These small clips were a good idea
Yeah.. Except I now kinda get duplicate videos in my feed, both the main (big) videos and the small ones made out of the big ones.
@@djorgenI kinda like watching some of them twice. Also sometimes it's good when I want to listen to a particular discussion again
Lol literally EVERY relevant channel has done this for years. DF is ran by boomers lol I mean look at the reaction by rich and alex when John had some light hearted humor about southern accent. I'm from Alabama and thought it was very bad but quite funny lol
Really great one! I'm the target audience for these clips, since I'm usually interested din one or two topics of each episode.
14 min lol
Not complaining tho
4:16 Only Rich would remember the exact year the Tegra X1 came out but completely forget when the Switch did 😅
I can't get enough of these - I love that they're not actually necessarily "short" but they are just one topic
wish they were a bit shorter
I love the idea of these shorter news bytes, but if the DF team is listening I have a small suggestion:
Would it be possible to mention the date of whichever mainline video the clips were taken from (if relevant)?
For instance, I watched this clip for a few moments before realizing I had seen it before in a recent DFDirect. A quick flash of text before the clip starts, something along the lines of ‘Taken from DFDirect #120’ or ‘Previously recorded in “Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart PS5- The Digital Foundry Tech Review”’ etc. would be a godsend.
There is a link to the full video in the description
@@Aasif_Alam Still, it would be trivial to add a small text box with that info into the video itself.
@@JustinLesamizI think a lot of us run CZcams in the background hands-free, like watching regular TV, so a little screen info wouldn't break our pace
I believe that backwards compatible is a must for the Switch 2. Nintendo wouldn't want to ditch the huge switch install base.
I hope you guys continue to do these small clips so frequently and not just doing it to jumpstart the page. I love it and you guys are the best
Loving this new channel and for the record, love John's southern accent.
Agreeing with the comment I've read. I'm really liking the shorter videos. They suit. Y viewing habits better. Not to say I'd not watch one of your longer vids to. I've also been enjoying DF retro vids too. Great stuff 😊
Is crazy just how long we've all been expecting a Switch 2 now, am so excited for whatever Nintendo does.
2:34- Hats off to Rich for his top tier Bennett reference.
Looks like a portable 8th Gen Console. Not bad. Probably could do upscaled 4K like the One X and PS4 Pro, at least while docked.
Crazy Switch 2 gimmick. 3D screen but not only can you insert the switch into a tv dock but it also slots into a VR peripheral. Then the VR peripherals tracks hand movement through the headset and gyros in the joycons.
Of course I'll buy one if it doesn't have backwards compatibility, because I'm a sucker for Nintendo games... However, I'll be buying many less games than I did on this last round. I've re-bought Nintendo games over and over and over for the last few decades, to the point where if I had an accurate list, I'd probably have ten licenses for some of my favorite games. (assuming they carried over somehow) I'm getting increasingly less apt to re-buy once the remakes and remasters hit a certain level of quality and quality of life. I want to have a "complete library" of my favorite Nintendo games on one device, and the Switch seemed like the platform that would finally make that happen more or less. (short of the remakes of Twilight Princess and Wind Waker so far) If they dash that with Switch 2, I'll probably buy one, then only buy the few unique games in the series I like, and call it good. They will also basically be losing out on me spending any money on third party or indies, etc. as I'll just go back to Steam for that. Technical challenges or no, they should definitely figure it out, and make it available.
Isnt it insane how humans get a kick out of lying to each other? " Here's a fake switch.. haha!!! i feel important for once in my life!"
There's even a day set aside, every April 1st, in which people are expected to lie to each other. Fun fact: That's the one day of the year in which I stay completely off the Internet because I know most of what I'll read that day will be someone thinking it's funny to say something false to people.
@@G360LIVEwow you must be fun at parties
Nintendo differentiator is Nintendo first party titles and the portable versions of staple games. People bought into the system with Zelda, Mario Kart and Super Mario Oddyssey, but stayed for Hollow Knight, Celeste, Hades, Skyrim, Doom, etc.
Didn’t the Wii essentially include GameCube hardware for hardware backwards compatibility? Would it be crazy to include the Switch SOC in the Switch 2 for similar results?
