Nintendo Switch 2 Having PS4 Power is AMAZING! Here's Why

[@ActualAero]

Seems like a lot of people are disappointed at Switch 2 potentially having PS4 level power when in reality this will be a game changer for Nintendo games. Hope this helps people understand better! What do you think about the Nintendo Switch 2 having PS4 similar performance?

[@clownworld1017]

Yea no durr it’s going to be a “game changer”. Only JUST for Nintendo games, people are upset that the rest of their library going to still be held back by a generation.

[@ActualAero]

@@clownworld1017 Not really lmao. Most new releases still come out on PS4 today and look just as good as the PS5 versions. So it's fine

[@_Sadsack_]

@@ActualAeronot really. Old gen games should be able to run new gen games pretty well but the people making games don’t optimize them for old gen to facilitate buying a new gen console. Console gaming is a mess.

[@ActualAero]

@@_Sadsack_ That's dependent on the developer then it's not the Switch's fault. Just like how the Switch is able to make great looking games now but Pokemon still looks bad from poor optimization on GameFreak's part

[@stellarhyme3]

Nah, PS4 power is weak as hell & not much of an upgrade.

[@Guyverman01]

[@russia4biden221]

No one plays nintendo games for the graphics, and console pigs are just deranged and do everything to cope about their console not being as good as an entry level pc

[@Dairunt1]

I don't get people getting mad at Nintendo for prioritizing affordability over graphical power. They've been lke that for their handhelds since the Game Boy.

[@dinoypeter]

people are so out of reality thinking the power of a ps5 can fit in a small body. even the ps5 has a huge size, what do people expect

[@ActualAero]

The battery life would be like 20 mins if it was PS5 power anyway lmao

[@edwink7802]

We want a small console with ps5 power thats the reality and it will happened in the future so stfu

[@EarnestGamer]

People think linearly... It's very hard to understand parallel ramifications, and progression. The fact that the switch runs as it does, while being portable, is a miracle in its own right.

[@xxneroxxx4996]

Yeah I dunno if the console is like 300 dollars that will be cool, anything more then that and that's when people complain about the lack of power if you don't include Nintendo's exclusive games they're consoles have been lacking since the Wii There are some ps3 and 360 games that look better then switch games I'm just say the switch we have right now compared to a ps4 or Xbox ss is too expensive. The only one worth it is the switch lite and even that is ridiculous because you can't connect it to a tv even tho phones can do it I personally would like the switch we have more if all of them were 100$ cheaper

[@raskolnikov6443]

@@xxneroxxx4996what? It’ll be 399. Steamdeck is less powerful than a PS4 and that was sold at a loss and was still more expensive. Again you people are out of touch with reality.

[@Theduck8grapes]

Maybe it’s just me but shit man ghost of tsushima looked amazing to me . I’d be happy with a switch looking that good even in 2024 and beyond .

[@ivan3457]

It does look amazing, but the characters (even the main guy) are a bit ugly, which is a curious tradeoff.

[@talison461]

Ghost of tsushima is shit!! Graphics arent anything.

[@Theduck8grapes]

@@talison461 bud did you even watch the video? He said the switch 2 could have graphic equal to the ps4. Ghost of tsunami looked amazing on the ps4 so if games on the switch 2 looked anything like it ,then it would be an improvement over the current switch graphics. Graphics ain’t everything but when the switch is generations behind on their basic graphics it’s starts to show. Also stfu Ghost of tsunamis is an amazing game that was even beloved by Japan . Ghost of tsunamis has a good story, game play , and its atmosphere was on point.

[@GiancarloThomazSenoni]

6:12 Nintendo was able to do games such as Pikimin 4, Luigi Mansion 3, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Tears of the Kingdom with a console with a PS3 arquitecture, inagine what they can do with a console with PS4 specs

[@Soulless_vrc]

PS4 power? In a handheld? Honestly blows my mind 😮

[@tjb652]

It's not about the visuals but about the 2x perf from 30 to 60

[@andyd3447]

Nintendo needs to focus on PERFORMANCE and online connectivity. Ps4 graphics are perfectly fine.

