I really wanted that game but I have to sometimes draw the line on performance.Imagine the Link’s Awakening remake with a smooth frame rate and any resolution above 1080p. It would look absolutely spot on. That art style deserves it.

That requires Nvidia to redesign consumer Ampere GPUs with TSMC's IPs and EUV lithography in mind since consumer Ampere GPUs are using Samsung's IPs and DUV lithography, which I imagine isn't inexpensive.
I’m sure it’s good and playable but it being the work of art it is makes it harder for me to swallow any messiness.I don’t know I found that game the exact type of performance I could manage. I thought it only tanked when shifting screens and quickly stabilized? That was my memory of it. Didn’t impact most dungeons screens and the like.
Regardless I agree it would be another great candidate for a boost because clearly folks like yourself didn’t tolerate it.
That's not a refresh of ampere, which is what they were discussing. Especially when low end Lovelace won't be out until 2023 or 2024Isn’t the 4000 series manufactured at TSCM so it doesn’t matter?
Yeah lots of drops to 30 FPS, but it's almost always triggered by a transition and fixed up in a few seconds.

There are some whispers from China, it is said that the Switch 'Pro' is in production and the chip is orin based.

it’s just a random post on the Internet.Any reason to believe this particular post has any credibility?
Yeah it’s July or early 2023 the latestJust July left to go. If nothing in that month then I’m giving up on 2022.
The GPU architecture the RTX 40 series (Ada Lovelace) is based on is different from the GPU architecture the RTX 30 series (Ampere) is based on.Isn’t the 4000 series manufactured at TSCM so it doesn’t matter?
No, the leaker said he got information from credibile source which leaks got confirmed twice before. And i think it may corroborate leaks from other Chinese gaming forum. Anyways, take it grain of salt.Any reason to believe this particular post has any credibility?
My head canon says that they're trying to get BotW2 out before the end of the fiscal year, which would count as a Zelda game "this year". That may be wishful thinking on my part of course - if they release TP or WW this year that'd mean BotW2 is probably later in Spring than I'd like =P (i.e. after this fiscal year).Little reminder that we still haven't had a Zelda game in 2022.
Windwaker HD is coming don't worryLittle reminder that we still haven't had a Zelda game in 2022.
Did we actually get one every year since BotW? Also unless NSO doesn't count we got Majora's Mask in 2022 so there's thatLittle reminder that we still haven't had a Zelda game in 2022.
Ocarina of Time 4k is coming, don't worry.Little reminder that we still haven't had a Zelda game in 2022.
4K NSO let's goooooooOcarina of Time 4k is coming, don't worry.

Haha, what's kind of funny is that one forum actually mentioned not only that Reddit quote you had, but also that it was posted here! Such a small world!No, the leaker said he got information from credibile source which leaks got confirmed twice before. And i think it may corroborate leaks from other Chinese gaming forum.

Oh man...that'd be amazing!4K NSO let's gooooooo
I don't follow them as much as I used to. I mainly like the Chris Cohen era, Runners Four & Milk Man, and saw them a couple of times around then. I liked Love Lore. Amazing band.Hey hey! New album’s around the corner!

Runners Four is my favorite Hoof album, but I really liked Actually, You Can this past year. La Isla Bonita and Breakup Song also rule. Post-Cohen has a different feel, but still oodles of good stuff.I don't follow them as much as I used to.

The original Switch uses is on 20nm! The Lite/OLED/Redbox Mariko revision is on TSMC's 16nm process.Haha, what's kind of funny is that one forum actually mentioned not only that Reddit quote you had, but also that it was posted here! Such a small world!
Also, really interesting discussion regarding the 8nm, 7nm, and on down things! Because I'm dumb, if you were to take an original Switch, which I'm assuming uses 8nm, kept everything the same, but brought it down to 7nm, what kind of performance enhancement comes from that?
Anyways, a weird patent from Nintendo just popped up in the Japanese patent office, and I'm curious is anyone knew what this might be? I know a lot of them don't transpire and such, but this one is quite different from others they've had go up in recent months.
Here's the link, which I hope works for bringing it up! You may have to click the document link after clicking this link, but it should be machine translated into English.
It seems more like a toy of some sort, albeit one I've not seen from them. But, there is mention within the description that it's effects could actually be shown/conducted on a separate display apart from the device itself. If it's not a toy, could it be something attached on a controller? Could it be a fitness-related attachment? Just curious what you all thought!
Oh man...that'd be amazing!
I don't think anyone has specifics, but the general opinion is that it would be absolute madness for Nintendo not to have full-BC to the original Switch library, especially if they are positioning Drake as a continuation of the Switch line.Apologies if this came up before (it probably has...), but what are the prospects for backwards compatibility with the currently speculated hardware? Is it likely that Nintendo will provide current APIs completely on the next Switch? Because in that case, games could continue to work the same as now, especially with earlier rumors about developers preferably unlocking frame rate and/or resolution for a potential Switch Pro. Or is this going to be a complete no-go?
This is for their theme park.Haha, what's kind of funny is that one forum actually mentioned not only that Reddit quote you had, but also that it was posted here! Such a small world!

