@@rals_0 the only usage of storage memory is to download games. 256GB is larger than most cellphone storages now. If they can cut back the cost of the consoles by 30 bucks, it would be so attractive to consumers. They could choose to out their foot down and say physical media all the way. Nintendo has the bargaining chips to dp so. Instead of $400, it releases with $370.
I mean most devs are making for the Series S anyway and dropping the resolution a little to account for whatever slight difference there is may be just easy enough to port modern games to it and have them upscaled to an impressive image with plenty of frames coming in. Idk why people complaining. As an rtx owner (first was 2060 super and current is 3080) I know first hand what dlss does. It's fucking godtier upscaling that doesn't affect performance. This means they have an advantage in playing catch-up. And most consumers will take that clear upscaled visual over native because it is also portable. This should worry Xbox and PlayStation imo. Because it puts them close enough to receive the same games and dlss is good enough to satisfy the majority of gamers. I say that as a PC gamer. 😂
Key word is "just." Not "instead of" which has been Nintendo's mantra since the Wii. You _can_ have both innovation and bleeding-edge performance. In fact, we almost did. Initially the Wii (at the time code-named 'Nintendo Revolution') was going to compete with the PlayStation 3 and XBOX 360 in power. However, Iwata said that he wanted a low-profile console that was affordable, and small enough to fit on any coffee table. The size of about 3 DVD cases stacked together. Obviously, you cannot get PS3/360 level power (at that time) in such a small package. Even at the size that they were, both the PS3 and 360 had cooling issues leading RROD, YLOD, BLOD, etc. The reason why I said they could have had both is because of the price. The XBOX 360 core system (no HDD) was $299. The 20GB HDD XBOX 360 was $399. The Wii was $199. Making the console on-par or even somewhere in the neighborhood of the 360 would NOT have made it more expensive. Nintendo was just trying to be greedy not wanting to sell the console at a loss, but like in all cases greed clouds your judgment and stops you from bigger blessing later. People didn't care about the Wii being cheaper. They cared about he motion-control and they would have paid whether it cost to play that. Had the Wii of been HD, after the novelty of motion-control wore off, they still would have had an HD system capable of playing all the games that the 360 and PS3 were and thus the Wii probably would have been best-selling console of all-time. Trying to be greedy they played themselves. Just like they did with he N64 and GameCube.

As long as the ram is double what’s in the Xbox series S. Xbox Series S specs. 10 GB of RAM. 512 GB storage drive (360 GB of usable space) or 1 TB storage drive, depending on the model. 224 GB/s of memory bandwidth. 4 TFLOPS. If the Nintendo can double that then everything else the Nintendo is doing is fine it doesn’t matter if it’s the highest specs in the world.
I feel like this is kind of a stupid question. We’ve playing on the super underpowered switch for quite a few years, it’s obvious we don’t really care about graphical horsepower.
Yeah they are too stupid to understand this. Then they come with the steam deck. "just emulate the switch games". Yeah let me emulate ACNH and visit my friends online. Oh wait...
True. I trust Nintendo enough to give playable experiences. At same time, I would like them to not cut it so close like they did with the Switch many times.
Of course u will, but some people like to play Nintendo games and more hardcore mainstream games like cod and Madden. Some want the best of both worlds. I just buy Nintendo for Nintendo games and Xbox and ps5 for those games. That said, we would still like to see Nintendo games look as gorgeous as possible.
This still won’t be as powerful as the Ally X. Literally don’t understand the hype. I have the entire Switch library on my Ally X lol. I’ll buy the Switch 2 just to mod it to it’s actual abilities 😊

I've only just playing BoTW for the first time. I'm blown away by how good the game looks, sounds and plays. It's incredible. I also have a PS5 and nothing I've played comes close to BoTW on my Switch OLED. To think just how good games will look, and play, on the Switch 2, has me incredibly excited. No one makes games like Nintendo. Specs alone mean nothing. 💥
Lol no its not, its better than expected actually, we expected PS4 specs, but its closer to a Xbox Series S. Specially the 12gb of RAM are a very pleasant surprise and will give the console a longevity on the market. File decompression, DLSS, 12gb of RAM...

