    Heard a lot about how the Wii-U is apparently the Goat system for R.O.M.s. Might have to take mine out of storage & mod it

    DO IT especially if you already have one

    You can play every Nintendo game through Wii U basically including Native GameCube support as they left the tech in from Wii and just changed a "1" to a "0"

    I was downloading hella Wii games and playing them with my friends it was a great time nothing beats free games lol

    also it was dope being able to play on my TV in my room then turn it off and play it in bed like a handheld

    yeah makes sense tbh

    Laptops are way bigger than the switch handheld, so maybe it would be harder to implement all that. We'll see, im just speculating and i could be completely wrong. The only thing im sure about is we'll get better hardware

    Wii u's failure wasnt really because of it being underpowered imo, but yeah nintendo is known for releasing underpowered hardware, at least since the wii. I believe with this revision we'll get botw2 running at 1080p @ 30fps with maybe dlss (if its there and if botw2 supports it) upscaling to 1440p @ 60fps when docked, while most games on handheld would be native 720p @ 30/60 fps, which technically would still be underpowered but good enough for the type of system it is

    this makes the most sense tbh

    im into gaming and i never really knew what exactly a Wii U was till 2 years ago lmfao

    going back and watching the commercials is hilarious because even they didnt know how tf to market it

    swear at some points my fam thought it was just a Wii with a new add-on "don't you got a wii already???"

    it isnt hard to go look at the power of Nvidia's newer chipsets lol put one of these in a Switch with the right CPU, cooling, battery and 128gb flash storage is for sure going to bring Xbox One X levels of performance to the Switch

    the issue i have is joy-cons lol, i dont want ANOTHER s***ty pair so maybe i just wont even touch them on the new upgrade

    I heard this Orin chip is a beast, but knowing Nintendo and their general lack of focus on power has my expectations pretty low. I like their games, but for once just give me a powerful console, with or without the gimmicks. I know y'all are creative with your consoles but I just want the JUICE every once in a while. Give me power!

    the newest macbook air and dell xps 13 from 2 years ago are waaaay more powerful than the OG Switch and they are way thinner too, they just have a bit more surface area

    just wait for the public Orin chip benchmarks

    the new Switch's only selling points are better hardware in every way

    Bad idea no cap

    If you really haven’t played since GBC u have to play the DS and 3DS titles

    Sword and shield have been mostly regarded as meh

    Pokémon been going downhill since it’s DS

    Shield was truly terrible for me. They were clearly just made to sell merch.

    I made it through the entire game without losing a single battle, and it’s not like I was grinding, either. It’s completely mindless.

    A lot of the most recent monsters have terrible design, too. There are really no redeeming qualities.

    I never played Pearl and Diamond, but they’re getting remakes this year, and people seemed to love that gen, so that might be your best bet for a nostalgia trip.

    Diamond and Pearl remakes seem to be everything we all want, perhaps the core series with Gen 9 will be isometric and keep the classic mechanics but in new regions

    and then Pokemon Legends will be the open world A-RPG core series game that people dreamt of for years

    Locked article on bloomberg saying botw2 launching alongside switch pro 2nd half of 2021 with other software
    Also stating switch pro should be as powerful as a ps4pro/xbox one x at best, which isnt bad at all imo.
    Article isnt up yet but should be soon, interesting news all around, dont know if its just speculation but its bloomberg, not your average twitter "insider"

    F***

    If the Switch is close to PS4-PRO or somewhere close to it.... that’s a f***in game changer

    Nintendo hasn’t been in the power / graphics race since GameCube era

    That’s so exciting

    Maybe BOTW2 is the reason Nintendo thinks they’ll sell the same amount of Switches this year as last year

    But I still definitely think a new Switch / BOTW2 is still a 2022 thing

    Man that kind of power would exceed my expectations, so I won't be expecting PS4Pro or X1X levels, even at best. I'd be happy if it has the power of a regular PS4 Slim, but I doubt even that

    I mean the kind of third party ports we get currently on the Switch are Xbox 360 / PS3 era games and some current gen s*** that aren’t too taxing on the Switch

    So the fact the next Switch might at the very least be the power of an Xbox One / PS4 isn’t that much of a stretch IMO

    tell me this wouldn't sell millions at 399 USD:

    brand new 7-inch Switch with the power of an Xbox One is being revealed in 2021 and will be out March 2022 with Zelda BOTW2, Pokemon Legends and Splatoon 3 as the big 3 launch titles

    Facts

    I’m copping day 1 if we get this

  • Mar 18, 2021

    we could also get more third party AAA ports or exclusives that we missed like DBZ Kakarot

    Cyberpunk 2077 Switch port when

    I bet they’ll drop the 3 separately for like $10/$30/$40 each. Mario 64 was $10 on the Wii U store.

    I’ve played all 3 Mario’s before, years ago, back on the N64-GC-Wii. Sunshine was my s***

  • Mar 18, 2021

    now that Mario is gonna die and they arent selling OoT...

    i want Gameboy and N64 apps

    id pay another $10 per month for that and dedicated servers and a party/voice app
