the Nvidia theft pointed to the general schematic being paper complete around 2019 and the physical chip being in the hands of testers by early 2022.I doubt they finalized it that quickly, Because there was also word of a Pro Model coming which was likely canned due to chip shortages and the pandemic,
I'd hedge my bets on finalizing the design by late 2021 at the latest, But Nintendo still is known for going with whats cheapest instead of whats best
True.I’d argue better marketing does little to improve consumer interest in WiiU.
I say 10 for games 2 for system12GB of RAM - 8GB for Games and 4GB for Background Processes + Game Recording
a 120 hz screen (even a 90hz screen) is actually secretly the thing I want most!
(as long as it’s an OLED).
I won't pretend to know how much of a jump in horsepower is needed to go from a 1080p render to an equivalent 4K render, but I was under the impression that Ertaboy wanted a bigger jump than that. My line of thinking is that I'd prefer to not see devs target their games at the point where docked mode is straight up required in order to get a stable framerate.
Bold of you to assume that devs will actually target their games for higher framerates. So long as the AAA space is still targeting bigger worlds, denser environments, and better lighting, 30-60 fps will remain the norm in a console environment.120hz should come to Switch 2, its a QoL improvement now but if this system is last 7 years so 2031. It would be sad that in 2031 a gaming device still used 60hz.
Wow, so that’s how BOTW ran on the Wii U. Crazy stuff.And Nintendo giving certain games (cough, BotW) access to that extra 1GB, aka unloading the entire OS in the background and making it even slower
As far as I know, there's no 60 Hz displays on the market that support VRR as well. So Nintendo probably has to pay display manufacturers to customise 60 Hz displays to have VRR support. And I expect display manufacturers to charge a large premium for that.If all Switch 2 units with screens are OLED, maybe they could do a bigger range around 60hz like steam deck does and support VRR.
Die shrunk LPDDR5 modules are already on the market as shown with the Steam Deck OLED. So LPDDR5X modules won't offer any power efficiency improvements compared to the die shrunk LPDDR5 modules based on what JEDEC published on LPDDR5X.It does offer power savings (smaller node) as well as higher speeds.
The Retroid Pocket Flip has clickable circle pads (and as a bonus, they're Hall Effect). Idk if they actually feel better to use than the 3DS circle pad, but clickable circle pads definitely could exist!Would require a way to compensate for losing the stick click buttons.
I mean what is enough? And what lesson has been learned? Does Nintendo expect 4K60? Will they have the same network cap problem due to low cpu and ram?14 GB for games 2 for the OS has a nice ring to it.

VRR is only enabled when the Steam Deck is displayed to a VRR supported external display when connected to a dock via a supported USB-C adapter.I was under the impression that the OLED in the steam deck supported it. Maybe I've misunderstood something.
Breath of the Wild took up the entirety of the Internal Storage on Day 1, So 64GB of Storage is definitely not a nonsense prediction, It is 100% inline with something Nintendo would do and then make you buy external storage (And also sell their own branded MicroSD cards like they did for the Switch)
if there was one post I could dislike, it would be this one.Circle Pad discourse has me thinking
Thinking a thought nobody wants me to think.
What if instead of a trackpad or capacitive buttons.
We get DUAL C-STICKS?!
Hear me out, there's a bunch of possible advantages here.
Here's a New 2DS XL with a TrackPoint cap modded in, for good measure.
If this were to happen, I'd like to see three things:
Keep the design from 3DS, not a grippy textured top, it was comfortable and looked good.
Make it pressable, just a little "doink' when you press it in.
Give it and the control sticks proper labels, and that means renaming it- R Stick and L Stick become CR and CL (for Control Stick), while the new "Pointing Sticks" become PR and PL.
I'm dead serious. I actually want this.
Games like Fortnite will benefit from 120hz. There’s no reason to not a 120hz panel past 2025.Bold of you to assume that devs will actually target their games for higher framerates. So long as the AAA space is still targeting bigger worlds, denser environments, and better lighting, 30-60 fps will remain the norm in a console environment.
lol. But I think the OS time will be a lot more chubby( opposite of lean, okay). Maybe themes and who knows maybe even some OS apps like the 3DS had12GB,
11.5gb for OS
.5gb for games
It seems like they vastly underestimated HD systems.Wait until you hear about games using the ARM co-processor for unintended purposes and dumping the OS entirely
Wii U was an accursed little beauty I adore to this day.
I am thinking so. Sorry for forgetting but one of the founders here stated the reason why the Switch ran so slow was cause of ram and the cpu. And if they want us to pay online we should expect a smoother experience. Not only that I am sure they want the eshop to run smoother. Their last three or even four if you count the wii haven't really had an all around smooth experience.lol. But I think the OS time will be a lot more chubby( opposite of lean, okay). Maybe themes and who knows maybe even some OS apps like the 3DS had
With AV1 encoding!After almost 7 years dealing with 30s at 720p@30fps and low bitrate, give me 10 min 1080p@60fps and I'll be happy.
If they let me stream using twitch, then it's heaven for me.
Yeah, my bar is that low already.
