@@continental_consumer the only usage of storage memory is to download games. 256GB is larger than most cellphone storages now.

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.
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

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.
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 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...
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.
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... This is the most future proof Nintendo console todate and will easily be around for 8+ years.

I hope the leak is legit. I really just want the Switch 2. Bigger screen, PS4 like power, $400 price tag. Its perfect. It doesn't need to be as strong as the PS5. I bet most people can't even tell the difference in a side by side comparison of PS4 and PS5 gameplay. This is the right move, hope its not some wild Nintendo swing, just keep it simple.

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.

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.
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.
@@spacelion4763Must third party games sell well. The one I remember the most is Octopath traveler sold over a million copies in less than a week. In case you don't remember Octopath traveler was an exclusive for quite some time when it first came out.
3rd party games don't get reviewed well but they sell well. Red faction guerilla sells better on the eShop than it's original release. One time i saw it on top 4 selling in its price brwcket
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.
I don't think my TV is able to display 1440p, but I still enjoy playing the few games I have on PS5. One thing I didn't mention which occurs to me now, is that I hope Nintendo include at least a 1TB SSD.
- 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.
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
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
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.
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.
1536 graphic cores (that's 10x the original) about 20% more than the Series S. Processor 8-Core around 3.0-3.3 GHz (bellow Series S/X above One X) 12gb ram (2 more than XSS) LPDDR5X. UFS 3.1 storage.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?"
@@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.
It's (slightly) superior to a Series S when docked and that machine can run Cyberpunk 2077 with good framerate and graphics. It's more than enough. All I want is it being able to run DB Sparking Zero and cut the load screens in games like TOTK.
@@Kirbypher. I mean. I didn't watch this video. I looked up the nvidia Tegra T239 and graphics comparisons. So. If you're going to be rude. You should probably do what you're telling me to do
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
The gpu is upgraded , the ram is a lot more. Definitely worth 400$. Everyone wanted full 1080 p we got it. AI upscaling for 4k tvs? We got it . I don't want a massive upgrade honestly it's literally probably four times that of the original switch. So PS4 power is great. If you want more go pay 700$ for a ps 5 pro.
@@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.☺️
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)
I bet that The Rock looked at those goofy digitized faces of him plastered on those low-poly N64 character models and laughed. It was actually technically impressive at the time but still looked pretty goofy but that is part of its charm. I will buy the book just to support you, Shawn.
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.
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.
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.
The Switch main bottleneck is usually memory bandwidth. Switch 2 will have 4X the memory bandwidth, 3X the RAM, and >20X the storage bandwidth(compared to cart or sd card). Those are the exciting numbers to me in terms of what Nintendo will be able to take advantage of with games like TotK. Remember BotW and TotK were streaming, open-world games pulled off with a "measly" 100MB/s(ballpark for cart/sd with cart being less maybe) of storage transfer.. Not only will Switch 2 almost have enough RAM to fit the whole cart in memory, but it will have 2.xGB/s of storage bandwidth for streaming assets. It's clear based on BotW, TotK, Bowser's Fury, BotW 4K and Matrix demo they gave, and the Zelda team's remarks that they are leaning into games built on streaming open worlds. It's hard to even imagine how much extra their new games will be with the new specs.
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.
Stronger than PS4 before DLSS in handheld mode would be very good, if its true, its just rumors. We still don't know the node or how high the chip is clocked in both modes. I mean Steamdeck runs on like 1,3 teraflops in games, it could do more on paper, but in reality and on battery its like 1,2-1,4tflops i read. Its a bit under PS4 performance and needs more energy than the Switch 2 handheldmode will have available. Everything around PS4 Pro performance before DLSS ion docked mode (with more modern tech) would be nice too, Nintendos games will really shine on that thing. Also it would allow much more multiplattform games, i don't know if i need a new Sony console in the next years, cause Switch 2 will get most japanese games in good enough image quality. I mean even Sonyfans like Falcom or the Yakuza Devs (that hated Nintendo for a long time) make Switchgames now, even exclusives like Trails in the Sky Remake. Or Atlus, there will be nothing specswise that keeps any big JRPG away.
I think the actual point of the Switch 2 is that you will have great games, aswell as retrocompatibilidade. I've been thinking: what if the Switch 2 uses DLSS to enhance Switch 1 games? It would be awesome!
@@meatbasedvegan4859 My personal experience would be to run the original Breath of the Wild using DLSS on Switch 2. Played that on both consoles, and imagine the leap in experience.
The thing I'm most excited about is that Nintendo surely realizes this. They have almost certainly been working on a new 3D Zelda game for years now, and the Mario for even longer.
At the end, as many times said in the channel, all comes down to how enjoyable a game is. The Switch showed that power isn’t all to make a great console, mainly if it is a handheld. Great video really enjoyed it!
PS4 level Switch 2 is perfectly fine. The leap between PS4 and PS5 is not mindblowing. It’s not like the jolt us 80’s kids got from going from NES to SNES. Plus a bunch of games that came out for PS5 also came out for PS4 which shows this. It’s fine.
It's not too weak it's decent...not at the level of PS5 or series X .. docked upscaling 4k with ray tracing 30fps .. handheld.. 1080p 60fps with dlss..
12GB of RAM is the only thing that may become an issue down the road; RAM is important to run games well and even the PS4 Pro has 16GB EDIT: I been corrected
100% correct as usual but one other point is $$$ the big N likes to keep things affordable with those specs, a good price point, and first party exclusives. It'll be another home run
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.

