oh geez, I just realized I misread what you initially posted, I thought you were saying LiC was going too far, but I see now.
I can see it being released this year, but it's not gonna have the same impact as a 3d Mario, Zelda or Pokemon as a system seller. Will be interesting to see how it plays out though. Il
I genuinely cannot think of a funnier outcome than the Joycon being revealed and still being black buttons with white text. The months wasted on this topic for nothing would be too glorious.
Seems to me like that'd be a waste. If it's going to use DLSS docked, it probably will handheld as well. And if it's not going to use DLSS at all... that's just throwing performance away. "7 out of 10 look better native" sounds good, but "20-60% better frame rate, and still matches native in stills 3 out of 10 times" also sounds good.
Seems like it'd be even easier, considering every single Switch game has to be built for two resolution outputs anyway. But only a handful of games give the option of outputting at handheld resolution with greater frame rate, so shrug.
If it was as easy as "We want this many, so make this many", we'd see a lot fewer year 1 shortages. It's not going to be realistic or efficient to force production to 3 million/month to sate launch, then have to cut it back drastically.
I didn’t mean that Switch 3 would have a solution built by another GPU manufacturer. I was referring to the fact that NVIDIA has a new business division for custom solutions for AI as well as video game consoles. They could do a chip that will be even more customized and distinct from the Tegra
i kinda of understand him, countless years of Switch Pro rumors that lead to nowhere, now the same apply to Switch sucessor, 5 years of Switch sucessor rumors and 4 years of Switch sucessor rumors, one day the leakers/insiders will get right when Nintendo launch it next console.
If we want to talk branding, beyond what I've said on it before, the four colours have been part of the Nintendo brand for nearly the entire time since SNES.oh geez, I just realized I misread what you initially posted, I thought you were saying LiC was going too far, but I see now.
YES I hope the buttons on the new hardware are a real thing. I was always a fan of the North American grey/purple scheme but have since come around the multi-color scheme as well. I'd welcome either.
I mean the iPhone didn't take off till the iphone 4. These MR platfroms imo won't take of until software and hardware reaches affordability and maturity. It remains to seen if Apple can pull it off in the consumer space.
The fact that he is not being sarcastic
That might be the worst take I have ever seen by the way
DLSS does not consume power at the same frequency, but it allows you to have increased image quality at the same frequency. DLSS actually serves to save power in a mobile device, not consume an excess.
I kind of agree: I fully expect the system to have grey or black controllers by default with fully coloured buttons.
That’s what I mean. For Switch games that get next-gen patches, the option to toggle DLSS on to save power and thereby increase battery life
Fair enough.
Based racoon
Is there a single Switch game that has graphic settings? I wouldn't put it past Nintendo to have some dumb policy against it.
There's a name I haven't seen in a long time. And probably won't for a while. 2028 seems like the earliest possible year for release (my personal guess is 2030), considering Starfield only just wrapped up. Hell will freeze over before TES6 is a 2024 release imo.
Some with performance/quality modes, even Nintendo published. (FE Warriors)
last time I did this was with DS Lite and OG 3DS.
Switch 1 games will not be able to use DLSS not even with next gen patches, they would need to be ported for that.
3DS XL was pushing things, the Switch Lite is already too big to fit in anything smaller than a handbag.
Darksiders Remastered has performance / quality modes.
I know, I just thought it would be a neat way to compensate for not having that sort of hardware, given that the concept only allows for the base screen to be the VR screen (it would just slide into the dock, which would fold into a headset in one or two steps). It's a Labo-like solution.You don't need a 3DS-like screen for VR. Existing headsets either give each eye a separate screen, or (like Labo) take the one screen and give most of the left side to the left eye and most of the right side to the right eye.
But for reasons of size practicality, the trend in VR has been to small, dense screens. Someone earlier was joking about what if the screen rumors were a misunderstanding and it was 8cm rather than 8 inches. That would be a bit more suited for VR, even if 1080p would still be quite low.
I tried finding information about the actual size of the screens the Quest 3 uses and couldn't, but in this teardown they remove a section including the screen/lens/etc. for one of the eyes and there's a 2064x2208 screen in here.
TIL I'm buck wild
We'll see when the final form factor is revealed but there are many reasons I take the Switch on flights and leave the Deck at home. One of the main ones is that the thing takes up so much space that I'd rather not deal with the effort it takes to pack it.
I think the Joy-Con will change shape to improve comfort as they get bigger, but honestly I think they nailed the Dock the first time! I think a unique and wacky dock design would be fun, but I think there's a chance they just reuse the current Dock, like how they reused the WiFi Adapter power supply for DSi through 2DS XL.Hmmmm.. I just thought of something.
I have 2 Switches at home, both sitting kind of behind the TVs.
I buy the Switch 2, and I place it behind the TV too next to the Switch.
Since most of my playtime is on TV, it stays there for days, maybe weeks before I finally take it out the dock. I usually reach and pull out the Switch with a quick look.
Now here's the dilemma:
Since they both look the same, from what we think Switch 2 will look like based on all those mockups, how will I know which one's which? And the same goes for my kids. I don't want to keep pulling out the wrong one first.
In conclusion:
There must be a clear differentiator that makes it super easy for people to quickly tell which is the Switch 2. The size won't be enough since the difference isn't that obvious.
So all I could think of is it's either the dock will have a completely new look that will clearly differentiate it from the Switch's dock, like how you can tell different generation consoles apart from their distinct looks (since the dock is the "home console" part of the system), or the joycons will have a completely different shape and look as well. Or...
yeah the size is one of those things that depends greatly on the individual
One of the things that caught my eye in this video is the artifacts that show up is a 1080p DLSS Quality image which otherwise do not show up in a 4K DLSS Quality image. To put it another way I think DLSS will be consistently good when the base resolution will be relatively high begin with but some current gen ports may not always be able to achieve that high base resolution and the final image may have some artifacts.
I'll go back to carrying my Switch case like an unfashionable oblong clutch.

I want this to end up in a clickbait thumbnail

I hope someone takes it and uses it for some BS rumor. I put the Super Famicom color scheme in there bc all the discussion, and I hope someone spins it as Mario RPG confirms it's real or something.
2026 seen to soon for a new Legend of Zelda game, 2028 seen more likely when the next Legend of Zelda is released,i believe Nintendo will make the next Animal Crossing a priority, so the should release in 2025 istead of 2027.

I think most students will have room in their bag for the new system, really. If you have a case you can throw it in with the "general population", and I keep it in the laptop slot if the bag has one. I don't think many young people use Twitter today nowadays anyway, it's a bit like Facebook is to us, the social media platform for older internet users out of touch with the youth. Only with more racism and transphobia, somehow.
I think it'll impact portability, I won't deny that, but Switch was already too big for most people to carry it around without a bag anyway, and the new system doesn't change that. Meanwhile, bigger screens are desirable, as is improved comfort. They sacrifice a little bit of portability appeal (which they will likely claw back with the Lite 2), to get some appeal in another area. Sacrifices, swings, and roundabouts.
But now I'm thinking about next gen accessories. I wonder what the first party carrying case will look like. It isn't great on Switch/OLED, it's so tight it sort of wears the sticks down. Maybe a rigid flipcase?