[@Mr_Mack88]

I agree the PS4’s graphics are still pretty decent even in 2024, plus Nintendo isn’t one of those companies who make super realistic looking games. I think The most beautiful game I’ve ever seen as far as graphics on the Switch would be Super Mario Odyssey, I know people say ZBOTW is beautiful but I don’t play Zelda games.

[@Squiddon64]

They were even saying ps4 pro to upscale to ps5 that is gnarly, with even raytracing. Supa cool!

[@zillauniverse7208]

I expect the next Xenoblade and Fire Emblem games to graphically look more like Tales Of Arise, Code Vein or Scarlet Nexus

[@ActualAero]

That will be absolutely gorgeous

[@trex7115]

You sound so dumb.

[@theninjararar]

I don't know about fire emblem, I don't think they really have the team to do that

[@bk327]

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 looked better than Tales of Arise. It may not have had the resolution, but to me To me, tales of arise looked very generic. Xenoblade, chronicles 3 Had Way more art style way better environments as well. As well as monsters. Also the animation work totally crushes Tales of arise. XC3 for the win.

[@brentgarlick9605]

Not to mention the Switch two would actually be able to play those games. Heck you would be able to play Elden Ring on the go and the games that the current hardware has to play via cloud could actually play natively. Would be awesome.

[@vectoralphaSec]

People forget the native games we got on the base PS4. God of War 2018, Marvels Spider-Man, The Last of Us part 2, Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted 4, Red Dead Redemption 2, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Ghost of Tsushima, Batman Arkham Knight, Ratchet & Clank, Days Gone, Gran Turismo Sport, DriveClub, Detroit Become Human. ALL those games still look gorgeous today. Imagine Nintendo creating games like that and running on a handheld. Yeah sure PS4 power is over 10 years old but man is it still impressive what can be done on a portable system if the Switch 2 is at that power level.

[@R3prieve]

When you have to balance power against battery life it's kind of impressive, even if the specs are last gen.

[@BrokenSoulConfession]

Besides being able to run PS4 level graphic on a handheld, this means game developers can remaster or rerelease (repurpose?) their PS4 games catalogue onto the Switch 2. That alone will excite developers, as that invite extra revenues for titles they don't need to make from scratch.

[@GameDragon2k]

As long as I can get a Pokemon game that actually runs higher than 15 fps, I'll be happy.

[@PeterSkye]

When it comes to graphics peak, it is not true. As a 3D generalist I can say there is plenty of space to improve besides polygons. Indirect lighting, reflections. When it comes to lighting, ps4 vs ps5 is huge difference, especially with new technologies like UE5 lumen..etc. You simply can't achieve photo-realistic lighting and physics even with ps5 hardware yet. (Path tracing, etc) But sure, if games are stylized it doesn't matter that much. The number of triangles are just one aspect, and not that important at this stage. Good real-time lighting is much bigger challenge now.

[@XenoMassxx]

Your still just proving his point in diminishing returns. We're not talking about lighting or the extra bells and whistles, just the main polygon count which isn't that big of a leap as the older console generations. We're at a point now where the lighting with ray tracing makes up the main difference because graphically a lot of games still look like they can be ran on last gen consoles which is why we're still getting ports of them for last gen.

[@PeterSkye]

@XenoMassxx but the main problem I had with it was the fact he described good graphics with increasing number of triangles, which is very narrow point of view and necessarily not true. Look at Minecraft with Ray tracing for example, ..and you can't make it run on ps4. In this example, lighting is next gen feature here, not triangle density at all. And if you compare videogames which fully ultilizes current gen, let's say fornite, compare it with ps4...like night and day. Of course you can do a lot with precalculated lighting, but not in all cases, especially when environment is more dynamic.

