2 is not available: The announcement is expected to be made in the current fiscal year, which ends on March 31, 2025, and backwards compatibility is also expected to be introduced - these are the two key details that come from Nintendo itself. And what else? All that remains are rumors. One of these this time is about the battery of the new console.
Nintendo Switch 2: Manual power selection?
A rumor about the Nintendo Switch 2 is circulating on the subreddit “GamingLeaksAndRumours” and it deals with a very interesting feature. Specifically, it is about the fact that fans will supposedly be able to choose a performance mode on the new console, even when the device is undocked. According to reports, the information comes directly from a developer who has access to the specifications of the Nintendo Switch 2. If the information is correct, it would be a real first: Nintendo would then let players decide for themselves for the first time whether quality or battery life is more important in a gaming session.
This would also be a real technical milestone that could have a positive impact on the work of game developers as a whole. Nintendo may want to enable easier settings with pre-configurations.
Such setting options have long been known from the power consoles Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Here, however, the primary focus is on smooth display with a higher frame rate: players can usually choose from a mode for better visual quality or more performance.
The focus of the Nintendo Switch 2 would be to extend the battery life in handheld mode. The basic idea of the console could certainly benefit from this, after all, mobile gaming is one of the big advantages of the hybrid console.