I don't think the internal storage play a huge part the texture size. That's more ram and gpu that plays a larger role.Regarding internal storage I think games will still be smaller than people imagine. This is not going to have extremely high resolution textures in a lot of scenarios. Am not expecting a major change up from Switch here.
It will in terms of max game download sizes. I don’t see a major change from Nintendo here but we have people debating proprietary memory and 250GB internal storage. I don’t see the point, if am Nintendo am telling you how to transfer your SD card straight from Switch OG to Switch 2 and leaving it at that.I don't think the internal storage play a huge part the texture size. That's more ram and gpu that plays a larger role.
I’m sorry but every time VR comes up I have to post. Banking big IPs on “ 15 minute experiences” seems so dumb to me. Most people can’t even play VR given their age or having adequate room. Or even physical disabilities? If Nintendo puts all their chips on VR I can see a lot of fans (including me) being upset. Sorry for the rant!If it's a lowish amount of on-board storage for Switch 2, I think get ready for proprietary "high speed" memory cards made by Nintendo where they control the profit margins. I've said it before, but they have a legitimate point this time as there is no high speed external storage card format that has taken off, so they can say "we need to make high speed cards of our own to ensure every game has access to the same kind of loading speed".
And of course they will stand to sell tens of millions of those at likely a very nice profit margin per card.
As for a high refresh rate screen ... I'll call this one too, I don't think Nintendo cares much about VRR or higher than 60 fps ... "Better than Labo" VR is the big new "gimmick" for Switch 2. A 1080p screen + higher than 60 Hz display is going to be able to do "good enough for the mass market" level VR without asking people to pony up $400 for a separate headset. Nintendo did have a big new VR patent last year I think, Mario Kart, Metroid Prime 4, etc. in VR would certainly bring a new dimension to those games as an optional side experience. Pilotwings VR would be great too.
Having a 120 Hz screen or whatever would make a lot of sense if the Switch 2 screen is meant to do VR. It's not going to be the highest end VR, but it will approximate PS4 level VR which can still be impressive to many people, the best VR head set isn't the one with the best specs, it's the one people actually have in their home. I think Nintendo will push it as a thing you use for 15-25 minute bursts but enough for people to get a taste of it and be impressed.
IIRC there's a special decompression engine built into Drake, so compressing high-res textures could help keep them from ballooning game filesizes. Might be able to have a little bit of a best-of-both-worlds situation here.It will in terms of max game download sizes.
Honestly I'd rather Nintendo didnt do VR, You are really only setting it up for people disappointed by it only for it to be dropped early onI’m sorry but every time VR comes up I have to post.

First time I hear about this patent. Could you show it somehow here? I'd be very interested if Nintendo does VR, however I think it would be more suitable if they kept it just being 3D like 3DSNintendo did have a big new VR patent last year I think
I'd take 8GB for an OLED!I would gladly take 128Gb for 16Gb of RAM and an OLED display
is it too late to drop cores?You folks keep your hands off those precious 16GB RAM when looking for parts to trade for an OLED screen!
is it too late to drop cores?
Even the Switch OLED Screen is HDR capable, so if its OLED HDR is very likely (the question is if Nintendo supports it).Its probably a very low probability to get 16gb plus oled, let alone a hdr+90hz panel right?
What leak? That was a financial analyst speaking about their expectations. We have way better sources inside this very topic saying that info is wrong.regarding the 64gb storage, 8gb ram & 120hz screen leak, considering how realistic it sounds, can we consider that to be our very first strong leak regarding switch 2's specs? also it didn't mention Backwards compat so that's something else out of the table
Theres nothing realistic about the leak and the source is known to be very off with Nintendo related things.regarding the 64gb storage, 8gb ram & 120hz screen leak, considering how realistic it sounds, can we consider that to be our very first strong leak regarding switch 2's specs? also it didn't mention Backwards compat so that's something else out of the table
Oh boy, it doesn’t sound realistic. And it can’t be considered our „very first strong leak”. It’s like all 2260 pages on this forum were for nothingregarding the 64gb storage, 8gb ram & 120hz screen leak, considering how realistic it sounds, can we consider that to be our very first strong leak regarding switch 2's specs? also it didn't mention Backwards compat so that's something else out of the table
"Because Nintendo" is a garbage excuse for people who can't back up their garbage argumentsbefore anyone jumps into me saying that this is false, we need to remember this is Nintendo we're talking about
they're willing to do a crappy storage & a fine enough ram memory to save money for their console
Yes, I’m sure Nintendo spent a huge amount of time and money developing a fully custom, cutting edge SOC just to hamstring it with insufficient RAM and enough storage for one game. That’s extremely logical and very Nintendo.before anyone jumps into me saying that this is false, we need to remember this is Nintendo we're talking about
they're willing to do a crappy storage & a fine enough ram memory to save money for their console
Afaik, no, but it should be a statement that's allowed to be heckled.Genuine question - is “Because Nintendo” a reportable offense here? I think I’ve seen discussion but don’t recall if it was. Not talking about borderline cases but about the obvious (ie “remember this is Nintendo we are talking about, they are willing to crap out” etc)
This is how you want to be rememberedHi Taiwan, I would like to bet and double your fake-spec-predict:
If I lose, I'll change my avatar to shiba-inu for 2 weeks