Holy hell, Rich's Commando reference made me burst out laughing
The 3d sticks analog sliders has me interested
3:41 in the Nvidia hack, the NVN2 API said T239 has 1536 active cuda cores, so that is the correct number. There is also clocks located in the hack for a DLSS test with 660MHz, 1.125GHz and 1.38GHz clocks, the last one being a stress test, similar to the Switch's 921MHz GPU clock that is never used. This would give us 2TFLOPs portable and 3.456TFLOPs docked.
I really hope it does have DLSS. If it is Ampere based, that means DLSS 2. Obv no frame generation since it wouldn’t support DLSS 3, but DLSS 2 would give some nice headroom for games to look decent and perform well. If it’s supported in handheld mode, we could even get pretty good battery life and performance if games target a 480p or less internal resolution on a 720p display.
At the very least, it would be nice to have games using DLSS 2 instead of old versions of FSR.
@@Dan-uh9sg They'd be fools if it didn't have DLSS. It's such a no-brainer.
@@Dan-uh9sg The Switch 2's specs are almost entirely leaked, we even know that a 7.91inch LCD screen is being used in the devkits. Has 8 (almost certainly A78C) arm cores, GA10F is the GPU (1536 cuda cores, 48 tensor cores and 12 Ray Tracing cores, at least 12GB RAM @ 102GB/s or faster, it's going to be a PS4 + DLSS and a modern CPU with more RAM than the Series S, and when docked it should perform very close to the Series S, it also shouldn't fall behind in Ray Tracing vs the PS5/XBSX. Storage is at least 256GB but there are solid rumors for 512GB... So yeah, the thing is very capable, a lot more so than the Switch was compared to the XB1/PS4.
@@syferzthats a lot more than a 28nm ps4
That's ps5 at 720p plus ai scaling = 1080p docked that's series s plus AI SCALING
“If Matrix was here, he’d be laughing too” was that a Commando reference? 1985 Arnie film.
Rumors are a bunch of rumors until the reveal day.😂
Commando great film! loved the quote rich 😅☺️
A Commando reference, bravo!
Personally would love switch 2 to have 3D capabilities like 3DS. Possibly dual screen again.
I still remember the PS2 fakes lol
It would be good to timestamp the clips either in the title or at the start of the video. I know the original video is linked but it's a lot of work just to understand when this comment is from
9:54 I'm sorry, but if Valve can get Windows titles using unsupported, proprietary APIs to run on SteamOS/GNU+Linux - a completely different OS - via Proton, & Apple can get macOS software written for 'x86' AMD64-based/IBM-compatible Intel Macs to run on ARM-based Apple Silicone - a completely different CPU microarchitecture - via Rosetta 2, then Nintendo & Nvidia have no excuse not to be able to figure out backwards compatibility. Unlike w/ those examples, the next-gen Nintendo Switch will be using the same OS, APIs, & CPU microarchitecture as the current-gen Nintendo Switch.
I wonder if they're putting in a camera, seems useless for TV mode unless they're putting it on the controllers
10:00 John, your Southern accient was _NOT_ annoying at all. It was quite amusing, actually :)
If the Switch2 is about the same power as the PS4 Pro with backwards compatibility, it be perfect.
100% it won't have back compat.
The weird controller gimmick was based on an old trademark Nintendo made
I think backwards compatibility is really essential for Super Switch. That backwards compatibility also makes the transition between platforms so much easier for developers who are only *now* building Switch games. I do acknowledge the difficulty, but there are just too many upsides. Not to mention that I think players will expect the existing Nintendo Switch Online library to automatically carry over to the Super Switch.
Ring fit adventure on Nintendo switch can measure your heart rate :) not the best but they can refine it
And I think they will add a camera bc the purrah pad has one 😄
I feel people will be pleasantly surprised how much of a upgrade switch 2 will be. Nintendo has quite the task of following one of, if not the greatest consoles ever?
@@garrusvakarian8709It brings near-home console graphics to a handheld for the first time in a Nintendo console, that's got to count for something. If you ask me all they have to do is give it enough power to make the games run at 1080p 60... instead of 720p 30fps like what the Switch does now.
@@garrusvakarian8709 I’m sorry, I thought I said console. Did I say home? I do like your spirit though.
