What do you hope a "Cutting Edge" Switch 2 has?
- Thread starter Meelow
- Start date
I would be absolutely shocked if the Switch's successor not only didn't have full BC support with Switch software, but the best BC implementation yet for a Nintendo platform. And I say that knowing full well which company I'm talking about.
My expectations are at minimum full physical/digital support and improved playback (i.e. hitting framerate/resolution targets more frequently) without the need to load up a legacy OS/blocked access to new system functions. And support for "enhanced" patches.
Irrespective of anything else, I'll know Nintendo is serious *IF* they opt for a graphene battery.
They do that and I'll be sure Switch 2 will be a beast.

The interpretation I have is that they're partnered with nVidia now, which opens up a giant portfolio of interesting tech that they're willing to incorporate in one way or another.
Yeah this would be great on Switch.
I want no bezels on my screen, those things are ridiculous
Enough power to run a ton of games at 60fps at the screens resolution and a built in microphone.
Messing around with the Labo VR software, they clearly had some enthusiasm and good ideas for it, despite the very limited hardware. I feel like DLSS was the missing piece of the puzzle to make VR work efficiently on mobile for them. Obviously the screen has to be MUCH higher resolution and higher framerate (not all the time, but in "VR Mode"), and the controller and headset tracking need to be sharp and handle 6DoF well, but Nintendo may be the best-equipped to take a swing at Oculus Quest right now.
I'd also like 1. a Smaller Dock , and 2. The ability to Wirelessly Broadcast to the Dock in close quarters, in addition to showing the same video on the Switch screen. This would be good for Streamers, as well as games where you want to use Touch Controls, but see it on your big screen. (For example, Super Mario Maker 2 building and playing.) WiFi 6 is basically made for this. Might be too expensive, but also maybe not?

Essentially, DLSS. Every other thing, on the technological benefit side, would come with by default, as consequence of having that tech present. The power per watt improvements for even better battery life, higher RAM speed and more RAM with the newer memory chips, heck maybe even the what-was-it Nvidia IO system for loading assets directly into the GPU.
On the software side, the possible/necessary improvement are too many to list, but hopefully there will be better security to give at least some time until the hackers/'homebrewers' break in and start causing issues for everyone else.

I would like to see them add DLSS 2.0 and 4K in the successor. That alone would be huge for them.
I hope the built in screen resolution stays the same. Improved screen resolution would sacrifice battery life and battery life should be the top priority for Nintendo. Battery tech advances very slowly and Nintendo needs to act accordingly.
Yeah the whole "cutting edge" thing was really badly taken out of context:

DLSS and a new Nvidia ARM custom Soc based on Ampere rather than a new Tegra, so it would be able to run even the more demanding next-gen games at 1080p with DLSS. If they keep the price as low as 399$ with all the third parties on board and Nintendo exclusives, it would be a serious PS5 contender
my dream is for the switch to see performance boosted to a level closer to a GTX 970.
So basically:
- DLSS 2.0 compatibility
- Decent quad-core/8-thread CPU
- GTX 970/GTX 1650 Super tier graphical performance
- At least 8GB of GDDR6 Ram
- An internal 512GB NVMe, with an NVMe expansion port for more storage
- A 1440p 90-120hz screen
- Full VR Support
- A Camera on the back and front sides, for Augmented Reality and motion tracking
- Improved Joyce's, with significantly better motion tracking
End Result:
- A Switch with not only 4k capability, but also full VR/Mixed Reality support.
- This would be a completely untethered VR machine, that could probably blow away the Oculus Quest 2
- With untethered mixed Reality, games could be designed to auto-generate worlds based on your actual play space. For example: scan your whole house in 3D, or go to the local park, or an abandoned building and scan it and play.
- It would also, in combination takeba system capable of running Xbox One/PS4 era games at 1080p 60fps, and combine it with DLSS 2.0, to run games at 4K 60fps, or 1440p 120fps, or 1440p 60fps with more capable visuals.

I would take continuing to have to replace Joy-cons for drift over that.
This guy gets it.
The one thing we're always guaranteed to get out of a Nintendo investors meeting is rampant speculation over mistranslated executive spiel.
Where was this ever said, in that random tweet by somebody or is there an actual quote by a Nintendo exec somewhere? All I found in yesterdays slides is "we can't simply follow what other companies are doing or chase the latest technology trends", which sounds quite the opposite of what people are claiming.
You mean Nintendo isn't going to beat Apple to the latest process nodes? I'm shocked, shocked.
how did we never get this on the 3ds :(((( IT WOULD HAVE BEEN PERFECT
The real translation is not gonna stop people from assuming the quote is accurate sadly.
