I would not be surprised at all if those emulators could run Switch 2 Roms..... that would really be something else and not right.... but saying that the whole idea of a switch is that it is portable. It should not effect sales for them.

I doubt it. For that you’d need a console unit and a cartridge, both are probably manufactured in different factories and we have no evidence to suggest that any cartridges are in circulation yet.

And then we get millions of real switch 2's in people's hands with MP4, meanwhile Nintendo still hasn't announced. Almost feels like the perfect gag for them to pull off. 2 years into switch 2 and Nintendo is like "what's a switch 2? We never announced that".

Art design > graphical fidelity. Super Mario Bros 3 still looks awesome.

[@Paradoxwhirl]

That's of course true, however you are forgetting that Super Mario Bros 3 had top tier graphics when it came out. The reason it's timeless is because of the pixelart.

[@Lukas-ny2fz]

Oh yes, absolutely. But one thing that people conveniently forget is that some art styles require much more powerful hardware to look good than others. I recently played path of exile 2 and that games absolutely gorgeous with its ancient ruins and desert areas. Its still not top of the line in terms of graphical fidelity but requires pretty decent hardware to run (eden ring would be another game that would fit that category). So while i agree that a good art style is much mor important than pure graphical fidelity, some art styles just require it to look good. Additionally better hardware just makes games run smoother and is easier to develop for, especially if you dont expect to push it to its limits.

You have to remember that the OS will occupy at least 1 maybe 2GB of RAM. So there may only be 10GB of LDDR5X RAM available for games. Now, if the OS is just the same as the current Switch with only minor tweaks, 10 - 11GB of _usable_ RAM should be plenty. HOWEVER, if Nintendo plans to have other things going on with the console, that would also require RAM taking it away from the games. So, it all depends on what background tasks the OS has going on and how memory-hungry they are.

9:00 you can clearly see what appears to be an original Nintendo Switch game poking out of the cartridge slot. If that is I'm fact the case they'll probably do what they did with 3ds games and put a tab off to the side so Switch 2 games will be unable to be inserted into an original switch, but original switch carts shouldn't have a problem being inserted into the Switch 2. This is just me being an armchair detective don't take my opinion as fact, but it looks very likely that is going to be the case.

[@GoldenDragoon]

What you are calling heat shielding is actually nothing to do with heat, it is for eliminating radio frequency interference. Effectively to ensure that no harmful RF emissions are radiated by the chips, or outside RF emissions absorbed by them they put a metal can connected to the ground plane over them.

[@theblowupdollsmusic]

Interesting. Thanks for clarifying.

[@TiredOx7536]

Huh, are there any other precautions consoles make for harmful emissions?

[@GoldenDragoon]

@@TiredOx7536 There are lots of methods electronic manufacturers use to prevent RF interference being emitted or external RF from interfering with a device’s operation. Shielding individual components that are susceptible to emitting or being affected is very common as can be seen on this mainboard, as is encasing the entire mainboard in a metal chassis like most home consoles use. Phones and other smaller devices will often use a conductive metallic coating or thin film on the inside of panels that are not already metallic due to space constraints preventing more extensive shielding.

[@HuyV]

@@TiredOx7536 To be clear here. It's not harmful for your health in general (probably, unless you have a pace maker or something). It's about interference with other electronic equipment in the environment. There are standards and regulations every device has to adhere to, to make sure electronic devices don't don't make each other glitch all the time by sending uncontrolled EM signals all over the place or completely pollute the power grid with transients.

[@caldweab]

I’m so sick of folks who don’t know what they’re talking about thinking DLSS is a magic bullet. If you can just take a low end GPU and use upscaling what is the point of a 4090? That’s not at all how it works. Let’s remember the size of the GPU dictates the amount of tensor cores and RT cores available. Since DLSS runs on the tensor cores, the performance of DLSS is directly proportional to the number of tensor cores available in the GPU. Secondly, there is a computational cost to DLSS. The more powerful the GPU is, the better performance you’ll get from DLSS in terms of frame times and pacing. What DLSS won’t do is take a GPU up an entire class.