Considering that devs could create some amazing looking games on the original switch, such as alien isolation and grid auto sport, we'll be seeing some pretty nice graphics on the Switch 2.
If it sells like switch 1 then they port everything. This whole thing about power is nonsense. Sales dictate the effort to port. If they believe they can sell millions on the switch 2 then they will find a way to port it plain and simple.
Thank you. 😂 These fools think that Nintendo is after graphical power. Look at Xbox and Sony. Long dev time, 60% unhappy fans, overpriced consoles, uncompleted games, dlc, microtransactions, early access, pre-order promises broken or misled. And yes I'm a Nintendo fan since good old SNES and GB.
You can only go so far with how underpowered Nintendo hardware can be before even innovative games struggle to run on it. Imagine if Nintendo decided to stick with the Nintendo DS today. Would TotK even be able to run on that system?
@johnsyrup7323 excuse me, Nintendo is always innovative. People are just jealous or upset that Nintendo won't open their IPs to their competitors. For what? Look at all the studios they bought and tarnish those small devs to bankruptcy or dissolve their staff. As along as the the art designer can give us great illustrations like BotW or Mario Odyssey. There's no complaints from me.
These specs are way better than what I expected honestly. Given what Nintendo was able to pull off on the Switch, imagine what they can with the level of a Series S.

