So, the biggest game right now must be DQH I-II. Curious if it fits in a 32GB cartridge or it's bigger.

DQH 1-2 are apparently up ports of the vita versions

 

[GasProblem]

Ohhh, was hoping the Switch would have themes. Nice to see that's a possibility. Wonder if it'll get something like Badge Arcade as well.

 

[KennyLinder]

On that note are you still hearing of games shipping with modes as DLC?

That was you right?

Yep, that's what we were told. All due to the incredibly expensive price of cartridges.

 

[random25]

I'm hoping for a Switch Corn Love Forever theme...

That just made me hungry. Damn you.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

It was really stupid how people got mad when several people pointed out that it would be too much of a coincidence for that picture to be a fake.

Well yeah, if you actually got mad, that's stupid. But I'm actually referring to AtomicShroom's habit of acting like he's been persecuted in every Switch thread he's posted in. Mainly by claiming everyone swore the Switch would be a portable PS4 and he was proven to be the hero none of us deserved by denying this reality (not true, as almost no one thought Switch would even come close to approaching PS4 specs....most assumed it would be a decent bit more powerful than a stock Wii U....which it is).

DQH1 didn't have a Vita version. I think it's PS3 for DQH1 and Vita for DQH2 weirdly enough.

 

[Lonely1]

So, this confirms that summer dev kits were Jetson boards.

 

[lherre]

DQH1 not exists on vita.

EDIT: Beaten

Incredibly expensive, eh.

Yeah, that sounds like bullshit.

 

[mario_O]

But the left column means the hardware supports it. The right column is what Nintendo limits the console to. Nintendo can update that via firmware presumably.

it doesn't mean that they will update anything. there's a reason why nintendo disabled all those functions.

Apparently they cut a lot of textures out for it to fit in a 16gb card. The game allegedly isn't ugly compared to PS4 because of system power, but because square is trying to fit both games in a 16gb card...

 

[jonno394]

DQH1 not exists on vita.

I stand corrected still, up ports rather than down ports though!

 

[RoadHazard]

It kind of makes sense to match the screen resolution but JPEG only is lame-o.

Why does it make sense for screenshots to match the handheld screen resolution when the console can do 1080p in TV mode? Nintendo does keep claiming it's primarily a home console...

 

[Inferno313]

It would be a great launch, but two are ports, Mario was probably in development for Wii U for a year or two then switched over, and I wouldn't even call Splatoon 2 a sequel. So I'd be really concerned if they had nothing in the pipeline for 2018 since we're really just getting Wii U leftovers initially.

How many times is someone going to ignorantly post this?

It's a sequel. It's absolutely not a port. There are major gameplay overhauls going on, including every single special weapon being replaced, there are going to be numerous new weapons and maps, there's going to be an entirely new campaign, etc.

Just ignore them, they aren't worth the thought.

 

[z0m3le]

Are these numbers accurate as per the Eurogamer leak? As in calculated FLOPS?

I don't care for people extrapolating with architecture differences or Nvidia VS AMD FLOPS. Raw numbers please.

157gflops undocked and 393gflops docked if eurogamer's clocks are final.

 

[Durock]

Anything here on achievements?

 

[Matt]

Help us out Matt. Does everything here sound pretty kosher?

I mean, as far as I could tell from my quick glance, this is real.

never mind what you would call it, I think I'll take the actual developer's word over yours

The new Splatoon title has finally been announced. Can you tell us again what the idea behind this game is?

It's a proper sequel to Splatoon, as you can see by the ”2" in the name.

keep spreading that bs like it's gospel tho

 

[Muninn]

All I want is some decent AA for Switch games. I really hope they can at least pull this off. Even just SMAA in everything is fine. Please do not just let all these games run without AA. It's infuriating.

 

[Lucifon]

Same. I emailed Dev support last month asking when Switch stuff would be added to the portal and got a generic, "Future announcements will be posted to the Portal" reply. It's sad that some inconsiderate leaker is providing information before the official release of said information, likely making it harder for indies to get access to any of it (if Nintendo takes notice of this leak and reacts).

If Nintendo would get out ahead of these leaks and actually provide more controlled information about the system leaks like these wouldn't even be necessary. They're massively due a Direct to provide more information but at this rate we're going to find out things through journalists first.