[@ZackSNetwork]

@@XenoMassxxHe’s not proving his point at all what a stupid comment you made. Clearly technology is just pushing towards a different direction in what to improve next. Like NES to SNES and the leap to N64.

[@ZackSNetwork]

@@PeterSkyeThese people are normies and gamers dude. They don’t know a thing about technology at all. They really believe Teraflop numbers and triangles is the only way to scale power or graphics.

[@PeterSkye]

@@ZackSNetwork maybe yes, I partially agree that ps4 graphics is "good enough" for many games... but it's definitely not the peak

[@EarnestGamer]

Its very hard to find this kind of "down to reality" mentality for videos about the so-called Switch 2. Thanks for voicing the less popular, more realistic side, and opinions, of this argument.

[@TheMk37994]

PS4 power with the alleged up scaling this should be a beast.

[@ActualAero]

100%

[@skilarbabcock]

What people also don't seem to think about is that if rumor that docked play is 4 teraflops of power, that's roughly the same as Series S so there's no reason third party couldn't support it as they have to make a series S version anyway. Only that I see holding it back is storage but, come on. The worst case scenario is loading screens and bigger file size

[@QnjtGWonQNqVsbYyzjx4]

Nah, I believe it will be similar to PS4/Xbox one, probably 1.5 tflops portable, 2.5 tflops docked

Very good video. Plue one of the more important things to me is that Switch 2 should be able to offer the same two main gameplay options that PS5/XBOX SERIES X offer which is either fidelity mode playing at a higher resolution with a 30FPS cap or performance mode with a lower resolution in favor of having 60FPS.

[@eduardmc]

Ps4 level graphics on a handheld is alot more than what i thought it was possible for the switch 2

[@Nu_Merick]

[@metroidjones122]

I hope this video gaming semi-singularity leads to 10+ year generations for new consoles. No need to rush out a new system in six years if it’s going to be a minor iteration.

[@sqiuddyplays]

Thats what I was saying, the switch having the power of the ps4 is amazing. Thats means no more 30fps cap, 1080p and more titles.

[@christianr.5868]

The ps4 did have a lot of 30fps games tbh. But Nintendo could do a lot with that power

[@abeltyca]

really like the video! love the part where you break down the triangle graphics👌🏽

[@ActualAero]

Thank you so much!

[@GiancarloThomazSenoni]

8:34 we are reaching a point, with games that nearly real life or already looking like real life, for future console generations, you need to have a very good hawk eyes(in term of details), to notice something that previous console generations could do, so in a way, small details such as better lighting/characters models, not someting huge like the jump to 2D to 3D or SD to HD games

[@chaosdragun1608]

As long as the render distance quality isnt painfully bad im not really upset & im hoping for some backwards compatibility. Yes on the face of it just stating it has decade only graphics sounds bad but the triangle examples was a great way to explain it. The main point to me is essentially its a PS4 version of a Gameboy and thats just crazy cool. Im sure these newer systems come with more upgrades than just graphic quality but i dont think its going to be horrible.

[@Earthling247]

New Nintendo Switch successor is definitely going to be called the “Sweeeeitch” 🤣

[@Conrex137]

Or Nintendo Changement

[@SpinDlsc]

To drive the point home even further.... Many younger people may not have ever owned a PS4 or XB1. Now, with the possibility of many of those games being ported to the Switch 2, it's actually possible that, not only will those players be getting the COMPLETE game with all the DLC included, but if we really do have DLSS, then we may also have versions that are visually BETTER than their PS4 and XB1 counterparts, especially if the rumors about ray-tracing are true (which I'm still somewhat skeptical of). So yeah, a PS4-like version of Elden Ring, but upscaled to 4k with DLSS, and potentially running at 60 FPS with no hit to performance when docked? If all the rumors around the T239 chip, and Necro Filipe's speculations are true, then that may very well become a reality for the Switch 2, and that has me very excited, personally! Of course, I know I need to keep my expectations tempered until Nintendo actually shows us this thing.