@@garrusvakarian8709
Be real. The Switch is a hybrid home/portable console, and it's pretty much the last phase of the years Nintendo spent restructuring its development strategy. Rather than split their developers between two consoles, one home and one portable, they decided it was more efficient and cost-effective to have all their developers working on one console, which is the Switch. It can be a home console. It can be a portable console. That's why Nintendo named it "Switch". So, for you to say that it's not also a home console is basically you telling Nintendo that they named it wrong.
I'd argue the switch being portable allows it to compete for time even less. Not only can you take the thing with you everywhere conveniently but you can use it while others use the tv. Most people don't have a dedicated home setup so I'd argue that nintendo aren't competing heavily even in the time aspect.
Gosh remembering the nx leak era takes me back 😂
The most likely scenario is that digital libraries will be compatible with the Switch's successor, but not the physical Switch software.
Ugh, that would suck but it is possible. The 3DS could play DS games, don’t think they’ll abandon support for old cartridges if they can manage it.
i hope they use a analog stick like they had in the 3ds stll dont drift
It will fail if it isn't backwards compatible
Good video anyway, but thumbs up for the John Matrix comment. :D
I don't know how no one mentioned this : VR!!!
The Switch will switch to VR as the 4th Way to play it.
Docked, Handheld, Tabletop and VR. And modern VR has been a thing for more than 10 years know, which is enough of maturity for Nintendo to adopt it.
Not to mention their little Labo experiment.
The real question is, will it be a seperate accessory or will it come packaged?
If they can somehow have it packaged in the box for 300 to 400 USD, then DAMN. That will give Oculus some SERIOUS competition. (Yeah I know it's Meta now)
The only way I can see it be packaged in, is if the DOCK itself was the headset. Not impossible, but the ergonomics of face, and stability of dock will be tough to manage.
Maybe a small sitting dock the way Oculus has for charging the Quest Pro combined with the VR dock and finally the Switch and it;s 6DoF Joycons ( which already had an IR camera if you guys don't remember).
Toodles.
The only way if this doesn't happen is because Nintendo does things Nintendo does.
With Switch, my prediction when we heard rumors of NX was that they will use the SAME ARM chipset on both the handheld and the home console, but clocked DIFFERENTLY.
This way they won't have to code it twice, just increase and decrease the res(GPU load) and draw distance (CPU+RAM load)
Not that far off, really.
But would have NEVER EVER guessed the Joycons. That's how they packed TWO consoles into one. And made the ONLY portable local multiplayer device (Steamdeck with 1 or 2 Xbox controllers don't count, too bulky, I don't even carry my ProCon when travelling with the Switch and a mini third party dock).
I think Nintendo learned from wiiu not to make it too similar so people know it’s an entire new console
Nintendo cannot afford to target a ‘Goldilocks’ Switch2 device when thinking about a price/performance ratio.
I actually laughed out loud when the render appeared, it's a neat mock up but come on guys, have we learned nothing since the days of the Xbox 720 and the Wii Phone?
These Switch 2 fakes that are starting to come out remind me of the days when the Wii was on the horizon. There was one fake that was claiming the "Revolution", as it was known at the time, was a VR headset that would change gaming forever.
...and then we got some waggle remotes. Mmmm so revolutionary, so exciting. The lesson there was that reality tends to be much more subtle than our wild imaginations, and the Switch U will probably not be some crazy insane new thing. We'll get one or two small gimmicks, better graphics, and that's about it.
I think I would like the new console to somehow optionally allow usage of the touchscreen while docked to sort of mirror the DS and WiiU functionality to move UI, maps or other elements to the second screen for those people who actually enjoyed the idea. This could also potentially allow for some amount of DS/3DS backwards compatibility
How would that physically work? Unless there was wireless connectivity to the dock.
@@JustinLesamizhow about there is an accessories slide rail on top of the system, the switch main unit is docked while the accessories is held separately when in TV mode, the user take the switch out of the dock and slide the accessories back into the main unit. They can have so much possibilities for accessories, second screen(with joy-con slot for easier use docked), 3D screen, camera and microphone accessory, VR band, vitality sensor etc
Why is Liddleman so high and weird here?
If the Switch 2 uses Orin 32 40W as base(which is the T234 with 2 SM disabled), that means the GPU will only be as strong as the Xbox One and the Steam Deck(PS4 in docked mode), even going from Samsung's 8nm to TSMC's N4, the 15W TDP won't let it reach much higher.
