Daily reminder that Yea Forums thinks a piece of hardware that uses components from two year old phones would "Have ten minute battery life and melt in your hands."
A hardware revision like this would get most if not all first party Nintendo games running at 1080p60, somethin games like Link's Awakening, Yoshi's Crafted World, and Kirby Star Allies desperately need, and it would massively improve the performance of third party ports like Doom or Witcher 3.
The only reason someone wouldn't want it is the same reason people were upset about the existence of the PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X. "I don't want something I can't afford to exist." And that's just sad.

Agreed the switch is shit. I got conned into buying one by Yea Forums.
I just hope pokemon swsh isnt as shit as its turning out to be.
A boost to power that would still be affordable, $599 is not a reasonable price for a system that is primarily portable, wouldn't help Yoshi, or Link since they are UE4 game.
$599
Fucking kek you dumb kids are psychotic.
>$599
Nah.
>no bezel
Vomit inducing Appleshit.
FIVE HUNDRED NINETY-NINE US DOLLARS
Is Link's Awakening confirmed UE4? Also I think the better hardware would still help it
actual phones run out of power after ten minutes if they actually have to run real games though.
Yes, UE4 is a fucking bitch to get running smooth on mobile chipsets especially at 60fps, look at MK11 Switch as a example.
Its a generally bad engine to use if you are making a small scale game like Yoshi or Zelda since they would get the same general performance on a much bigger game using the same engine.
>m-muh overpriced garbage
>m-muh go back to /lgbtp/
>m-muh Appleshit reeeeeeeeeee
>SATANIA SATANIA SATANIA SATANIA SATANIA SATANIA SATANIA SATANIA SATANIA SATANIA SATANIA SATANIA
Obsessed.
I can imagine a more powerful dock only version.
That way you have handheld only/dual/docked only options
Source about Link's Awakening HD? Last I check this uses Nintendiom (Nintendo's in house game engine) as this started off as a 3DS game, it will make no sense to replace the engine as Digital Foundry said nothing about UE4 in Link's Awakening HD.
Current Switch hits one very important milestone- it breaks even with your average 5V 2A chargers and powerbanks. A more powerful Switch will not only devour the battery it has in a blink of an eye, it'll also need an expensive and big USB-PD powerbank to be portable. At that point, may as well get a laptop.
I haven't seen the credits yet but the game has all the usual visual traits of UE4 and the same issues and Yoshi that and we had this awhile back
nintendosoup.com
Unrelated mobile project.
Link's Awakening HD started as a 3DS game called Link's Awakening 3D but was moved over to Switch strictly because of how badly Wario Ware Gold did, the 3DS build was already finished but it was ported to Switch because of it.
Also Yoshi was in 576P in docked mode and 360P in handheld mode, if Link's Awakening HD was UE4 it would of had those resolution instead of 720P in docked mode and 576P in handheld mode.
Brainlet
Reminder. Reddit leak never wrong
dude ue4 scales depending on what you use it for...
also for example you can expect to get double the frame-rate with double as powerful hardware
>overclocked
no idea if this is some past speculation or not but that alone makes this impossible
Going from 16nm to 7nm says otherwise.
Hard to believe all it takes is cellphone parts to outpace the PS4 in library without losing most of your exclusives to PC, huh
haha
>Overall, better performance and better resolution in handheld mode
based, maybe now xenoblade 2 and its dlc won't look like putrid shit anymore
But thats what allows these chips to get overclocked.
>I just hope pokemon swsh isnt as shit as its turning out to be.
Its going to be worse than whatever you expect.
the og switch couldn't even handle the regular clock limit of the x1 so it's reasonable to figure that going with the clock limit of a 16nm x2 is not happening either as they have around the same power consumption, scaling it to 7nm could just maybe allow the regular peak clocks of the 16nm x2
Daily reminder that Nintendo have never been hardcore into the spec side and have consistently dragged behind the competition in such regards. It's not something they care about, to compete with Sony or Microsoft on that side of things. That model is never coming out.
Homebrew says otherwise.
youtube.com
what about n64 and gamecube?
>600 dollars
jesus fucking christ, are we back to the ps3 arrogance days of sony?