[@BrokenSoulConfession]

This! 👍🏻 It's both a win for game developers (no need to make new games) and players who weren't able to get PS4 during its era.

[@GiancarloThomazSenoni]

11:56 just to imagine Mario on Super Mario Odyssey, have around 30.000 polygons and most Switch first party software, have around 20.000 to 40.000 polygons, made me imagine how amazing the next Legend of Zelda, 3D Mario, Luigi Mansion and others could look on Nintendo next console

[@quelquun1849]

Yes , i Hope Pokémon games could look ok tiers now 😅

[@russia4biden221]

Shut up kid, no one gives a shit about polygons. No one plays nintendo games for the graphics.

[@jasonmg99]

ps4 level power is just the base raw power when undocked; the advanced dlss (3.5) should greatly upscale it even further, esp once we dock the system, because i don't believe it will exceed ps4 power when undocked and performance might be a little lower than ps4 in comparison.

[@ActualAero]

Probably yeah

[@jasonmg99]

maybe it can have a dock that is bigger than the system itself and also really powerful so that when the system is docked, perhaps the help and power of the dock can boost it up close to ps5 level specs. it is understanding though that it will be far less powerful when in portable mode though.

[@cerebus5]

According to the Necro Filipe leak it's 1.7-2tf which is exactly the same as the base PS4 when undocked. In reality it will perform a lot better, I think. It's more efficient, has a far better CPU, has DLSS upscaling which should let it run games natively at 720p and upscale to 1080p natively. It's going to be pretty impressive when you see it running.

[@MarloTheNephilim]

I love both my PS5 and my Switch.

[@Justin-d3n]

Sounds good, I don't see much a difference in graphics from last gen to new gen, i guess the gaming industry has reached the graphics peak.

[@creativevisiongaming]

I like Nintendo because they're not worried about super-realistic graphics.

[@noctisarcanus7894]

Well... PS4 power running games at 720p optimized by the Nintendo engineers doing their black magic... that is probably gonna be amazing for a gaming handheld. Bayonetta 3 was freakin fantastic in terms of graphics, it looked more than stunning on my Switch OLED. If they do that black magic with the power of a PS4, I bet is gonna be great

[@ZERARCHIVE2023]

No RTX, 720p...

[@wolfmand9641]

Nintendo has already proven they don't need need to be on par graphically to make a system that supports stunningly gorgeous environments. Gen 2 Hybrid that is powerful but not BADASS is nice for the price point. And access to Nintendo IPs is always a good thing.

[@924yu]

thank you! you said it perfectly and I just wanna see the console already

[@jeremy4ags]

one thing peoplle seem to not understand is its not only about graphics. during the same generation (e.g. ps4 vs ps4 pro), the devices will use the same CPUs, because the CPU workload didnt increase, but they'll have increased GPU power to push the frame rates or resolutions higher, which was the case of the ps4 pro. But a lot of games on the ps4 was actually bounded by the low CPU performance of the PS4, and PS5 was an alleviation to that. It has better single core performance AND more cores to perform CPU tasks, which allows for better physics, higher crowd/enemy density, smarter AI, bigger simulation games, etc. I do agree graphically, games have reached such a high standard that I dont really care about games looking more beautiful anymore. On the PS5 i just turn on performance mode because higher frame rate just feels better.

The image you used to show the differences in graphics from console to console was spot on. Everyone keeps acting like the NS2 having PS4 power is bad when in reality it's hard to justify being much more that that. It's a fact that PS4 never utilized it's true power and neither does PS5. All that extra power doesn't mean anything if you don't have software to actually take advantage of it.

[@thelionszen3352]

what I got form the video is that its going to be about ps4 pro power so the average switch game will look better than the average ps4 game . With maybe Zelda or Metroid Standing next to ps5 games because of the diminishing returns of the increased pixels.

