The only new thing that I think I want out of the Switch OS is some sort of telephony stuff. Really, that's it. For the occasion that I want to do a multiplayer game with people (really just Borderlands), the Xbox's built-in telephony is fantastic. Even just being able to stream bidirectional audio at the controller would be enough to let a game do it itself.
Hey, can you put WINE on your Switch and try the Final Fantasy 15 demo? I would love to see the results.
Team 8 GBs is punching the air crying.
I am getting flashbacks to "VRAM in 2020-2024: Why 10GB is enough" which is from 2020 and it's aged like milk. It's got GDDR6X it's fast as fuck boiii. I lived that life. my 3080 from 2020 was feeling dire by 2022. Deadweight in 2024. Turns out the speed that people thought would compensate ended up not. Yeah, it's not a directly related situation. But I got the same feeling of dread lol. I'm not even worried about Series X/PS5 ports. I'm sure it'll be fine there. it's the gen after that I think about. wonder if devs are gonna have to go out their way to miracle port their stuff for next gen which is probably like what 4 years away?
Yeah and different games, steam deck will not play any Drake games any times soon.
Xenoblade X remastered!
Considering the last one being on next gen (but it’s also on last gen), and being on console with Sophisticated decompression engines too, I doubt that lol
I’m mostly curious if Switch 2 sales are good enough we might see more developers focusing on the Switch 2 first and NG console second.
No wireless VR, sad.
On the RetroNX server back in in the day, I very vividly recall hearing that the Tegra X1 board used in the Switch 1.0 could only handle up to 15W safely. I'd imagine that it'd incur a small tick in BoM cost to revise the Switch 2's board to handle up to 20W safely, but have the actual system in question draw like 15W when docked.
I can't remember the last time they were right about something Nintendo related.
You can find this info for yourself on the shipment data website. For free even, without subscription (although with subscription you'd have better search functionalities and have access to more info, like number of units in a shipment).
any excuse to expand their service and charge more money, they'll do. god help us if they add a camera too. machine learned motion and audio recognition? this shit would be Kinect perfected
disgusting things
Or you could just accept that even though the Switch 2 will get more third party AAA games than the Switch got, it will still mainly be a Nintendo playing console, with third party AAA games more being a bonus rather than a given like it is for PS and Xbox.
Mostly because I presume the mindset of ,,because Nintendo’’ is still running rampant, but it has the positive of people expectation being low, when the Switch 2 is reveal, most people will think of it has a huge upgrade.
The OLED is somewhat of a pro and it didn't get a ram increase and IIRC the PS4 didn't get a ram increase either.
Team 8:
I don’t really think it mattered much considering that the point of the ARAM was for audio and for the auxiliary I/O devices. There were times where instructions can be dumped into the ARAM only temporarily to free of space for whatever was needed, but the focus was really for audio and something like the GBA player.
Did Nintendo care when Eurogamer release factory leaks in August, but release the trailer in late October?
I don't know. Will the gen after PS5/Xbox Series X really have that much of a power increase? Especially with how fucked the industry is as a whole with ludicrous budgets and mass layoffs/closures, I'm not sure if it is even worth pushing power, graphics, and the like that much further.
Unless I'm mistaken (LiC/Thraktor can correct me if I'm wrong) - those was found looking through most recent NL-AMxx data, probably.I have to say that finding the exact string for the UFS/RAM shipments can only be done by good detectives lol
16GB for now but PS6 and next-gen Xbox are coming sooner now that MS/Sony have both admitted their consoles flopped this gen. No doubt we’ll have more RAM in those which could be a problem for Switch 2 to keep up with.
Yeah i mean Sony is barely having any profit margins with the specs they release on current PS5, how would they stay affloat with a coming super hardware when their profit margins have collapsed even during the PS5 era?
even ignoring 3rd parties it makes me think of the concessions devs of 1st party games will have in the future. Examples like Princess Peach Showtime and Thousand Year Door. They're 900p. I wonder what devs would have needed for them to be 1080p.
I did, but you need to write the exact same string. Maybe having access to the premium service makes it easier checking +10rows...
Problem in what sense? Because Nintendo won't get any AAA games? That has already been the case since the Switch era begun, except a few miracle ports. So even if that future happens, it just means that in a few years time Nintendo won't get AAA games, just like they didn't get for the past 8 years anyway.
Jetson Orin NX is 102.4GB/s of LPDDR5 FWIW
I think one of the big problems with 9th gen was the lack of supply at the beginning which led to studios doing crossdev with 8th gen for too long, and now we’re already running into console power limitations just as they’re trying to make exclusives. So for 10th gen they’ll want to make more exclusives to take advantage of the greater power, which could leave Switch 2 behind quickly depending on how well 10th gen games will scale over.
Finally Switch 2 will run Minecraft without frame drops.
Xbox I can understand, but the ps5?
Mmm, 3DS to Switch was a pretty big increase
The Saturn, Wii U and Dreamcast combined would dream to get the PS5 sales numbers.
I think it’s not even half.