[@GalaxyFur]

Realistically, the Switch 2 will be comparable to a PS4 Pro. The 12GB of RAM will also better allow Nvidia's upscaling technology to run in the background. The 12GB, coupled with its very fast RAM, should also alleviate RAM constraints that we see on systems like the Xbox Series S. Nvidia will likely be running a custom version of its upscaling technology on the Switch 2, so it will be better customized for working with a mobile SoC. We may also see a 1280 x 720p (16:9) LCD screen as a cost-cutting measure by Nintendo. (Possibly OLED depending on how price negotiations work with suppliers) 1080p would be nice. But that might be wishful thinking.

[@Jbayz]

everything being said for at least a year has been LCD again and not oled

[@TjaVideos]

It won't be more powerful than Xbox One s. They want it to be affordable, and have good battery life. Maybe the AI will make it a little look like PS4 Pro but just in really simple games like Mario Party.

[@GalaxyFur]

​@@TjaVideos, With its AI, it could, in some situations, outperform the Series S., especially since it would likely have more RAM and faster RAM than the Series S. So, the fact that it would have superior AI, more RAM, and faster RAM than the Series S could offload a lot of unnecessary processing off of the Switch 2 CPU and GPU to make up for a slower SoC. The SoC in Switch 2 wouldn't have to work as hard as the SoC in Series S. The Switch 2 also benefits from the fact that, generally, Nvidia is further along in this tech than the AMD tech used in the Series S. We may see a Switch 2 that performs like a Series S without the RAM limitations developers have faced with Series S.

[@Mrorlgloth]

Though it's a little sad that it's LPDDR5X, not 6, but hey it'll still be much less of a bottleneck than on Switch 1. If production is so ready that we're getting leaked boards left and right, it could mean the console will release in the first half, which would be neat! =D

It's in line with what i'd expect also, considerably more powerful but generally consisting of hardware from like 3-4 years ago, i think it's more than fine depending on how much it costs, LPDDR 5 is very good, considering one of the major bottlenecks of the original switch was the RAM speed, definitely an investment in that is warranted

As someone who has been playing an Xbox One and Series X who recently got a Switch, I am honestly impressed at how well games like Dragon Ball FighterZ and Mortal Kombat 11 look and play on the Switch. Are these versions paired down compared to their PC and console counterparts? Yeah, but it's always been accepted that handhelds sacrifice raw power for the benefit of portability. But let's think about this. The Switch has already proven it can run PS4 or even PS5 level games even at lower resolutions and some cut backs Now, imagine a Switch 2 that at the bare minimum is capable of offering PS4 level performance in a handheld with little doubt that developers will tap into the full potential and do impossible things like they did on the Switch. But here's the other thing to consider. Outside if Nintendo's own games, imagine watching Black Ops 6( which has a PS4 and Xbox One port) running on the Switch 2 with virtually no compromises made. Yeah, a handheld that can play not just Nintendo's newest games but major third party games like Black Ops 6 is going to attract attention and most people buying a Switch 2 won't give a damn that it's less powerful than a PS5.

There's still place for raw power because fully realistic graphics have not be achieved yet but Nintendo does seem to have a different philosophy than just raw power they are probably thinking about the components that make up for a nice and smooth gaming experience and not just the most state of the art graphics, each brand has its own niche I guess.

[@D2Kprime]

We've reached the point of diminishing returns on realism and are now in that uncanny valley state where things look almost 100% real but you can tell that it isn't and it feels uncomfortable. Like AI. This realism looks cool. but it not enhancing gameplay at all. If I want to watch a movie, I'll watch a movie. I don't want to PLAY a movie. Nintendo's problem is they swing the pendulum too far in the opposite direction which is equally unnecessary and damaging as sacrificing everything for bleeding-edge visuals. There is a happy middle-ground that Nintendo needs to find where their games look like they are next-gen, but not so next-gen that it interferes with gameplay. Ratchet and Clank for the PS4 and PS5 is a perfect example of what Nintendo needs to do with Mario, Donkey Kong, Pok'e'mon, Kirby, and hopefully StarFox one day.

