Maybe this time it’ll ship with an Ethernet port and joycons that last more than 6mo!
Jokes aside, very curious what changes they’ll make. Incredibly unlikely they are going to target 4K but hopefully we will see a stable 1080p @60 across the board.

For real on the joycons. I think I’m on my fourth set?
Seems like a great reason for them not to fix it
Yeah, it's all working as intended
True, ha ha!
ship with an Ethernet port
I have to ask... why? The only device I've connected to hardwired Ethernet is a desktop PC in the same room as my router. I've not used ethernet for any portable device for eons. Why would you need it?
For a TV console? For better download speeds and more consistent connection for online gaming
WiFi works okay but it can't have cost that much to put an Ethernet port into the switch dock
Because they’ve been standard for literally decades and Nintendo has released/probably will continue to release games that depend on streaming, such as Kingdom Hearts, which is unplayable over wifi.
Also more reliable MP/faster speeds.
Smash players are real serious about their latency
OLED Switch comes with a dock with a built-in Ethernet port
Yes which they bragged about lol
Most people who have a switch do not have an OLED switch. I do hope they carry over the ethernet port for the next iteration. They’ve added and removed it before!
Yeah, I also hope every Switch 2 will be OLED, but... well, we'll see 😁
4K is possible now with DLSS 3.5 and FRS3 tech. Although upscaled it would give a good quality image or at least a big FPS bump.
I just don’t see Nintendo making the jump tbh. They always lag behind resolution and FPS by a pretty large margin. Maybe we’ll see 1440p on TV’s and 1080p handhelds, but I’m also throwing darts at the board here lol
The games shouldn’t be designed with upscalers to be used to hit desired performance. We’re already seeing it with UE5 (Remnant 2) where performance without upscaling is abysmal.
If they go this route, the hardware will age incredibly quick. It’s not sustainable, especially since DLSS is tied to hardware. It would be better if FSR were implemented since it can run on anything, but the main point is that games should not require upscale tech to hit minimum performance. That leaves zero room for improvement over the life of the product and gives the user less reasons to adopt it.
My opinion though. I thought Nintendo handled the switch great for what it was. I have high hopes for the switch 2 regardless.
Does the NVIDIA Tegra line support DLSS? I guess it could be based on the "Orin" line of ARM CPUs, but I can't find anything suggesting they can do DLSS.
Back compatibility is still key for me. If they support this at a minimum, I will buy whatever HW they decide to make.
Fuck yeah, I have dropped some serious bucks on their games (mostly on deals, ngl) so I want to keep playing them on newer hardware.
looks at their stock
...+$500
Now we wait.
I'm sorry, did they say Super Mario Kart 8 deluxe? I thought the game was just called Mario Kart 8 deluxe? Or is it getting even more content. Because that would be fucking dope
Super Mario kart 8 : Double Deluxe Dash Edition
& Knuckles?