3:08
The full Orin 64 at 60W(seen on the screenshot/T234) is almost as strong as the PS4 Pro, they would need to use TSCM's N3 to get close to that same performance at 25W, but since there are already Dev Kits being shipped, it means they're using N4 or 5nm, which would make it a 32W/35W SoC, which is way too hard to cool in a Switch form factor, even in docked mode.
The chip also only has a 128bit-bus, which means 8GB or 16GB of LPDDR5, and we all know Nintendo won't give it 16GB of RAM.
I don't know how different the T239 is to the T234, so i can't make that many assumptions, but i'm now sure that the Switch 2 won't be even close to a next gen console, even with the strong CPU and access to DLSS2.
Current Gen games would have to run at 360p Low settings to match the Series S at 720p High settings and the PS5/XSX at 1440p Ultra
(Docked) Switch 2 x3 -> Series S x3 -> Series X/PS5
Low settings on modern games still absolutely blow any Switch game out of the water. Even if that's all we end up with, I'll be satisfied as long as Nintendo doesn't try to pull yet another excruciating 7-year lifespan.
I'd say it's safe to assume that the Switch 2 will be what the 3DS was to the DS - a far healthier, moderate success. Nintendo do best when they don't have infinite free money to fall back on.
@@alfo2804 7 and a half years for the Switch, when the Switch 2 launches, Ampere will be a 4 year old architecture.
Nintendo will 100% stick to the 7 year Gen window.
@@MaxIronsThird Oh, I'm sure Nintendo would love to. Given the choice, they'd probably never make another console and just keep selling the Switch until the end of time. I'm saying that the next console won't have enough momentum to last as long as the Switch.
@@alfo2804 that's true
That was huge power consumption compared with Qualcomm,Mediatek or even Exynos that consume 10 watt or less .
And yet GPU weaker than Midrange 1.8 Gflops Snapdragon 7+ gen 2 , ARM Cortex X2 inside also 150% faster than ARM Cortex A78 .
Why not asking Samsung to make them custom chipset with high performance 8 ARM Cortex X4 and low performance 2 ARM Cortex A520 for Os and running causal game with 4.5 Tflops RDNA 2/3 GPU so game will be more easier port from Xbox or ps5 .
Love your content but don’t get a lot of time to watch, when you said clips I don’t think you’ve quite grasped the concept of a clip 🤣 still 10+ mins long! I was thinking TikTok clips lol still gives me a better option to watch though, awesome work guys
I don’t understand the necessity of BC. No one forces you to throw away your switch. It’s portable, you don’t even need to keep it plugged to your TV.
I actually really like the southern accent. It’s NOT annoying
"I don't think anybody can compete with Nintendo at this point" i like that! Well said boss 👍
Nobody can ever compete with the emperor's new clothes, as long as enough people believe in them.
If you know Nintendo's history, you know that's not true. Nintendo can have a hit one generation, then try something that falls flat the next generation. For example, people thought Nintendo was unstoppable with the Wii, then Nintendo followed up that success with the Wii U. Nintendo likes to try new things, and you just never know how it'll go. Now, does that mean that I think Nintendo is stupid enough to move away from the Switch design? Absolutely not. I think they'll stick with it for the time being. The real question is what they're planning in terms of evolving that design and whether those changes will go over well with their audience.
@G360LIVE not sure what your comment has to do with that quote he said or even this video for the matter but,even thru Nintendo's failure they had success. We all know that not all experiments are successful, but how do you know something will work if they don't try something new? Nintendo doesn't like to do the same thing. They bring new ideas and fresh experiences all the time to ensure people have fun. Something that the competition doesn't do. I feel as if nintendo doesn't get the respect for paving the way for others by them being experimental. Instead the get criticized for it, which is pretty obtuse of many people. If it wasn't for nintendo, a lot of your favorite systems that you think is better wouldn't be here it is want for nintendo🤣. So before anyone tells their crap, do some Google research on nintendo. Everybody takes a giant slice of cake from a many of nintendo's invention, wether successful or failed.
As for backwards compatibility, I think they could end up not doing it which could mean they could do had ports and sell them all over again, sounds exactly like Nintendo.
That statement is false, Nintendo are well known for backwards compatibility.
