Hey could be worse. They could just ship the Switch 1 with a GPU that's soldered to unused PCIe lanes lookin' like this poor Steam Deck abomination.
Leaked Switch 2 BC model pics!!!

Nobody credible has said they heard this rumorI’m responding to people bringing it up again by teasing that they heard this rumor too.

Clearly the new gimmick for Switch 2 is an HDMI In port built into the tablet— and for BC you'll have to lug around a docked Switch hooked up to a car battery.Yeah baby, back on the “they’re going to fucking shove the Switch 1’s GPU is only one of the models” rumor. Easily the worst rumor I have seen in a minute.
Trying to imagine redesigning the entire system just to find a spot to shove in the fucking Switch 1 GPU because shader translation is literally impossible I guess.
Okay? I own several iPads. If they're enclosed with plastic instead, they'd be considerably lighter.Heavy? My Ipad Mini is quite light.
MVG sneaking in the complimentsI've been called sexy a few times.
It is also significantly more powerful than the switch even in passive cooling. I think metal casing is great, it works well in passive cooling. Adding an active cooling would only make it even better.Okay? I own several iPads. If they're enclosed with plastic instead, they'd be considerably lighter.
When I say "heavy" or "heavier", it does not mean "too heavy". I mean it's heavier in relative to what I'm used to when holding a Switch.
But maybe that'd be a good thing.. being slightly heavier. Makes the unit feel like it has more power, less of a toy weight (Switch).
Sad to admit but MVG has no idea what I look like.MVG sneaking in the compliments
Polygon? Is that you?Alright, you can perma ban me if nothing happens in November or before.
Welp here it is....

Well this just shattered my entire world viewSad to admit but MVG has no idea what I look like.
Just say it’s bad news and go lol* Hidden text: cannot be quoted. *
Right? I hate vague posts more than anything. “I don’t wanna break someone’s story” then proceeds to allude in 3 separate posts. It derails the already derailed state we’re in lol. It just feels like a “I’m checking in to tell you I know something” self gratifying thingJust say it’s bad news and go lol
Don't even say such things...Plot twist:
• The “big picture” of the Xboxera leak is that the Switch 2 will release with a fourth and final OG Switch revision: a digital only Switch
I’m partly joking, but it wouldn’t surprise me. Though it doesnt make sense to occupy manufacturing lines and stock space for thatDon't even say such things...
Wii Mini 2 : Calcio Strikes Back?Plot twist:
• The “big picture” of the Xboxera leak is that the Switch 2 will release with a fourth and final OG Switch revision: a digital only Switch
It could maybe be the model to phase out the LiteWii Mini 2 : Calcio Strikes Back?
They'd have to make it really, really cheap, but I don't hate the idea.
Just a thought about that no digital bc in the digital only system.
That could make sense if there is a big price difference between the two skus ala the Xbox Series S and X. If the Switch 2 Physical + BC is $400-$450, Nintendo can have the Switch 2 nothing but digital Switch 2 only games at $200-$250.
I can't imagine they'd really go that route. Feels too "progressive" (?) for Nintendo.
Well that sure was a waste of time.Welp here it is....

No, it does not make sense.
The two paths are:
Nintendo blocks digital BC from the cheaper model for literally no hardware or software reason.
Nintendo has to shove the Switch 1 chip into one of the models but not the other.
Path two is the most nightmarish thing I can imagine.
Boredom kicking in right now so ignore this post if you don’t want to read fanfiction:
I know that this will probably result in crapshot guesses but…
Assuming Nintendo sticks to the Switch format for future consoles. Approximately what raw performance do you reckon we can expect from a Switch 3 and past that do you reckon that the appeal for a home console such as a PlayStation or Xbox will diminish given that graphical fidelity will see diminishing returns. After all if the game looks and feels the same on my portable Switch as it does on my PlayStation then I’d rather have it on the go?
I’m thinking we might start to see parity with other consoles become a (welcome) trend going forward. That isn’t to say that developers won’t make games that will push the hardware of current/upcoming console generations but that the cutbacks and downsizing between ports will simply be about getting rid of the excesses with little compromise to the experience. I think this will be the case as once every console Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft reaches a certain performance baseline games will begin to look good despite any potential cutbacks. I think an example is that even though Fortnite is trimmed heavily on the Switch it still looks graphically better than most if not all Wii games from a decade prior and probably a lot of the PS3 and Xbox 360 games. (Probably not the best example so feel free to replace Fortnite with your game of choice) So 10 years from now, we can expect the worst looking games from future consoles to look better than the best looking games do today and past that the differences will be so minute that turning down a few settings will still produce amazing fidelity but great performance because you decided to not animated every blade of grass on a future switch as opposed to doing so on a future PlayStation.
I also wonder if we will see a NG Switch Pro this time around because the Switch’s lifecycle was unusual and I don’t believe Nintendo will assume the Switch 2 will have as much longevity. If so maybe we can expect a performance increase that places it solidly above an Xbox Series S and makes it far more comparable to a PS5 or XSX. I do believe that if this does happen then we could maybe see some AAA third party games land on said system. Though maybe they’d make it available only via eshop as Nintendo would want to avoid Timmy’s mum going to the store and buying Timmy the new popular third party game on his regular switch and then it doesn’t work because it’s only meant for the switch Pro. Then maybe we could see a storage increase on a switch pro to accommodate this.
To be honest just throwing around empty thoughts but discussing non-existent potential plans is a fun thought experiment at least for me.
I second that now and understand wanting people to receive him for his brains and not just being attractive.Damn you must be pretty good looking then
well at least we found out today that NateDrake is hot. big reveal!
I've been called sexy a few times.
He should be an international spy, not hanging out with usSexy and mysterious is a deadly combination! Lol

Given that the OG Switch had its release month reveled in their April 2016 investors meeting and with the full reveal that October, if there's anything this year, I'd expect it to be alongside their next investors meeting on November 7, with a simple "hey, this thing exists, here's the codename and the release month" with a full reveal trailer in March-April 2024.I wouldn’t be surprised if the November thing was just another leak coming out around that time in terms of an article being prepared about the hardware. The actual reveal probably won’t be until March.
History of trolling? Yes. He’s done this rumor bs before and then make a separate topic with a misleading title.Does marmalade actually have a history or are people getting giddy at a regular member teasing nothing? Idk who this guy is.
He used to publish articles for VGC. However, as others mentioned, it's not the first time he did trollish stuff here at Fami.Does marmalade actually have a history or are people getting giddy at a regular member teasing nothing? Idk who this guy is.
He’s banking on Xboxera leak being part of a bigger picture we may finally see in NovemberHe used to publish articles for VGC. However, as others mentioned, it's not the first time he did trollish stuff here at Fami.
It seemed like in the video Nick was saying he initially heard there would be a no-BC model and a BC model but that after hearing the recent rumor about the digital only SKU he thinks (and emphasizes this part is him speculating) that what he heard might have meant that the digital only SKU would only have digital BC.That the digital-sku would lack digital-BC.
Im with you 100 percent, this is a sensitive time where we really need some legit info and people playing jokes posting fakes just need to crawl and stay under the rocks they came fromcan we just ban people posting fake leaks