How long does Nintendo expect the Switch 2 run to last? 7-8 years like the current switch or more like 5-6 years? There are a lot of previous generation 3rd party ports that never made it to the switch due to it's limitations. The Switch 2 will have no problem running those games.
A hybrid console for Nintendo seems the best for them righg now they should honestly try to make it a permanent thing like how xbox or sony just makes more powerful consoles they should just make more powerful switches.
Nintendo seems to be the only company that is going to be able to actually have graphical leaps in consoles for years to come because they worry about the console second and the games first
- Look at the PlayStation 1 over the Nintendo 64 - Look at PlayStation 2 over the original XBox and GameCube. - Look at the Nintendo Wii over the PS3 and XBox 360. - Look at the Nintendo Switch over the PS4 and Xbox One. A more powerful console hasn't won since the 16-bit era 30 years ago, which is absolutely crazy to me.
At this point, I don't care. The Switch was too weak and underpowered even at its launch, and it gave me some the best gaming experiences I've ever had. I have a PC with a 5800X3D + 7900XT that I rarely ever use to its full potential. I still tend to play more indie and AA games.
Most modern games on Xbox/PS/PC are heavily under-optimised to hit their launch deadlines - i don't care what people say - it's the darn reality, get used to it. When you develop specifically for a hand-held device though, you have different quality standards that have to be met. You can't expect the raw brute-force performance of the hardware to do all the heavy lifting for you. If Nintendo continues its trend, I see it surpass PlayStation/Xbox in terms of software quality and gaming user experience. We are definitely buying the Nintendo Switch2 - we'll skip the PS5 Pro since we already have x2 PCs and x2 PS5.
Every single month its the same thing? "It was supposed to be this month, but an insider just told everyone it was actually delayed into next month so it's actually next month. But hey, 10th times the charm right?"
Nintendo has managed some impressive ways to make newer games work on outdated hardware. The takeaway here is that Nintendo will be releasing something that won't cost $700.
These specs sound fantastic. Can you just imagine the worlds that the Mario team and Zelda teams will build woth this power. Its got me excited. Plus getting to that PS4 - PS4 pro lvl of power means it will be alot easier and i think we will all be shocked at how good some of these 3rd party ports will end up looking on switch 2.
Well, about the specs, I don't really bother if you looking a deal 10 years with Microsoft about Call of Duty Microsoft and Nintendo have now negotiated and signed a binding 10-year legal agreement to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo players - the same day as Xbox, with full feature and content parity That's mean next gen Nintendo is more powerful than original switch and can compete with current gen from Playstation and Xbox
I JUST watched an ETA Prime video where he's playing God of War Ragnarok at an AVERAGE 62 fps..as long as game devs keep optimizing the games they make for the Switch 2, it should be an awesome experience... I'm definitely gonna get the new Nintendo console..probably not a PS5 pro..
This is actually PERFECT. We need to remember that Nintendo in particular goes by a specific philosophy when it comes to their games. They've been doing this ever sense the non-colored gameboy. At that point, there were already better performing handhelds than the gameboy. But the gameboy outlived them all and still sold the most.
The handheld mode should be PS4 as base. The original PS4 is what the original switch already is, but a bit weaker. I am sure the system will be powerful enough. Games are scalable these days, so it is not like Nintendo will be left behind. Will it have fast loading like an SSD? Will the system have haptic feedback? People keep complaining about the lack of a graphical update on current generation systems but forget all about fast loading and haptic feedback. These things distinguish PS5 from PS4. People focus too much on graphics as the distinguishing factor between consoles. I get why, but people are going to have to rely on other things outside of visuals going forward.
Exactly. A powerhouse console without games built to play on it is like a powerhouse car without roads built to drive it on. It's like building a dragster in the middle of the city.
I have no issue with the power. We've got 2 powerful consoles with the 5 and X and 0 games. Nintendo always finds a way to make their games enjoyable. I'll take that over a high-tech paper weight.
If it has the power of a PS4 in handheld mode. It's an accomplishment by itself. It will have similar power to the Steam Deck with less power draw. Also you can't take away the fact that developers will optimize their games to run on this console. The Steam Deck uses the PC version of the games. I think I will be an amazing console. If they can get the $399 price tag on it. I will be unbeatable.
@@rals_0not if you live in Canada at that point just wait for a lite model or just get a ps5. $399 is a great price tag. Especially if you live in a country where the economy is much lower than the US
I think the point is that they’re not trying to create an insanely powerful console, they’re trying to make a more powerful console that is well compacted in a light weight handheld while keeping the price tag reasonable. Accomplishing that in addition to first party support of exclusives is gonna be magnificent. Nintendo aren’t competing with Sony and Microsoft, they’re not even competing with new handheld PCs, Nintendo is making something different that everyone wants to have.
5:43 - DLSS isn't really the kind of AI that I think is worrying. It's really not trying to emulate human thought - it's just mapping one set of pixels to another set of pixels. It's not trying to understand context or anything like that.
Guys, come on. Graphics haven't improved that much the past 5 years. If the system is close to the PS4 pro, it will be amazing. Besides, who even notices the fine details in games? These exist only to impress a specific group of people.
Graphics are really not getting all that much better. I feel stronger hardware is used for bigger worlds, but there is a point where the bigger worlds have empty unused spaces.
I think that companies (3rd party) who really want to hit peak sales numbers are going to have to target the new Nintendo console. The specs sound good enough to make this appealing to those companies (especially companies like square enix) and for that reason, I think it will definitely have the 3rd party games to fill in the gaps between their first parties on the new console.
Seeing as how the Switch won the “console war” despite being derided as woefully underpowered for this generation and the massive backlash the PS5 pro is getting for graphics looking no better than base PS5 (and I’d argue insignificantly better than PS4 pro) I’m not at all worried. Until we get to “Ready Player One” levels of immersion, we’re officially in the area of diminishing graphical returns.
No, it won't sell because people don't see the point in upgrading to the same thing again; that's the mindset of Nintendo gamers. It will flop not due to performance but because it's perceived as the same product offered again.
@ThaexakaMavro yeah... nobody plays Nintendo consoles for the graphics, lol. They haven't actively tried to compete in the graphics department since before you were probably born.
Compared to everyone else, Nintendo is always using outdated tech/chips and very underpowered compared to their competitors. The chipset the Switch used (same as the Nvidia Shield Pro) was outdated the second it came out. And you're right. Unless you're a Nintendo diehard. There's 0 point to buying 3rd party titles on the Switch. The only significant jump they made compared to others. Was the WiiU and they made sure to flush that thing down the drain within the first year.
I think if they can hit PS4 or better performance, yes is more than enough. We are talking about a handheld, anyone who expects PS5 performance on a handheld has lost touch with reality.
@@barcster2003 Yep and I think Nintendo's own IP's will most likely be native 1080p 60fps unless we are talking about your Bayonetta, Xenoblade, Metroid... That will push the system. I think in handheld mode DLSS will be used more by 3rd party specially lower internal resolutions like 720p and below and then upscale to 1080p. Where I think DLSS will truly shine is in docked mode on a 4K television but we must wait and see.
@@barcster2003 Yeah and most people also don't realize that for smaller screens these resolutions are still fine because of the pixel density. However I do believe that if Nintendo goes for a 8 inch screen like the leaks are claiming what does make sense considering that hardware like Smartphones, TV's all are getting bigger and bigger in size (because that's what people prefer). The Switch 1 was also never really portable like the DS or 3DS so it doesn't bother me I also own a Steam Deck so yeah. 8 inch 1080p screen is totally fine and I hope Nintendo sticks to Nvidia hardware and yes Nvidia is not my favorite company by far but I can't deny that DLSS is much better than any other upscaling solution, be it FSR, Intels solution and PlayStation's old checkerboard rendering, no idea how their new PS5 resolution upscaler will look like, very interested in that one as well.
I've seen people mainly complain that visually the console is too similar to the previous one and doesn't make a big enough external change to stand out.
Moreover it is going to kill the PS5 and hurt the PS6 enough before it comes out that Sony is in serious trouble. Sony’s game division will be dead by the PS7, that will be their Dreamcast.
Doubt the PS6 do well unless they actually do something with the it (for example, make the PSP3 instead of the PS6 and return to the it when its actually possible to make it cheaply and with new innovations)
As someone who plays on both PC and Switch, all I want from this thing is a backwards compatible system with a reasonable power boost that's roughly on par with a Steam Deck that's not going to bog down at the sight of a couple particles and that doesn't force any visually appealing game to run at 30fp. If Valve managed to pull that off 2 years ago, I'm sure Nintendo can do it as well. Maybe an ergonomics update for the woefully uncomfortable joycons would be appreciated as well, but nothing to reinvent the wheel is necessary for me.
@@TXetc yeah. I’ve just unsubbed from your channel bro.🤣🤣 I get it though, it was different. And I think that’s why I liked it. Sometimes I get tired of the same old thing ya know. But, this is why I’m glad we got so many games to choose from, choice is good.☺️
@@redeyejedi4400Its really not. You cant even notice it if you are sitting comfortably far away from a tv screen, and its definitely not noticable in handheld when the screen is only 8 inches.
@@BrocktaviusKingofNFCI can confirm. Ive had a steam deck and its huge. Not saying its a bad thing but its a bit massive for a console that is mainly targeted towards children.
@@angrywhalewatcher Would be nice to see Nintendo return to dedicated home consoles rather than hybrid. Keep the pro controller and boost the hardware a bit. That would be nice.
The only time i notice ray tracing is when it's a mod on an old game, like doom or minecraft. All nintendo needs to do is to be able to run its own games 1080p at 60fps.
If you bought the switch at launch and do it again for the switch 2, then you would have spent around $850 USD of next year’s money to have the ability to play video games for at least 16 years. That’s less than $55 a year, less than $5 per month for a current Nintendo console. That’s INSANE value.
And that’s not even considering that there’s a good chance of backwards compatibility and you might be able to sell your first switch, which has also minimally depreciated compared to other consoles.
@@BenEmmerson-d2t Also, you don’t need to purchase a separate drive or pay a premium for a version that is capable of playing physical games. You have the option to buy a game enjoy it for as long as you want and then sell it or swap it for minimal loss or preserve it forever. Nintendo games only gain appreciation with time, and in some cases you will end up with more value than what you paid for. That’s worth the extra price imo.
If this means that it can run elden ring, that's as good as I'd want it. Nintendo will never be as powerful as the new gen consoles because they've found their niche in hybrid consoles that are about a generation behind in terms of power
The switch could almost run Elden Ring, really just needed a little bit more CPU performance and a tiny bit more GPU. The Witcher 3 runs on the switch, not pretty, but it does run. Switch 2 is going to be very impressive for what it is.
Sony & Xbox 2015: Resolution and 4k matter most Sony & Xbox 2025: FPS is the most important thing Sony & Xbox 2035: Oh yeah I guess we should make fun games.
It’s not about specs, it’s about the games. The games sell the hardware, and always will. I am going to ignore the alleged leaks and supposed specs until Nintendo reveals the system and first game footage themselves. It can be fun to speculate but we’ve been speculating for many years now, and it’s tired and old. We’re so close to the system being revealed so let’s just be patient and look forward to the big reveal by Nintendo.
Its not about specs, its about the games sure, but at the same time, the limited specs on the switch didn't let you have more third party games like Evil West, Scarlet Nexus, Tales of Arise, Elden Ring, Hi-Fi Rush, Resident Evil 4 remake, etc. The power on a console does matter to some extent.
There are barely any games being made that actually fully utilize what PS5/XSX provide the capability for, because they're so focused on also providing games for their weaker alternatives. The only level the switch has to hit in terms of strength is the ps4/ps4 pro, that's it. That alone basically catches nintendo up to their competition for the first time since the Wii days which caused them to fall behind. If the specs are true, then this means 3rd party support will be better than ever, we get fewer compromised half assed ports, AND nintendo games are still going to have the care and style we all have come to know and love.
I've been mainly an Xbox gamer for the past 18 years or so. But since the launch of the Series X, raw power has done pretty much nothing for me. When I finally tried Super Mario Odyssey, 7 years after it released, I was quite blown away by how good a game that was... seeing how little Sony and Microsoft have achieved with all that horsepower, I'm way more excited for the Switch 2 than anything else, no matter the specs.
Too weak? Look at what they did with the Switch. Additionally, we can all agree game budgets are out of control. Games need to scale down, not up, and if the next Switch is relative to a PS4 that puts it in the sweet spot.
nintendo is the only one that can keep physical games alive at this point
Probably not for long. Considering Switch 2 has 256GB, they are pushing for digital sales, this is probably the last generation for physical games.

