Every Switch 2 Rumor I Missed Over Christmas

[@blakeintechnicolor]

Just here to say that my neighborhood was without power for a whole day (LA Wildfires) and a few hours in I was thinking "man, I would love to be able to watch Arlo cover some Switch 2 rumors right about now". Power's back and this is exactly what I needed; putting your videos on while I do work always soothes me. Thank you!!

Battery life is something even casual consumers will get hung up on so I would be very surprised if Nintendo went backwards with the Switch 2's

[@Honigball]

Honestly, I personally would be ok with 2 hours of battery life. Im rarely far away from a powersource for long enough.

[@justinleonard2304]

Maybe it’s bc I don’t use handheld mode super frequently, but whenever I do I’m always impressed with the battery life. It might also be bc I’m rarely play for 2+ hours at a time

[@oscardavies9589]

@@justinleonard2304 What Switch model do you have out of interest? I have a 2017 one with the original battery and combine that with 7 years of use, a couple of hours will take a massive chunk out of it so I'll take anything more than 2.5 hours haha!

To quote Nathaniel’s post: Can we just move onto Switch 3 rumors already? Switch 2 is such old news amirite 😂

[@LurkingWeb]

I disilke that people won't just be content with Switch 2 once released, they'll be talking nonstop about what a Switch 2 Pro could look like, at least the first Switch didn't have a Pro version, so there will be less speculation.

[@lukethephantomthief]

@@LurkingWeb that’s just kind of how console speculation works unfortunately like as soon as the PS5 dropped there were already people asking about when the Pro is gonna happen People just always want the next thing… and I hope they’re happy with the PS5 Pro they got

[@LurkingWeb]

@@lukethephantomthief I do understand some people want the latest and greatest, I bought my Switch day one but I never replaced it with another model and it's still doing great nearly 8 years later, the PS5 Pro shouldn't exist tbh, the PS4 Pro should have been a one-off.

[@StarWolf5298]

If the mouse-con rumor isn't true, I'm going to be forever cranky at whomever first put that idea out there because it sounds so damn good.

[@jeffboy4231]

It sounds pretty good for stuff like Mario maker. But idk why people talking about first person shooters like fortnite or smth

[@friendbreakfast]

keyboard and mouse (or in this case i guess joycon and mouse-con) is widely understood as the best way to play first-person shooters for the increased accuracy and maneuvaribility of pointing with a mouse rather than analog sticks.

[@sinom]

12:50 no. The console itself is pretty much guaranteed not to be AI. It might still be fake but not AI generated. Originally when this was shown to a moderator of the subreddit it was the exact same picture but with a different background. The poster thought the background could identify them so instead they replaced the background with an AI generated one while still keeping the device the real one (just through a simple photoshop copy paste)

Then they all use each other's videos as confirmation, like an incestuous rumor snowball working each other into a frenzy. 😂

[@tepigninja7198]

Yup! Its crazy! I havent even clicked on any of those videos and yet KZbin continues to recommend them! Like yeah, id love if they were true, but thats just it, theyre all unconfirmed rumors. Im not believing anything until Nintendo themselves reveal it.

[@theshadowdirector]

Another thing to remember with DLSS is that it doesn't just save space in terms of data, it takes a lot of strain off the processor when it comes to rendering.

[@Honigball]

no? The CPU stress wont really change, as its more fps dependent (if DlSS makes it possible for the GPU to render at a higher framerate, it will stress the CPU even more). What changes is, how much the GPU has to work for a given Resolution, which makes it so, that you can have higher visual fidelity, a higher resolution or (if the CPU can also handle it) a higher framerate or, most likely, a compromise between these three metrics.

[@theshadowdirector]

[@PlayMilesPlay]

I’ve been predicting March 31 just to keep my hopes down, but I did decide 2 days ago to move my expectations to March 10 because why announce it so soon after Mario Day.

[@Socioromanticism]

Welcome back to the office, Arlo. Coffee maker is over there.

[@Dunsparce1265]

I say this in just about every video, but the gyro sensors in the joycons and pro controller are fine. It's bad autocalibration software that causes most of the drifting. If you connect your joycon to your pc and use it through steam, the insane drift instantly vanishes. the gyros could be better, but they're not bad.

[@ask343]

The PS4 Pro didn't release recently, what bruh 😭😭 came out like 8 years ago

[@neonswift]

Unless I misunderstood Digital Foundry said it wasn't a 4k upscaler. They said it would go from approx. 512 up to 1080, They said it doesn't need to be 4k on a tv, it just needs to be good enough.

[@cyrus8886]

Yes heavy games are gonna be hard but a lot of simpler indie games can probably hit 4k on docked mode since it's not native 4k just upscaled

[@neonswift]

@@cyrus8886 What I was saying is digital foundry seem to be saying that the upscaler wasn't even designed to produce 4k. I was asking if I was wrong with someone who was more informed, but I'm not sure if you are. Let me know if thats the case. Producing 4k from something as low as 512 (I dont know where I got that number from, maybe something more like 640 or 720) just isn't good. Upscaling to 4k often needs pretty good starting resolutions to be worth it. Upscaling to only 1080p would be perfectly fine with most games. And on handheld mode its definitely not needed. Any power for 4k would be better suited to powerup those graphics and frame rates on the console. And less high the resolution, the less battery power is likely to be used up. I'm not sure "give us 4k" is something I have ever wanted from this device or any handheld. There is a different though with what is possible and what is needed. For example I don't think better resolution for Tears of the Kingdom is even needed, but upping that frame rate would be the main thing they should do. Most Nintendo games don't really need 4k anyway because of how they artistically design their games. And from the look of Unreal Engine resolution is the last thing they should be prioritizing as a lot (but not all) UE5 games lack a good frame rate.

@@80sForever29The bigger problem was the fact that Game Freak didn’t have experience in HD development that alone is why the Switch era Pokemon games didn’t look as good as they should have. Hopefully Nintendo can get them a support studio to help them during the Switch 2 era.

Switch 2 is probably the most leaked console ever. Maybe Nintendo should’ve revealed it in October so then we wouldn’t be having all these leak issues

[@DANCERcow]

I guarantee you, if these leaks throughout the last year are in fact real(quite a bit of it is doubtful) including the replicas and mock ups shown at CES. If real are all based on and off of early prototype designs from early specs and dimensions! At best these are all older designs and Nintendo is doing nothing because they are strayed from the official design, and at worst these are all one elaborate fake leaks and ruse

[@Cheesehead302]

The nexthandheld guy with the AI backgrounds has essentially been proven true by the future leaks. They claimed a lot of stuff, including a reference to the joy cons having something to do with lasers even referencing the Lenovo Go as "LeGo." Additionally, they called the weird color scheme of blue and orange. So it was really jank trying to figure out the validity of the image, but yeah, it seems what happened is he AI generated the backgrounds to mask the location and protect his identity, but the hardware was actually legit. As far as I know, nobody before this guy made any kind of reference to an optical sensor, or that color scheme. It's also worth mentioning that he claaimed to know of a game with a 9 in the title getting a special edition system, obviously nodding to Mario Kart. Edit: Also, LOL at Arlo talking about that Smellovision video.

7:33 it could also meen (as with the original switch) they severly underclock the processor to provide less performance trading off for longer battery life which im really on the fence about.
