Yes we can, that is the ugliest animation I have ever seen.
I would respond with "HAHAHAHA" only but that would be spam. I did laugh out loud though

Probably after the Covid lockdowns, which had two effects -Assuming Redacted launches in 2024, at what point did Nintendo decide that would be the year? Drake started development in 2019, far to early to know Switch would still be selling so well in 2023. I am skeptical that Nintendo decided on waiting till 2024 to release a successor back in 2019 when development began. So how far along did Nintendo go before deciding on a release window? If sales had started to taper off hard in 2021 could Nintendo have had Redacted ready for late 2022? There is an argument to be made that Nintendo did push back the release of their successor primarily for strategic reasons and Switch sales in 2021 would have bolstered confidence that Switch would thrive for a few more years and releasing a successor would cut the Switchs life short prematurely. So how many years in advance would Nintendo have had to decide 2024 was going to be the year? One? Two? Three? Im confident that it was decided way back in 2019 when development began.
I can only assume that Covid played a huge part in Redrakted NG's release, as well as software not being ready.Assuming Redacted launches in 2024, at what point did Nintendo decide that would be the year?

I tried the MelonDS homebrew which just does that and that was kind of meh, but just imoI... Can't say I agree in the slightest?
The Switch screen is huge. Having two would be unwieldy, and heavy, and delicate. The off-TV mode on Wii U for DS was perfectly comfortable, at times better than DS.
Do people forget that the Switch has more resolution top to bottom than both DS screens put together? You could stack them on the one screen and still have bigger, higher resolution viewports compared to DS and 3DS.
"It is written...only @NateDrake can save this thread!"
Edit: Before this starts to become OT, could we expect Nintendo to utilize UE in future 1st party titles given how they are using it in Pikmin 4?
What does this mean?Why did they word it like that? Iykyk
given how Pikmin 4 had Eighting as a major development component, using third party engines to facilitate better cooperation would prove very beneficialPikmin 4 was a expection using Unreal Engine 4, i doubt Nintendo will use Unreal Engine/Unity for any of it major first party games in the future
clickbait, I'd gather.Why did they word it like that? Iykyk
Not a new theory, but maybe there have been several versions of hardware using Drake in development simultaneously which I believe isn't new for Nintendo. Where in another world where the Switch didn't have the legs it does, Drake would have actually released along with TOTK being positioned as more of an iterative successor. The Switch selling the way it did made them go all in on another version of the hardware, that will be positioned as traditional next gen.Assuming Redacted launches in 2024, at what point did Nintendo decide that would be the year?

Wait to see the mock I did. A Next gen switch with 2 big audio output on top, plus mouse wheels.Yes we can, that is the ugliest animation I have ever seen.
jesus christ, it looks like it's gonna go "uwu" every time I press a buttonWait to see the mock I did. A Next gen switch with 2 big audio output on top, plus mouse wheels.

Iykyk means "If you know, you know". If you're asking about my question....... iykyk.....What does this mean?
All these fancy mockups when the Switch 2 will likely just look like this.
CoughAll these fancy mockups when the Switch 2 will likely just look like this.
It started in 2019. Finished in mid 2022 (according to LinkedIn profiles).If Drake is indeed what makes Switch 2 tick and it was made in 2019 and only now being released, will they potentially have added/tinkered with it to make it more up to date considering it would be a gap of 4-5 years?
Personally, I'm taking that for absolutely granted. Given the performance we saw in the leak last year, I'm expectantly 5nm with the performance pushed to the edge. Because that's what we saw. We saw that. PLUS DLSS. Which is very reassuring. Not a performance level that will be out of date for another generation and a half.If Drake is indeed what makes Switch 2 tick and it was made in 2019 and only now being released, will they potentially have added/tinkered with it to make it more up to date considering it would be a gap of 4-5 years?

Assign and Turbo activate "assign" and "turbo" mode.What is the Assign and Turbo button supposed to do?
Isn't easy to allow to put the joy-cons when switch is on vertical, no? That way is like have 2 screen. Perfect for emulation. If they use a foldable screen, it can become something like that old mock:I had a vision of a completely impractical/improbable/impossible solution to allow for emulation of DS/3DS games on Switch NG and had to sketch out a concept. The idea is basically that the kickstand flips 180° and locks into place on the back of the device. A button on the side of the kickstand releases a retractable white panel which will stick out above the top of the unit when released. A tiny projector on the top of the unit then projects a top screen image onto the retractable panel to allow for duel screen play:
Can anyone out-stupid this one?
Indeed, as such it seems like it's always been planned to be aligned with the engineering work of the Lovelace teams.It started in 2019. Finished in mid 2022 (according to LinkedIn profiles).