"Please understand, I am not trying to say technology isn't important, but if we are just focusing on technology, we will not succeed" ~ Satoru Iwata
Key word is "just." Not "instead of" which has been Nintendo's mantra since the Wii. You _can_ have both innovation and bleeding-edge performance. In fact, we almost did.
Initially the Wii (at the time code-named 'Nintendo Revolution') was going to compete with the PlayStation 3 and XBOX 360 in power. However, Iwata said that he wanted a low-profile console that was affordable, and small enough to fit on any coffee table. The size of about 3 DVD cases stacked together. Obviously, you cannot get PS3/360 level power (at that time) in such a small package. Even at the size that they were, both the PS3 and 360 had cooling issues leading RROD, YLOD, BLOD, etc.
The reason why I said they could have had both is because of the price. The XBOX 360 core system (no HDD) was $299. The 20GB HDD XBOX 360 was $399. The Wii was $199. Making the console on-par or even somewhere in the neighborhood of the 360 would NOT have made it more expensive.
Nintendo was just trying to be greedy not wanting to sell the console at a loss, but like in all cases greed clouds your judgment and stops you from bigger blessing later.
People didn't care about the Wii being cheaper. They cared about he motion-control and they would have paid whether it cost to play that. Had the Wii of been HD, after the novelty of motion-control wore off, they still would have had an HD system capable of playing all the games that the 360 and PS3 were and thus the Wii probably would have been best-selling console of all-time. Trying to be greedy they played themselves. Just like they did with he N64 and GameCube.
Iwata's philosophy still rings true today
Ps5 has hardly no games for it but it's got important technology. Switch is far behind in technology but is still getting new games faster. I got both so it doesn't matter I get to enjoy it all

