Not the same target group.
Switch successor has seemingly entered mass production already

I've read the reports too... but let's face it, the fact remains that no one has gotten their hands on a Switch 2 yet, so we don't officially know.

I will be honest, as someone that is not crazy for Nintendo IPs I see no use for this in a world where Steamdeck, ROG Ally or others exist. It's going to be most likely underpowered compared to them, if not it will be getting the same full-priced ports for 50€ you can buy on Steam for 10€. Hard pass.

Nintendo the playing card game company, yes. Nintendo the video game company, no. They didn't do anything remotely video game related until the early 1970s.

This is Nintendo we're talking about. They want to save as much money as possible, so it'll probably come with the same exact screen as the original Switch in 2017.

To note, the console is one thing and the chip is another. I do want to see the console, but the chip that grants it its performance is as understood as it gets.
I know that it was a joke

we know the chip but not the clock speeds.
so the docked performance of the GPU can be anything from 2 TFLOPS all the way up to around 3.9 TFLOPS
in handheld mode we will probably see 1.x TFLOPS to keep battery life in check. but thanks to DLSS, you can probably get away with rendering internally at 480p and then reconstruct to the display resolution.
I'm currently playing Gori: Cuddly Carnage on Steam Deck OLED, and thanks to XeSS I am able to render internally at around 480p, upsample that to the 1280x800 resolution of the screen, and play the game on high settings at 60fps. with raytracing at around 30 to 40fps, and it still looks really decent on that smaller screen.
and DLSS is better than the DP4a version of XeSS I'm using in that game

The docked performance will most likely be 4-4.4 TFLOPS, custom data showed they will be using a 60W charger this time around with the memory modules also being LPDDR5X 7500mt/s, meaning they're intentionally going for a fat bus (thus very high clocks). Handheld ranges from 1.7 to 2.2 with efficiency clocks peaking at the former, but they could easily pick the later. Not expecting anything other than 4N/5nm node for reasons already disclosed somewhere else.

while I hope you are right, I am still scared they'll do the same that they did with the Switch 1 all over again... like, that thing could have had such a good docked mode

The Switch 1 was admittedly kinda fucked by its node, 20nm was old at the time and simply wasn't a good one. V2, Lite and OLED Switches are all on 16 nm and the efficiency gains were immediately apparent. The chip was also grabbed from an existing device at the time which was the Nvidia Shield, T239 won't exist in any other device but the successor.
Just in case, all the above info is not mine. It was found on public shipping vietnamese data, where Nintendo manufactures consoles ever since the Switch.

This is such a bizarre take. Its like Concord players wondering why Overwatch exists.
One is the most popular(or soon to be)platform to have ever existed in videogaming, and the other is a pimple on the dreamcasts ass.
Thats why it exists.
As for power, how about we determine that when the thing actually launches?

as long as it has replaceable joycons, you can fix those issues yourself.
I got some comfortable cheap 3rd party joycons, with proper sticks, good ergonomics and good buttons, and I never looked back. (and no I'm not talking about the Hori split pad, that shit is dogshit)

Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.
I think the Switch 2 is gonna come in May. So if they follow the blueprint we should get a trailer around early December.
I believe this time they'll do a press release before showing it though..

Did this actually happen or is this just a joke going over my head?

I absolutely love geeking out about the design. Looking forward to seeing it and discussing every choice in detail.

Doubt you will be able to, look how long it took to emulate a PS4. This will be way faster and newer.

It's real, it has to be, Nintendo DMCAd everyone. We had a thread for all of 5 minutes, here's proof it was a thing
Would this leaked Switch 2 UI be near ideal?
I posted about this leak earlier, and while I'm not here to talk about the legitimacy of these images in wondering if this UI would be seen as ideal by Nintnedo fans. My only complaint would be the ads at tye bottom of the screen.... just, why? But other than that, I hope the menu for Switch 2...

Ah thank you. This is so interesting because based on the comments there I think I remember the thread here about it. I even commented how fake I thought it looked because it was almost exactly like the Xbox dashboard haha. Had some identical ads too.It's real, it has to be, Nintendo DMCAd everyone.

If that ends up being real that's truly crazy

If the rumors about magnetically attaching joycon are true, I wonder if it will be prohibitively difficult for third parties to produce functioning handheld joycon. I guess a full console case would be the cheapest solution.

Man, if it's accurate the next Switch will look very weird. Only 2 buttons on the right side and whatsup with the small screen smh.

This. I want it to be as small as a psp

at worst third parties could make Bluetooth controllers that clip onto the Switch similarly to how smartphone controllers work

posts news as their odd job
Hot take but portability and good ergonomics are often at odds with each other.
Playstation Portal probably has the best ergonomics precisely because it's not just trying to be a small rectangular device.

Nintendo are usually very good at keeping their secrets close to their hearts. Unlike, ehrm, Microsoft.

That icon is from a mockup someone in the thread posted that they felt was more likely to be like the final version. The actual supposed "leak" looked almost identical to the current Xbox dashboard with a few Switch icons added in, and that image has been removed.Man, if it's accurate the next Switch will look very weird. Only 2 buttons on the right side and whatsup with the small screen smh.

Good games with PS4 graphics finally!
