XCX, seems odd of them to finally drop it right on the edge of the Switch 2 reveal/launch, hopefully it has a little extra for those bringing it to the next system. really any major first party 2025 Switch release should strongly consider Switch 2 enhancements. I think the flat out announcement that S2 will be backwards compatible is a lead up to this.
I would expect Metroid Prime 4 to be massively enhanced over the switch version anyway, if it is cross gen ofc. Retro Studios are known for their graphical prowess and with MP4 being in development for so long it will surely be a game of the year contender.
@@Jayesbenah... Metroid Dread was a GotY contender. If the gameplay mechanics and the game overall is very good and polished, it sure will be a 90+ metacritic and GotY contender. It probably will never win, since next year is GTA6 (if they don't push it to 2026), and you know that the majority of people love GTA for some reason. I personally loved GTA as a kid, but now it's the same boring mission based gang Mafia game all over again and I can't play this anymore 🥲
@@nindieboy4194 Metroid Dread was also my personal GOTY when it released and to this day I'm really happy that it got the recognition it deserved!^^ Hopefully in the near future Retro Studio will develop high quality remasters for Prime 2 & 3 like they had done for Prime 1 on the Nintendo Switch.
I believe we’ve essentially known the Switch 2 would support Mesh Shading since the Nvidia Leak that leaked the chipset, since that chipset supports it. However, having confirmation of Nintendo already experimenting with the tech is huge. Definitely has big implications for Nintendo really using the full feature-set of the chip. Next thing I would like confirmation of is a first party Nintendo game being made with raytracing. I think there’s a good chance we see one within Switch 2’s first year, which would be very exciting!
Backwards compatibility was not confirmed at all. And several devs were very public about it bring unlikely in their opinion/experience. It's rad and it's a big deal
@@RhythmGrizz No backwards compatibility was a fake report pulled out of one these insiders arse. 1) Nintendo did made clear early on that they will stick with nvidia for the switch succesor. 2)switch became a massive success with a highe install base. 3) All of Nintendo handhelds featured backcomp. With these main reasons only fools would believe that bs report. Also Nintendo has being talking about carrying online accounts through gens since they modernized the account system at the end of the wiiu era.
It will be nice if the gpu has mesh shader support. Just want to point out though, mesh shaders are not a magic thing which suddenly makes your game be able to push twice the geometry. It helps in some cases and does not in others (vs legacy). But their adoption is growing lately, so having it is definitely a plus.
My only concern is that I hope Nintendo doesnt tie 4k and shader support for backwards compatibility, behind the NSO subscription. That would be garbage and worse than not being able to buy NSO retro games. Also, I just want high frame rates at sub 4k resolution.
I think Nintendo is just going back to its normal schedule. There were extenuating circumstances with the original Switch that forced Nintendo to announce and release it sooner rather than later. Now that Nintendo is so far ahead in terms of profits, they don't have to rush the new device out. They can just go back to the way they have done it for ever major home console going back to the year 2000. Summer unveiling, Holiday release. The GameCube, Wii, and Wii U all had the same pattern.
So if their plans haven't changed then they never were going to show it in September or October. I said as much when the internet was frothing at the mouth in excitement. I still think they'll announce in January.
… Who are these people you keep mentioning that supposedly are arguing against Switch 2 having 4K? It’s not some bleeding edge expensive technology anymore, PS4 pro will have been out for 9 years when Switch 2 comes out next year. It’d be crazy for Switch 2 to not have it in TV mode, even in a smaller cheaper form factor compared to the size of a PS5 or a PC tower.
Because it’s very, very hard for hardware to render at higher fidelity settings with 4K. An RTX 4090, the most powerful gaming graphics card in the world, can barely pull off 4K 60 fps with ray tracing and maxed out settings without the use of DLSS, depending on the game of course. Upscaling is great, and I’m excited to see what a new Switch can do with DLSS 3, but it’s a very resource hungry process to have a native 4K output at stable 60fps. The PS5 can barely output 4K visuals without either running at 30fps, or foregoing ray tracing. At the end of the day, we will probably see a switch successor that can output 4K for some games, but it’s probably going to be AI upscaled using DLSS, thus won’t be a true native 4K image. I personally don’t notice the difference much between native 4k and DLSS 4k, but plenty of people already complain about ghosting and other issues with DLSS enabled games at 4k. It’s a “hope for the best, expect the worst” sort of thing as far as I’m concerned. I really am dying to see what sort of magic Nintendo will be able to pull off, especially with their own games running on their own hardware, as they often do know their hardware better than anyone and gets some really unbelievable results.
6:11 Horizon Forbidden West runs at 1080p at 30 FPS on base PS4. With the Switch 2 being around PS4 Pro-Series S in docked, as well as having DLSS, I can totally see them just going with 60FPS with a resolution around 1800p, which is still pretty good.