Game boy Advance can run Game boy games with adapter
DS can run gameboy and Game boy Advance games
3DS can run DS games
Gamecube can run Gameboy and Gameboy advance games with adapter
Wii can run Gamecube games
Wii U can run Wii games
The only non-backwards compatible systems are the
Switch (no room to fit discs, and dual screens for DS/3DS, technically first hybrid system)
N64
SNES
NES (first home system)
Game boy (first handheld system)
Game and watch (no cartridges)
Micro vs (no cartridges)
Virtual boy (first VR system)
Excluding first systems and systems without cartridges, only the N64 and SNES have no backwards compatibility, but they both required another slot and ran on completely different hardware than their previous systems. Playstation and Xbox for the last few generations ran on the same type of hardware x86 and they just iterate, so backwards compatibility is much easier, even the PS Vita doesn't run x86 hardware. Only recently the Steam Deck was made with x86 hardware and that was almost 5 years after the Switch.
I have an idea, let's call it the Switch U
Yeah, good idea
I saw someone run with the title"Nintendo officially announced the Switch Pro" the source was"Trust me bro. That pissed me off. It was an article with no way to comment and call this guys b.s. That pissed me off.
Great channel for when i need something for the loo
Switch 2.0? Steam controller 2.0? Seems like I'm being patient in the wrong damn timeline.
backwards-compatibility is a must.., Switch 2 needs every advantage it can get, coming out when GTA6 & PS5 Pro come out... (with Project Q.., play your playstation 5 library anywhere with wi-fi out too by then)
...
losing your whole Switch library, .., some might hesitate (Parents too), and/or just angry...
...
and with so many other handheldd out, which are "backwards-compatabile".
...
Switch 2 could flop (if not enough must have come out soon-ish)...
Why would anyone lose their switch library? When I purchased my switch Nintendo didn't break down my door and confiscate my Wii U. I still have it and its library.
It's actually a myth that people get mad when a console isn't backward compatible. People have said that for decades, and it's never been the case. The reason consoles fail doesn't include "lack of backward compatibility". It's really not the selling point that people hype it up to be. Is it inconvenient? Yeah, but just keep your old console, and you have nothing to worry about.
Also, no one who is interested in GTA6 is thinking about backward compatibility on the Switch 2. Those are two completely different markets. If you're interested in GTA6, then you're going to buy GTA6. If you're interested in Switch 2, then you're going to buy a Switch 2. Interest in one will not affect whether you'll buy the other.
Really wished Nintendo went with an updated 2023 or early 2024 chip design. Once again we’ll be stuck with older tech for the next 7 to 8 years. Better than nothing I guess
cough cough
wii motion plus controllers
I'm all for the Super Switch being based on bridging games and reality with AR.
Nintendo's chart for their next console show 20XX and not 202X. Do we really believe it could be 203X?
Probably on Ali Express as we speak 😂
No backwards compatibility= No purchase
You're the minority, unfortunately.
@@JustinLesamiz Says you!
The problem with switch 2 is backward compatibility
Knowing how gready Nintendo is
Backward compatibility is nearly required at this point. Nintendo can either include an X1 chip in the new system, or have it integrated on the new device's SOC/APU. If it's a dock able handheld gaming device that NOT compatible, I think Nintendo will have a MUCH harder time with this generation... like a Wii U harder time. I think DLSS will be a HUGE selling point if it's back compat.... upscale all your old Switch games to 4K 60... and also play these next generation games too! That's the winning approach.
Nintendo NEVER listens to the industry, nor do they listen to western feedback, so it's really just whatever they feel like doing. It may be something completely different.
Nintendo has always had backward compatibility in their consoles. Also I don't think they need to have any extra chip on their console, I mean the XSX/PS5 have backward compability just with their Zen 2 processors lol
@@hugopereira5640 SNES was not compatible with NES. N64 not compatible with SNES. Game Cube incompatible with N64. Switch not compatible with Wii or Wii U. I could go into handheld consoles, but I think you get my point. Nintendo has NOT ALWAYS had backward compatibility. And maybe the SOC/APU will be powerful enough to emulate the Switch in software… but I seriously doubt that…. Maybe though. I think the hardware solution is the way to go.