the specks are fine, it almost has the same specks as a ROG ally, its supposedly going to be $200 cheaper than the ally, and its going to have the full force of Nintendo and its first party games. its going to be great
And psychical games
Lower specs but a much slimmer OS which will allow more performance
it will be more powerful cuz it is a closed system.

As long as the ram is double what’s in the Xbox series S. Xbox Series S specs.
10 GB of RAM. 512 GB storage drive (360 GB of usable space) or 1 TB storage drive, depending on the model. 224 GB/s of memory bandwidth. 4 TFLOPS. If the Nintendo can double that then everything else the Nintendo is doing is fine it doesn’t matter if it’s the highest specs in the world.
I feel like this is kind of a stupid question. We’ve playing on the super underpowered switch for quite a few years, it’s obvious we don’t really care about graphical horsepower.
i was cool until Kingdom hearts came out in cloud version.
Yeah they are too stupid to understand this. Then they come with the steam deck. "just emulate the switch games". Yeah let me emulate ACNH and visit my friends online. Oh wait...
I don't buy specs, I buy games. If it's fully backward compatible and has worthwhile exclusives, I'll buy it.
True. I trust Nintendo enough to give playable experiences. At same time, I would like them to not cut it so close like they did with the Switch many times.
Of course u will, but some people like to play Nintendo games and more hardcore mainstream games like cod and Madden. Some want the best of both worlds. I just buy Nintendo for Nintendo games and Xbox and ps5 for those games. That said, we would still like to see Nintendo games look as gorgeous as possible.

Lol no its not, its better than expected actually, we expected PS4 specs, but its closer to a Xbox Series S.

True !
You don't buy Nintendo for specs you buy it for quality games and innovation
Thank you. 😂 These fools think that Nintendo is after graphical power. Look at Xbox and Sony. Long dev time, 60% unhappy fans, overpriced consoles, uncompleted games, dlc, microtransactions, early access, pre-order promises broken or misled. And yes I'm a Nintendo fan since good old SNES and GB.
great comment. bang on!!
You can only go so far with how underpowered Nintendo hardware can be before even innovative games struggle to run on it.
Imagine if Nintendo decided to stick with the Nintendo DS today. Would TotK even be able to run on that system?