Ai upscaling isnt about making games more efficient. There are many ways to do that without it. Most developers see ai upscaling as a means to be lazy during development because the ai will hide it.

The Gameboy Color was backwards compatible and it only had one cartridge slot, the GBA was backwards compatible and it only had one cartridge slot, 3DS was backwards compatible and it only had one cartridge slot, the DS and DS Lite had two cartridge slots but that seemed to only have to do with the fact that the DS cartridges were a decently different size than the GBA cartridges. The Switch 2 Cartridges will probally be close enough to the shape of the original Switch cartridges that they can end up using the same cardtridge slot on the Switch 2.

[@santiagocapellan3245]

Due to the USB-C disposition, if it is in fact real, the final console won't be that thin.

[@InsertGame1]

There is a connector on the board, so I'd say that might be your other slot. That maybe the main board, but I'd guess there are other boards that connect by ribbon cable or something. I'd say we are not seeing the full picture here.

[@robertbarker5802]

12gb of ram does feel like an immediate limitation. Hopefully they are taking developer advice.

[@Mirage475]

They likely did when designing the system. Capcom especially. Switch was super underpowered and got doom and Witcher 3.

[@MysteryScienceGaming]

the BEE-CPU-001 marking is the same code used in the shipping data which would seem to legitimize this leak

[@stephkm3655]

Yes it is the retail product code

[@skeletankmcgraw7343]

It probably only has 1 cartridge slot because Switch 2 games are just using the same flash carts as OG Switch games. I mean...there is really no reason for them to change to a whole new physical media format.

[@GothAtheist]

The internet is Nintendo's ENTIRE userbase, but ok?

[@MrCashoos]

Why are you speculating about the cartridge slot when Nintendo already used one slot solution for retro compatibility on the 3DS that accepts both 3DS and DS games without issue?

[@frozengamer3030]

It's going to be leaked for years to come.

[@garywood97]

They should frankly just make it on par with the Steamdeck, to save developers a lot of time and money (and we'd get a lot more ports automatically).

[@DuskDalmatian]

I don't know why you brought up physical media for Switch 1 games, one of the photos literally has a switch 1 cart in it... 9:12. Also Nintendo has a track record of slightly modifying the cart design. Remember 3DS had a slight notch so it wouldn't insert into an OG DS. Also, they could go the Gameboy Color route and just clearly mark the packaging stating it's only for Switch 2 and use the same media cards they used for the OG switch with just higher capacity.

[@dinguskhan9969]

RGT got his body double working today..

[@Rob-z7k]

I hope china makes a version where every single Switch game is already installed

[@EduFirenze]

Will it run games at a decent framerate or we gonna be like sony and release a pro version to run what we promised before?

[@Izelor]

Nintendo is playing the longest game there is. They are releasing a system with hardware that is 7-8 years old, in order to play games that look like they were released 4-5 years ago. Sure, the graphics won't be on par with PC or PS5 pro, but the difference in most games will be barely noticable because most people won't even notice the details in backgrounds or faces.

[@pstriple16]

Upscaling isn’t going to save Switch 2 games from looking noticeably worse than the other consoles on the market. The current consoles already use upscaling and are struggling with modern games. How is a significantly weaker switch 2 going to compete?

[@byte-bg4ob]

They really think DLSS is some type of magical software that's gonna fix everything. DLSS requires power to properly function. It's only a matter of time until everyone who is tech illiterate is gonna wake up to this reality.

[@HoLeeFuk317]

People buy Nintendo for their games, not system specs. Just buy a PC if you're worried about that.

