Hey everyone, staff have documented a list of banned content and subject matter that we feel are not consistent with site values, and don't make sense to host discussion of on Famiboards. This list (and the relevant reasoning per item) is viewable here.

The original DevKit (which is still being sold to developers) had a different shape and different outputs (e.g. ethernet) than the retail version. So maybe this is not a DevKit but a TestKit with final form factor.

Wasn't Super Nintendo World already announced in like 2022?

Yeah, but why announce its opening out of the blue rather than in a Direct? It is a pretty important project for the Nintendo IP.

Maybe the museum will occupy the time slot instead of the theme park?
They could always juat mention it, dedicate it some 3-5 minutes

I get your point. My wife has a nice bedside stand for her Samsung Flip. Mine just has a USB C shoved up in it. Style points for her?

Yeah, if these are being shipped outside of Nvidia and Nintendo, this makes sense.

Nintendo Will Build 10 Million 'Switch 2' Units For First Wave
It has been claimed that Nintendo will manufacture 10 million Switch 2 units to avoid any shortages when the console is released.insider-gaming.com
I know we discussed this at length over the weekend, but this particular quote stuck out to me.
"according to sources close to the manufacturing centres across Asia"
Could we attribute this to a new funcle (factory uncle, for the uninitiated), or anything else noteworthy?
Sounds to me like a rewording of the Bloomberg article where they said the analyst had spoken to companies within the supply chain - or something like that.

I think linking Insider Gaming is now allowed here.

gotta love Super Metal Dave. Although he did some good research for one of his previous video, he is back to his nonsense again. He has a new video out now where he did some 'research' and he think there is two options for the Switch 2. The first is of course the T239. The other option is a Samsung Xclipse 940 GPU. And this GPU has the AMD RDNA3 architecture.
Lol if you knew SMD he does his best to ship Nintendo with AMD. I remember back in the day where he sworn up and down that the Switch was powered by AMD.
I wouldn't be surprised he has a tattoo that looks like this:
Nintendo
+
AMD
forever
Did he ever backpedal when it was announced Switch was going with Nvidia? How long did it take him to go through the 6 stages of grief? I have zero interest in giving him views, so be curious what else is in his mindset, let alone what possessed him to think Nintendo are going with a Samsung GPU that is AMD-based.
That is quite an ingenious implementation actually. Wonder if a similar approach could work for a racing game with the "wind" blowing towards your face to give a sense of speed.
because this is a Universal thing and they had the grand reveal of the project earlier

They often announce stuff relevant to the investor meetings a few days/weeks beforehand. Especially when there are relevant outside partners.

I think we the fans should be labeled relevant outside partners, right?
Right?

AYANEO Flip,
Has a Vapour Chamber + fan for their windows handheld, instead of a two/three heatpipes + fan. While I think the switch 2 will stick to the latter, I'm curious what the costs would be for AYANEO for this cooling system alone, as VC has been used for smartphones (small area) and laptops/GPUs (bigger area) or boutique PC components.
The only console with a VC is the series X, so I'm curious how this handheld would compare to others when it comes to heat dissipation + noise, I expect both of them to be lower

Tbf most of these things are outside of the super low powered “retro” handhelds. All of the portable PC likes from the Deck on have been quite a bit bigger than the Switch.
Still it’s gonna be big especially with 2 screens. Think about how chunky the first gen DS or 3DS models felt. It’s also why I’m not a huge fan of some of this stuff. I love portables, but the size and comfort does matter to me.

The link says 3.5in (88.9mm), which is only slightly smaller than the 3DS XL's bottom screen, but still larger than the regular 3DS touch screen.

Looks tiny cause the rest of the lower housing is so big. We also aren’t used to small screens even on portables anymore.
Some might say we are spoiled : P
I really don't understand this product

That‘s how Totk fans feel right now. We‘re waiting already 8 month! and no new game in sight. It‘s easy to trust the process as a F-Zero fan (as they got 99 recently), but I don‘t know if we Zelda fans will ever leave that contentless desert./s

if by june theres no mention of Switch sucessor, we should accept that Switch sucessor will launch in 2025, Nintendo dont seen concerned on having a new console right now, they will squeeze every possible drop of Nintendo Switch, before thinking of a sucessor launching this year or severals years later

If they're not concerned about Switch 1 sales numbers falling hard, as well as shareholders getting anxious, maybe they should.
I don't think more remasters & remakes will help prop up the Switch 1 sales numbers enough.

Apart from DS/3DS emulation, how will it actually work with games, it's not a handheld console, it's a portable PC.

Like the dozens of other handheld PCs which came after the Steam Deck. But atleast it has a more complete featureset than the other ones

I wonder if Nate is more or less confident in any rumours about March. I'm kind of surprised we haven't had any dev kit/leak rumours recently aside from that bs GameShark rumour, funcles are either silent or unaware.
It exists for people like me to go "shut up and take my money".
Not going to buy one.

So LPDDR5X RAM can come in 8GB wafers? Or did they just put 8 4GB wafers in this?

Switch sales for the remainder of its sales life will sell based on its existing library of games. At this point, even if Nintendo were to release a new 3D Mario on Switch, the game would sell amazingly well but the boost in hardware sales would be minimal. We have hit the point of market saturation and the decline year over year will be significant going forward. Nintendo will be hard pressed to sell more than 8 million Switch units for the upcoming fiscal year. For a console entering its eighth year on the market, that isn't bad, but it is a far cry from the 20+ million units sold per year for multiple years in a row. Its not just about investors complaining about the declining numbers, there is no reason to believe Nintendo's management would be complacent with this reduction is sales. At this point, its looking like Nintendo will have planned correctly, and will have the successor roll out on the exact year that hardware sales for Switch finally see a steep decline. Planning these things isn't an easy thing to do. Release the successor to soon and you cut the Switch's potential short, but if Switch sales had fallen hard back in 2022 with no successor in sight, they would have been criticized for not being prepared. Time will tell, but this may be one of Nintendo's best managed hardware transitions in their history.

You can get up to 64gb so without a deep search i would say 8