A fucking tablet run games better than a Switch.
bye bye thermal envelope and battery life
the og switch gets hot as fuck playing botw even in handheld mode where it's clocked so low
that person wasn't alive when they came out, cut him some slack
>GUYS BETTER TECHNOLOGY COULD BE ACHIEVED TODAY
>Costs twice the ammount of money
WOOOOOOOOOOOOW
should've used the apple a13
Of course it's down clocked when in handheld mode.
>599 bucks
This is a reminder why pricing is so fucking important, this is sony before the crazy day of ps3
youtube.com
it's down clocked when docked too, my point just was that games like botw make the device hot as fuck even when underclocked further than even the docked clocks
I played the gamecube in store as a boy. You're talking about a console generation that has long since passed. Subsequent history doesn't back this up.
We're talking about Switch Pro.
is it going to be bigger or something? if it's the same for factor then you'd expect it to have the same power consumption limits placed on it
Does 7nm mean anything to you?
did you not read anything I wrote? you won't be hitting beyond x2 clocks even if you scale it to 7nm
yeah, it's the size of your penis
LMAO
You will if you replace the older chip set with a newer but still BC one.
BC? that rumor claimed it's based on X2, the og uses the X1
It's most likely updated since then.
BASED
>$599
Oh no no no no
like how? looking at nintendo I'd not expect anything substantial, also if it was something different from what the x2 consists of then I don't understand why they claim it's based on it
>599
Sony should have hired you
>abloo bloo why do you mean people shit on my fanfiction console? I so sad I make new thread :(
Holy fuck, stop being such a bitch.
They overheat and throttle down even faster.
>It's the Switch but now supports my HD meme
Nah. I'll hang onto my $600 and just wait a decade for the emulator to be finally ready.
yeah I remember looking up one of those epicly powerful ipads with 10h battery lives, they had less than 2 hours under full load
these modern smartphone soc's are sure powerful as fuck but they are not designed to run at full load for extended periods of time
Nintendo getting assfucked by Nvidia again
No?
are you switch guys really playing 540p games that re at 20-30fps?
As someone who live with Nintendo console for 20 years. 30fps is enough
Play anything above 60fps really makes me want to puke
yikes
I enjoy Starfox and that's like 5fps.
I don't even get the appeal of it. I was in a Game the other day and was looking at the Switch stuff.
>every game is a sequel in the same franchises
>they all play the same (How different is Switch Mario different from WiiU/Wii/Gamecube/N64 Mario?)
>If its not the same first party Ninentdo title, is an inferior version of a game released years ago on every other platform
>if its not the above, its some 2d pixel art indie game released years ago on every platform under the sun
>official virtual console sucks and is outdone by literally every other Nintendo console. Is only good if I hack it
>graphically inferior to everything else
>"handheld" mode is pointless, since battery is garbage and will only fit in a backpack. Even the OG Gameboy fit in trouser pockets
>continues the Nintendo trend of having a gimmick nobody likes nor uses. The games people consider the "best" on the system don't use it
Really want to like and buy the system, but there's nothing there. Between the 3DS and Vita you have everything worth it covered and with a better library.
Nintendo, release a new or definitive F-Zero and I'll buy your shitty console.
>HD meme
Aka the modern standard. I'm gonna guess that quality control is a meme for you too.
Blame the Wii. We would have 4K Marios and shit if the dildo controller machine didn't sell so much.
Fucking WiiU had more 60 fps titles than PS4.
Stop being retarded. It’s been Nintendo’s design principle from the Game Boy to repurpose existing tech for their own hardware most of the time
Nintendo made the Wii BECAUSE they didn't want to spend $200 million on making a Mario game, not the other way around.
You also jump off of a cliff if someone on 4channel tells you? retard
Sure, if there's good reasons.
like they repurposed the hardware from ehh, nowhere to make the NES, SNES, N64 and Gamecube? Nintendo are just cheap shits now, that's all.
Then do it faggot.
You’re life is worthless so go jump.
Do a backflip faggot.
Legit question; what would something with those specs cost in a console version sans screen or portability?
>$599
>still playing the same Reddit game
The console has other titles, you know.
>m-muh no bezel design
>disgusting curved glass
How about you stop giving ideas these fucks? The phone industry has already been ruined, at least the Switch looks okay.
no
I'd say maybe half and then some. It's similar to what decent tablets/phones were running on a few years back.