[@paintfatpurple7394]

The graphics are more about the budget and time spent on detail. Plus actually using realistic graphics. Really only Zelda, Xenoblade, Metroid and Bayonetta are going to truly benefit from those style of graphics.

[@jacobfoxfires9647]

Some people really think that this is an issue? If they make it where it can be a bit closer to the PS4 pro, than a lot of games that still hold up even in this current gen of games can still be playable. To give an example, FUCKING ELDEN RING. Game of the year 2 years ago, can still run fine with the base PS4 with some minor tweaks. That's some massive developments in my eyes.

[@healthbeauty7853]

When you enable DLSS or FSR, the internal resolution is lowered and upscaled. This, in theory, increases FPS, but this load is moved to the CPU because the GPU doesn't have to work as hard to pump more pixels, the CPU needs to work harder to render those FPS the GPU asks, the result being more CPU usage.

[@Nobody-sp7ug]

There is no extra load moved to the cpu. The gpu is doing less work and finishing faster, which means the cpu just simply needs to send out instructions for the next frame faster. If the gpu is sped up to the point it exceeds the capability of the cpu to send out frames faster, ie the cpu is no longer wastefully idling waiting for the gpu to finish, you will no longer benefit from dlss/fsr. When this happens the gpu is now idling waiting on the cpu, and its time for frame gen to step in.

[@WinspearUltima]

[@mkhernandez6181]

I have an ROG Ally, it has 8.6 teraflops, steamdeck has 1.6 tflops. I do feel yes we could have a ps5 switch 3 but its expensive, and problem is NVIDA and the partnership as tegra is so underdeveloped against the Zen architecture. Im happy with what we will get but honestly nintendo always tries to be the afordable one so i feel it will be priced 450-500. ADITIONALLY, NVIDIA has the dlss3, its not about running power but the tech to make it beautiful. i feel ps5 and xbso have the issue of making heavy games for the sake of 4k to 8k. The new chip will hopefully have dlss 3 as well as asortment of implementations to save on battery and performance. cant wait to see how it comes

[@ActualAero]

Yup ROG Ally is nice but it's also like $600 I'm pretty sure. So for the $400 sweet spot the Switch 2 should be a good balance and the DLSS tech will be helping it a lot

I’ve been saying that. A lot of the games that came out later in the year on Xbox one and ps4 are already really good graphics. Some games on next gen really aren’t that much better it’s more frame rate performance that is a lot better.

[@TwilightWolf032]

We have now reached a point where graphical fidelity is being advanced via lighting engines, but even with ray tracing it's doubtful that will make much of a difference. Honestly, game developers have got so good at mimicking light, ray tracing is useless in most applications, especially in games where lighting is made to enhance the art style over realism, which makes the game look and play much better than if ray tracing was on. With the diminished return over polygon count and ray tracing being mostly useless, the Switch 2 being on par with the PS4 should be more than enough, especially with DLSS at play.

[@RKIC]

Serious doubt on those specs, even Nvidia's own spec sheets would put the handheld mode above 10w, so either Nintendo spends a lot more on the battery or the device has a 1 hour battery life, I don't think Nintendo can get away with sacrificing that much battery life. Nintendo has a long history of doing a lot more with a lot less, for their own needs something less powerful than a PS4 while docked is more than enough for them, because even at that spec it will still punch well above the PS4 and won't have the same bottlenecks that the PS4 had, namely it's CPU and HDD.