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
if you just focus' on ANY one thing you will not succeed, no wonder iwata failed with the 3ds and wii u
@@joshbeck9761 PS5 has tons of games wtf is this fake narrative, even their exclusives they almost all have a sequel, Horizons, god of war, spiderman.. gaming community is one of the most braindead, filled with fake narratives

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 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.

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 don't buy specs either, that's why my comador 64 and atari 2600 is all I buy .
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...
It’s actually seemingly more powerful than I thought it’d be
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.
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...

If the rumored specs of NS2 are true, the system sounds fantastic.
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.
*its limitations

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
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 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.
RGT Nintendo videos to his PlayStation videos:
“You could not live with your own failure, where did that bring you? Back to me”
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.
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.
The gpu is upgraded , the ram is a lot more. Definitely worth 400$. Everyone wanted full 1080 p we got it. AI upscaling for 4k tvs? We got it .
I don't want a massive upgrade honestly it's literally probably four times that of the original switch. So PS4 power is great.

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)

I bet that The Rock looked at those goofy digitized faces of him plastered on those low-poly N64 character models and laughed. It was actually technically impressive at the time but still looked pretty goofy but that is part of its charm. I will buy the book just to support you, Shawn.
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.
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.
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.

The Switch main bottleneck is usually memory bandwidth. Switch 2 will have 4X the memory bandwidth, 3X the RAM, and >20X the storage bandwidth(compared to cart or sd card). Those are the exciting numbers to me in terms of what Nintendo will be able to take advantage of with games like TotK.
Remember BotW and TotK were streaming, open-world games pulled off with a "measly" 100MB/s(ballpark for cart/sd with cart being less maybe) of storage transfer.. Not only will Switch 2 almost have enough RAM to fit the whole cart in memory, but it will have 2.xGB/s of storage bandwidth for streaming assets.
It's clear based on BotW, TotK, Bowser's Fury, BotW 4K and Matrix demo they gave, and the Zelda team's remarks that they are leaning into games built on streaming open worlds. It's hard to even imagine how much extra their new games will be with the new specs.
But just cause 2 has a 400 sq mile map on an Xbox 360 and looks just fine..
Nintendo gonna reveal Switch 2 only after the Holiday season….. which means, early 2025.
Its about the games. I trust Nintendo to bring good games so unless they do something seriously wrong, I’ll be there.
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
If the Nintendo switch 2 can play at 720 docked 25 to 30 fps solid im all in. Its about games not consoles
The specs are known for almost 2 years and he makes now a video about it 😂😂
uh yeah
I smell a troll!!
Those specs are rumors and leaks so technically the spec's aren't known yet
@@Retrogamershaun
Yes they are, but ts fine, you TH-cam and Twitter users aren't known for being smart, not by a long shot.
"Specs are known"
You don't know what "Rumor" is, do you?