I personally don't think you're gunking up the thread! Kind of a "palette cleanser" to come across stuff like this!Runners Four is my favorite Hoof album, but I really liked Actually, You Can this past year. La Isla Bonita and Breakup Song also rule. Post-Cohen has a different feel, but still oodles of good stuff.

Perfect! Thank you! It kind of seems like a light up Otamatone or something from the description!This is for their theme park.
I really don't think this has been an intentional strategy apart from Zelda games being popular.2017- Breath of the Wild

Yes, we're expecting a pretty large leap.And geez, 20nm/16nm?! I would have to imagine the shift to, say, 8nm, while leaving everything else the same, would be a huge improvement then!! (I'm not technical, so I'm sure it's hard to make things apples to apples, but theoretically is all I was curious about, haha!)
Yes, we're expecting a pretty large leap.
It seems to be a toy that makes/changes lights and sounds when squeezed. So it's kind of like those squeaky dog toys, but electronic and for human(?). And yes, the patent may be applied to wireless controls. Hmm, could be for a physical toy sold at the Super Nintendo World?Anyways, a weird patent from Nintendo just popped up in the Japanese patent office, and I'm curious is anyone knew what this might be?

Thanks for the link. As I suggested previously, the impact of the new ASBJ accounting standard is relatively small. The explanation about the shipments to assemblers is a bit puzzling to me. I thought that would have been recognized as work in progress inventories under the old standard and raw materials under the new standard. But what they said here seems to indicate otherwise.Ah, here we are.
In the full response Furukawa says the shortages are why they’ve stocked up on more raw materials than before.
It seems to be spreading to other sites too. This is a lot of pressure because I can easily be wrong. I'll stay away from gaming sites for a day and focus on work.@fwd-bwd you're famous, sort of, lol

it's expected to have BC. the technical problems are solvable given Nvidia also works on the API.Apologies if this came up before (it probably has...), but what are the prospects for backwards compatibility with the currently speculated hardware?

MVG discussed a myriad of possibilities on an episode of Nate's podcast that Nintendo and other third parties could pursue when it comes to backwards compatibility, whether hardware or software based.Apologies if this came up before (it probably has...), but what are the prospects for backwards compatibility with the currently speculated hardware?

Nah I still expect we're getting a port/remaster at the very least.The list isn’t quite representative.
Here’s a better view of it:
2011- Ocarina of Time 3D/ OG Skyward Sword
2013- Link Between World/ WWHD
2014- Hyrule Warriors (3DS)
2015- Majora’s Mask 3D
2016- Twilight Princess HD
2017- Breath of the Wild
2018- Hyrule Warriors DE / Cadence of Hyrule
2019- Link's Awakening
2020- Hyrule Warriors 2: Age of Calamity
2021- Skyward Sword
They were doing yearly releases for nearly a decade.
2022 will miss it obviously
Like 2012
Please nintendo give me 4 swords adventures and Minish Cap remakesThe list isn’t quite representative.

Switch is PS3+ already so by analogy I've always expected a next-gen Switch to be near XBO/PS4 level + modern architectural improvements, those consoles are almost a decade old at this point. I've read that overclocked Mariko units with homebrew is comparable to an XBO in some games. My minimum expectations are that Drake can comfortably receive XBO/PS4 ports, and 'impossible' ports of XSX/PS5 exclusives.Something with PS4+ levels of power in the Switch form factor would be insane, wouldn't it? Kind of a dream Nintendo system. But it's not implausible.
If this rumor was true, the right way to do it would be to have a toggle capping/ uncapping the frame rate. No dev would intentionally compromise the game on existing hardware, to benefit unreleased hardware.Because in that case, games could continue to work the same as now, especially with earlier rumors about developers preferably unlocking frame rate and/or resolution for a potential Switch Pro. Or is this going to be a complete no-go?