@@CharlesHepburn2 Man how tf was the Switch going to be backwards compatible with the Wii U, are you kidding me 😂😂😂 honestly since this console is likely to be just a Switch with improved internals it would be ridiculous for them not to give it backwards compatibility. With the Wii U barely anyone ever bought it, and it was obviously going to be impossible to put a DVD reader on the Nintendo Switch lol
@@CharlesHepburn2 And the same thing for the N64 and the Gamecube...one of them is using cartridges and the other one is using Mini-CD's. Very much understandable why they wouldn't give it backwards compability. However Nimtendo has proven that they will give their consoles given the chance.
The Steam Deck, I don't think, is a competitor to the Nintendo system, whatever they call it. Not because to tech savvy people it isn't an obvious comparison, but just because the Switch 2 or whatever it is will get mainstream attention with advertising and it runs Nintendo games. PC, despite logically having way more options, is just more niche in the grand scheme of things and Steam Deck has found a nice middle ground but its still not mainstream to the extent that a "real" console is. Its sales are impressive for a first gen concept but its not pulling Nintendo numbers and Nintendo isn't even going to consider it in its strategy, for good and bad.
Not saying this is a good or a bad thing, just how it kind of tends to go with Nintendo.
These fake leaks always make the new console WAY too slick. Nintendo tries to keep hardware costs down and have them built tougher for kids. It's not going to be glossy, it's not going to have bezels that reach the edge, etc etc.
Kind of a funny coincidence the fake render predicted a bigger switch if what natethehate said is accurate with the 8” display
Nate the Clueless.... said switch 2 was arriving a year ago 😅
Clueless gon't even know when the switch came out. wow!
Are you going to Switch To A Switch 2?
I think TOTK should have been a launch title for the Switch 2, since it's such a hyped game, and that would have allowed them to really upgrade the graphics compared with its predecessor, which does look a bit dated 6 years after its release.
Breath of the Wild looked dated before we ever got our hands on it. It effectively looks like an Xbox 360 game. Maybe SLIGHTLY better.
Metroid Prime 4 will be the big Switch 2 launch title. That's why Nintendo isn't talking about it now even though development was restarted more than 4 1/2 years ago. And really, they can release an upgraded version of TOTK on the Switch 2. There's always that option.
Okay so my comment may have been phantom deleted? But it still shows up on the comment count...
And?
It's a conspiracy! 😳
Love small clip videos. As for Nintendo backwords compa, if it’s on simulator hardware. As in ARM cpu and Nvidia gpu. Then YES Nintendo can totally do backwards compatible. I want be able play tears of of the kingdom at 1080/ 60 fps either mobile or on my tv.
However if Nintendo is stupid and goes to say AMD Soc (x86) then backwards compatible would have more issues but we know it can be done. Cus steam deck has been doing this, but would Nintendo make the software for emu of older switch games on next gen hardware? Prob not. Consider there still a lot older Zelda games we still can’t play on the switch. Where Link to past, where Zelda twilight princesses or N64 Zelda ocarina of time?
Imo I still wish Nintendo would go back hardware in box. But make so we can plug switch into hardware in box. So we can switch for mobile. But still have full 1080/60 at home on big screen! Both system still running arm cpu/Nvidia gpu. Just box one be more powerful. When you want go mobile. You pull switch out and play mobile on just less powerful hardware. Nintendo could do this. They have $$$ too pull this off. But will they?
Hear me out here, this is something I've been wanting since the Switch Lite.
What if this new system can use entire Switches as extra gamepads, with a mirrored image in the Switch's screen?
This is something I have wanted since the Switch Lite came out, as I have one and desperately wanted to play Smash and Mario Kart with my friends on the TV, but couldn't since I didn't have an extra controller.
If this were the case, Nintendo could feasibly bring back some sort of integration similar to what the Wii U did. It would be super gimmicky, but it could be cool.
IMO the USP of Switch 2 will be a reverse-Wii U mode. The games runs on the device but it beams the second screen to the dock. If this is it, it probably won’t be used very much because games will be to playable in portable-only and TV-only modes. But it seems to me a way to differentiate it from Switch 1 and the Steam Decks of the worlds.
Use your phone as a second screen in portable mode... Or have a picture-in-picture thing where you tap the screen to bring the second screen up, potentially pausing the game, etc.
I want an screen that changes its texture when you touch it.
Why...
