Sure, just like the “leakers” guessed it would come out last year, and the year before that, and the year before that… don’t worry, just keep moving that goalpost, you’ll get it right one day.
Yeah, this time the “leaks” are “different”, just like they were “different” last time, and the time before that, and the time before that, and…
Really hope the next 3D Mario is a launch title, very much looking forward to what comes after Odyssey. Bowsers Fury was good, but didn’t have the replayability of the other 3D titles
I’m really disappointed with Wonder too, it just wasn’t all that fun or challenging. Probably least favourite mainline 2D. They need to be making these more frequently and there’s no need to reinvent the wheel.
I agree, and rarely see this opinion voiced. So much love for such a subpar game.
The multiplayer especially was one of the worst experiences I’ve seen from Nintendo in a while.
Orbital updates for Russel’s teapot.
Lame if true. The switch is painfully underpowered at this point.
It was painfully underpowered when it launched. The SoC in it was already 2 years old, the Switch is basically a mid-range smartphone from 2015 that launched in 2017.
Wasn’t the SOCs in Xbox and PlayStation also old on launch.
It takes a fuckton of time to make hardware like that.
The SoCs in the Xbox One and PS4 both use highly custom AMD Jaguar SoCs with more powerful graphics capability than AMD included in their home release version of their Jaguar APUs. The Jaguar architecture launched mid-2013. The Xbox One and PS4 both launched in November 2013.
Compared to the Switch, which uses a slightly modified nVidia Tegra X1 chip, that is actually underclocked. The nVidia Shield TV was more powerful as it did not underclock the X1 chip (Switch is about 780Mhz (docked BTW, an undocked Switch runs at a measly 300MHz) while Shield TV is 1Ghz). The Tegra X1 launched in 2015, and the Switch launched in 2017.
More ridiculously some rumours are saying that the Tegra in the new switch would use Samsung 8N process. Well, Yuzu fans might simply stick with their Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 then.
I’ve got a bridge to sell you - if you think the Switch 2 isn’t going to be criminally underpowered.
Depends, the faves that are made purely for it in mind are great in my opinion. Animal Crossing, mario odyssey and wonder and the like. All look great and run great.
I agree, but they will undoubtedly be able to do more with more capable hardware. I was also disappointed by the switch’s relative lack of gimmicks beyond its hybrid nature. I miss streetpass, Miiverse, etc. I hope they can get back to some of that on the next gen hardware.
I’m kinda glad it’s devoid of gimmicks. A lot of them felt like it was just Nintendo was putting them in there for the sake of having gimmicks.
I do really miss dual screen gaming though. The assymetrical stuff that the wii u did was A tier and its not been replicated anywhere without the need of a second independent device. Also Mass Effect 3 on the wii u was the best version because of the gamepad. It was great not only having a map at all times but also being able to issue commands without having to go into that wheel menu that slowed the game down.
Oh man this just isn’t for me, I hate how gimmicky everything Nintendo touches is.
A handheld that can play real 3D games was a hell of a selling point. It basically single handedly made the Steam Deck happen.
They also have ring fit and labo.
I also agree. I hope the really blow it out of the water with both power and bringing back some of that ol’ nintendo charm. Switch feels very lonely with how clinical it is.
I mean they had Labo, but they kinda did it half heartedly, instead of creating actual accessories. Being made of cardboard was kind of a shame.
I liked the idea, but it was expensive for what it was even if technically it was the right price for the parts cause it wasn’t just any old standard cardboard. I do think they should’ve kept going with it though
I can’t say I’m surprised, based on the rumors we’ve been seeing so far, but it is disappointing
Multiple major media outlets are confirming this.
T239 in 2025?? LCD? Seriously?Wow, if so, the Switch will be Nintendo’s longest-lived console by a wide margin at 8 years.
