Switch 2 is on 5nm after all Nintendo Switch 2 PCB Leak Reveals an NVIDIA Tegra T239 Chip Optically Shrunk to 5nm | TechPowerUp
also they’re apparently going to support like SATA SSD speeds with their new semi proprietary microSD cards which is cool
all indications that this will be as technically advanced as it needs to be to run like Elden Ring which is v good for them
it really is lucky that they were stuck with nvidia for backwards compatibility because they would never have paid for DLSS support otherwise and this is gonna be a legit decent chip compared to what’s in the Steam Deck etc
I am still expecting $400 but the accessories all cost a fortune to get the margins up Apple style
it literally doesn’t matter what they shove in there so long as it’s newer
all they have to do is ship Mario Kart 9 on launch and they’re in
MK8DX has sold more copies than Nintendo sold SNES consoles
I’m gonna be so annoyed when they go back to IPS screens after getting used to the gorgeous beauty of the OLED
But how well will Mario Kart 9 run on the steam deck?
yeah I just don’t want this thing to be hamstrung out of the gate if I have to spend money on it so I’m glad
Going all in and betting my 401k on some high-powered sicko deep on the inside forcing Mario Kart 9 to be their cross-generational Switch 1 + 2 launch title.
The Switch 2 will launch with Urban Champion 2, but it’s gonna look so good…you’ll wince in real life, thinking that potted plant that hit you was real…
Urban Champion 2: Urban Champignon
Urban Champion 3: Suburban Champion
Urban Champion 4: Mark Urban
expecting the first game trailer for the switch 2 to show mario and luigi racing in their antigravity karts before the track starts runbling, and then they’re both comically decapitated by 30 f-zero machines. the severed heads of the mario bros will then watch the race from the bleachers, crying their eyes out, before baby mario/luigi bop them to make them shut up
no i’m not delusional why do you ask?
Can’t even joke about Mariocello Kartrolanni’s 8 1/2 because they already did that.
my work “office supplies” budget rolled over yesterday and I successfully expensed 96GB of memory and an NVMe5 SSD so my beautiful A-10 Warthog and I are gonna get a workout
I better do one ridiculous LLM thing with this hardware in the next few months to justify it
were you sitting down when we found out it was Ampere
it was never gonna be Ada… “Ampere + some backported features + a die shrink” is absolutely best case scenario
Super Mario Aeneid is going to be lit
a bold choice
That at least comes close to what I wish people would create, games that look and sound like this:
have you played The Labyrinth of Time?