They could actually simulate that with tech similar to the Novint Falcon, which sadly never caught on. The tech, I mean. The actual device wasn't weird as hell.
@@JustinLesamiz Because I feel that they never really used The HD Rumble. Like the Ps5 controllers did. So maybe if they put it on the screen they may use it more.

AI generated switch leak 🤣
I would disagree and say that the steam deck is most definitely competition with the switch.
It's price is extremely accessible and while the software is hit or miss in terms of stability and reliability, it's still a very good system
Switch sales: 130 million. Steam Deck : roughly 3 million.
Comment for the Algorithm
If it’s not backwards compatible I will not mess with Nintendo anymore. Consoles now should all be backwards compatible with games. You buying a new console and have to rebuy the same game is crazy and greedy from the company. The new console resolution has to be at 4k on the tv and maybe on the handheld at 1080p. Anything below that is crazy.
Lol good luck with that
I mean maybe it’ll support 4K for very simple 2d games but I highly doubt they’re gonna be shipping out their new 3D flagship games in 4K.
@@cakestealer5983 Why.... 4K has been the standard for TWO console generations now. They'd be behind the times by years and years. Of course it'll support 4K in docked mode. They'd be morons to do anything otherwise. It's just going to be DLSS 4K, not TRUE 4K.
4K basically means nothing for 2D games.
@@JustinLesamiz Nintendo doesn't make a console. They have a handheld that docks to the TV. If you want an idea of what to expect, it's going to be the power of a steam deck but a bit better on battery life. The "top of the line" Chinese handhelds using the newest technology are decently faster than the steam deck but they're also like $1000+. Nintendo needs to get the handheld out for like $3-400
If they don't call the next switch a Super Nintendo Switch then they failed.
*I think "Nintendo Switch Plus" is by far a more fitting name,* cuz it's still your current Nintendo switch but it has way more than before(which is why the word plus comes after the word Switch)! 😂
That's a fucking terrible name...
Regardless of backward compatibility or not, I’m not interested in another anaemic Nintendo console. I’ll pass
It's funny that when invited to think about outrageous concepts Nintendo would use for their next system they could only think of stuff they already tried in the past. We're entering the Nintendo did it first era.
200th
Nintendo have been saying for a few years now that they want to copy Apples approach to iOS with hardware, where you can buy an iPhone or iPad, and when you upgrade to a new model everything just transitions seamlessly.
If they've managed to fail at that with the Switch 2, and the Switch resets everyone's library to Zero, then they'll lose an enormous amount of goodwill and potential sales.
When has Nintendo EVER said anything like that?!?

First hehe
Attention seeking kids award hehe....
@@mikeuk666 the switch is aimed at kids is it not?
If the steam deck can emulate even switch games … why wouldn’t a switch 2 be able to do the same with switch games , especially indie games, but perhaps even better given Nintendo makes both.
However , I think it might with switch 2 have limited backwards compatibility and ask developers to patch/update for the new specs.
"Can" is the word if you will think about it, with how much more powerful Steamdeck is, emulating switch games should be easy but nope some games still need tweaking and even some games run poorly...
It also depends on what kind of a device switch 2 will be so there's that...
The PS5 should also be able to emulate PS1,2 and 3 games but if Sony does not think its profitable they wont make that stuff happen.
The Steam Deck is much, much more impressive hardware than the Switch, and probably the Switch successor. It's an expensive piece of hardware.
@@nikitos3558 Sony is......dumb.
@@JustinLesamiz I would hope switch2 at least is in the ballpark of the steam deck. I do agree it’s a very impressive machine , a friend of mine has it.
Regarding backwards compatibility: I could see Nintendo keepting the same Maxwell GPU architecture and only increasing the clocks and the number of cores. It would be disappointing but there are precedents: They used on the Wii U the same outdated PowerPC CPU architecture of the GameCube to keep backwards compatibility
I don’t think Nvidia would be producing anymore of the maxwell chips and I’m sure the newer Nvidia ampere based SOC would be more economical
Everyone else seems to want a switch but bigger and better. Me, I just want a return to a true handheld. A GBA type console would be perfect (for me), but there’s no way they’re gonna do that.
They would be incredibly foolish to do that.
