next gen patchbros...we're winning...
Okay, as someone who has almost 1000 hours in Splatoon 3....what the heck is Nintendo doing to improve the internet capability? and how the heck did that get so screwed up in the Switch?!
I literally just played a game where three of my team members disconnected and two on the enemy team. I obviously lost because I was by myself, but I was cracking up at how ridiculous it was. It's a great game, but "a connection error has occurred" deserves to be a meme.
In this 5G era we live in, surely Nintendo can do better with the Switch 2?
I worded that badly, I know that it was an intentional decision to make all surfaces reflective (probably to accentuate the paper aesthetic), I just think it was bad decision.
If I may, this is part why I think the idea of paid patches is a non-starter. Not only do these games not seem to have any DRM checks on their resolution, the resolution cap's 4K support is baked in. In some games it would be more work to charge for a patch than simply provide them. Beyond that, of course, charging people to use sections of code they already own a copy of is, in my view, unethical, like on-disk DLC or manipulative in-app purchases.
Is 1 or 4mb of l2 cache gpu, we dont know
Your last post was awhile back, so I wasn’t sure. But you may haven’t read this yet:

God, I know! How outrageous, right? Nevermind that I get significantly nauseous and dizzy playing 30FPS games and now my favorite game of all time has been remade with its original frame rate chopped in half.
Which is such a change. Because either remember when Unreal engine 3 wouldn't even touch the Wii. Then again Wii didn't have programmable shaders.... or multicore.... or over 100 MB of ram.here's a tip, if someone is saying they have inside deets about acquisitions, they're automatically bullshit.
Epic posted an interview about the mobile/pc/ps open world gacha game, Wuthering Waves. pointing out this interview because it shows that even when you target low end devices like mobile, you can still stand with some of the best looking games. also gives a bit of insight about some limitations that Switch/Drake would run into, namely bandwidth constraints
Well, this great. So I will try and get this game around rhe Switch 2 launch.
I know it's sort of a long shot, but is there a chance the engine is handling its resolution in terms of percentages instead of a hard-coded value? Like right now at a 1080p/docked output, it internally renders at 83% so 900p, while a 720p/portable output, it renders at 88% so 640p. Maybe if it recognizes a higher value from the OS, say 2160p/docked, it could adjust its target to 83% so 1800p, while 1080p/portable could adjust to 88% so 960p? Sort of like an automatic upgrade without needing a dedicated patch?
would 4mb be enough to prevent a bottleneck?
Sure, for some games like TTYD you can easily have it run at 4K60 out of the box on T239, but for more demanding games like TotK, Doom Eternal, and MK1, I imagine that more work is needed to get them over the hump, probably through DLSS. That's the kind of thing you can charge for.
And the market would react with such understanding, kindness, and generosity when little Timmy doesn't understand why he's being nickle and dimed when he boots up Tears of the Kingdom for the first time on his new console when all his other games just look better "like magic".
These would be good things for someone to look into before posting a screenshot of 10 lines of code and claiming the game is "handling 4K resolutions."
Nah It's just me being mad about how in the modern Paper Mario games they put much more emphasis on the paper aesthetic.
I don't think a 3D Mario game needs that much buildup from reveal to release, especially if it's a launch title. It'll be fine being announced alongside the console itself.
Basically any potential bottleneck thought
Well, I meant meaningful for us as people who are constantly speculating whether and how "cross-gen" or "enhancement" might be on the table for the next console. The code is probably there for a reason, I just think it's highly unlikely that reason has anything to do with the new console.
could Nintendo been planning to patch the Paper Mario the Thousand Years Door remake, in case the game run on Switch sucessor?
One thing that I know of is that it’s using the same engine as origami king.
It used 5K screenshots? Were they using the Mac Pro Display by any chance lol
This isn't anything to do with the Switch itself and rather just the implementation of multiplayer in these games. Netcode is very hard, even for the most experienced developers, and Nintendo's first party developers especially seem to struggle with it.Okay, as someone who has almost 1000 hours in Splatoon 3....what the heck is Nintendo doing to improve the internet capability? and how the heck did that get so screwed up in the Switch?!

Have you got those on hand? I'm curious.
There's a lot of missing context. It's plausible that this could somehow relate back to new hardware, but even it it does, there's a pretty high chance it's not finished.
No one is saying it isn’t.
Are you talking to the people here or Nintendo???
Theoretically speaking, could NX2 provide a mode where somehow CPU clocks are increased and (I guess) GPU clocks are decreased? This would allow to keep Switch temps and battery comsuption in check while increasing the chances of these CPU demanding/limited games to be ported. Obviously this would be at the cost of visual fidelity but might be worth it?
That would certainly help but the crappy textures would need some actual work. Look at how it looks on yuzu at 4K. Yes, it's certainly more pleasant to watch but, ugh, the grayish colors, the crappy coloring, weird lighting, muddy textures, etc. are all still there.
wasn't there a rumor surrounding a remaster of the bayonetta games on switch 2? probably best to ask here about its validity
This look like a working code, so it is active. Maybe for play that game in 4K is only necessary to put it in the right hardware. Not only it can confirm a retro with switch 1, but 4K output possible for switch 1 games on the Switch 2.
I was referring to the original poster, not to you.I didn't make any claim about the game engine, just that I saw the post.
It's true I don't know what the snippet of code shared does, but it could be an output option in the game buffer. If the game renders at 900p docked but outputs at 1080p through simple buffer upscaling, then this -- if real -- could just mean 4K output has been added to the underlying engine. An engine that was reused, after all.
It was a neat find that I shared. I didn't speculate (until now!) -- that's for you all.
