Well it's more powerful than the Switch so yeah I expect the battery to run out faster if the switch was pushing out the sane graphics I'm sure the batter life would be lower. But if you want those 3rd party games and better running portably it's pretty much the only option you got.
Attention fellow speculators!!!
With the help of @Meelow, I have made an avatar bet thread regarding the reveal and release of the Switch successor. If you wish to participate, just click the link below, so you can view the rules. Any inquiries and feedback should be shared in the thread on question.
Avatar Bet: When do we expect Nintendo's next system to be revealed and released?
Howdy, y'all (I'm not Southern, I just wanted to be cheeky). Former strongest soldier for #Team2023, @D36, with the help of @Meelow, here to present the wonderful residents of Famiboards with a little bet. An avatar bet, as it were. With all of leaks and rumors surrounding Nintendo's next system...famiboards.com
This is exactly what makes the whole EPD 9 situation confusing. I'm pretty sure they weren't doing that "all this time" either.
Ok, but assuming the next system is more powerful than the current one, it would still be great to get new ports of 3rd party games that haven’t made it to Nintendo yet. Regardless of the existence of the Steam Deck.
Everyone who voted here, the bet has moved to a new thread.

It’s a good possibility they have, but I don’t really see why that should preclude them from wanting to see Switch 2 releases of games they want to play.
Why was he banned? I don’t see itEveryone who voted here, the bet has moved to a new thread.

Not to spam, I just forgot about the previous bet, with bellydrum permabanned and all.
Size remains as a problem for many of the current gen games, not just GTA6. That's the part I'm curious if Nintendo find a solution to. Ports still need to go through some optimization phase but how much they can compress and how DLSS could help this, I'm not sure.
DLSS won't help with that at all. It just upscales the output, not the textures
It's important to remember how EPD works in these discussions. The groups are actually a handful of people who pull devs from a pool. So it's not like they had many folks idle. The MK leads (the core EPD9) were most likely planning MK10 while they were planning and working on Tour and BCP
They could. There's already a GI system in the game that can be adapted to ray tracing. RT shadows and ambient occlusion would be a be an upgrade over the effects in the game already.
Rockstar never released PC Port day one with consoles, is always year later, the only difference was MP3 but it was linear game
I expect 32GB Game Cards will be the norm for NG Switch.
Do we have information on how compression works on PS5? Is it a prescribed method that precludes the use of other compression formats?
What happened bellydrum?
Just for complete clarification, since the phrase 'temporary ban' implies otherwise, when mods are still working out a duration, that duration can end up being permanent. I'm not saying that is or isn't what would've happened; as a dev, I don't have an inside window on any individual ban decision, including this one. As a staff member, I just don't want people getting a false impression of the moderation process.
Nah, I’d say long after it if we’re talking a substantial announcement like the Switch 1’s October 2016 reveal. This holiday is very clearly all about the Switch 1 & Mario Wonder, especially with it being the former’s last holiday season as the primary Nintendo system. We’ll likely get a reveal early next year, probably next March if what Nate heard about a nebulous March 2024 time of importance for the Switch 2 is any indication.
Supposedly if they're using that newish Macronix tech, they can use 128GB cards that are cheaper to produce than current 16GB cards.
Sakurai actually does flip-flop between doing so. But EPD 9 does see Tour as mainline.
this is purely speculation and completely impractical to say. tour was not designed as a regular mario kart experience like the others were, to the point nintendo literally can't name the next game mario kart 10 without raising confusion
The idea of 128-256GB Game Cards with 300+MBps read speeds sounds almost TOO hopeful to my brain.
Probably because it is.
Oh, I thought you were referencing some article from the dev saying this
The competition has required full installs to storage even for physical games for a decade now. The market is largely whatever about this.
It does sound too good to be true but it's apparently true that they offer this tech, and have for like 4 years now.
If Mario Kart X comes out (Switch 2 release title baby!) there will be no consumers going "WTF NINTENDO? WHERE IS 9?" Consumers will be like "Oooh new MK game, cool!"
What is the reason that it couldn't be used today, on the current Switch?
It may not be compatible with the existing game card slot? They'd have to redesign the cards completely, which is something you can do on a new console much much easier than for an existing one.