Most modern games on Xbox/PS/PC are heavily under-optimised to hit their launch deadlines - i don't care what people say - it's the darn reality, get used to it. When you develop specifically for a hand-held device though, you have different quality standards that have to be met. You can't expect the raw brute-force performance of the hardware to do all the heavy lifting for you. If Nintendo continues its trend, I see it surpass PlayStation/Xbox in terms of software quality and gaming user experience. We are definitely buying the Nintendo Switch2 - we'll skip the PS5 Pro since we already have x2 PCs and x2 PS5.
If the rumored specs of NS2 are true, the system sounds fantastic.
Every single month its the same thing?
"It was supposed to be this month, but an insider just told everyone it was actually delayed into next month so it's actually next month. But hey, 10th times the charm right?"
Nintendo has managed some impressive ways to make newer games work on outdated hardware. The takeaway here is that Nintendo will be releasing something that won't cost $700.

Well, about the specs, I don't really bother if you looking a deal 10 years with Microsoft about Call of Duty
Microsoft and Nintendo have now negotiated and signed a binding 10-year legal agreement to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo players - the same day as Xbox, with full feature and content parity
That's mean next gen Nintendo is more powerful than original switch and can compete with current gen from Playstation and Xbox
The "before DLSS" comment is interesting as after DLSS can be quite impressive
It’s enough for me. I’m only interested in playing Nintendo games on Nintendo hardware. I’m sure the first party games will run fine on it.
Did I just hear super Mario sunshine slander ?????
I JUST watched an ETA Prime video where he's playing God of War Ragnarok at an AVERAGE 62 fps..as long as game devs keep optimizing the games they make for the Switch 2, it should be an awesome experience... I'm definitely gonna get the new Nintendo console..probably not a PS5 pro..
This is actually PERFECT.
We need to remember that Nintendo in particular goes by a specific philosophy when it comes to their games. They've been doing this ever sense the non-colored gameboy. At that point, there were already better performing handhelds than the gameboy. But the gameboy outlived them all and still sold the most.
Gameplay is king🫡
The handheld mode should be PS4 as base. The original PS4 is what the original switch already is, but a bit weaker. I am sure the system will be powerful enough. Games are scalable these days, so it is not like Nintendo will be left behind. Will it have fast loading like an SSD? Will the system have haptic feedback? People keep complaining about the lack of a graphical update on current generation systems but forget all about fast loading and haptic feedback. These things distinguish PS5 from PS4. People focus too much on graphics as the distinguishing factor between consoles. I get why, but people are going to have to rely on other things outside of visuals going forward.
You said it all: power isn’t as important as knowing what to do with it.
Exactly. A powerhouse console without games built to play on it is like a powerhouse car without roads built to drive it on. It's like building a dragster in the middle of the city.
I have no issue with the power. We've got 2 powerful consoles with the 5 and X and 0 games. Nintendo always finds a way to make their games enjoyable. I'll take that over a high-tech paper weight.
If it has the power of a PS4 in handheld mode. It's an accomplishment by itself. It will have similar power to the Steam Deck with less power draw. Also you can't take away the fact that developers will optimize their games to run on this console. The Steam Deck uses the PC version of the games. I think I will be an amazing console. If they can get the $399 price tag on it. I will be unbeatable.

I think the point is that they’re not trying to create an insanely powerful console, they’re trying to make a more powerful console that is well compacted in a light weight handheld while keeping the price tag reasonable. Accomplishing that in addition to first party support of exclusives is gonna be magnificent. Nintendo aren’t competing with Sony and Microsoft, they’re not even competing with new handheld PCs, Nintendo is making something different that everyone wants to have.
5:43 - DLSS isn't really the kind of AI that I think is worrying. It's really not trying to emulate human thought - it's just mapping one set of pixels to another set of pixels. It's not trying to understand context or anything like that.
Guys, come on. Graphics haven't improved that much the past 5 years. If the system is close to the PS4 pro, it will be amazing. Besides, who even notices the fine details in games? These exist only to impress a specific group of people.
Correct.

Graphics are really not getting all that much better. I feel stronger hardware is used for bigger worlds, but there is a point where the bigger worlds have empty unused spaces.

