Taipei-based Economic Daily News: New more powerful Switch console with new features coming next year.
- Thread starter Homer J Simpson
- Start date
- Rumor
Seems like the easiest way to implement a boosted model would be to have it run the docked profile for every game, even while in portable mode. Idk how docked performance would change though except with case-by-case patches
The Animal Crossing team is also the Splatoon team. There's no one to make a Splatoon 3.
I'd be OK with this even though I upgraded to a AC Switch just this year.
Makes sense too. They were very explicit that they wanted the Switch to last 6-7 years. A mid-life refresh totally makes sense here for then a '23 or '24 Switch 2 launch.

Isn't there a Japanese dev saying that their game will come to "next-gen Switch" or something like that?

my assumption is, this is switch pro. It's only been 3 years since switch launched. I don't think Nintendo is done with switch.
Interesting. I always expected Nintendo to do a refresh (I think we would have heard things from insiders/devs by now if it was a new system).
But with how Switch is selling I'd stick with a refresh too, honestly.
My only fear is Nintendo making the boosts on a game by game basis lol

This would be a disaster. No way the Switch 2 is releasing next year.
I'm adding some translations to that same post you quoted.
BotW2 launching along side the "pro" system just like BotW did with the Switch at launch would be very smart of them. The Switch was revealed in October last time but it had free reign with no next gen releases so maybe we'll see an announcement closer to December or January this time?
I would mainly be interested if it has a bigger screen. Not necessarily a bigger device, but if they could just shrink the bezels and have a larger/better display since I play 99% handheld. Either way, exciting. Def didn't think it would release in 2020. Although I also didnt think they would release anything in 2021, but more around 2022/2023.
IF this is even true, regardless of whether this is a Switch Pro or Switch 2, PLEASE support DLSS 2.0. It could be a game changer (literally), especially for getting next gen ports.
oh and fix the damn joycon issues

That is on Nvidia to say whether the new Switch will have DLSS at all.
It seems like Pixart will be manufacturing the next-gen Joycons. I'm just doing my best to translate this.
what do yall think in terms of price; say if it has bigger screen/smaller bezels, better internals, premium hardware on the outside. Maybe $100 more?
I'd rather a Pro model in the middle of the Switch life than a hurried developed succesor. With a new model in the market Nintendo and Nvidia can take their time to make a worth Switch succesor, DLSS would be glorious and a great wait to fill the graphical gap between the other consoles, I don't expect this technology in a revision tho.

Translating this a bit:
- Macronix, Pixart, and Weltrend are included on the list of new manufacturers for the next-gen Switch.
- New Switch will have better interactions/communications, and will have a new display quality (which may refer to a more crisper output, not necessarily a resolution bump).
- Pixart will be the new manufacturer that will produce the next-gen Joycon controllers, including the next-gen motion sensing.
I just upgraded to switch version 2 last month. I'm still ok with switch pro launching next year. I am going to end up buying switch pro if it launches early next year. Here is hoping it's 4K docked, with 1080p screen.
I don't think a "Pro" model would have DLSS. Maybe I guess, but I think that's something more that would have to be for Switch 2 (an entirely new system).
Hope it's true. I imagine I'm not alone, but I will pay pretty much any price for the best possible hardware to play Breath of the Wild 2 on. That is my most anticipated title by far, and I would gladly grab a Switch Pro to play with slightly more stable framerate or slightly bigger screen or whatever they want to offer.
Longer wait than PS4 to PS4 Pro and the same as Xbox One to Xbox One X.
I'll buy one for sure. Games like Xenoblade could benefit greatly from a hardware bump. Will prolly give my current Switch to my niece or something.
Are we talking about Q1 FY 2021, or Q1 2021 on the calendar? Just wondering.
The article mentioned 最快今年第4季開始備貨，明年初問世, so I can't say if it's referring to FY 2021, or calendar 2021.
I assume calendar. Basically mimicing the release of Switch with BotW 1.
I agree, DLSS seems like it will be used as one of the big things to set the successor apart and make the generational leap seem bigger.
But if this pro device is real Nintendo would still be left behind since devs will still have to develop with the original switch in mind. Because they're so far behind in power a slightly more powerful console won't do much.
There's no point announcing it more than 10 weeks or so beforehand. But it's totally launching with BotW2, so they can put that up for pre-order instead.
All Switch Pro games will have to work on the base Switch. Don't expect a massive improvement.
I really hope so, Switch (and well its successors) is the only console that I'd buy a pro version of simply because I just really enjoy the device but I'm usually disappointed in the performance. I would pay top dollar for a top of the line Switch as long as its supported well and not halfassed by pubs/devs.
Why? The game keeps selling might as well continue support. Same with Smash getting a second batch of DLC fighters.
Imo that's less than likely for a Pro revision, but certainly something to eye for the next system.
I need to know how big of a jump it is before getting hyped. If it's New 3DS level then I won't bother, if it's got a better screen, battery and runs games 25% better than the base Switch I'm in. I play 100% handheld so I'm only interested in boosts to that experience. a March 2021 launch for the new model could let them stretch the Switch's lifecycle out until 2024-25 too, release one every four years. Releasing alongside BOTW2 would be a brilliant idea.
If Nintendo wants to be like Apple then this needs to be switch 2 with backwards compatibility, if it's just a new 3ds style upgrade then that strategy is no different than they have been doing since the first DS