@@Manue_12 No I don’t mean in relation to the dock, that’s fine. I just mean I’d prefer something with a super small form factor like a GBA but preferably thinner. Maybe like the PSP Go but without the whole slide out controls thing because hinges and slides always introduce a weak point for devices. Basically something you could fit in your pocket.
@@cakestealer5983 Then it would have even lower Specs. It would break sooner and would not be as good on TV. Cooling it would be impossible. Its just not possible. Implementing 4x2 GB VRAM onto it + the APU would be interesting to say at least. And then it still doesnt have AKKU implemented either. Its a nice Idea but not possible that Way i fear like. Maybe a Switch Pocket could be released… Like same Specs as the Switch but Way Smaller. That i can see happening. But i dunno how big the actual Market for that would be.
I don't think Nintendo has the killer apps to launch a Switch 2 in the near future. Zelda just came out, Pikmin 4 just came out, new Mario coming out in a few months...unless they have some monster titles unnanounced I don't see any reason anyone would buy a new console
New 3D Mario, Metroid Prime 4 as launch title can nuke the internet... At this point Switch should be irrelevant but it's still one of the best selling console so I highly disagree that people will be disinterested with a new more powerful Nintendo Device...
If they gave us much higher fidelity versions of Switch games, especially TOTK, people would go nuts. Not just 4K/60, but also high quality textures and post processing would be amazing.
The fact is that without watching the video. You are just talking a lot of rubbish. How can you say facts vs fiction when Nintendo have not even said about producing a device or anything else. So there is no such thing as fact or fiction as everything at the moment is just speculation.
Maybe actually watch the video before saying something stupid.
It may sound weird but I don’t worry about backwards compatibility, not as much as I do not having an OLED screen variant at launch. Unlike a cumbersome set-top-box in the past where it would take up space and would require disk or cartridge switching, instead you have a 512gb or 1TB SD card in a Switch. It’s unlikely you’d buy a lot of games for it again. You take out the Switch, it turns on, has a screen, select from dozens of games on the fly and you can use it anywhere. You get a lot of mileage out of it. I don’t feel slighted needing a new machine to play new games that are optimized for a new portable, but then again they did _compel_ us to buy several OLED models in recent history. Which is why downgrading to their poor standards when it comes to their LCD screens is _extremely_ problematic, for me.
Nintendo has _compelled_ us to get these other models for a couple years now, only to tell us to _start over_ and exclaim that, _it’s the cost_ and we must bare with them! This is why you hire women on staff for top brass, to avoid the decisions that knee-cap Nintendo every other generation. Backwards compatibility may not be an issue for a portable machine that can completely lack entirely optional _cartridge switching_ in most cases, that is also still pretty fresh in your closet, but not having OLED after so many whole console purchases would be a slap in the face. Someone at IGN said to make sure that this new Nintendo handheld has an “OLED option” at launch. As I say this, I can feel that Nintendo imagines they know what’s best for us, when their oldest leader, in his old age _chased away_ their closest allies, who would make games for them, _reluctantly_ to this era.
They put guardians into Breath of the Wild! 10 out of 10!
Nintendo does not know what they’re doing.
It’s as if hubris causes them to be born yesterday, over an over. I sat out on a Switch _because_ it was ugly as sin, especially in comparison to my Apple devices. I didn’t consider any version of a Switch _until_ the OLED model dropped. Nintendo would have made their goal of surpassing the PS2 in terms of sales if they were not _so easily_ blind sided by the Steam Deck. Who is to say that Valve wouldn’t capitalize on Nintendo’s typical abuses and arrogance and release a Steam Deck OLED model? Nintendo suffers from navel gazing and tunnel vision.
_Don’t you dare, compel me to buy multiple OLED’s_ (which I honestly haven’t done) and then tell me to suffer another cheap and ugly LCD screen _for the sake of your hubris and incompetence!_ Again. I kiss no ring. Nintendo and all it’s business psychosis can kiss my a$$, if they make us suffer several _expensive_ OLED purchases, in a row, and then follow up with an cheap looking LCD model for their follow up machine. I know they thought guardians were funny, I know they think having us start over is _also funny._ I think I’d buy a Steamdeck…. Finally. My favorite games on the Switch were the Besthesda games, anyway. And I know they know that fact too, they told me so with their end of the year report…
OLED Switch 2, _or nothing._
Great Stuff.