Wait did you just say Mario Sunshine is a terrible game?
I think that companies (3rd party) who really want to hit peak sales numbers are going to have to target the new Nintendo console. The specs sound good enough to make this appealing to those companies (especially companies like square enix) and for that reason, I think it will definitely have the 3rd party games to fill in the gaps between their first parties on the new console.
Better have just cause 3 ( and just cause 2 on switch 1) as well as sleeping dog
Seeing as how the Switch won the “console war” despite being derided as woefully underpowered for this generation and the massive backlash the PS5 pro is getting for graphics looking no better than base PS5 (and I’d argue insignificantly better than PS4 pro) I’m not at all worried. Until we get to “Ready Player One” levels of immersion, we’re officially in the area of diminishing graphical returns.
Let's be real. If you bought a Switch, which came with a mobile chip, you're buying a Switch 2.
You damn right!
Super Mario Sunshine is like a 6 out of 10 in quality, but still a 9 out of 10 for me. (Especially with some recent events.)
It's a Nintendo console, it's gonna be under powered. Software is what sells consoles not specs.
The truth that a lot of people don't want to hear
No, it won't sell because people don't see the point in upgrading to the same thing again; that's the mindset of Nintendo gamers. It will flop not due to performance but because it's perceived as the same product offered again.
@ThaexakaMavro Nobody buys Nintendo hardware for performance. They buy them because that's where you play Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon.
@@joeabernathy5402 and graphics
@ThaexakaMavro yeah... nobody plays Nintendo consoles for the graphics, lol. They haven't actively tried to compete in the graphics department since before you were probably born.
Compared to everyone else, Nintendo is always using outdated tech/chips and very underpowered compared to their competitors. The chipset the Switch used (same as the Nvidia Shield Pro) was outdated the second it came out.
And you're right. Unless you're a Nintendo diehard. There's 0 point to buying 3rd party titles on the Switch.
The only significant jump they made compared to others. Was the WiiU and they made sure to flush that thing down the drain within the first year.

I think if they can hit PS4 or better performance, yes is more than enough. We are talking about a handheld, anyone who expects PS5 performance on a handheld has lost touch with reality.
Yep it was never going to be ps5 performance in handheld mode and it doesn't have to. It maybe has to reach 1080p through dlss.
@@barcster2003 Yep and I think Nintendo's own IP's will most likely be native 1080p 60fps unless we are talking about your Bayonetta, Xenoblade, Metroid... That will push the system.

However I do believe that if Nintendo goes for a 8 inch screen like the leaks are claiming what does make sense considering that hardware like Smartphones, TV's all are getting bigger and bigger in size (because that's what people prefer). The Switch 1 was also never really portable like the DS or 3DS so it doesn't bother me I also own a Steam Deck so yeah.
8 inch 1080p screen is totally fine and I hope Nintendo sticks to Nvidia hardware and yes Nvidia is not my favorite company by far but I can't deny that DLSS is much better than any other upscaling solution, be it FSR, Intels solution and PlayStation's old checkerboard rendering, no idea how their new PS5 resolution upscaler will look like, very interested in that one as well.
That won’t happen for another 7-8 years.
I've seen people mainly complain that visually the console is too similar to the previous one and doesn't make a big enough external change to stand out.
Switch 2 being on the same power as PS4 combined with Zelda, Mario and handheld mode, it's going to kill both PS6 and Xbox easily
Moreover it is going to kill the PS5 and hurt the PS6 enough before it comes out that Sony is in serious trouble.
Sony’s game division will be dead by the PS7, that will be their Dreamcast.
Sony themself is killing the PS5 and maybe even the PS6 if they keep investing in live service games and remasters of games that still look great
Just for 2 games? Ps has been way ahead for a long time only have 2 franchises doesn't make the switch better
Doubt the PS6 do well unless they actually do something with the it (for example, make the PSP3 instead of the PS6 and return to the it when its actually possible to make it cheaply and with new innovations)
No it won’t don’t be a nintendroid
As someone who plays on both PC and Switch, all I want from this thing is a backwards compatible system with a reasonable power boost that's roughly on par with a Steam Deck that's not going to bog down at the sight of a couple particles and that doesn't force any visually appealing game to run at 30fp. If Valve managed to pull that off 2 years ago, I'm sure Nintendo can do it as well. Maybe an ergonomics update for the woefully uncomfortable joycons would be appreciated as well, but nothing to reinvent the wheel is necessary for me.