[@youssef11223344]

Ah yes, Modern Games, like Concord 👍🏻 Nintendo games buy Nintendo Consoles for exclusive Nintendo games like Zelda and Mario, we don't want no 'Modern Games' haha

[@beepeenyc7298]

happy new years rgt

[@Wayofthelao]

I'm sorry but am I wrong for thinking the upscaling isnt really gonna matter that much?

[@christianr.5868]

Dlss is really a game changer for something like the switch that can’t brute force high resolutions. That and it offers built in antialiasing which %99 of Nintendo games lack. Plus dlss can help in handheld mode to get better performance and image quality and still remain efficient.

[@amperesi9576]

that must be an early edition, Nintendo and most companies place their name and a date on the PCB

[@Love-One-Another]

Newer consoles are so minimal in difference than they use to be. It's not like going from the SNES to N64 or even from the Gamecube/Wii to the Wii U or Switch. What will the Switch 2 offer that the Switch is currently not capable of? Slightly higher resolution? Maybe slightly better performance? Why make more trash when the current system works and looks fine already? Plus 4K games take longer to make and take longer to download. 1080p is just fine.

[@Jagm177-w6o]

If you're technically minded the difference between a ps5 and a ps5 pro is still huge, but you have to go into the details.

[@Love-One-Another]

@@Jagm177-w6o Technically yes but did you enjoy the games any more than the previous lower spec games? Probably not.

[@Jagm177-w6o]

@@Love-One-Another Well thinking about just pure joy then I must tell you I still play a lot of retro games.

[@scipio8866]

@@Jagm177-w6othe difference between the OG switch and the Switch 2 will be greater than the PS5 vs PS5 pro. OG Switch hardware was somewhat dated even when it released 7-8 years ago.

[@Love-One-Another]

@@Jagm177-w6o Same. Big Harvest Moon, 1080 and Snowboard Kids fan. Plus I usually wait to upgrade to any console so there's more games to choose from and used games at a lower price.

[@SeanTalksTooMuch]

Ive always thought "attach" was a feature, not a consol name. Want to play switch 1 games, theres an attachment for that. Want a 2nd screen, extended battery life, or enhanced rumble? There can be an attachment for all that with the 2nd usb port. I think switch 1 digital games carry over, but cartridges will be played through a sleak attachment for $59.99+ lol

[@LykaLivao-l5w]

Looks like the Nintendo Switch 2 is going to be a game-changer! 🚀 The leaked specs are exciting, and I can't wait to see how it compares to the original. RGT 85, you always bring the best updates-thanks for the scoop!

[@ragmanx6256]

I've been very optimistic about the prospect of a new switch with DLSS. If it's anywhere as awesome as it is for PC games on lower end systems, it's going to be a total game changer for Nintendo's traditionally weaker hardware and open the door for more demanding stuff to be featured in the new system.

[@TonyKanameKuran]

According to rumors, the Switch 2 will have 3 times the RAM inside the original Switch-- 4GB to 12GB of RAM.

[@andyauthor2007]

I wonder if they're going to fix the input lag from the original Switch?

[@MrHeller55]

Its this simple for those who don't understand. Nvidia is 1.5-2.25x the performance per watt especially at low wattage. If the switch 2 is 45 watts docked like the rumors have said that means it's about 90 watts of the ps5. That means about half the raw power of ps5 and this is before factoring in the far superior Nvidia upscaling tech vs amd upscaling tech. I'm not saying the switch 2 will be as powerful as ps5 but it will be way closer than most people expect and when DF does their comparisons with 3rd party games you'll be needing to see the zoomed parts to see the difference.

[@skins4thewin]

RGT85 be like... "It seems to run on some form of Electricity" 😅

[@_sparrowhawk]

Great video but I don't think we need two different slots when the only difference between these is size of the chip :| DS and Nintendo Advance were totally different - thus had a totally different shape.

[@guillermodelgadovega5421]

I think Nintendo wants to break the record of being the switch the most selling console in history. After that is achieved they will release the new version.
