    SciresM might have missed something about a Switch Pro or next gen Switch

    I don't have a twitter but I know SciresM is around here so I thought it's ok to post this. Basically, today he posted this But Mike Heskin said the following in June... I think there was indeed another SoC ("Switch Pro") that they cancelled or delayed at the last minute (apparently because...

    Hardware Mariko memory cannot go above 1600MHz?

    I've been talking about the Switch Pro with my friend and he insists the Mariko SoC memory cannot go above 1600Mhz, he says they'd have to make significant changes to the SoC to go above 1600... is this true? I hope this isn't true because that probably means the Switch Pro (or whatever they...

    Hardware is there a portable profile with 1600MHz memory clock?

    As far as I can tell, all the portable profiles have the memory at 1331Mhz. Is this still the case? Have they added a portable profile that has the memory at 1600Mhz? I doubt the battery hit would be significant and it could help some titles have higher and smoother/more stable framerate. It...

    Hardware Do you think Nintendo should allow 1600Mhz RAM in mobile mode?

    Now that we know the Switch is CPU limited or memory bandwidth limited ( https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2019-switch-overclocking-analysis ), do you think Nintendo should allow the 1600Mhz RAM speed for mobile mode? It's not a huge bump over the current 1331MHz but when you're...

    Hardware (speculation) the IGZO display Switch could have 120Hz refresh rate

    Just a thought, even though the IGZO Switch will probably be just like the current Switch display (1280 x 720 at 60Hz), IGZO is so much more efficient that they could use a 120Hz panel at 1280 x 720 and the battery life would be the same, but we'd get all the benefits of 120Hz refresh rate in...

    Hardware Nintendo must boost GPU speed in docked mode on the updated Switch

    Please hear me out: Nintendo seriously needs to enable a higher performance mode (just increased GPU clocks) for docked mode on the updated Switch. Mike Heskin says it looks like they might, here's why I think they really, really need to do this. When BotW first came out, in handheld mode the...

    Hardware input lag is worse when docked vs undocked?

    My brother insists that there's more input lag when playing docked because there's just more stages and processing the signal has to go through. Is this true? And is there a scientific way to test this, like using a gaming monitor that has the lowest possible input lag instead of using a 'real'...

    Hardware the Switch Lite might have G-Sync

    Because the Switch Lite doesn't dock to a TV, AFAIK there is no reason why it cannot have G-Sync, everything it needs is already built in. (There's no way they're using the original big proprietary, power hungry and expensive G-Sync module, they're almost certainly using "Mobile G-Sync", more on...

    Gaming I think Metroid Prime 4 might use the new 1224 MHz CPU clock

    I know the new 1224 MHz profile isn't going to make a massive difference compared to the standard 1020 MHz CPU clock speed but every little bit helps when you're relatively CPU limited like the Switch is, and I'm sure Nintendo wants Metroid Prime 4 to really be a showcase for the system's...

    Gaming how well do you think the upcoming core Pokémon game is going to sell?

    Let's Go sold 10 million in its first 6 weeks. Smash Bros. sold 12 million in its first 3 weeks! (btw, are these numbers physical copies only, or do they include digital sales?). I didn't expect either of these games to do this well. Do you think the core Pokémon game will sell better/faster...

    Hardware One of the reasons the Switch is such a success

    There are many reasons the Switch is such a success but I think this one doesn't get talked about enough: before the Switch, Nintendo was asking you to buy both a home console AND a portable console, and that's just too much money for a lot of people to justify. This situation also created some...

    Hardware NPD Switch sales: could you imagine what the numbers would be if 3rd parties were on Switch?

    NPD just put out their holiday numbers and wow, when you consider all the big 3rd party games aren't available on Switch (excluding Fornite of course), it's really impressive. But imagine what the sales numbers would be like if Read Dead Redemption 2, Call of Duty, etc. were available on it? I...

    Gaming Is there a good reason Nintendo doesn't prioritize 3rd party games?

    For a few reasons, we should give the Switch a pass when it comes to relatively poor 3rd party support (I mean relative to the PS4 and Xbox), but when you look back/overall, it's clear Nintendo doesn't make 3rd party support a high priority. Why though? Imagine if GTA, Red Dead Redemption 2, CoD...

    Hardware Mariko chip speculation

    I do think 'Mariko' is probably a die shrink, but there could be more changes. I've heard that the 4 'little' cores in the X1 are disabled because of a manufacturing or design issue. If true, could they be omitted entirely from Mariko, perhaps to reduce costs? Also, how likely is a bump in GPU...
