Those are some good odds. I'm convinced.Reveal in March and release in May is what I am literally betting quite a bit of money on. Not to say Ill lose any if it doesn't but optimal investing strategy-wise. In the tech investing circle, We are all convinced of a May launch but is still falls under speculation without hard proof. Investor win rate on calling product launches is like 65% lol
I don't know if he's reliable or yet another glory seeker.
Nintendo Super Play: same concept (hybrid), no dock, buttons like Super Famicom, same display size but reduced weight.
Then by that assumption, the reveal should be imminent and idk about that. Ill be glad to be wrongIt does if the hardware releases before the end of the fiscal year is the thing.
That would be even worse - having stock completely run out way before release of successor.I see people saying things like this, but wouldn't it be kind of foolish to take actions to clear stock while they're still producing them? If they just stopped making OLEDs today they'd run out of them before too long.
Or it's just right and these so-called reputable reports are all wrong. I'm more inclined to follow the money.Nah, May is too soon & wouldn’t give the Switch 2 a long enough marketing cycle to hype it up. I was thinking March reveal & September release, lining up with most of the reputable reports saying H2 2024 for the Switch 2’s launch.

I don’t see how a three-month marketing cycle for a new generation platform is realistic. Even Chad said their chatter was more speculation.Or it's just right and these so-called reputable reports are all wrong. I'm more inclined to follow the money.
They come from actually reputable reporters in the gaming industry with industry sources backing them up, so I’m more inclined to believe them.*Rumors.
Not reports. Big difference.
Feedback are intended as more like taps on the shoulder rather than official warnings. They don't really "pile up", they're intended more as reminders of rules or intent, as I understand it.Shoutout to page 1951 for breaking the record for most mod warnings in a single day.
The irony is the "reports" are production this year, aiming for early next year, so.*Rumors.

That's interesting.
I’m pretty sure the more reputable gaming news sites only mentioned production in the sense that Nintendo was waiting until the back half of 2024 to ensure ample stock, which implies that production will begin much earlier.The irony is the "reports" are production this year, aiming for early next year, so.