Many of us kept thinking 2023 was going to be the year, but 2024 is all but confirmed at this point. And Nintendo likely decided that in 2021-2022. So whether or not Drake was taped out when it did would’ve also been irrelevant for Nintendo since they could spend extra time for “polish” on hardware like they did for TOTK for software.
The huge surge in 2020 likely raised some eyebrows, a system in its fourth year on the market selling nearly 30 million units was absolutely crazy. So in a way, it was a perfect storm for Nintendo. Development of the new hardware was likely being delayed to some extent, but instead of that being worrisome, they are witnessing their current console smash sales records. On top of that, semiconductor pricing became very inflated in 2021 and 2022, so in real time Nintendo was watching its BOM cost for its new console going up and up. Nintendo was in position to be flexible in 2021, release of the successor was still far enough out that they didn't have contracts in place yet with manufacturing partners and sales of Switch plus inflated cost along with shortages in the semiconductor market gave Nintendo good reason to pump the brakes a bit.
I desperately wish they had HD Rumble. I would never take them off.I have these, they feel great. they are wayyy bulkier than I think nintendo would go though sadly
They could negotiate a great contract for memory quantities, plus storage, meaning fans may get that 256GB of storage, and that 12 or so GB of LPDDR5(X) ram to boot.
My guess is that once they decided to be Ampere based, and so similar to Orin, then 2022 was probably the earliest target date (Orin released late Q3 2022). If Drake is fabricated on TSMCs 4N node, then I suspect the target date may have shifted at the same time Nvidia re-committed to TSMC. I'm not sure when that deal was struck between Nvidia and TSMC, but I'm guessing that the pandemic impact may also have been taken into account around the same time further encouraging pushing the date back.Assuming Redacted launches in 2024, at what point did Nintendo decide that would be the year?

The Split Pads have back buttons, you map a button to them using the assign button (say, X button so you can sprint > jump comfortably in TotK).What is the Assign and Turbo button supposed to do?
the OLED was in the firmware as Aula. a new system wouldn't be in the firmware howeverI wasn't super into leaks and stuff when the OLED was coming out I only remember like a week or two beforehand some sellers had posted listings like on Amazon Spain of a new console without pictures. Was there any leaks of the the OLED screen or the rounded dock? I remember the switch Lite when it was called the mini and the backplate leaking I just don't remember if there were as many leaks for the OLED
Wrong. Yoshi's Crafted World also used Unreal Engine 4, and is also another 1st Party Nintendo title.Pikmin 4 was a expection using Unreal Engine 4, i doubt Nintendo will use Unreal Engine/Unity for any of it major first party games in the future
not really? the leads for Yoshi was from Good Feel, while Nintendo has some level design leaders. Yoshi was contracted out unlike Pikmin wasn't as far as I can tellWrong. Yoshi's Crafted World also used Unreal Engine 4, and is also another 1st Party Nintendo title.
Before you'll know it, I'm pretty sure you'll say that's an exception too because Good-Feel developed it instead of EPD, which in that case I'd say that's some goalpost moving going on here.
I welcome it as long as said visual identity doesn't hurt the successor's functionality, especially the Joy-Cons. I can see them being either more ergonomic or more cumbersome to hold. I would want some light changes, hell, they could just slap a big 2 on the dock and that would do the heavy lifting, imo.I kinda feel like Switch 2 WILL need a joycon and a dock design that do look suitably different from the current look, for the sake of making it easily visually distinct as a new console to the mass market. Like the screen will look about the same since there's only so many ways you can make a rectangle with a screen look different, so the burden of V I S U A L I D E N T I T Y kinda falls on the joycons.
Yeah, a lot of these fake Switch 2 designs seem to be forgetting that the joycon are supposed to be detachable and work independently as controllers. Many of these hypothetical designs wouldn't function that way, or else would be really clunky and awkward.
