Nintendo finally lifted the veil on the Switch 2 just a week ago today, putting a temporary cover on the drip of leaky last month concerning its new material bet, the console which succeeds the mega -Succès Nintendo Switch.
The trailer, which you can look below in better quality, has mainly focused on the characteristics of the device itself, almost all an evolution or an improvement of those seen on the Switch and with a few new features ( Like the switch 2 microphone or the mouse function of the Joy-Con controlle).
However, as with Apple or Xbox, with Nintendo, it is always curious to look Audiovisual language Used in the narration of such a crucial video for its future product strategy, and although this occasion they do not seem to refer to secret projects, the details are directly aimed at the hearts of fans.
The first thing we noticed live on Gamereactor on January 16, and which we jumped like Leo DiCaprio in his meme, is the wink to the revelation video of the Wii remote control. You may not be born, but if you were a player and you followed Nintendo’s news in 2005, you will remember the trailer for the Tokyo Game Show that was going revolutionize industry. A strange futuristic controller, recalling a television remote control, emerged from a thick milky liquid to reveal Nintendo’s innovative idea in terms of control of separate movements and hands. This concept was renamed from Nintendo Revolution to Wii and the rest belongs to history, but are you not familiar with the liquefied visual effect that covered Wiimote and Nunchuk?
Those who know, know, and would identify the reference by seeing the new Joy-Con 2.0 Take shape in the trailer of the Switch 2, with its blue and pink colored parts rendered like Terminator plasticine. And if Nintendo did not want to do it on purpose, we like to think that it is.
-But for winks and references, those caught by the popular Spanish pianist Eleksy in the following post X:
Although it is in Spanish, it is easy to understand. In the short video, the musician and influencer, very loved by the community for her concerts and her tributes to video games, analyzes by note the partition that plays in the trailer of the Nintendo Switch 2, sentences directly from play Like Super Mario Bros (main theme, pause music or mushroom), up to a technique that must be sought in all the videos of Nintendo and especially Zelda: playing music upside down.
As Elesky says, “This is not chosen by chance”and at the time of marketing and audiovisual communication that we live, every detail is studied as much as possible to obtain the biggest and the best impact … even some time after the initial publication.