The only time i notice ray tracing is when it's a mod on an old game, like doom or minecraft. All nintendo needs to do is to be able to run its own games 1080p at 60fps.
Nintendo gonna reveal Switch 2 only after the Holiday season….. which means, early 2025.
i think this is good news... as it tells me they will also maintain an emphasis on 2-D platformers; which i think is fantastic.
Ps4 with DLSS handheld and PS4 Pro with DLSS docked?.. how is that weak for a rumoured $399 console?
RGT is a generational hater. Hating on people making switch 2 videos while making switch 2 videos. I love it.
If you bought the switch at launch and do it again for the switch 2, then you would have spent around $850 USD of next year’s money to have the ability to play video games for at least 16 years. That’s less than $55 a year, less than $5 per month for a current Nintendo console. That’s INSANE value.
And that’s not even considering that there’s a good chance of backwards compatibility and you might be able to sell your first switch, which has also minimally depreciated compared to other consoles.
@@rodrigo53 what about the games for it, they’re like £30 each
How much do you think the switch 2 will cost?
@@BenEmmerson-d2t Also, you don’t need to purchase a separate drive or pay a premium for a version that is capable of playing physical games. You have the option to buy a game enjoy it for as long as you want and then sell it or swap it for minimal loss or preserve it forever.
Nintendo games only gain appreciation with time, and in some cases you will end up with more value than what you paid for.
That’s worth the extra price imo.

There are far to many "leaks" I think every one needs to chill and be patient
If this means that it can run elden ring, that's as good as I'd want it. Nintendo will never be as powerful as the new gen consoles because they've found their niche in hybrid consoles that are about a generation behind in terms of power
The switch could almost run Elden Ring, really just needed a little bit more CPU performance and a tiny bit more GPU. The Witcher 3 runs on the switch, not pretty, but it does run. Switch 2 is going to be very impressive for what it is.
@@What_In_This_World the switch only has 4gb of ram and the pc version says it needs at least 12. Is the pc version really that unoptimised? XD
Yup, it can run elden ring surey at 1080p60fps, and 2k or 4k with dlss
Sony & Xbox 2015: Resolution and 4k matter most
Sony & Xbox 2025: FPS is the most important thing
Sony & Xbox 2035: Oh yeah I guess we should make fun games.
You’re always miserable…. Why?
Parents forgot to give them hugs.
It’s not about specs, it’s about the games. The games sell the hardware, and always will. I am going to ignore the alleged leaks and supposed specs until Nintendo reveals the system and first game footage themselves. It can be fun to speculate but we’ve been speculating for many years now, and it’s tired and old. We’re so close to the system being revealed so let’s just be patient and look forward to the big reveal by Nintendo.
Its not about specs, its about the games sure, but at the same time, the limited specs on the switch didn't let you have more third party games like Evil West, Scarlet Nexus, Tales of Arise, Elden Ring, Hi-Fi Rush, Resident Evil 4 remake, etc. The power on a console does matter to some extent.
Gaming never needed to go beyond PS4 level anyway, it's all diminishing returns from then on out, as we're seeing with the PS5 and XSX.
If Nintendo is behind it and supports it, guess it is enough. We have seen what vastly superior hardware gets us Nothing.
There are barely any games being made that actually fully utilize what PS5/XSX provide the capability for, because they're so focused on also providing games for their weaker alternatives.
The only level the switch has to hit in terms of strength is the ps4/ps4 pro, that's it. That alone basically catches nintendo up to their competition for the first time since the Wii days which caused them to fall behind. If the specs are true, then this means 3rd party support will be better than ever, we get fewer compromised half assed ports, AND nintendo games are still going to have the care and style we all have come to know and love.
I can only imagine what witchcraft Nintendo will be making if it's true
I've been mainly an Xbox gamer for the past 18 years or so. But since the launch of the Series X, raw power has done pretty much nothing for me. When I finally tried Super Mario Odyssey, 7 years after it released, I was quite blown away by how good a game that was... seeing how little Sony and Microsoft have achieved with all that horsepower, I'm way more excited for the Switch 2 than anything else, no matter the specs.
Too weak? Look at what they did with the Switch. Additionally, we can all agree game budgets are out of control. Games need to scale down, not up, and if the next Switch is relative to a PS4 that puts it in the sweet spot.
Please stop calling it “ Switch 2”. It’s “ Switch Big” or “Switch XL”
