Challenging them is fine. There are even people in those YouTube comments offering their ideas for solutions like patching the same way Xbox did.
Conspiracy nuts is going a little far, don't you think? There isn't really a lot to go off and Nate is still speculating like the rest of us.
you literally value a one time leaker in order to support your Switch 2 is 2023 narrative. Stop lmao.
The irony
You are never going to get an explanation or something well informed from him. It's why Bellydrum harps on him with snide comments like he's a piggybacker cause he only speaks up when Nate or some other leaker does.
That is not even true. When he did his video this place lost their minds lmfao. The typical people who post well thought out posts challenged it in a normal way. But there were way too many others who overreacted.
No. P4blo talks like a conspiracy nut. It's like talking to the average twitter blue subscriber quite frankly.
Yes, but that doesn't mean they're going to make this specific mistake. I'd say that BC applies to Nintendo's endeavor for a smooth transition to the successor. Not to mention the integration of their account system. This is probably confirmation biss, but I consider BC to be a lock for whatever form this new system is gonna take.
The only big flaw I saw in MVG's reasoning for no BC is his claim that emulation based BC wouldn't be possible. If AMD based hardware like the steam deck can emulate the switch fairly well I see no reason to think that Nintendo and Nvidia wouldn't be able to emulate their own hardware on NVidia hardware.
It's arguably been a mix of people with sound reasons for why BC should be reasonably likely on switch 2 and some people outright coping about how there's no way nintendo would make a dumb move that feels very similar to ways some people are insisting that switch 2 will come out this year.
I never said there weren't people who were outraged, just that there were people who challenged his opinion in a normal way and were accepted way more. There were respectable technical breakdowns about how nintendo could do BC that were greeted with no controversy.
It's all for fun I wish people came in here with that in mind.
That's just one person, though.you literally value a one time leaker in order to support your Switch 2 is 2023 narrative. Stop lmao.

Dude, I get it, but maybe chill out a little and listen to some of the less combative responses.
It only says this:the twitt doesnt exist anymore
If it's August and still no announcement of new hardware, will you finally chill out?
Yeah imo the only way it will not have BC, is if Nintendo somehow has a fallout with Nvidia and some other companys tech will power the next Switch. Which I consider extremely unlikely.
+1.
Tbf, it is in the same fiscal year, but I personally don't see Nintendo announcing Redrakted for that time period. Too many negatives.Could you please count early 2024 in team 23?
The only reason I believe people are even entertaining no back compat is because of rumors saying there's none, which doesn't necessarily mean anything for the final product. A reminder that the PS5 literally turned into a PS4 Pro for back compat during development, even as early as March 2020 when reported on.
Nintendo handicapped the Wii U, all because of compatibility with a dead architecture. If they had gone with an X86 APU like the 2 others, it would have been a ton better.
The chip might be set, but that doesn't mean that Nintendo has set every aspect of the console overall. Nintendo expanded memory on the Switch, famously, but also upped handheld clock speeds very late in the pre-launch development period. The NX was a famously fast turnaround, so it seems likely that Nintendo would have nailed those sorts of details down before sending "final" devkits
Only if they had a game. Early devkit users are like beta testers of your development software. It costs money for that company to play around with new tech without a project, it costs money for Nintendo to support them. If they really are working on Metroid 6, then it would make sense. If not, I am not sure that Mercury Steam is on the list of studios who get one just to see what they can do with it.
It's not like they are purely guessing though. They have their own sources (just not enough sources to come out with their own story without risking the jobs of those sources) and earlier in this thread Nate said to expect to hear more about the next hardware in the next few months, which would be a weird thing to say as purely a guess.
That wouldn't require new devkits would it? Only new firmware.
What would be the cost? Having a couple of engineers ready the studio tools for it and provide feedback on a prototype (that I assume would cost a couple thousand dollars at max, basically nothing) sounds like a good investment from any mid sized developer and especially for a studio that has made a Switch exclusive in the past.
Or it's true and they're on schedule, just like the Aula's July reveal and October release?
Nobody is disqualified until this thing is announced.
Also means that 2023 is very unlikely if Mercury Steam, who we can safely assume is working on another metroid game, is only just now getting a switch 2 dev kit.
Software development kits have been circulating for quite literally years. If they're receiving hardware over a year since SOC tapeout, that would STRONGLY imply finalised hardware distribution, which can happen as little as 3 months before going gold.
Rumor that a studio in Spain now has a Switch 2 devkit
We don't know for certain that they've been working on it for X amount of time, just that development has been possible for a very long time indeed.
Even in the extreme case where Switch 2 games are digital only, hard to imagine they'd totally cut out the physical BC right away. Cut it out in later years/models as happened with GCN-on-Wii and GBA-on-DS? OK.
SDEV is the Nintendo NX (Switch) development kit.
Multiple journalists though have confirmed that Software Dev kits were taken back in mid-late 2022 and it's likely that once nintendo starts making the new dev kits that they would first give them out to first party devs and close AAA third party partners.
That points to digital BC being very likely but doesn't make cartridge BC necessarily likely
