Every Nintendo system since the beginning has a way to dump your own cartridges or discs. So instead of port begging and whining about Nintendo PC ports, take matters into your own hands and dump your own Nintendo games and play them on PC. You know it is some fanboy fantasy bs when you go talking about Nintendo porting 1st party games to PC. It aint never gonna happen.
It should have capable enough CPU to play scaled down next gen gamea at 30fps, especially when you consider it will have DLSS and will render those games at very low resolutions as input resolution.
God bless emulation, but it would be nice for nintendo to at some point release games on PC...not begging but dreaming.
I remember these exact rumors for Wii. And Wii U. And NX.Nintendoubters punching the air rn
Smh. You do realise that Switch was outdated tech in comparison to last gen consoles, right? The new Switch on other othe hand will have Ampere as its architecture, one that is more advanced than what is in next gen consoles. Consider the recent specs that leaked that have Switch having more Ram than Series S and also having DLSS that next gen consoles don't have and you're looking at most next gen games running on the system. The only games that could maybe struggle will likely be open world games like GTA and such. If games like Witcher 3 and Wolfenstein were ported to ancient tech like Switch, then it should be a breeze porting new games to a far more advanced Switch 2. This isn't science.
Like Mk1 on switch? its "running" on switch ; )
This is getting delusional now. Remember when NX was going to be more powerful than the PS4 Pro?
That's a stupid reply since I already said that I think Series S is trash. Take off your console fanboy goggles before you comment.
All great consoles overflowing with great games...what's the problem here?
Metroid doesn't move consoles though...and I doubt Nintendo will ever make the mistake of launching a console without a Mario or Zelda game ever again. Mario Odyssey sold more than the entire Metroid franchise combined. Seems way more likely that Metroid Prime 4 is the Switch's swan song with a Switch 2 update when that console launches. We'll probably see Odyssey 2 as a launch game.
Multiple publications claimed to have seen the demos from the console, the development kits have been at studios for a while now. Digital Foundry recently discussed this and pretty much say exactly the same (they expect many current gen games to be ported over). You still falling to understand that at the very least Switch 2 will be running on Ampere architecture because that's what Nvidia has as of last few years as their mobile SOC, that already gives Switch 2 massive boost. DLSS means you only need to render at 720p and below. This isn't difficult to understand for anyone who's been keeping up with latest news.
If five games in a library makes a console "great" then sure. Except for the Switch, none of those consoles are "great". Switch is excellent, yes, but that is a testament to the brilliance of the concept more than anything else.
Yes, and my point is that tin spite of this ease of porting and scalability, expectations should be kept in check. Expect it to get Switch level third party support, maybe slightly more (which is already very good), and then if third parties and Nintendo both manage to do better, be pleasantly surprised. Rather than expecting a primarily third party machine like with the Wii U and then getting mad that those fan fictions didnt come true.
games that are CPU limited hardly get a boost from DLSS. another things is anything thats not cartoony and cute almost always doesn't sell great on switch. digital foundy also says to be cautious and not too put to much weight into the what the publications are saying lol. they also reported the leak of it being on 8NM so its still way too early to tell what will happen. my guess is nintendo goes for 8nm and the hardware comes out the be the weakest possible scenario like the past 20 years since the GC.
DF also said they expect S to have big third party support.
I think its best to wait and see. it would nice if nintendo doesn't nickle and dime the console as usual. There are many unknowns for switch. I'm sure it will do great in japan, I do wonder if everyone will still rush to buy it's successor as it seems its just keeps selling and people might not even care for a more powerful switch.
A ton of recent cross gen games have been made with the current gen games as the lead platforms. I'm not sure there's a guarantee that the cutover will see a dramatic spike in hardware usage.
It will be a success , the difference in GAF, will be the tech in Switch 2024. Which won't be that high-end .. but more inline with Steam deck but with DLSS support.
First let's look at the specs. Then we'll decide if it holds back
Switch 2 will be holding back nothing, all engines today are scalable. And the fact you ain't seeing any tru-next-genTM is because you were lied to by MS and Sony, because their consoles actually didn't come out of the gate the most powerful eva.
You completely missed my point. My point is about GAF always crying about Series S holding back current gen and yet don't have the same views on the next Switch.
Will not be more powerful than Series S or at the very best will be somewhat comparable to it. That's my point, we aren't seeing the outcry regarding it holding back current gen lik we do with Series S. The reality is both consoles will hold back current gen if games are made for them, because games will always be designed around base hardware. I'm of course talking about ambitious games that push the tech and game design forward, there are of course plenty of games that scale down really well because their game design isn't anything complex.
The number of games released in physical form on Switch steadly climbed year after year:
Maxwell was not outdated in comparison to GCN. It also had much better power efficiency, while Ampere is not as efficient as RDNA 2 (on 8nm at least).
No. It's coming out next year, reveal probably around March when they will finish selling Mario Kart bundle to everyone for the fifth time.
Did you look at this thread? Literally most people shit on the specs without even knowing anything saying they won't buy poor ports.
Well cant bank on PS5 momentum slowing, in 30 years thats have never happened ever to PS mid gen or end of gen, not even during the PS3 gen did that happen. Historically they picked up even more momentum mid gen on.
The scalable thing is bullshit. One example is shadow of mordor. They had to gimp features for the PS3 version. Features possible on only next gen hardware are impossible on older tech. Which means if you want parity you'll need to compromise/gimp features and ambition, which is what the series S is doing.
Ah... you're talking about PS3 which had it's own tech. All chips today are pretty similar, which is also why Switch was able to get ports like Doom and Witcher. Series S issues lie in ram and speed, not features.
I'm talking about games you buy the console for.The number of games released in physical form on Switch steadly climbed year after year:
PS3 and xbox 360. The type of tech doesn't limit what features you can put. It's all about memory and access speeds. This is not scalable. Only graphics is scalable.
Switch 2 will set us free.
would not surprise me.
Xbox best selling machine is a Series S, not X
Except that most third party sales are coming from PC/PS5. series s sold way better the x series cause it was sold out.
That doesn't make your sentence any less silly.
I meant for their respective platforms. Series s selling better for Xbox than X, and switch selling almost better than anything else for Nintendo. Yes Sony is also killing it
And some of them should be, just like PS4 and PS5 its the nature of modern day game development and market
