Indeed. But they do use upscaling when needeed (be it FSR or other more simple reconstruction methods like they did with Odyssey in portable). It's not possible to assert that this MK9 footage had no DLSS given the video compression and all. But there is on specific shot where the aliasing is so...

Mario Kart is definitively a new entry. You can look on YT for deep analysis of it. It's improved over MK8, but that's not super obvious at first glance. It's more polished and the scale of the scale is larger. And that's it. As for resolution, if the screen is indeed 1080p, it would make sense...

The addition of mouse controls sounds fine for some specific game genres, sure. But it's a hybrid console that will be primilarily played handheld orfrom the couch at home. I see this as a nice bonus at best. The difference in clocks seems to indicate that the target resolution when docked...

It's not even really evolving from a Switch. It's evolving from a thing that looks like a Switch front the front only. No button, no grid no hole no nothing on the top. Weird choice.

My thought, precisely. I'm sure someone MK8D hardcore fan will soon confirm it's MK9 or not, but it's a weird choice as the "first even Switch 2 images". Also, not a fan of the trailer being 100% CGI. At least this confirm all the leaks were just spot on, except for the colors on the tablet...

I get that it may be "cheaper", but since we also have cheap devices out there with SoC build on TSMC 5nm, I'd say TSCM 5nm is also cheap now. So the question is, how much "cheaper" is important to Nintendo? And cheaper to design this one chip... but once we add the cost of designing the...

If Nintendo performances target for this new system was basically to match PS4 era gaming experience, those clocks make a lot of sense. The CPU should still offer better performances vs any of old gen CPUs, including the PS4 Pro. This should be in fact very similar to the One X CPU. So I'd say...

The info comes from Zachy, a reliable dataminer, so a mistake is unlikely. But it sounds so weird maybe the actual clocks will be different for some reason, Idk, maybe those are clocks for testing purpose only that ended up in a production firmware... Anyway, let's assume this is the real deal...

This must be right to a certain extend. I guess competition alone is also supposed to achieve this "rise the tide for all boats" goal. A "low power profile" device being a big player in the market will entice devs to find ways to get their game run on it. I'm thinking of RAM and storage usage...

It's a wild guess yes, triggered by this last motherboard leak, based on nothing else that my own views about the state of the market for the next 8 years. You sum it up pretty well (minus rumored upcoming handhelds from Sony and XBox 😅), and I don't think stating my worries how a less powerful...

It's ok to have your own opinion, but I don't think it's sane to think of it as the only truth. I'm sure many gamers find that the SD or the Ally or whatever is better value value than the Switch, and I don't think they are all stupid or wrong. I have to apologize here. Indeed, I worded it...

Hi. And well, I find your take a bit weird. Why would people buy something else than the Switch 2? I mean, do you really think Valve/Asus/Lenovo/MSI/Sony/Microsoft and co are investing millions designing handhelds for fun? The Switch basically created the "high-end" gaming mobile market...

Numbers don't prove me wrong (well maybe they actually do but I don't have access to the true all-seeing power as of today). To me, numbers you provided just show that when a given device is innovative enough and is basically the only solid option on a given market, it will sell to more people...

1. Well depends on what Switch 2 and what PC handheld. A 4nm Switch would have been more "powerfull" overall than the SD. But the point was never to have a Switch 2 more powerfull than PCs, but to have a Switch 2 as powerful as possible is a reasonable ~$400 price range. Which should be possible...

Who buys a Switch, and why: I agree with Troyan here. It's very hard to tell why people buy a Switch. But asserting it's "for Nintendo games" as a general rule is almost guaranteed to be false. I think this stands true for ~15M people (being generous here) which is more or less what the WiiU...