Something like a 3D Mario or Zelda would benefit. Games with dynamic lightning conditions, and a user controlled camera.You may be right, especially considering the kind of game that TTYD is. I do think a lot of Nintendo games don't need RT at all, but I am curious about what kind of games would benefit from it/be able to run with RT in the first place.
I wanted to bring up two other things that are a bit weird now.
1. Capcom just got done with their TGS 2023 show, yet they didn't show anything new, despite the fact they have an unannounced game expected to sell "millions" by the "end of March 2024."
They seem to be going all out with Monster Hunter stuff currently for its 20th Anniversary, which they say will be celebrated on March 11th.Capcom planning to release game ‘which will sell millions’ by end of March 2024
Bloomberg journalist Takashi Mochizuki says that Capcom is planning to announce a new game which the company is assured to sell millions of copies of by March 2024. It is not clear which franchise the…mynintendonews.com
Since Monster Hunter is a Nintendo timed exclusive IF this unannounced game is Monster Hunter, them saving it to reveal when Nintendo reveals their next generation makes a ton of sense. They don't have much time to announce it and then release it. Announcing it at TGA is completely possible, but it would be weird since that would only give it a 3-month marketing campaign.
Edit: Monster Hunter portable games seemingly are timed exclusive. Numbered games are still multi-platform. Either way, it would be weird to announce it at TGA and only have a 3-month marketing campaign when Rise got 7 months' worth of marketing before release. It's weird for them to set up such an announcement at their TGS show without... actually announcing anything.
Edit 2 (the sequel): https://famiboards.com/threads/futu...ts-before-commenting.55/page-1718#post-837333
There is apparently no evidence that Capcom will release a game that'll sell "millions" by the end of March 2024.
A reveal is completely possible, though a release is not likely at all. The person who claimed this is most likely mistaken.
It could be a Switch 2 game, though nothing suggests the absence of any new announcements at TGS is directly related to a new hardware reveal.
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.
very not reliableI don't know if he's reliable or yet another glory seeker.
HDMI port directly on the device?How would it be a hybrid without a way to dock it to a TV?
Nintendo will keep using the hybrid format for it consoles,until they found another huge concept for use in it consoles, at least 3/4 generations for hybrid format on it consolesMy thoughts exactly. Which is why the Switch will be a permanent form factor for Nintendo to follow, like their own PlayStation. Whether or not the next console will be called Switch again, what stands is that this form factor has come to stay.
Assuming the “leak” is real, maybe the information got mixed up:
• There’s a dock, but the Super Play will function like a Wii U Gamepad: streaming
— You can either play with Joycons or with the console itself
Also, a name change wouldt surprise me because of brand saturation, but PlayStation has managed to stick with the same name since the 90’s
— But then again, PlayStation is a name that has built goodwill over the years. Switch is a recent console. The brand fatigue from a new brand versus an old one is debatable
Yeah, DLSS's performance cost is the same for resolution X, no matter what the scaling factor is. Converting 720p->1080p will take the same amount of time to go from 360p->1080p.One thing that surprised me a little (though it makes sense when you think about it) is that it's WAY easier for DLSS to go from 540p to 1080p then to go from 1080p to 4K.
2ms would be a miracle. I've seen some benchmarks suggesting 20ms.So the main thing they'd be targeting IMHO is getting 4K Frametime cost ~<2Ms, whether it be via clocking the GPU high enough to compute it faster, or optimizing the Algorithm of DLSS (NVIDIA Side) to make it faster.
DLSS works by using AI to make a decision for every pixel in the final image. So the input resolution doesn't matter, only the output resolution, and performance should scale with resolution. So 1080p should take roughly half the time of 4k. Which is roughly what you see in official benchmarks.what about 360p -> 1080p compared to 1080p -> 4K?
Yeah. The only documented change to the tensor core itself is a AI research feature that was already present in the datacenter GPUs that was placed in the consumer ones. Remember, data scientists are buying 4090s and never playing games on them.Really? What are the benefits? Are they only useful for things like professional AI research?
He got Covid. He's doing alright, but he took himself all but some minor admin at DF.Hope he's doing alright.
There is a lot of support for DisplayPort in T239 for it not to physically connect to a display. Not sure what you mean by additional power - it's gotta plug in to charge somehow. But I don't think it's really viable to have the dock add performance. There is no indication of that in the leak, and the technical complexity is very high.No dock sounds very silly unless Nintendo wants it to be a handheld exclusive console... which contradicts literally everything we know about the damn thing. It could be connection via wireless dongle, but that's also dumb and still disables any potential to add additional power while docked.
I don’t think March Capcom game has ever really been debunked other than claims there was a mistranslation.Wait, the March Capcom game is real? I can’t remember any rumor that has been tried to be debunked more than that one.
I’m still not giving up on a March release for Switch 2until November has passed without announcement, personally.
And it’s hard to take any rumour seriously if they say that Switch will drop the dock. Redesign sure, but I can’t imagine no dock.

It’s not releasing a 2025, that much is certain. I’d probably say August if we’re really lucky & November in the absolute worst-case scenario. But considering that Pokémon usually comes out in November, I’d imagine that Nintendo will want to release the Switch 2 earlier.Yeah, it's very much not happening before Fall 2024 at the earliest.
It's just dead silent before the speculated November 6th reveal.
Maybe they briefly mention it to investors in November and say "it's coming next holiday" but that's as much as we'll get in November.
And since it's not going to be shown in November, it's probably not coming before Q3 and July and August would be really weird to launch consoles in.
So it's Fall (at the earliest).
What I meant was that, in handheld mode, it would need to underclock for both user comfort and battery life. When docked, neither is needed. I think that's how the Switch 1 worked (If I'm wrong here, pls correct me).There is a lot of support for DisplayPort in T239 for it not to physically connect to a display.

