Not entirely. There are certain absolute minimums. 8nm isn't the trainwreck people make it out to be.
what would be the codename?
Show JoyCon parties where everyone drops their JoyCon in a fishbowl and people who draw matching pairs have to play 99 stock 1v1 Final Destination.
It definitely confirms the detail that there will be a form change mechanic tied to Terastall. Beyond that, it's less clear.
what’d he say
karmitt was kind enough to transcribe the relevant bits.
In my opinion, Jeff Grubb didn't really say anything significant.
The cynicism does get really old after a while. Nintendo's current president is the most conservative one they've had since entering the games industry. He won't try to fix what clearly ain't broken.The ride never ends. When Switch _____ is eventually announced and it has the specs and feature-set that we in this thread were expecting since March of last year including DLSS, BC, etc. I'm expecting to hear a lot of "Wow, never would have expected this from Nintendo, but they'll still find a way to fuck up" &c &c. Not even like what we're expecting is pie in the sky, Nintendo using Orin for Switch 2 is parallel to them using Erisa in 2016 but with the advantages of customization and progress of mobile tech.
And I will rejoice!
Calling it Super Switch or Super Nintendo Switch would be just perfect. It handily conveys to casual audiences that "this is a successor" while also hitting old farts like me in the nostalgia bone. It's a win-win.
Yeah, I would prefer that Nintendo just stick with the Switch family for at least 2 more gens. They don't need to introduce some wild gimmick to every new system they put out. Nintendo's erstwhile need to constantly innovate really harmed the Wii U, imo.
The way the branding works they can add whatever they want and it'd still be called a Switch. Games supporting dual screens through wireless streaming? New Switch mode. Dual screens / portrait mode by flipping the Switch tablet 90 degrees? Another mode. Additional VR/AR modes through headsets and cameras? Yet another. They already did this with Labo VR and Mario Kart Live. An IR camera on the tablet that tracks full-body movements while you play a fitness game with joy-con? Yet another feature for docked/tabletop mode. The platform is permissive of whatever new features they want without abandoning the core appeal or alienating a specific audience.
Historically they've been pretty good about it if you think about it: GB-GBC-GBA, DS-DSi-3DS-n3DS, GC-Wii-Wii U. Their big problem was just relying on hardware to do BC, which led to eventual dead ends and most noticeably hamstrung hardware choices like with the Wii U. They never really established a software base/OS as a foundation that can continue on until the Switch (although I think technically it has its roots from the 3DS days?). Hopefully it'll let them have more compatibility flexibility like what MS has been able to pull off.
Mobile, movies and theme parks would like a word
It really isn't useful shorthanded. It's not even shorthanded. It's a stupid trend here that went out of hand.[REDACTED] is useful shorthand and the closest thing to an official name we have, given that's the actual term used to refer to it in legal documentation
Can't believe I started a Famiboard meme, I barely post... Outside this thread.
…it ain’t that deep.
So it's gonna flop like the 3DS too then. In other words, they're gonna price it too high at launch.
. That actually wouldn't surprise me if they they did go above $400 considering how they are pricing their games (especially Wii and Wii u ports), and not giving Perma price drops on their consoles (yet).[Redacted] at this point.
EPD employees don't agree. There will be the "gimmick" whatever that is that will be something new and unique, if people are only expecting Switch but with better specs they are so wrong.
I would really like if they called it Super Nintendo Switch and use the old Super Nintendo color palette on the system and game boxes.
I don't think Nintendo is ready for VR just yet and VR isn't that much for mass market as some people believe. I also can't imagine their teams developing full fledged VR games just yet when their biggest productions are just taking more and more and that's just a normal 3D games.
Of course he did. He promised to neber ever talk about a Nintendo rumor without checking sources because of the Zelda WWTP mess.
I’d like to add a couple of case studies to demonstrate the benefits of game updates for the developers.
pretty much, but i would argue, by now they are on nintendos internal level in regards to proficiency with the Switch hardware.
Out of the blue trailer with release date
And nintendo demonstrated that they know the effect already by trying to have consecutive small scale free updates for all their games.I’d like to add a couple of case studies to demonstrate the benefits of game updates for the developers.
Golf Peaks
(iOS store, number of sales; source)
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
(All stores, gross revenue; source)
As the charts illustrate, version/feature updates is one of the levers available to the publishers to stimulate game sales. Even porting to another platform (which a new gen kind of is) can do wonders for sales on the original platform (previous gen). The press and storefront highlights generated from the updates and ports further augment the positive effects.
These case studies suggest that patching games for Drake potentially can increase ROI, and we may see a robust number of legacy titles being patched.
And a tweet hinting at the time before that + leaks all over the place, a lot of "
" tweets from insiders in the days and hours before.
Probably not. Just expanding on video recording would necessitate more ram
doesn't have to be, could as well increase it so that it can support more features (game streaming?), but does it actually use 1GB curently? i thought it was something between 500 and 800mb?