Stronger than PS4 before DLSS in handheld mode would be very good, if its true, its just rumors. We still don't know the node or how high the chip is clocked in both modes. I mean Steamdeck runs on like 1,3 teraflops in games, it could do more on paper, but in reality and on battery its like 1,2-1,4tflops i read. Its a bit under PS4 performance and needs more energy than the Switch 2 handheldmode will have available. Everything around PS4 Pro performance before DLSS ion docked mode (with more modern tech) would be nice too, Nintendos games will really shine on that thing. Also it would allow much more multiplattform games, i don't know if i need a new Sony console in the next years, cause Switch 2 will get most japanese games in good enough image quality. I mean even Sonyfans like Falcom or the Yakuza Devs (that hated Nintendo for a long time) make Switchgames now, even exclusives like Trails in the Sky Remake. Or Atlus, there will be nothing specswise that keeps any big JRPG away.
I've got a OLED which suits me just fine. To buy the 'Switch 2' it would be because of a game I really wanted that would only be on the new console.
I think the actual point of the Switch 2 is that you will have great games, aswell as retrocompatibilidade. I've been thinking: what if the Switch 2 uses DLSS to enhance Switch 1 games? It would be awesome!
this and backwards compatability. some games i want to play handheld would run way better on a swtch 2.
@@meatbasedvegan4859 My personal experience would be to run the original Breath of the Wild using DLSS on Switch 2. Played that on both consoles, and imagine the leap in experience.
Your current switch games would run and look better on it
It's a win win for both sides
The thing I'm most excited about is that Nintendo surely realizes this. They have almost certainly been working on a new 3D Zelda game for years now, and the Mario for even longer.
At the end, as many times said in the channel, all comes down to how enjoyable a game is. The Switch showed that power isn’t all to make a great console, mainly if it is a handheld.
Great video really enjoyed it!
I'm buying it regardless💁♂️
PS4 level Switch 2 is perfectly fine. The leap between PS4 and PS5 is not mindblowing. It’s not like the jolt us 80’s kids got from going from NES to SNES. Plus a bunch of games that came out for PS5 also came out for PS4 which shows this. It’s fine.
Look man, non of these pc handhelds can last for hours, so why expect something more powerful. Nintendo is the master of optimizing a handheld.
With nintendo i really dont care if it compares with the ps5 pro or ps6. All i want is banger nintendo titles
Ps4 with DLSS handheld and PS4 Pro with DLSS docked?.. how is that weak for a rumoured $399 console?
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.
It's not too weak it's decent...not at the level of PS5 or series X .. docked upscaling 4k with ray tracing 30fps .. handheld.. 1080p 60fps with dlss..
Yeah I'm fine with those specs. Mario Kart/Metroid/Smash will look absolutely glorious.
12GB of RAM is the only thing that may become an issue down the road; RAM is important to run games well and even the PS4 Pro has 16GB
EDIT: I been corrected
I just looked it has 8gb ram
@@pawhunter340 I stand corrected!!! and my opinion has changed
What are you smoking? The ps4 pro has only 8GB of ram
@@Fresh-xq3bs Apparently the same as you as lol
12gb is fine it's a console not a PC the PS5 only having 4 extra gbs should tell you it's not that big of a deal
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.
Super Mario Sunshine is one of the best Mario games
Let's be real. If you bought a Switch, which came with a mobile chip, you're buying a Switch 2.
You damn right!
100% correct as usual but one other point is $$$ the big N likes to keep things affordable with those specs, a good price point, and first party exclusives. It'll be another home run
I really want a Nintendo Switch

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.
No one cares about it being weaker than current gen.
Folks just want to play fun games again
I care.
Yet the fanbase will screetch for ports of current gen games and they aren’t coming because it can’t handle it. Just like with the current Switch.
@@LakesideAmusementPro i dont see people screeching for new games ports, just old games ports, like older pokemon games for example.
IDK, I buy plenty of 3rd party games on my Switch and enjoy them. I always prioritize 3rd party games.
