The power will be in our hands. lets go nintendo!
Well, the switch 2 will not have to run that bulky Windows full of useless features for a gaming device to begin with. I'm sure you can gain a lot FPS if your OS is optimized to only use a small fraction of the RAM and CPU.A rog ally is cutting edge handheld tech and can barely run 720p 60fps at $800. And people expect a Nintendo device to destroy that at sub $400....
I'm still excited for a slightly buffed switch tho. Hopefully they do an OLED model quick
Yeah, people kinda forgot with these new handheld devices that there's still a difference between a console and a computer.Well, the switch 2 will not have to run that bulky Windows full of useless features for a gaming device to begin with.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Ultimate with all booster pass courses for 60...I mean 70 dollarsAll I care is backward compatible. But I can see Nintendo being like "lol no, buy the same games again pls - give us your money".
John reasoning was dumb. Df have been wrong plenty of times. I won't get excited till we get actual specs and see how ports run.Wow it gets juicier. It's no confirmation but it's a whole different level for a DF guy to tweet that we might push Series S performance compared to a random forum fanatic. As a big optimist for Switch 2 performance, I was never THAT optimistic.
If the leak/speculation combos are true and its another ARM Cortex config it bodes very well for BC.
If Nintendo delivers a BC portable Series S with an impressive 3D Mario on day one it's fucking over.
Nate the hate said he heard it'll be around 512GB.PS4 handheld and PS4 Pro docked with DLSS and Ray tracing that can run UE5 matrix tech demo is good enough for me. At least it can it can get some AAA 3rd party games thanks to Series S. Only problem now is storage. hmmmm.
As we get increasingly diminishing returns from both Moore's law and graphics processing itself, having hardware that's even 5-8 years behind will no longer seem like such a large cap. The pressure is gonna be more on Sony & MS to justify the higher price tags for marginal improvements in fidelity.having 'powerful' hardware is becoming more subjective/relative as tech advances, Switch 2 won't ever match an Xbox Series S,much less a PlayStation 5 or Series X,good news it doesn't need that to provide beautiful high quality visuals or be a succesful platform,as long as its a big jump over the Switch and solves the IQ issues that have been plaguing Nintendo over the years, without being either too expensive or cheap, they can design a solid portable console for people to enjoy
Or they keep the same princes and add more hardware to make the world seem real, because if fidelity has reached its peak then introduce something that could compliment the visuals we already have.As we get increasingly diminishing returns from both Moore's law and graphics processing itself, having hardware that's even 5-8 years behind will no longer seem like such a large cap.

I'd triple dip for a Super Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in 4K with all booster packs.Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Ultimate with all booster pass courses for 60...I mean 70 dollars

Ofc, take the info with a grain of salt.To summarise the interesting tidbits shared
- Botw demo ran at 4k 60fps - instant loading times compared to the 30 seconds loading times on Switch 1
- The DLSS being used was supposedly DLSS 3.5 but it may not have all the features the pc version does
- The Matrix demo looked the exact same as it does on next gen consoles with supposedly better ray tracing however keep it mind it most likely wasn't running on native hardware but on a pc/ dev kit with similar specs
- March 2024 was a date being discussed at gamescom but Nate is unsure if it is a reveal date or a release date
- Still no clarity on backwards compatibility

I know what leak their talking about and in said leak it claimed this was for the cancelled Switch pro. Though running at 660MHz in handheld mode at 4w is insane. That battery life would run a good 8 hours or more.Might be old, might be false so take it with a grain of salt.
