the p01 stuff is real and not new at all... first subdomains appeared at the end on 2022
as of now there is 24 subdomain across various test environment, nothing about Ounce from what I see but they do indeed show up in the same schem as some HAC subdomain

Pretty much every Switch era Nintendo game gets rated no more than 5 months before release. TTYD is very much an outlier among Engage and Prime Remastered.

It is not when it has been rated at the same time as other games that have been released on the same dates.

In any case, the fact is that the ratings record does not indicate that the game is finished in its development.

I think those are the only "counterpart" examples I could find that has hac and p01 in both.

The other p01 subdomains seems to have no hac counterparts:

Ofure means official notice in japanese
 
I'm loving the ramping up of leaks here and there regarding Nintendo's Switch 2. I can't wait to see clock speeds and design/feature leaks. Third party games that will come, etc.

So...
Click to expand...

There are so many things that "P01" could mean, and basically none of them attach it to "Ounce". If that was what Nintendo was going for, it would be obvious.

Most likely either the P stands for "Production" and Nintendo is just moving away from platform specific server names, or it's actually just a placeholder. There is an outside chance it could be the final product prefix for the new system, but it doesn't really follow the format, and even if it is, those frequently have no relation to codenames.
 
I'm a simple person, I just want to play Super Mario Odessey 2 & Red Dead Redemption 2 on coming Switch 2 in solid 1080p60fps handheld mode with low or medium graphics for 3 - 4 hours gameplay in a single charge. That's it

Where's the new doom for switch 2 news?
Click to expand...
They can't just announce the game for a console that has not even been announced yet. In fact, they're not even allowed to; I'm pretty sure every studio that has a Switch 2 devkit had to sign an NDA about not making any comments about the Switch 2.

But you can rest assured, once the Switch 2 has been announced, every third party developer who has been secretly developing for it will come forward and make their own announcements too.

That's... Not true? A "suped up PS4 Pro with modern architecture" would be... Above the Series S in raw performance? If you gave such a device DLSS it would trade post-upcale punches with PS5, not Series S.

Why do people forget Series S and PS4 Pro have the same FLOP count and the Switch successor has a more modern architecture than both. I don't think it'll quite scrape Series S in raw performance in TV mode, but given what we know we would be expecting it to hit higher resolutions after DLSS, not the same. At least for most games. Sacrifices would be present in other areas, no doubt, but benefits in realms like RT. It's not a portable Series S, but it's in that performance category, better in some areas, worse in others.

Cross gen isn't that relevant to the Switch successor, it'll be more or less over by launch, too.

Framing the device as last gen or reliant on it isn't merely dimly pessimistic, it's inaccurate.

Meanwhile, COD is a non-issue. They are contractually obligated to release it on a Nintendo system for years to come. Why would there be any doubt, or question? Any relevance of PS4?
Click to expand...

I absolutely agree with everything. The Switch 2 is a 9th gen console and, everything we've ever heard put, puts it roughly on-par with the Series S in Docked Mode. "On-par" is the key word here. In some ways, the Series S is better. In other ways, like Ray-Tracing, the Switch 2 beats the heck out of dang near everything.

I'm sure this is what the Matrix Awakens reports meant by "visuals comparable to a PS5 and XBX". Is it truly as powerful, whether visually or in specs, as either console? No, it won't be. It's literally impossible in a cost-effective hybrid console. But that doesn't mean it's not more than the sum of it's parts or that it won't deliver an 9th-gen experience. When you consider it's more modern architecture, a modern GPU off of Ampere and Lovelace, a CPU that kicks the snot out out of the PS4 and PS4 Pro, SSD-like speeds and virtually instant load times, the potential for 4k output, DLSS and so-forth...you basically get the Series S. Not on paper, but close enough visually in experience that the layman isn't going to care. They're going to be too hecking busy being wowed by the fact that this little powerhouse of a console was made by Nintendo. The same people who made a dorky purple box. That's, like, against the rules or something.

It's going be the closest Nintendo has ever gotten to the rest of the "competition" since the Gamecube. It's still a ways away from the heavy-hitting PS5 and XBX at the top of the ladder, but it's got some very powerful tricks up it's sleeve with the best upscaling tech and ray-tracing on the market. The Switch 2 is comparatively going to be on the bottom rung of the 9th gen, but it's still very much a 9th gen console with all the speed and modern amenities (e.g. SSD speeds and extremely fast storage, modern CPUS, ray-tracking and image upscaling, etc) of a 9th gen console. Cloud Strife's hair may be missing a pixel or two, but I doubt most people will complain. Except maybe Aerith.

If it wasn't obvious, I'm excited

Oh my GOD. That puts the pieces together for me!

