Really? We can‘t really say that right now. Even though I agree that Switch Attach is a terrible name and the chances for it to be true are rather low, if they gave it such a name they surely wouldn’t have done it without a reason (probably a gimmick, which could be really anything from attatchable buttons to attatchable screens).
I think my concern is more that the console itself being distinguishable can be irrelevant. If you actually looked into the Wii U one bit, nothing about it resembles the Wii whatsoever, and yet it still took at least some aspect of the hit it took to its popularity on the back of that naming similarity. They made other marketing missteps, to be sure (new controller!!!), but my point is that they have to have learned by now that you need your console to be identifiable purely by name, if it needs to be.
It's the data Nintendo has. Even if it's dated, they are the most recent two consoles Nintendo has released, what good reason would Nintendo have to ignore their lessons?
The Wii and the DS were also kinda popular consoles and huge areas of growth for Nintendo. Just saying.
The 3DS's first party launch title was a sequel to the second-best selling DS game. Nintendogs + Cats. No one was gonna pay 300 bucks to play Nintendogs + Cats. Ask yourself how many people you think would be willing to pay 400 bucks for Tears of the Kingdom to run at a higher frame rate, and if your number if higher than 5% of players, I would respectfully say you're crazy.
Absolutely, if it has a new gimmick they rather should name it after that, or if it‘s a Power upgrade Switch 2, but Switch Attatch atleast isn‘t as bad as Wii U, so if they market it right, it probably won’t be that bad, even though other names would be preferable of course. Anyway, probably is just a joke from some YouTube employee.
It's not about being great or terrible. It's a nothing burger. I could tell you last year that Remake was and Rebirth would be PS console exclusive.
Mario Movie 2026: announcement now.
I think it just went up to like 80.
I feel like MP2/MP3 for 2H 2024 more of what fills out that 80% chance. MP4, dual launch for Switch 1 & 2.
Huge assumption (whynotboth.gif)
You could also say, abscence of evidence isn‘t evidence of abscense (especially at Nintendo).
Well, that's what I am thinking. Why haven't we got that yet?
Honestly, it is slightly better than the old Switcheroo!
Well, I hear a lot of people didn't like FF13. From what I understand, it was the hallway design of the environment. I remember people would joke and called it Final hallway or something like that.
Note the term WAS. Remake WAS a PS console exclusive, but not anymore. That was done in 2022.
Metroid Prime 4 as the Switch holiday game for this year, unless MP4 is a cross-gen release
Nintendo delay Switch sucessor to 2026, so the next 3D Mario coincide with the next Mario movie
I would personally prefer if Retro/Nintendo just decide to remaster 2-3 and have a dual release on the switch 2. Like metroid prime 4 can be the perfect showcase of Ray tracing, performance and high fidelity. Like i think metroid prime 4 on switch will look similar to metroid prime remaster, except maybe it'll be 30 FPS and 900p on the switch.
IMHO, they're not releasing MP4 before Switch 2 launches, I think MP4 will be a 2025 title, for both Switch 1 and 2.
Maybe the LOZ TP, LOZ:WW port are the friends we made along...
Out of curiosity, if for some commercial reasons Nintendo and/or Nvidia wanted to favor Samsung, do you think the other nodes you are talking about could be viable alternatives to TSMC in terms of technological performance?
The term "console exclusive" is used for games which are in no other consoles but are still on a non-console platform (almost always PC).
realistically the TSMC 4-5 would make more sense since it's smaller and would have a better battery life and also would mean Nintendo wouldn't need to overclocked the system as much and i would presume Nintendo would like to utilise the tegra 239 and it's fullest potential since it's the most expensive part of the switch 2 (i think).
I could be wrong, but I believe that all Samsung Nodes are cheaper than their TSMC counterparts, as they generally have worse yields and efficiency.
Happened with me and PS5 (70$ games did not help)
... Not sure if this helps the hype.
Console exclusive means only on that console and maybe pc, otherwise we're just talking about exclusive. It's on pc, but still exclusive to Sony consoles.
If the rumour about MP2/3 remaster being much more straight conversions than 1 was is true, I think they should release them as a pack. They probably wont though.
Interesting. I was thinking they would probably pack MP2/MP3 together, to try to entice a bit better sales numbers. But yeah, who knows what Nintendo is going to do here (if there still is a plan to release MP2 and MP3 eventually)
I have a feeling there might be ports down the line... perhaps only if the finish the trilogy first.
Re DLSS in the FFVII remake series, that's one concern I'd have regarding a Switch 2 version. The PC version of FFVII Remake Intergrade is one of the most recent Big games that supports none of the fancy modern upscalers. And it doesn't sound like PS5 Rebirth is doing any high quality upscaling, either. So I'm a bit worried this is sort of a Dragon Quest XI situation, where they started working on Remake on some version of UE4 before upscaling support was simple, are sticking with it for all three games to keep things moving along, and it would take a lot of work to port it to a newer version of UE.
Don't know why not. It would be just what they did with Pikmin 1+2.
The rumor is that they won't be made by Retro, and they won't be as remastered as 1, if I recall.
Personally, I have the absolute conviction that MP Remastered has allowed the people of Retro to reconnect with Metroid and that this is its main function.
I felt like that was the role of Metroid Dread (even though the game is 2D). If we're talking strictly about "reconnecting with Metroid" as an overall franchise/IP.
Yeah, I wasn't necessarily spinning a likely story, so much as suggesting ways that other players unrelated to Nintendo and Nvidia could shake up the technology base.
Thank you for this update! I am, admittedly, a novice here, knowing more about server technology than GPUs/mobile.
That's just them kinda reiterating what gene park said when they amended the original article. They don't know anything.
No one knows exactly. I still hope they'll hit Switch 2.
There are a couple of reasons that no one really expects anything other than SEC 8nm and TSMC 4N. The big one is that picking the "cheapest" viable node for each product is, on the whole, more expensive than just picking a small number of nodes for all products, and sticking to them across the board.
No one really knows! The math suggests that SEC 8nm isn't viable. If it is viable, then our data is incomplete. If our data is incomplete, it's impossible to guess how far that node can go.