Weve definitely hit the point of diminishing returns i mean were at the point of uncanny valley in many games that go for realistic graphics theres only so much u can do at that point its small upgrades that eat alot of power! Anyone truly been wowed yet this gen? I know i haven't seen anything that i wouldn't believe was running on PS4, with Nintendo specs seem to matter less to me as they use stylised graphics mostly that dont require insane horsepower and their 1st party titles are usually pure fun! When ur running around backflipping and triple jumping on goombas heads in a gorgeous bright vibrant world thats technically amazing with awesome music playing u forget specs and just smile! Well i do 😅 but in regards to specs remember when we hear PS4 type power for Switch 2 remember it will be significantly newer architecture with tools not in PS4, im sure the CPU will be better and have faster storage than HDDs so a PS4 with better CPU and faster storage sounds good to me! Docked the system should have access to more power aswell, just think if u enjoyed Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild etc imagine what Nintendo will be able to do with Switch 2! Dont stress about power to much basically.

So we can finally fantasize about that 7th game in certain series in a handheld device.

[@ActualAero]

Thank you!

This will be peak Nintendo gen. And downhill in the 2030’s cause they’ll just be like everyone else then.

[@westonmeyer3110]

Not really because Nintendo makes way better games. Sony and Microsoft rely on that power to make their mediocre games seem better than what they are, but Nintendo will simply use this power to make their games even bigger and better than they already were.

[@travisscott9057]

The Original Switch was slightly more powerful than the PS3. If the Switch 2 has the performance of a PS4 Pro in dock mode and a PS4 Base model in handheld I am extremely happy with that kind of performance with a hybrid console. Anybody expecting a handheld to be on par with the PS5 at a affordable price was just asking to be disappointed. Can you imagine what the next open world Zelda game is gonna look like on this thing? And at a steady framerate to boot? Yes please! Now if Nintendo would finally announce the console and make enough units at launch so we don't have another situation like the PS5 where all the Switch 2 consoles are being hoarded by scalpers for almost 2 years i'll be really happy.

If this is true imagine the graphics of Xenoblade Chronicles X if both leaks are real. 😮.

[@ActualAero]

It's gonna look so good!

[@Kunigunda897]

XCX was already looked impressive on Wii U I can't imagine how it would look on switch 2 if they would put similar effort as they did with original xenoblade on switch

[@megatronx2651]

🎉the best way to put it is better than Series S performance in docked n ps4 level in handheld

[@matthewrichardson2533]

Even the ROG Ally actually needs to be plugged in to play any triple a titles over an hour.

[@Cookieman245]

I just want a nintendo system that the nintendo games can keep up on

[@zippdoesstuffyt]

didnt nintendo say that the switch 2 wasnt in development?. like multiple times?

[@2toeninja]

Good vid..👍

[@ShinKamaitachi]

A switch that has the power of PS4 sounds like a good thing and not a bad thing in my opinion. I actually wonder if the switch 2 is going to be backwards compatible with switch games.

[@kkbartholomew22]

@ActualAero Do you know if the system will allow old physical cartridges? Also, what do you think about mmo's or online cross play across platforms?

[@MoonMagicks]

Just wait, there's gonna be 25 more Switch 2 "leaks" with totally different specs listed before Nintendo's official reveal.

[@ActualAero]

I'm down, more content to talk about

[@MoonMagicks]

​@@ActualAero Sorry, I came off as a dick. I think these videos are fun.

[@Supernerdyhuman]

Thanks for making a video like this. If this ends up being the spec (ps4/pro) with some ray tracing, that would be awesome to have in a Nintendo handheld.

[@DaLaoWay]

Yeah they said it have same power as Xbox One X & PS4 Pro if not a better. spec should look nice!

[@SuperFowlMouth]

I’ll take PS4-power stylish graphics over PS5-power “muh realism” any day of the week. I’m hyped for the next Nintendo console.

[@XenoMassxx]

Uh.. both PS4 and PS5 is capable of realistic graphics. You should have just said you prefer stylish graphics over realistic ones.

[@SuperFowlMouth]

@@XenoMassxxI probably should have lmao you right

[@Slime26633]

I hope it powerful as a xbox one x

[@Mr.Chimpazee]

No chance my friend
