Oh, I recall them wanting to have the Monster Hunter franchise be a Nintendo exclusive a while ago. Since they helped with publishing Monster Hunter Tri and such. https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2...nter_from_sony_playstation_to_nintendo_switch
Holiday of the seventh year? Do you really think that who finally decide to buy a switch now will give up for a console that is not launched yet?
When i say 'traditional launch and reveal' i'm not comparing to anything 20 years ago, which is another thing people get overly attached with here. It's not like the ghost of Iwata is handling this launch either.
nothing awkward about that silence, it's merely the tranquil calm before the storm as the king of racing franchises drifts back into view!
You have no idea and neither do I.
Stop overinflating what people are saying when they disagree with you.
as I said, they leaked stuff regarding Nvidia in the past. if I'm correct in that Drake related stuff is cordoned off, then this would have to be in the broader stack. there's also no other chip that has 8 A78 cores and 1280 cores, unless it's a cutdown Orin. so it's either that or a cut down T239. and again, assuming this is actually pointing to a chip
it didn't sound like they were definitely going to be adding it to standard RT, just that it could. even if they don't, I'm hoping they do for their UE5 plug-in for testing to see if it fixes the boiling issues
No new info from NateDrake with respect to Nintendo's new hardware.
aye, RR is coming to that as well. don't know if they gave a date though
I want to chuckle at the notion except. . . Microsoft's acquisition of Activision is at $69B and Nintendo's current market cap is $55B.
The fact Nintendo's "big pile o cash" is more than 10% of their entire value is extremely funny.
the most obvious ones would be stuff like Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and AYA Neo 2, and the like. that said, those have the caveats of them being PCs and not consoles with bespoke optimizations.
Ehh. I think it's just a shortening of Next Gen they're using for external purposes. Not very different from when I get tired of picking one of the names going around here and just refer to it as the "next thing".
Most people are expecting the next thing to cost something like 14-28% more than the current most popular model. It's very dissimilar from previous transitions.
Basically all the same stuff is possible, it just depends how much power you want to spend to get there and how much heat you're willing to put up with.
Possible is a lower bar than meaningfully useful, though.
This made me curious about splitting up shipments by quarter. At this point the Jan-June quarters have one more than Jul-Dec, so take that into account.
Unless they announce in August and then make everyone forget about it in September, it sure would.
We can count on Switch's October-December 2023 for both hardware and software beating 3DS's full-year 2016.
I would say no, since "PS4" is more akin to the handheld mode experience of NG Nintendo Switch, so instead of targeting 4K with PS4 specs, it's more likely targeting 1080p with PS4 specs after DLSS.
It would be basically illegal, per the Japan Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act of 1949.
This is why I'm waiting for UE5 DLSS 3.5 integration. We can compare the performance of RR against the closest thing the industry has to "standard" denoisers.
Assuming I understand your question, I don't think the situation would be radically different than it is now.
I've heard this console name - probably code name, though I guess there is a microscopic chance that it's the actual name - from multiple people. However, I suspect at least a couple of those people have the same source behind the curtain. Not willing to put that Ultimate Source on blast.
I think this has to do with Nintendo changing their software release cadence. The "next" console was always a sort of open secret, and Nintendo (and other companies) almost needed to talk about them early, simply because they needed to fill the late-gen software slump with excitement. Code names were a way to do that.

So yeah, a couple of comments. First of all, I'm imagining regardless Microsoft would be pushing their power budget as much as they can, RISC by its nature in theory should perform worse clock for clock, but be able to run at much higher clocks to regain the difference in performance (if done correctly of course). So I agree, that would be where the gap comes from, though I wonder how far they could push the clocks up with a customized N1 based CPU.
just Pokemon alone is worth more what Microsoft paid to own Activision Blizzard,they will problaby have to spend $200 bilions to own Nintendo
They definitely know what they're talking about given their until-very-recently history with the company and tendency to predict events and Directs with a very high degree of accuracy way ahead of time, Krysta was predicting there would be no Zelda HD ports at the last Direct despite knowing for a fact they've existed as completed Switch titles for a good while now (she's either seen or played them), which does make it look like they're perhaps being held back for one final Switch-focused event
They will probably have stopgap MH entries, because if MH6 releases lets say next year, the next entry is not gonna be MH7. Ideally those stopgaps lets them be creative.
I don't think these new Nintendo Live dates are really indicative of anything beyond the fact that Nintendo is really happy with how these community events have done in Japan and now the United States, and wish to expand ASAP. The recent one in Seattle is the only one so far that had an upcoming title available to play. Otherwise, the focus of these events are squarely on being casual gatherings for Nintendo fans and their families to play multiplayer games with others (Hong Kong and Taipei will probably add WarioWare to the mix), watch tournaments, and attend concerts.2. Nintendo Live is apparently happening in Hong Kong and Taipei. They announced it last night in such short notice.
It's happening in Hong Kong on November 11th - 12th
It's happening in Taipei on November 25th - 26th
Very weird timing, considering that after WarioWare, their releases only consist of remakes beyond the Peach game, which isn't launching for another 5 months. They could very well have something before both of these dates. It seems weird to me to do this at all if they weren't going to have something around this time.
From what I can understand, we’re getting a PS4 in handheld mode and PS4 pro in docked. With better image quality + RT.
My overall point still stands. It doesn't make sense to release Mario Kart 10 BEFORE the next 3D Mario. The user I quoted speculated that Mario Kart would release in 2024 and 3D Mario in 2025. I don't agree with that assessment that's all.