Do other titles have 97 good boy points on Metoocritic? Didn't think so, pleb!
I didn't buy a Switch yet because the hardware is an insult.
The moment this "pro" version came out I will pick up one.
I hope for next year.
Both used Inferior storage mediums for their times, that’s why companies like Square jumped ship and took all their franchises to Sony. Had N64 combined it’s raw power with the storage capacity of CDs the Playstation would never had gotten the same market foothold and traction to dominate the industry like it did.
>had N64 used CDs
This. What Nintendies like to forget is that their beloved game company was willing to not only screw over a fledgling tech company (Sony) to try keep their stranglehold, but also all their potential customers by forcing them to overpay for cartridges to "limit piracy".
Make it like 800-1000 bucks and just include the specs from a flagship phone\tablet like the galaxy note. Just make it a bigass note, throw in a pen, edge display, snapdragon, tons of ram, the works.
>If you think about it [other company] is literally evil!
To go along with my point here: nintenties are worse the apple fanboys in that they will pay for anything including fucking cardboard, they might as well get something premium for their money.
at that point nintendo might as well just be a software company and release the games on your chinkshit phone
>expecting any post-gen4 pokemon not to be shit
No shit. Nintendo gets way with it because of muh nostalgia.
except they didn't get away with it, playstation got fucking huge and phillips is irrelevant now
that was one of their worst mistake
>do all that
>still wouldn’t include a browser
Is Nintendo the most autistic game company out there?
There really is no point, Tegra hardware is moving by leaps and bounds, the next gen Orin is more powerful than a Xbox One X, The Switch successor will be more powerful than a PS4, and cost as much if not less than a Switch.
tegra has switched focus to automated driving and the TDP of the xavier is 30W, there's no word for orin but you get the idea
The bad business decision isn't the point. The point is that they've always done shit that is detrimental to the consumer while making them more money. Look at the new LA remake - a blatent rip-off at $60 but all that gets said by journos at the fans is "would be nice if it was cheaper, 9/10". They're never held accountable for being scummy.
Didn't? Idk, too many millenials are so proud of their cartridge collections and calling N64/GC/WiiU "underrated" because Nintendo shit didn't get 1st place for being Nintendo.
But Nintendo is still far bigger than Playstation. From when Sony entered the market Nintendo has made like five times more profit.
>30w for 1.4 tflops
That's actually pathetic, nevermind, Orin probably has retardedly high power draw, I guess we'd be lucky if the Switch successor ended up being as powerful as the Xbox One, and that's with it's battery life being cut down to around 1.5 to 3 hours.
keep in mind it is optimized for deep learning and not for your gayming tablet
the fuck are you even talking about
the post was about how they paid for what they did vs sony, and they did pay for it
compare the market share they control back at the nes/snes/gameboy day to when sony enter the market
why do you think they have to go to the route of "we are not direct compete against sony or MS" because they simply cant
>$600 to play ports with 2 gen old graphics
you are high if you think nintendo is this dumb. they might be selling you cardboard but that doesnt make them dumb, it makes you dumb. this would not sell one unit.
>599 for a switch with le gwaphix
I hope they have some kind of Switch centric chip in the works, but considering how off the shelf everything is these days.
nintendo seems too cheap but it's possible considering sony and microsoft do heavily custom chips for their consoles, one issue is getting significantly pro performance out of a switch pro though, without killing battery life
Nintendo are definitely too cheap for that.
Threadly reminder that phones don't actually run at those speeds all the time, or they'd ruin their SOC and burn your hands while running out of battery within ten minutes.
Sony was absolutely NOT a "fledgling" tech company. Ever heard of the Walkman? Floppy discs? CDs??
No, Sony wanted 50% ownership of Nintendo IPs to continue working on the system that would use THEIR discs. This was a massive electronics company trying to muscle into the market by essentially partially taking over Nintendo. I'm not saying the N64 was better for it (because it clearly wasn't), but Nintendo's currently independence only exists because they told Sony to go fuck themselves.
Nintendo has always been the smallest of the major players because they are solely a video game company.
>sony in the 90s of all decades
>a fledgling tech company
