if you look closely it says mother 3 somewhere idk I just wanted to make that joke

 

A Wario post is confirmation enough for me haha

I mean everything in those pictures lines up with everything we’ve heard

 

So I went down the rabbit hole after seeing you summon me and… oh god. All of our worst fears.

 

8nm in 2025 whyyyyy

 

- USB C soldered onto the board
- Seems to be the same cartridge reader module as Switch 1, also soldered onto the board (that's good), so BC as promised is a given
- no headphone jack in sight (for now)
- the serial number and model number of every part match up with all the credible leaks
- a really old, slow, big and hot nvidia GPU
- 2x6GB LPDDR5X
based on that:
- performance docked will be a bit above PS4
- performance undocked will be... questionable. I hope the screen isn't 1080p I'll tell you that because we're looking at a 7watt TDP.

 

Idk what half that stuff means, but I still appreciate the breakdown. Lol

 

it just means it's a needlessly underwhelming piece of hardware that we'll have to ride out 8 years on.

and it's not even just the performance, it'll chew through battery, be unnecessarily hot OR extremely underutilized esp. in portable mode, so that if we do get a higher resolution screen, that's where all the performance gains will be going to. (and at that wattage, DLSS can't really help)

 

Maybe by the time I can afford one they’ll have a Pro model. Lol

 

Looking on the bright side, what will this mean for the price point?

 

nintendo will make a healthy profit at 400 bucks ;)

 

Really? You don't think it'll be $300 like the original Switch?

 

I wonder if they’ll push $70 as the standard for Switch 2 games.

 

no, Might even be 459.

Only tentpole titles, so the ones you actually want. but it's mostly because the cartridges will hold a lot more data.

 

Surely this will be revealed before the end of February. I need to know more about Legends Z-A on Pokemon Day

 

I just want my Twilight Princess/Wind Waker port already.

 

I want StarTropics 3.

I'm dreaming the impossible dream.

 

I also want Starship Troopers 3

 

WW HD is like the only essential WiiU game still missing

 

OoT remake will be announced for 2027. - me if I was DanielRPK

 

Are you? (suspiciously)

 

What the fuck I was really hoping it would be a new, Nvidia GPU. That's ridiculous

 

I mean in terms of feature set it's fairly advanced (30xx series) it's just the die is old as shit.

 

Yeah, and tbh, PS4 performance on a handheld is still pretty fucking solid

I'm ok with 720p handheld. I mainly play docked, anyways.

 

I don’t care if it’s 720p or 1080p handheld. I just wish we’d have the option to get an OLED screen at launch. Forcing us to play on an LCD after using the OLED switch for years is going to look horrible