While I agree in general we shouldn’t share random tweets with no known (or bad) history, sometimes if certain (tangible) particulars were shared mixed with bad information, the tangibles can be checked out and lead to other discoveries.Why are we still posting these random twitter users they are just looking for clout and we are giving them that.
It's me. I bring all the hate.Shoutout to page 1951 for breaking the record for most mod warnings in a single day.
Ah, I see what you're saying.What I meant was that, in handheld mode, it would need to underclock for both user comfort and battery life. When docked, neither is needed. I think that's how the Switch 1 worked (If I'm wrong here, pls correct me).
It needs a dock or a charging station or whatever in order to run at a slightly higher capacity, so no dock makes no sense imo. If I'm incredibly off-base here, I really want to be corrected. I just thought it didn't make sense for the Switch 2 to not have a dock outright.
Yeah, I get how I made my thoughts come out as nonsense, thanks.Ah, I see what you're saying.
Yeah, I don't see how it would run dockless. What the dock does now is 1) connect to the TV, 2) connect to the power, 3) make sure that the vents on the Switch are uncovered so that the fan can adequately cool the machine.
It's the tablet part of the Switch that does all the work of clocking higher, but it's the dock that makes it safe, by ensuring that the system isn't bleeding battery life, and isn't propped up on a table somewhere, unable to vent all the extra heat.
In no conceivable universe is MegaMan X9 a major release.I must apologize to Bloomberg reporter (even though I still have no idea what Capcom is doing here. Maybe it's something semi small like X9 that can be announced at TGA and released in March or shadow dropped? An X9 shadowdrop at TGA I guess could make sense?)
I'm a believer in the reality that Capcom is going to port every game released within the last 5 years and the intern's cat onto the Switch 2 within the year it releases, but it's pretty much pointless to speculate on something that hasn't come to be yet. Is it possible that whatever the hypothetical title is will be a day one title on the Switch 2? Idk, maybe, but it's kinda pointless to think about it in the same vein as speculating what other games will come to the handheld day one.March capcom game and switch 2 have no correlation other than people's wet dreams so why is it even bring discussed here, at least disccus it in the software thread lol, but it still might not come to switch 2. Capcom has seen ton of success without nintendo especially sf6 sales recently so they might not be in a rush to put thier games on Nintendo
thats the most nintendo thing i heard about the switch 2 lol the no dock partNo dock sounds very silly unless Nintendo wants it to be a handheld exclusive console... which contradicts literally everything we know about the damn thing. It could be connection via wireless dongle, but that's also dumb and still disables any potential to add additional power while docked.
Idk, I'm not into this one.
I'm inclined to believe this is the direction they're heading.thats the most nintendo thing i heard about the switch 2 lol the no dock part

I just don't think it makes a ton of sense. It's not that you couldn't do it, but you'd either need a connector dangling off of your TV or a (probably expensive) wireless video adapter of some kind. Or I guess it could not be a hybrid at all, but that doesn't seem like a possibliltyI'm inclined to believe this is the direction they're heading.
But nobody likes to think about it.
I'm thinking that the Miracast solution they've been experimenting with the Wii U is something they're likely to build upon.I just don't think it makes a ton of sense.

Nobody thinks about it cause it sounds awful. Like imagine how awkward the switch would look just dangling attached to a tv barely able to stay upright without the dock. Its a disaster waiting to happen.I'm inclined to believe this is the direction they're heading.
But nobody likes to think about it.
The ports (for power and HDMI) is going to get worn out if one constantly switches between handheld and “docked” modes. Worn out ports would be terrible customer experience (having to get in touch with support for repair on main unit rather than just dock replacement)I just don't think it makes a ton of sense.

Why? Like I get this is something Nintendo has experimented with before, but what about it makes it make more sense than just a dock with a cable running to the TV?I'm thinking that the Miracast solution they've been experimenting with the Wii U is something they're likely to build upon.
Convinience and the having no need for a dedicated screen. Imagine being able to project you game onto any display, including your own PC or tablet, without requiring any additional hardware.Why? Like I get this is something Nintendo has experimented with before, but what about it makes it make more sense than just a dock with a cable running to the TV?
Which is telling because the OLED is meant to phase out the OG. Granted, the OLED is also more expensive to manufacture, plus warehouse costs.just that they're planning to sell OLED Model faster than its standard speed for a number of months, which gives them space (literally) in the supply chain.
It's not like the docks are expensive to manufacture, they're essentially just pieces of plastic. And streaming such a high quality image wirelessly... I haven't run the numbers or anything, but I imagine that would have quite a bit of latency and be bad for battery life. You could have a designated spot for the Switch to charge while it does this, but then you've basically invented a dock for your dockless SwitchConvinience and the having no need for a dedicated screen.
