Isn't it weird how a bunch of posters I've never seen before just started posting in the past couple days and yet nobody is like "who are you", must be nice

when u joined someone had just flamed out and left and you had a new reg date, but it wasnt cool that people jumped to immediatley accusing you over it and i believe i said as much at the time. i hope we can all post together in harmony.

The Switch is on Nvidia mobile hardware from 2015.

so what. what else would it possibly be using lmao how are u gonna fit a more powerful arm or amd soc/apu in there when the x1 already has to be heavily downclocked to reach temp and power reqs. also whats the actual benefit for anyone for them making a brand new platform thats way more expensive. no one benefits, at all.

It would change AAA 3rd party support from "what do you mean it's the streaming version" to "hey this runs okay"

which is a marginally big deal but not nearly as much for nintendo as anyone else

seems insanely unlikely unless theyre actually within spitting distance of even the series s, which would be extremely difficult to do on a handheld at all.

yeah but handheld mode the swithc is already solid, its docked that suffers if ever. but even docked the x1 has temp constraints on the switch that keep it heavily downclocked from stock. and they already use the better revisions in the lite and the current model switch and the temp savings wouldnt be enough for anything significant.

I mean, the OG tegra in the switch was a Maxwell era chip on a 20nm tsmc node that I don't even think they really used for much else, and the mariko "revision" was the exact same die but shrunk down to 14. Just that change got another 2 hours of battery out of it and a massive temp drop, a newly designed SoC with modern cores on a new 7nm or 5nm process would be a gigantic leap relatively speaking.

It still wouldn't do Series S performance, but it would be a massive, massive change.

e: the original chip was pretty bad to begin with tbh, it's got 4 low power arm cores that just don't work and aren't even exposed to the OS, they're just taking up die space for no reason.

right but the reason it was picked was because it was cheap and off the shelf. the switch lite is what $200 rrp? thats less than a modern snapdragon costs by itself lol nintendo obviously wanted the switch to be affordable and thats trumped most other concerns and probably will continue to given how well its worked out for them. also im sure the older and easier process helped them with getting so many units on market pre-foundry issues.

yeah we agree on this. although i wouldn't be surprised if nintendo is working much, much, MUCH more closely with their suppliers after the whole "whoops there's an on-die hardware exploit that's exposed via the fuckin joycon rail" thing.

lmao that owned. yeah would think theyre probably looking at it a lot more seriously, but then again this happened after the 3ds was so broken people could download games directly from the eshop for free for an extremely long time

yeah it's almost like piracy doesn't really affect sales much at all, and nintendo is run by a bunch of out of touch imperial era protectionists who constantly shoot themselves in the foot

i have no idea what you mean. now to load up the extremely limited list of nes games from the 80s ive been allowed access to on my switch

The Switch Pro wouldn't be either so what's your point

the person i was replying to literally said "its time for a new nintendo console" lol. and they were quoting someone asking why people want botw 2 to be "switch pro" exclusive. i do not see how the ps4 pro is a relevant comparison to either of these statements given that it isnt a new console, and nothing was exclusive to it. even if you discount the first statement as including a mid gen refresh as new, a mid gen refresh where Breath Of The Wild Two is exlcusive to it and not available on the two base systems might as well be a new generation that nintendo is branding badly

Why did the Kingdom Hearts story end up the way it did? It seems like the main Kingdom Hearts story could be entirely sustained purely on KH exclusive characters, like, what's the point of Final Fantasy and Disney poo poo being there? Would it just have been too much of a nightmare to craft and get approved any narrative that involved FF/Disney properties, to the point where the best they could do si compartmentalize that stuff as best as possible and focus on a bunch of OC characters with dumb names, horrible personalities, forgettable character designs, with deliberately obtuse contrivances woven in just everywhere?
