Another day, another leak
In ritmul asta ajungem sa-l cumparam din magazin inainte ca Nintendo sa-l prezinte oficial .

Dacă reușesc să-l lanseze la 400e, o să nenorocească piața. Cu librăria de jocuri Switch și ceva jocuri de la alți dezvoltatori, rulând la 1080p, o să fie sold out un an de zile minim. Ar fi ideal.

Ar scăpa și cu 450e, dar cu mai puțin entuziasm.

La 500e o să aibă probleme în a muta unități în circa 6 luni de la lansare. Switch o să vândă în continuare probabil la 250-300e cu joc inclus. Switch 2 o să fie perceput ca Switch Pro și o să fie situația asemănătoare cu Wii U la vânzări. Dpmdv 500e e no-no. Trebuie plasat în preț ca și generația nouă ce înlocuiește generația veche, nu ca și produs premium. Cel mai simplu ar fi să lanseze un Switch 2 Lite și un Switch 2. Da, o să vândă semnificativ mai puține Switch 2 datorită diferenței de preț de ~100e, dar o să distrugă piața.

Pam - pam: Nintendo Switch 2 Leaked Motherboard Shows Nvidia Tegra T239 SoC and 12GB RAM!

As leaks had already anticipated, the Nintendo Switch 2 uses several SK Hynix H58GEA6AK8B memory chips to add no less than 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM. Thanks to knowing what memory it uses, it will operate at a frequency of 7,500 MT/s (LPDDR5X-7500).

This memory, and the SoC, are surrounded by “thermal shields” that will help dissipate heat more evenly throughout the rest of the console’s chassis. Thus hoping for a reduction in temperatures.

Since we mentioned the SoC, it is expected to be the NVIDIA Tegra T239 based on the Arm architecture. The most important thing is the integrated graphics, with 1,536 CUDA Cores under the Ampere architecture which is not a modern architecture.

The first Ampere GPU launched on the market was the GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB in 2021. So yes, the Nintendo Switch 2 will arrive in 2025 with a 2021 graphics architecture. We assume with some improvements along the way at least use the most advanced versions of NVIDIA DLSS technology.

As we’ve already mentioned, this is not surprising. Rumors have suggested that Nintendo was simply looking to cut costs. It has even been suggested that the SoC will be manufactured by none other than Samsung Foundry.

Nintendo is therefore using not only an already old architecture but also a less advanced manufacturing process in its quest to reduce costs as much as possible.

OK, avem 12GB RAM LPDDR5X-7500 (which is not bad), dar totusi... GPU din 2021? Si iesire maxim 30Hz pt. 4K?

Au aparut poze cu Joy-Con-urile care par sa sugereze ca pot fi folosite ca un mouse: Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Reportedly Revealed in Alleged Image Leak — and Internet Sleuths Are Trying to Work Out What It All Means

[paul]

Producatorul de accesorii Genki a venit la CES cu un printed mockup si pe site au un video render:

Based on the mockup of what we’ll call the Switch 2, Nintendo’s next console appears to be wider than the original, with slightly larger Joy-Con controllers that seem like they’ll be more comfortable to hold.

Compared to a Steam Deck OLED, the Switch 2 mockup still feels noticeably smaller, in part because the Joy-Cons are not as pronounced and ergonomic as the Deck’s grips. But the mockup still feels closer in size to Valve’s handheld than the original Switch.

As previous rumors have indicated, the Switch 2’s Joy-Cons will attach to the console via magnets instead of a sliding rail, Genki co-founder and CEO Eddie Tsai tells The Verge. To detach a Joy-Con from the Switch 2, you press a big button at the top of the back side of each controller, Tsai says, and that button apparently pushes out a pin that nudges against the chassis of the console, disconnecting the magnets.

Tsai also tells The Verge that housed within the mounting channel of the Joy-Cons is an optical sensor, and by using another attachment the new Joy-Cons may offer mouse-like functionality.

Is this the Nintendo Switch 2? - The Verge

Halo: The Masterchief Collection, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Final Fantasy VII Remake / Rebirth si altele ar veni pe Switch 2:

NateTheHate now reports Microsoft's multiplatform strategy will expand to Switch 2, and that the company will be a "very big supporter", releasing two Xbox titles on the platform - Flight Simulator and Halo: The Masterchief Collection - in 2025.

NateTheHate adds Microsoft will additionally be "porting and patching [its] current Switch line-up" for Switch 2, introducing the likes of 4K support, and that he "wouldn't be surprised if Sea of Thieves, maybe Hi-fi Rush, also find their way over." Last year, it was claimed Hi-Fi Rush would skip the current version of Switch in favour of Switch 2, although that was before Microsoft's closure of developer Tango Gameworks and its subsquent purchase by Krafton.

As for other, non-Microsoft Switch 2 releases, NateTheHate says Square Enix is bringing Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth to Nintendo's machine as well as Xbox Series X/S, with Remake reportedly arriving this year and Rebirth in 2026. That's not especially surprising to hear, of course, given Square Enix last year confirmed it was "aggressively pursuing" a new multiplatform strategy amid reports that Rebirth underperformed on PlayStation 5.

Zvonuri ca Switch 2 va fi prezentat joi:

Industry whispers Eurogamer has heard over the past week have coalesced around a reveal this Thursday, 16th January, with a focus on the much-leaked console itself, rather than a deep dive into its software line-up.

Today, these whispers were first mentioned publicly by the Nate the Hate podcast, which previously leaked Microsoft's multiplatform publishing plans. Writing on social media, The Verge's Tom Warren confirmed he also understood Nintendo planned to reveal Switch 2 this week.

Sa dea Domnu', sincer astept sa apara Switch 2 cred ca mai mult decat asteapta Xander noul Xbox Vreau si sper sa ma pot juca Zelda in 60fps .

[IsNotMe]

Mario Kart 9, please ! sau nu-l cumpar!

Cred ca mai repede il joci emulat pe un Steam Deck decat pe Switch 2. Ma indoiesc ca Nintendo are target de 60fps in vreun titlu de al lor.

Potrivit leaks-urilor, pe 16 vom vedea doar hardware event.
Game showcase putin mai tarziu.

Si din ce se speculeaza, au ceva line-up e 1st party (new 3D Mario + Mario Kart) si 3rd party grele (RDR2), pregatite, deci cred ca va merita un day 1 buy.

[Xander RO]

Dupa parerea mea cam asta ar fi un target decent pentru Switch 2, 1080p/60fps. Orice altceva sub performanta asta este big fail!

Cred ca targetul acesta il vor avea, dar in docked mode. In tablet mode, eu nici nu cred ca vor folosi ecran 1080p... ci tot ceva gen 720p sau 800p.

[Xander RO]

Daca nu are OLED 1080p in handheld mode nici macar nu-l cumpar, mi s-ar parea inacceptabil sa vina in 2025 cu orice sub 1080p.
