Yeah he leaked a few Directs last year and even was a mod here so you can trust him.
Famous for being right? Or infamous? Not at all familiar with them so I don't know their track record.
As both a PS5 and XSX owner, the Switch Pro or whatever it will be called is my most anticipated hardware in quite a long time. Hyped!
First time posting in this forum. I'm really looking forward to whatever pokémon game comes out this year.
Hmm, I don't know. 4k for Switch Pro is like generational gap big.
Doesn't have to be native 4K though, might "just" be upscaled 4K via DLSS or another AI upscaling method.
Would probably be DLSS 4K, so half the effort roughly. That leak seems rather surface level, so I wouldn't try to divine precise details from it.
It's the same leap as Xbox One to Xbox One X and "4K" doesn't mean every game will render at that full resolution(because they don't even on PS5/XSX) regardless of DLSS or upscaling.
Okay guys I need to tell you something, my uncle is Doug Bowser Jr., here a 100% true leak
- DK Country 3.0+1.0, OST composed by Sawano
- Octopath Depression, a spiritual sequel to Octopath Traveller by Team Asano, character design and story by Inio Asano
- MK9, but it's actually Mortal Kombat port
- Xenoblade: Horny Jail, Xenoblade but with social links now
- Tokyo Mirage Sessions x Rabbids, a co-production between Ubisoft Milan and ATLUS. The Rabbids invade Shibuya and Rabbid Peach tries to become an idol
- Zelda Collection, MM3D and OoT3D, but only playable in portable mode putting the screen vertically to use the touchscreen
- Pokèmon Well Timed Diamond and Open Space Pearl. Splatoon crossover announced as Cyhtia is replaced by Marina in Diamond and Pearl in Pearl.

If the rumors in the Pro speculation thread are true, Switch Pro will actually be the successor and Nintendo is adopting the iterative strategy smartphones use.
Don't think E3 will happen (maybe some scaled-down digital event but I don't see Nintendo joining, they will be doing their own thing) but I suspect a similar reveal to market timeline to the Switch lite so around E3 time could check out.
Exactly. It likely means MK8D will render at 4K (DLSS, probably) docked, so that's a decent jump (2x ALU performance, and good tensor core power) but not an inconceivably huge increase. Games like XBC2/XBCDE might reach native resolution, though, with any luck.
People sometimes misjudge the 4K term: it's broadly applied whenever anything renders at 4K, even if the system itself doesn't render those pixels natively. As such, 'hitting 4K' is not nearly as difficult as it would be if it actually meant hitting native full 4K.
From a gpu viewpoint, xb1 to xb1x was close to a generational leap. They just got gimped by the weak cpu.
I'd warmly welcome a switch advance with such improvement.

The only think I want from a revision is a performance boost so previous switch games can benefit.
Games like Xenoblade getting a boost would be nice.

Really? But I don't understand, Switch 2 will still exist and with that name right?
Even if they did a normal E3 this year (I doubt it), I'm not sure about Nintendo doing something like a Direct or a big announcement in it anymore... they will do what they want when they want.
I truly do wonder about the Switch Pro rumors. It would be nice to run games at a higher res or with better performance in some manner but it's pretty outside the realm of what Nintendo has done before. I suppose we'll find out soon enough!
I'll get a pre-owned version of the next console at some point so I guess I'm not super invested either way. It would be nice to have!

I know there's a lot of DLSS believers but I still have reservations about it being a default assumption because it still needs to implemented individually in games, and it might be difficult to retrofit into existing games or engines. I would also say we don't actually know how it would scale down performance-wise to a mobile chip with less cores in a real world setting.
For that reason I would assume that even if the chip has tensor cores and DLSS is supported that for the most part performance boosts will come either solely or primarily from just raw performance boost even if it isn't enough to get to 4K. In my mind it would even make sense that for a Pro you would match portable mode to the existing docked profile(with a 1080p screen) and have a proportional boost for the new docked profile(~1440p-1800p?).
Technically it was announced beforehand but yeah you're correct so that's what... 2011?
10 year anniversary HYPE - Switch Pro is actually Switch U
Oo new thread.
I'm not sure how I feel about a Switch Pro... If there is one, I'm gonna have to buy it. And that's money I really did not intend spending this year.

If it is going in production soon we will see leaks more often from now on. Im excited!
Pvz would be a great addition, but I d rather have the first plants vs zombies (the tower defense game) it s still the best one
I'll be glad when the new model is confirmed, purely so that we can put all the speculation to bed. And then be inundated with dozens of threads about why Nintendo are doomed for either a) making too big a leap with their revision or b) not doing anywhere near enough with their revision.
The important part of the info is not where it will be announced (because that part is flexible) but the fact that it will be a system with improved specs and components.
Also if it has new JoyCons too, it will probably be a "New" model rather than a "Pro" (as in it will replace the current Switch).

Announced, no; revealed, yes. Typically if they were showing new hardware at E3, they would announce its existence at the start of the fiscal year and say "we will reveal it at E3."
I still very much like that idea - on paper at least.
I believe!
