Nintendo Switch Successor Rumored To Have Been Shown To Press/Devs At Gamescom
Nintendo Switch Successor Rumored To Have Been Shown To Press/Devs At Gamescom - TwistedVoxel
Just don't name it the "Switch-U"
Hey look, an accessory to extend the capabilities of my switch!
"Nintendo Super Switch-U2 & Knuckles", comes with the new U2 album pre-loaded and a game starring the Edge.
Featuring Dante form the devil may cry series
Switch Up
Switcharoo
The joy cons will be replaced with JoyPads that will feature a screen that can be used to interact with games. It can also kinda play games by themselves but you have to be near the main Switch-U system. Nintendo's flagship game for the system will be 1-2-Switch-U.
It looks fake as fuck
Image is mock up, no official images are released yet
There's no way Nintendo abandons the removable joycons. They're such an important part of the switch experience.
Literally all Nintendo needs to do is release essentially the same hardware format with increased computing power, better screen, and a bit more "robustness" in the hardware (the OG feels plasticy and flexes quite a lot).
They'd sell it probably as much as the original. Because BOTW and TOTK deserve higher graphical output.
Including a mock like this to illustrate an article is really dishonest
Prepare yourself, we’re in for these mockups until Nintendo does an official announcement 🙃 maybe we’ll get lucky and a few talented artists will fool the internet again
Super Nintendo Switch
People keep saying this but this kind of naming convention contributed to the confusion around the Wii U and its poor sales
No, the Wii U's issue is the name is nonsensical. What the fuck does the U mean? It sounds like an add-on or health title.
No one had an issue with identifying the Super Nintendo Entertainment System as a successor to the Nintendo Entertainment System, or the Super Famicom as the successor to the Famicom.
In the top right corner, it says Nintendo Switch Up
Nintendo switch wonder
I'm hoping it's just a switch thst can do 4k at 60fps and the joycons are better.
PS5 can't even consistently give 4k60 on all titles. A tablet with a way lower power draw will not be able to do this for but a bare minimum of titles.
It's not that unrealistic if the dock has a GPU in it. Something they should have done with the og switch.
i think it was a joke
Nintendo games tend to be less demanding. They're built for the platform whereas PS5 is running PC ports generally.
The same can be said for Switch bs steam deck. Steam Deck can't reliably play 1080p60 for every game but the switch can.
I do not want 4k on this tiny screen 😭
The things I'm curious about is if it's gonna have weak hardware like the switch does and will it have a working emulator just as fast as the switch did?
One of my favorite things about the switch is just how in the span of a half decade we have emulators able to play commercial releases fairly well if your PC can handle it. It's just absolutely funny how sintendo wanted to make a portable home console but made something so easy to emulate when compared to any other console of the same generation.
I don't play my switch anymore, I exclusively use Yuzu on my PC.
I can play games like Xenoblade 3 in native 4k 60fps with HDR on my TV using a pro controller. No way am I going back to using the switch docked. Ever.
Edit: also 4k mario kart deluxe with mods. Shrek, Peter Griffin and homer are perfect additions to any race
Showing it to devs/publishers I can understand. Why would they be showing it to press though?
They could be preparing for an announcement. This would give time for the press to do write ups ahead of time. If this is true there must be some kind of NDA/embargo so we won't know anything until after a potential announcement.
If that was the case though, I would have expected them to have announced it already 🤔. Nintendo doesn't strike me as the kind of company to show their hardware to the press long ahead of announcement.
"And won't natively run switch games. Players will have the opportunity to purchase their favorite titles in our new eshop available exclusively on our new console" - Nintendo probably
Source: my ass
Thank you for qualifying your source.
If they do that I'll just stay on the Switch.
I mean Nintendo has been pretty good with backwards compatibility so I'm hopeful they will do that again. That will be the only thing that could push me towards buying a new nintendo console atm. I would sell my switch lite to add to my new switch fund lol
If not, I will just stick to my Steam Deck and PC