There's so many clones and repeats of existing servers and services, it couldn't make sense to double up your complexity and costs when you're mostly doing the same stuff. The translation server between HAC and P01, the supposed ability of P01 to, perhaps, accept "Ounce" certificates.

It's just a number on a newish, platform agnostic server system (heavily based on the Switch server system). That would also explain why it's been rolling out for years without consequence. If they're doing anything right now, they're just part of the existing network, chugging along.

Smooth transition, hm?

Doubtful p01 = production when there are couple of p01 that also happens to have "sandbox" in the subdomain name.

At least where I work, we don't normally indicate anything is production in the subdomain - instead, we insert something into subdomain if it's a lower environment (ie: dev, staging, whatever. api.mydomain.net for production, api.dev.mydomain.net or api-dev.mydomain.net for dev, etc)

Some examples of "production" vs "sandbox":

hikarie-sandbox.nntt.mng.nintendo.net
hikarie.nntt.mng.nintendo.net

key-sandbox.combine.mng.nintendo.net
key.combine.mng.nintendo.net

I don't necessarily believe p01 have anything to do with NG Switch, but I think we can rule out p01 meaning production here.

I know this is unrelated to the thread precisely, but it is something I've discussed in here about how dire the Xbox software situation is and why PC may help the Switch 2 more than the Series S (because I don't know how much longer third-parties would bother to support the Series S if not for also wanting to target the Steam Deck etc)

I think there's relevance to it being "generic", or platform agnostic, at least. P01 doesn't really seem to fit into... Any codenames we think we know, or any product code system Nintendo has used in the past.

Given their continued server changes over several years and the focus on a smooth transition, I'd definitely say that slowly rolling in servers that appear to be platform agnostic is an indicator that they could be looking to have one set of servers across the generations, much like Microsoft.

I think people may actually fall for this one, so I unfortunately must warn people that NTR is a porn genre where women humiliate their boyfriends/husbands/guys who want to date them by having sex with other men (who are often either very ugly to heighten the humiliation or are black due to how racist the authors generally are).

Correct, I’m seeing examples other than p01 so I’m not sure why that one was singled out when there’s others besides just “p01”. Midori probably need to explain why she thinks it has anything to do with NG Switch (I’m assuming it’s her research if that’s what is meant by “original research” phrasing in her tweet)

I won't rule out P01 meaning production, despite the presence of sandbox domains. As much as there's reasons to doubt. [letter][number] is an organisation I've seen with servers (and obviously, like, anything) before. I wouldn't be so afraid of saying they could use P to mean production as in live, something I've also seen before. The contradictions? Planned production/product servers get the name ahead of time? Testing them before hitting go? Who knows. We can truly only speculate, though I think your explanation is probably accurate. Following on from that, it seems P01 is just generic.

The fact there's more is honestly encouraging to me. What I don't want to see is solidly seperate servers for the next generation, placing potential limitations on the crossover of the eShop or crossplay, etc.

It kind of depends, going generic is not necessarily always the right choice. For example, they might need to restrict (sub)domains to a specific product (ie: hac) because the servers used for a different console (ie: Ounce, Muji, whatever) needs to be handled in a different way. In other cases, going with generic (sub)domains makes more sense.

How would PC help the Switch 2 more?

In which more developers will target lower end PCs, for example the RTX 2000 series?.

Also I oldpluck mentioned that Switch 2 would actually help Microsoft more, mostly because more developers will most likely first optimised for the Switch 2, then later the series s.

NTR has to be from Japan. Otherwise it's just sparkling cuckoldry.

The main thing I can think of is that current and last gen PS and Xbox consoles are all AMD systems, whereas the vast majority of PC GPUs nowadays are Nvidia. PC versions would therefore have to be optimized for Nvidia's architectures.

I think that happened actually for the Switch once because the similar Nvidia architecture.

That game was Portal, was a really fun surprise, surprisingly it doesn’t have a PS4-PS5 or a Xbox release (if we don’t count Xbox BC)

That’s actually a really interesting observation.

Edit: also most big title uses some sort of Nvidia, like Alan wake 2 and I think Baldur gate 3 are mostly Nvidia, which makes me intrigued seeing the porting progress for those games.

I just feel she's just trying to find anything that might seem to fit, especially when it comes to code names, acronyms, etc.

Look, I’ll do one right now.

P01.
P = Product
01 = Number One

Product Number One.

Capcom had a game back in the GameCube days called P.N.03, or Product Number 3.

Product Number 1 must mean a prequel to PN03, and a rebirth of this series with a possible remake of PN03 coming to Switch 2.

SP stands most likely for Special Project

When you use SP on projects it’s often for something VERY Special, a game changer product/project
