1 hour until what?1 hour until we can possibly hope again
I’m in this camp as well. Sure, it would be neat to have official recognition of its existence, but I already know it’s coming. It won’t make the wait shorter or more exciting. (Similarly, I don’t really care much about their investors or if Nintendo’s stock may take a dip in the short term.) So, a “we’re readying plans to release new dedicated video game hardware, codename ‘NeXt.’ We will release more details at a later date” doesn’t do a whole lot for me. Seeing the console, but more importantly, the games, though? That’s a different story!I personally don’t think it really matters. I don’t need to know that there’s a new console some day (because of course there is), I want to see the reveal trailer and the games. And that’s probably happening in the fall. I don’t care what they’re telling their investors before that.
One thing I gotta say as a lurker in Nintendo hardware rumor threads since the beginning of the project cafe days, I can’t think of much that is funnier than ninspider.
I'd expect a debugging setting to just be no vsync, not the weird range thing.Debugging setting? It doesn't quite fit, but there are lots of reasons to have no vsync in development, both for performance testing and bug testing. This isn't video game development, but for some applications we'd turn off vsync and then capture the output buffer in automated testing in order to do analysis after the fact.
is there any point to release NWO on NSO anyways? All three games are already on it
Until people expect there would be a NSO announcement (if there is any) and there we would get the confirmation or not that NWC gets added to it.1 hour until what?
I'm delusional so - assuming the 2025 software-related delay is real - I'm gonna say they're gonna do a teaser that shows off everything short of the games. It'll be short, so no discussion over the features and gimmicks and what have you, but we'll definitely see something that will make us go "What is going on?" until they talk about the system at length. Maybe we'll see a five second clip of a new Mario game.Are we thinking they're going to drop a trailer soon or just a confirmation that there is new hardware at some point
Confirmation/announcement next week, reveal trailer in June or September is what I'm sticking with.Are we thinking they're going to drop a trailer soon or just a confirmation that there is new hardware at some point
Worlds largest PS2
Rad Racer and Tetris(NES) are not on NSO.is there any point to release NWO on NSO anyways? All three games are already on it
For licensing reasons, I'd be pretty shocked if NWC comes to NSO while standalone Tetris remains MIA.Rad Racer and Tetris(NES) are not on NSO.
I had a look at WarioWare: Move It! and the older Bezel Engine does have a "No VSync" option.I'd expect a debugging setting to just be no vsync, not the weird range thing.
Yeah I know 1 GHz doesn't = 1 TFLOP in a general sense, because the number of cores * frequency of each core gives the actual theoretical floating point number.Edit: I want to clarify that I'm talking about GPUs in general, not specifically about Van Gogh.
GHz ≠ TFLOPs
GHz = the number of instructions the GPU can execute per second (i.e. the GPU frequency)
TFLOPs = the number of arithmetic operations (e.g. addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) involving numbers with decimal points (floating point numbers) the GPU can do per second
Considering Samsung mentioned planning on launching LPDDR6 in 2026 at the earliest, I think Nintendo's more likely to use LPDDR6 than LPDDR5X-10700 for a revision since JEDEC's going to more likely than not officially validate LPDDR6, which likely enables Nintendo to source the LPDDR6 modules and the LPDDR6 controller from more than one company. On the other hand, I think Samsung's more likely than not going to be the only provider of the LPDDR5X-10700 modules and the LPDDR5X-10700 controller.
And Samsung's press release mentions Samsung starting mass production of LPDDR5X-10700 modules in 2H 2024.
In the best case scenario, Nintendo thinks that VRR is an important enough feature is important enough to support in handheld mode and TV mode.
HDR was on the 2013 PS4, if it’s not on switch 2, I will be so incredibly disappointed after how good the Mario movie looks in HDR.The Switch 2 using VRR is something I would have never thought, but it’s a incredibly nice feature to have, same goes for HDR
They let the Switch 2 prototype dropMan what if tonight instead of an 8pm NSO tweet they fucking drop it
I know that will not happen for a dozen different reasons
I think Doom on Drake is a safe bet given MS's third party leanings20 min for glory or doom
get our popcorns ready
Besides, 90% of people who regularly play NES Tetris are either running it on 100% original hardware or using a PC emulator with a mod like TetrisGYM (or even using a modified cartridge with TetrisGYM on original hardware), neither of which an NSO port can provide. It'd be like if Nintendo made an enhanced Switch port of Melee. Would it be cool? Yes. Would it be the definitive version? Not for the vast majority of people still playing it.For licensing reasons, I'd be pretty shocked if NWC comes to NSO while standalone Tetris remains MIA.
or Nintendo set the Event Time Based on this references ^__^you think he found a picture of something from 34 years ago that has multiple references that line up exactly to events that have yet to happen?
Don’t wanna let my guard down but yeah I’m feeling that wayIf there’s nothing, that’s a good thing, right? Since it increases the potential of a Switch 2 reveal next week?
Honestly, as fun as this all is, I think a confirmation during the financial briefing is equally likely regardless of what we get or don't get tonight. But if we get nothing tonight, we'll at least know Pyoro wasn't hinting at some NSO stuff.If there’s nothing, that’s a good thing, right? Since it increases the potential of a Switch 2 reveal next week?
Are we genuinely expecting something today?If there’s nothing, that’s a good thing, right? Since it increases the potential of a Switch 2 reveal next week?
This is also true, I meant to mention this earlier that it's rarely a drop at 9pm flatAlso before you all die at :00, news often drop between :02 and :10 with latest N64 drop at :31
What now…1 min
And the veredit is.....
If Pyoro was hinting at a Switch Online announcement it was likely going to happen tonight.I don’t know why everyone thought something would happen tonight
I think it was related if the Pyoro tweet was NSO related, but by the seems of thing.I don’t know why everyone thought something would happen tonight
because if Pyoro was hinting at NSO the announcement probably would have been today. Now the chances of this being something meaty are higherI don’t know why everyone thought something would happen tonight
Probably we can discart switch online newsWhat now…
It's more "I hope something isn't happening tonight" lolI don’t know why everyone thought something would happen tonight
Just a small note, PS4 didn't have HDR at release in 2013, though it was added via a software update for all PS4 systems in 2016 that significantly updated the HDMI controller itself.HDR was on the 2013 PS4, if it’s not on switch 2, I will be so incredibly disappointed after how good the Mario movie looks in HDR.
This makes the range option look like a replacement for or enhancement to the no Vsync option, which checks out, since the ability to turn Vsync off is how you get value out of a variable/smoothed frame rate setting. Though it still doesn't really make sense to me to enhance this feature further and expose it for Switch 1, where you can't disable Vsync, and so it could only be used in testing on devkits or Windows.I had a look at WarioWare: Move It! and the older Bezel Engine does have a "No VSync" option.
So, in the older version:
- No VSync
- 15fps
- 20fps
- 30fps
- 60fps
In the newer version:
- "Fixed" 15fps
- "Fixed" 20fps
- "Fixed" 30fps <- what the devs selected for Endless Ocean Luminous
- "Fixed" 60fps
- "Variable" using range options (10~240fps by default)
*2016 was when the update happenedJust a small note, PS4 didn't have HDR at release in 2013, though it was added via a software update for all PS4 systems in 2014 that significantly updated the HDMI controller itself.
I agree that Switch 2 should absolutely have it in all modes, for just... So many reasons.
Xenoblade Chronicles 4 looking great
Whoops, misread something.*2016 was when the update happened
