Switch 2 announced today Anonymous 01/16/2025 (Thu) 10:18:02 Id: 46c05e No. 1061434
Edit: It was announced. More details on April 2nd https://youtu.be/itpcsQQvgAQ?si=cOMpOEsP1qTLkzO- Basically everybody who's anybody in the game leaking scene says today Nintendo plans to shadowdrop a Switch 2 reveal, the 16th has been a consistent date thrown around for a little while now. No games, no software, just a console reveal. This is following huge Switch 2 leaks, up to and including actual photos of the console. It's not anything interesting, it looks like a bigger Switch with the words "Nintendo Switch 2" on the back. This is a heavily cropped photo of an actual unit somebody has, they've posted better ones since but I don't want to go digging for them.

>>1061987 >or people will think it's a children's toy Mah boi a children's toy is what all true consoles should strive for!
>>1061992 No! It's a mature electronic for mature people like me, dad! Only boomers like transparent devices.
>>1061933 >>1061940 Switch 2 also has 12GB DDR5 RAM and I think PS4 Pro has 8GB DDR5 RAM.
>>1061933 So it's essentially a portable PS4 Pro, cool
>>1061996 I'm pretty sure it's shared RAM though, which means 4GB for the OS and functions like recording gameplay and 8GB for actual games. Not sure if it's also shared VRAM?
>>1061996 >>1061997 >>1061999 PS4 Pro shares RAM too.

>>1061994 Every once in a while I look through my vidya folder and come across console concepts and I always just make myself depressed. Fucking shit ass gay iFuture bullshit we're stuck in I hate it.
>>1062002 retarded ergonomics, thank god you're not leading design
>>1062003 The exact ergonomics are negotiable but I'd rather have fun peripherals than what we have. At least the Wii tried even if 90% was just plastic snap on shells. Speaking of retarded ergonomics the PS5 controller doesn't feel good at all.

>>1061938 Super Mario 128 may finally be real.
>>1062004 It'll get fun peripherals, they always do.
>>1062006 What fun peripherals did the Switch get? I mean LABO was kind of a fun concept for a toy but that's not exactly what I mean.

>>1062007 In your controller context, these are fun.
>>1062008 I decided to also look some up myself because I thought I must have missed something. Apparently I sort of have. It's something at least.
>>1061997 Whether the Switch 2's specs are, I'm not worried either way. Like I expect a port of Elden Ring on the hybrid console for instance and it will look virtually indistinguishable from other platforms. And it's not like games will evolve much from that example and for the years to come either, so even the accusations of being an "already outdated" hardware won't stick as well.
>>1061997 It's a Playstation 4.5 due to the improved GPU as >>1061940 Says
>>1061934 That's the databus, it's not going to use 128-bit addressing. The only computers to ever actually do that were mainframes as far as I'm aware, 64-bit integers are so large (roughly 18.4 quintillion in decimal) there are few practical reasons to exceed them. It just makes calculations more computationally expensive.

>>1062015 It already roflstomps the shitty PS4/Xbone Jaguar CPU, so it being ahead, but still behind PS5's CPU *only* due to portable efficiency due to being custom architecture is already a positive sign. I promise you the moment it is able to be overclocked we are going to see this thing fly, quite literally due to the fan going crazy lol. The GPU is promising too, having 1060, grazing 1070 levels of performance is going to be nutty as fuck compared to last gen, especially with Nintendium DLSS. I'm optimistic with hardware, software tho...hope you enjoy playtroonic games.
>>1062012 >Whether the Switch 2's specs are, I'm not worried either way. Like I expect a port of Elden Ring on the hybrid console for instance and it will look virtually indistinguishable from other platforms. And it's not like games will evolve much from that example and for the years to come either, so even the accusations of being an "already outdated" hardware won't stick as well. "Portable PS4.5" should run modern multiplatforms well, tough for Switch but not 2. I have them on PC but portability is nice. I wouldn't care if specs were PS2, hardware doesn't interest me. Great exclusives like Switch interest me, Nintendo's strong there so I expect them. We only know Mario Kart so far because CES forced a Switch 2 reveal, we'll learn more before April.
>>1062024 Doesn't the Switch 2 use a CPU with an integrated graphics card, while the PS4 has a dedicated GPU? If so, it's weird to just compare their CPUs.
>>1062015 What I meant is we already have impressive ports of PS4 games with the first Switch (Nier Automata, EDF4.1, Ace Combat 7, etc.) with relatively minor concessions, so the Switch 2 is obviously going to be a leap on that department and make the lines that separate between platforms even blurrier. Even a slow turtle like Nintendo was bound to catch up with the competition once we've reached a hard ceiling of what the games can feasibly do technology-wise. And I doubt many games will be requiring stronger hardware than the Switch 2 unless optimization shenanigans happen. It amuses me when the Ryu ga Gotoku and Ace Combat studios didn't even bother to test the Switch hardware and its capabilities until very recently, and only because they had no choice due of the current business situation in their home market.
>>1062029 Ps4 used an apu.
>>1062024 The ps4 had 8 cores so that's not an entirely fair comparison.

>>1062002 >WarioWare Bop-It is a thing that could technically exist We live in the worst timeline.
>>1062032 >And I doubt many games will be requiring stronger hardware than the Switch 2 unless optimization shenanigans happen. I wouldn't be surprised if we see some developers complaining about "Muh underpowered hardware" when they already admitted almost a year ago that they weren't even using the PS5 to it's fullest extent over the past several years.
>>1062064 The PS5 and Switch are not remotely comparable in power. The Switch is basically a smartphone from 2014.
>>1062014 That's great, Switch 2 at PS 4.5 power, for a portable, was more than I expected, I'm optimistic and waiting to see the launch lineup.
>>1061623 Mario Kart 9, from the looks of it. >>1062008 >8bitdo Could you really say the Switch "got" these since Nintendo didn't make them and you can use them on other consoles?

A lot of 8bitdo controllers are Nintendo themed and work on Switch.
>>1062147 The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller may be Nintendo's best, I use it for Switch and PC.
Did they add Hall Effect thumbsticks or what?
(157.16 KB 1200x815 gulikit.jpg)

>>1062156 8bitdo does Hall Effect thumbsticks, and GuliKit makes 100% fittable Hall Effect thumbsticks to drop into Nintendo-made Switch controls with no hassle.

>>1062155 8BitDo Ultimate 2C shares Switch controller design and works with both too.