I think we’ll see an update patch for a lot of switch games, but seeing as Nintendo is Nintendo, we’ll probably get a few patches for frame rate enhancements and the like (maybe games that used to struggle to run 30fps will now have a 60 fps unlock instead) but I’d imagine a “Pro mode” type of enhancement will be offered either as DLC up charge (similar to how you can buy a $10 upgrade from PS4 to PS5 GTA5 if you own the game) or we might see “Deluxe” versions of games being sold with 4K textures and whatever. I’m inclined to agree with you about the whole “next gen games running at 4k” thing. DLSS is an amazing piece of technology and I use it quite often on my PC, but it’s not magic and does consume resources, and still isn’t native 4K. I think we’ll see a lot of that AI upscaled tech at play when it comes to most games running at 4K60, especially the more nuanced and complex they get. Adding in any sort of ray tracing will almost guarantee that, in my opinion. I am dying to see what they’re going to be able to pull off with this new hardware though. Nobody knows Nintendo hardware quite like Nintendo, and they’ve pulled off seemingly impossible feats before. One only has to look at a game like Mario Odyssey to see what I’m saying, that game is gorgeous visually for a 2017 game.
I still wouldn't be hugely surprised to see very few exclusives (first party) so that the Switch is very forwards compatible bar AAA titles, with the enhancements promoting the hardware upgrade.
Being able to play Switch 1 games doesn't necessarily mean software backward compatibility, although that is highly possible. It might mean Switch 2 (Super Switch) versions are available to download.
But the Turing supoirted feature is now on a nintendo console. It has officially become part of the secret sauce/nintendo magic universe. Your information & reality is not appreciated, let these guys walk in the clouds peacefully.
I dunno if my eyes are just bad, but I can barely see the difference with DLSS on or off... I'm also always worried about playing games that *are* heavily detailed in graphics, 'cause they give me motion sickness and leaves me laying in the dark for hours at a time to recover after barely playing 20-minutes worth. It's one of the reasons why I love Nintendo, 'cause I haven't experienced that with *that* console, versus stuff like PlayStation 4's Monster Hunter World and Kingdom Hearts 3, or games like Overwatch. Those just *kill me* outright. DX
Nintendo might be able to pull off 4k themselves, but no, 3rd parties will not. They will try but it will not stay consistent 4k. A lot of Nintendo TH-camrs rn clearly do not play on PC and haven’t used dlss before.
To me, I am excited by the power because it means more games. I have mostly been playing on my Steam Deck, because while I am not a frame rate snob there is simply a litany of great games now that are beyond the Switch 1's potential. Hence, if we can get 4k in the cross gen period, we will have a better chance of getting more triple A titles down the line.
If they do 4k it would be nice but I'd be happy enough with a decent frame rate. Resolution could stay at 1080p but having games at 30 fps is already bad, going below that on some games is just atrocious. I'd be happy if they could keep 1080p and their frame rate would be at 60 all around but that'll never happen.
This is why I love your channel. Unlike all the other switch channels I follow you actually get deep into the details. I really hope they are targeting 4K can you imagine in eight years we will still be playing 1080p games on this new switch 😂 and we’d have to wait until the 2030s to get 4K
Unfortunately, I don't forsee Nintendo being like MS & Sony in offering multiple performance options for their games. They just don't seem like a company that wants to give players the option, as they believe that would somehow be "confusing." They've never been one to try & offer gamers more freedom in how their games are played. Nintendo decides how you will enjoy things, and that's that 😅
It does introduce lag even with tensor cores. No AI upscaling or image reconstruction in general its free. Its gets you near the target resolution in terms of apperance at a lower cost than rendering the scene in the native target resolution.
@@christianr.5868 Yes, but the point remains. When nvidia introduced the RTX line & tensor cores theres always extra lag with image reconstruction. It has always beeing the case with DLSS even with the pc parts. Your first message implied that having an ai accelerator with get rid of lag.
Switch 2 will probably not render in 4k, but it should certainly offer 4k upscaling & 4k display output. If it doesn’t, it'll be a huge miss on Nintendo's part. 4k displays have been extremely cheap for years now, and if you play primarily docked, Switch does not look great on those displays. Switch 2 should fix that right up. And with Nintendo's usual art styles, games should look beautiful even if they aren't rendered in 4k!
It will offer the output no doubt but I highly doubt many games at all will actually reach even upscaled 4K. People need to take a look at what dlss is doing right now on pc, because it helps but it isn’t magic.
It will work like any other system that has DLSS support. We're most likely gonna have options to play games at either 4K 30FPS or 1440p 60FPS which will be good enough for me.
Look, let's be realistic here. If you want 4K, get a PS5 or an Xbox series. Even if it comes out that the Switch successor is supportive of 4K, I highly doubt it'll be both native and actually UTILIZED.
I'm so tired of hearing about "Metroid Prime 4 being cross gen." It wont be. Metroid is not in the same boat as Zelda in terms of sales numbers and budget. It's a niche franchise and will sell maybe 5 million units. Which is fine. There is nothing pointing towards the TP/BOTW situation from before. With backwards compatibility it will play Prime 4 from the Switch 1. Honestly I suspect putting a Switch 1 game into a Switch 2 will only improve load times and maybe draw distance and pop in being improved. TP/BOTW ran 99% the same on both systems they were on lol.
