Are people seriously bitching that a handhelds performance doesn’t match current PlayStation or Xbox specs which are ten times it’s size?

If the switch 2 is a handheld, it has so many more physical, power, and heat constraints and I am impressed that it even matches the previous gens consoles.

I‘m legit happy as long as it can do 720p60fps for stuff like TotK in portable without any upsampling and whatnot.

I‘m not playing Nintendo cause of cutting edge graphics but because of cutting edge gameplay and entertainment. Doesn‘t matter how realistic a game looks when Mario Odyssey runs laps around it in terms of the fun it provides.

Just… provide backwards compatability, please. And as a bonus I‘d love a way for „old“ games to get better resolution and fps ideally without patches (cause we know the majority of games would never get patched).

I think I’ll stick with my Steam Deck…

It better be, because I’m tired of having so many games running like molasses on the baseline Switch - it’s literally just an overclocked, slightly improved Ouya in the inside, and it shows

stephenc ,

So stop playing games that are more graphics than gameplay. It is strange when Nintendo actually decides that graphics shouldn’t matter and releases a good, baseline system that has broad appeal with a lot of simpler games then suddenly they get scared that some ELITE GAMERS need ultramegasuperHD graphics and everything goes out the window.

It’s really pathetic. It’s what’s holding back PC gaming, the idea that its “top” games (style over substance trash) need $2000+ computers to run acceptably.

The gaming industry as a whole is on a downward spiral with how it’s headed, I would definitely be much more inclined to buy a much more artistically styled fun game than the new COD 52 NOW WITH REALISTIC GRAPHICS ONLY AT 3TB OF SPACE!!! PRE ORDER AND GET HALF OF THE GAME!!! type of bs were getting to. It really seems that indie is almost the only way to go

sebinspace ,

The Switch is many things that can be criticized. “Ouya in the inside” is not one of them.

sploosh ,

The Switch is, in literal actual factuality, an underclocked Nvidia Shield and if you have an older one you can hack it, then restore the clocks to their spec. ToTK runs really well when the CPU, GPU and RAM run at the Shield’s stock speeds.

sturmblast ,

that’s because Nintendo knows that the games matter more than the hardware

echo64 ,

It’s because Nintendo knows that portables sell massively higher than consoles for them, and that’s the reality of making a portable. Nintendo cares massively about the hardware and put a lot of effort into making something that fits their ambitions and audience.

After seeing the various forms of black magic Nintendo devs have pulled off with what is essentially decade-old tablet hardware… yeah, fine by me.

echoplex21 ,

A simplified Legion Go looks like something we can probably expect the next device to be then. Most people have compared the Rog Ally power with the Z1 extreme as being similar to PS4/X1 .

What they could do is a true “docked” mode where it can connect to a GPU to have it output 4K. Highly doubt as the cost would become exorbitant.

And Nintendo will "once again" outsell hardware that out performs theirs.

Boxtifer ,

Unless it’s the wii-u

moody ,

I feel like a PS4 equivalent handheld is definitely respectable nowadays. That’s about the performance that the Steam Deck puts out.

roofuskit ,
@roofuskit@kbin.social avatar

That's true, but also we rarely use the switch as a portable in our house and my kid could care less. We don't need Mario Kart to be 4k 120 and Breath of the Wild is designed to look great with lower graphics quality. We have a PS5 and a 4k TV with VRR and we switch between the two all the time.

Boxtifer ,

Same here but the switch looks like garbage on the TV. Bayo 3 specifically was very dated looking.

The switch is used by more than kids anyway.

Stovetop ,

The thing I always thought would be in the Switch’s benefit is if the dock itself also contained hardware. On the small handheld screen, the quality looks fine enough at lower resolutions, but then looks pretty bad when blown up on a 4K TV. If the dock had additional expandable hardware to boost performance when docked, that could go a long way to help it keep up.

roofuskit ,
@roofuskit@kbin.social avatar

That's actually kind of how the switch works. But it's not hardware in the dock, it's just the ability to draw more power when plugged in allows it to increase performance.

The Switch 2 is also (likely) a handheld, and the Steam Deck is also similar in performance to the ps4/xbox as well, and only came out a year ago, so I wouldn’t expect anything much more than that (especially since the Switch 2 will probably be smaller and have a bigger battery).

Lucidlethargy ,

Man, I have no interest in a handheld… I just don’t get the appeal there. I have a handheld already, it’s my phone. I want the next nintendo creation to bring me back to wii bowling, and that sort of crazy cool stuff.

Instead, the last console brought us worse controllers that cramp your hands, and lack innovative design.

butter ,

I played Wii bowling on my steam deck. Using Dolphin, a Wii mote connected through Bluetooth, and a USB sensor bar. Then just a dock to put it on the TV and charge it.

Only thing that gave me trouble was the speaker in the Wii mote.

Fucking yikes.

GregoryTheGreat ,

I’ve got a question. Does anyone really care if the specs are x.xxGhz and XGB of RAM? It’ll be +YGhz and YGB of RAM more than the last generation at least.

Mojojojo1993 ,

As long as it can still play the games then no. If it can’t handle new generation games then obviously that’s an issue. Just like devs game up on games for older Gen consoles.

If you have a switch for Zelda and only Nintendo games then you are probably golden. It’s only really an issue for games being ported over. They will require more power for those games. Not graphics but actually to run the beasts.

One thing about Nintendo, they always do their own thing. They’re content to let Sony and Microsoft fight it out over hardware specs, while they just stay in their own lane.

BallShapedMan ,
@BallShapedMan@lemmy.world avatar

If it’s built on Nvidia tech and they take advantage of DLSS 3 it’ll out perform PS5 and XBO in many cases.

simple ,

Frame generation would help but it’s not a silver bullet, and it definitely won’t outperform current gen consoles since it’ll still be a weak tablet in comparison.

AProfessional ,

Frame generation doesn’t help low end hardware.

Anyone who thought the Switch 2 was going to match up to the PS5 or Series was lying to themselves.

009_Sound_System ,

Would it have been too far fetched to think it would have the capacity of the ps4 pro/XBO X?
