I love this time of year! It’s like the start of every sports year where you get to believe your team will win it all!!
If Nintendo does put out a real 4k/60 capable handheld with a decent battery life I don’t see any way they don’t repeat and pass the success of the switch unless it’s 600.00
499.99 would be my guess. But they would be competing with a cheap and more powerful ps5 so I feel they need to somehow match the switch price or 50.00 more

What even mean 4k60 capable handheld? Will it output 4k60hz, even 4k120hz signal to your TV? Yes, are games going to work like that when even PS5, Series X struggle with this? No, of course, not, stop dreaming.

It better not be 4k in handheld mode. That'd be a massive waste.

3DS
Wii U

That guy couldn’t possibly time his rumours worse than he did
A few hours ago :
Kopite7kimi, pretty notorious leaker for every Nvidia chipsets, says T239 at Samsung 8nm fab
That’s a way more reliable leaker than some 4chan anon

The only thing here that makes it feasible in my mind is that Nvidia themselves pushed for this and it wasn’t something Nintendo had to have. Which makes more sense as nvidia wants certain new features out in the public space. The switch 2 is basically one of the biggest ad campaigns they could ask for.

So you believe this thing ran Matrix at 1440p while PS5 and XSX ran it at 1080p?
Edit: Actually it's 1440p on both home consoles. You believe that? And it's DLSS'd to 4k...

I don't think it's impossible but no concrete specs was given, only thing said about the Switch 2 is the APU was based on a cancelled architecture meant for smart cars.

lol@getting excited over new Nintendo hardware, as if it'll be anything remotely more than a small spec bump, Nintendo stopped being relevant (hardware/tech wise) years ago

Had a chat with a programmer yesterday and he brought up the Orin rumour bits, from his angle he questioned how much the system would cost when you add a screen + battery and how it would have to be underclocked to kingdom come so they can cool it in a handheld form factor. Because there's a heavy-duty heatsink on the thing.

The Peach castle demo is what sold it for me, I call it mostly legit. Seems very plausible, nothing particularly unrealistic or too good to be true. And it lines up right with when internal plans changed in 2019ish and they scrapped a planned Switch Pro.
This thing ain’t launching before fall 2024.

I would say 99% fake. There's no way Nintendo would pay TSMC prices.
I feel like Nintendo would have tried to have another 'tentpole' game ready if the launch was going to be closer to the end of next year.

The specs aren't totally impossible I suppose, but the details of the text are.

Summary of this week:
-Switch 2 is the first consumer grade quantum computer.
-Runs the matrix demo at 8k 600fps with path tracing
-DLSS then upgrades it to 16k 1200fps which will be supported by the 1200hz microled display with literally the brightness of the sun
-17 weeks of battery life on a 10 minutes charge
-$299

They will. We just don’t know what they’ll be yet. Likely one of them is the rumored DK game made by the 3D Mario team.
The BotW demo was just proof of concept to showcase targets and featureset.

I call total bs....if anything Nintendo know the opposite from their WIi U experience.
I can see Nintendo ensuring all PS4 level games can run on it. The massive crossgen lag means lots of current gen games can be easily ported.
That "portable last gen" strategy worked a treat for Switch.
With diminishing returns on graphical power upon us as evidenced by that crossgen lag, they should totally double down on that strategy and keep the Switch successor affordable and mass market.
But to spend that much time writing fan fiction just to get noticed?
P.S. Lunatic gamer sounds about right...

I was talking about Switch 1 games, or perhaps a crossgen one.

I so wanted this not to be true as Samsung 8nm was such a big disappointment with the Ampere GPUs when it comes to perf per watt. it's worse than TSMC 7nm that both XSX and PS5 launched back in 2020. I'm actually shook.That guy couldn’t possibly time his rumours worse than he did

Get a PC, play on the Yuzu or Ryujinx at whatever resolution you want.
Nintendo games are best when they're freed from Nintendo hardware. I don't care if Switch 2 comes with a bee jay attachment, Nintendo makes the greediest pricing decisions for games and services.

There is no way nintendo starting switch 2 at a loss. Either rumors are bullshit or it's gonna be really expensive. Nintendo must be confident that switch 2 will be a
success. So I guess they it's gonna be really expensive.

Let’s not forget that the console will be 399$ at most. You can check their pricing history if you want. Adjust at will.

Almost forgot... Ada's two biggest changes are the big increase in L2 cache and the OPA (used for Frame Gen in the gaming parts). Both are very expensive in terms of die space.