It would be stupid if it wasn't cross-gen. I believe that prime 4 will be the big 2025 holiday games, They're going to go hard with the marketing with this game
@@The100PercentRealWaluigi Sony has literally proven with the PS5 cross gen is STUPID and hurts you. It makes the new system unnecessary. People will go the cheaper route and buy the game for the system they already own instead of paying for a whole new system for a slightly better version.
@@ItApproachesI dont think you like improved versions of games, Also have you seen switch 1 specs? Obviously the switch 2 wolt be Ps5 like, but Retro studios knows how to use the power of a console, it will look at least twice as good on switch 2. I wouldn't even be surprised if it looked 3 times better
@@ItApproachesAnd if they made a switch 1 version exclusively, that would hurt them even more!! Because people would be like "Uhgg its a switch one game, it wolt look that good on my switch 2". Cross gen for this game will help it
@@The100PercentRealWaluigi Where did I say Switch 2 would be like PS5 spec wise??? My goodness low IQ sheep....everywhere I look. And people wonder why higher intelligent humans have higher depression and unaliving rates... I know Retro very well, you are ignoring the fact that time doesn't add up. They didn't have enough time to LEARN the entire Switch for Prime 4, then make Prime 4 for Switch AND learn an entire new system (Switch 2) and make another version of that game for it. They would need another 2 years for that to have been possible. Retro isn't a massive team. The numbers aren't there. Retro put's their all into a SINGLE FOCUS. They don't divide themselves up into two directions.
Hearing 4K and "better polygons" pains me...I don't want that. That's anti progress, that's anti fun, that's just chasing tech and all games blend together. I genuinely would be happy to go back to N64 polygon looks running at 60fps. I'd rather pay $60 per game for N64 style games then $90 for "realistic" games.
Why would it pain you!? This is literally progress. I swear some Nintendo fans want Nintendo to become irrelevant. Do you want Switch 2 to fastly become outdated against the PS5 and XBOX SERIES X let alone when PS6 and the next XBOX come out??? 4K and better polygons is what all modern consoles have so why look at that as a negative!? It's not like it means Nintendo is now gonna try and make all their games realistic. It just means it's better to have your system support those features to attract more 3rd parties to port games to it and not have to sacrifice a huge graphical downgrade like big 3rd party games do on the regular Switch.
@@XenoMassxx Not physical pain. Just a mental pain, like when your favorite show that went on for years comes to an end. Outdated? Power doesn't matter. Nintendo's games keep them going, Nintendo does NOT compete with the other companies, they have said many times over, they don't care about the other two. Xbox has made itself utterly useless. Sony has fallen off a cliff with the PS5. Nintendo with it's "weaker" system once more thrive. It's about the GAMES not the specs under the hood. Why look at that as a negative? Why look at setting yourself on fire as a negative? CAUSE IT IS A NEGATIVE. If you don't want to accept reality that's a YOU problem. Nobody buys a Nintendo system for 3rd party games, you buy an Xbox/PS or PC for them. 3rd party games are almost all hollow trash. They are the cherry on top of the cake, not the cake itself.

They would need another 2 years for that to have been possible. Retro isn't a massive team. The numbers aren't there. Retro put's their all into a SINGLE FOCUS. They don't divide themselves up into two directions.
Hearing 4K and "better polygons" pains me...I don't want that. That's anti progress, that's anti fun, that's just chasing tech and all games blend together. I genuinely would be happy to go back to N64 polygon looks running at 60fps. I'd rather pay $60 per game for N64 style games then $90 for "realistic" games.
Neither of those are bad per se, the problem is that other companies tunnel vision on it, leading to blander games and longer development cycles.
@@Crafty_boy70 As usual, the problem is always from the human element lol.
Why would it pain you!? This is literally progress. I swear some Nintendo fans want Nintendo to become irrelevant.
Do you want Switch 2 to fastly become outdated against the PS5 and XBOX SERIES X let alone when PS6 and the next XBOX come out??? 4K and better polygons is what all modern consoles have so why look at that as a negative!?
It's not like it means Nintendo is now gonna try and make all their games realistic. It just means it's better to have your system support those features to attract more 3rd parties to port games to it and not have to sacrifice a huge graphical downgrade like big 3rd party games do on the regular Switch.
@@XenoMassxx Not physical pain. Just a mental pain, like when your favorite show that went on for years comes to an end.
Outdated? Power doesn't matter. Nintendo's games keep them going, Nintendo does NOT compete with the other companies, they have said many times over, they don't care about the other two. Xbox has made itself utterly useless. Sony has fallen off a cliff with the PS5. Nintendo with it's "weaker" system once more thrive. It's about the GAMES not the specs under the hood. Why look at that as a negative? Why look at setting yourself on fire as a negative? CAUSE IT IS A NEGATIVE. If you don't want to accept reality that's a YOU problem.
Nobody buys a Nintendo system for 3rd party games, you buy an Xbox/PS or PC for them. 3rd party games are almost all hollow trash. They are the cherry on top of the cake, not the cake itself.
Bro your an idiot. More power is alway better as long as the games are still as amazing as ever. No downside what so ever