 

[killatopak]

32 gb max? Compressed audio, video and textures we meet again.

28gb ram speed? Pop in your face we meet again.

 

[shouamabane]

My wish list:

• HDMI 2.0
• HDR
• 24-bit audio

Are any of those possible?

 

[Robin64]

I see an RGB Range option! Finally. Wii U was stuck on Limited.

When your argument hinges on you just making shit up outright, maybe you can take a step back.

 

[Octavianus]

(-_-)

I want to believe that these people are being deliberately dense at this point... but this is Neogaf, on the internet, so I dunno.

I understand your pain.

 

[iswasdoes]

No one does this to themselves. Those who are exclusive PS4 or Xbox One owners on GAF want to obsessively compare Switch to their home console because that's what fanboys do. It's the comparison that GAF is interested in, not the specs of the Switch itself. That's the only way they can justify their console of choice / console they develop for, and also justify whatever angle it is they want the conversation to turn into, sometimes to Nintendo's detriment and sometimes to their benefit.

Im not sure. I get what yourse saying but I feel like there is still a sense of people kidding themselves. I was doing it to myself for a bit - I knew its was gonna be a tablet, but I drank the kool aid about some advanced custom Nvidia processor that could produce PS4 pro graphics while still being a viable portable in terms of size and power and price. I guess I wanted, like lots of Nintendo fans want, for them to return to the days where they had an equal footing with the other hardware manufactures

It took a while for me to let that fantasy go. But now we've seen the games its obvious that this is a tricked out tablet that you can connect to the TV, and that is awesome because its nothing like the PS4 I already own.

 

[NSESN]

Interesting enough the TV output options are for both modes.

 

[Nightbird]

Yeah listing all small sports games def gonna help your cause. If i may ask why you didnt ask their 2017 counterparts instead? FIFA 2017 is 45GB without any patches.

Man, thank god it's not getting Fifa 2017 then!

Spoiler

jk

 

[Hoo-doo]

157gflops undocked and 393gflops docked if eurogamer's clocks are final.

Okay. So a portable Wii-U.

Which by all accounts is going to be a pretty great thing, handheld-wise. From 3DS to this.
The home console part is the part that's lacking though.

 

[EloquentM]

Why does it make sense for screenshots to match the handheld screen resolution when the console can do 1080p in TV mode? Nintendo does keep claiming it's primarily a home console...

It doesn't make sense to me and I think it's pretty stupid.

 

[darkazcura]

There's nothing wrong with limited, though..

In fact I purposely set all of my systems to limited and TV to limited, heh.

 

[Oregano]

Yep, that's what we were told. All due to the incredibly expensive price of cartridges.

If you don't mind me asking how big of a game are we talking? Like 16GB or 32GB?

☺️

Where's my tag though?

You probably deserve one at this point.

Why does it make sense for screenshots to match the handheld screen resolution when the console can do 1080p in TV mode? Nintendo does keep claiming it's primarily a home console...

It keeps it consistent regardless of what mode you're operating in. 1080p when docked would sure be nice though.

 

[James Scott]

I see an RGB Range option! Finally. Wii U was stuck on Limited.

Was a weird oversight seeing as Nintendo's games relied on color and that decision limited that.
Hopefully helps Switch ports look nicer

 

[BitStyle]

Potential for different home menu themes:

Does this bode well for dark theme being accessible by normal users? Because I want that theme badly

 

[Inferno313]

Interesting enough the TV output options are for both modes.

Probably handy if you're not getting a TV signal at all. If it's not working, you can undock the Switch, make the necessary changes, and re-dock it.

JP PSN Store says PS3 version sizes are 18.3 GB and 15.2 GB.

If they have some duplicate textures in both games, they should be fit in a 32 GB card. Yep.

I don't disagree. It's frustrating. I have a game I've been developing with Mac/PC as the target platform, but would jump at the chance to bring it to Switch instead (it's still very early). I can't do that without documentation, an SDK and hardware.

Yeah, the ignore feature is a great thing. It's kind of cheap to simply use it on someone you disagree with (I would probably never put Hoo-doo on my list, for example), but there are numerous users on GAF with a clear agenda and aren't actually interested in genuine conversation.
