Its really the only reason it even works. Otherwise yea its really old tech. Anything other than Nintendo IP is going to be terrible
All that happens when a new system comes out is developers push that system's performance and voila, you still have occasional frame rate drops etc.
IT's always happened. It happens on every new system. It will continue to happen.
There's always tradeoffs in game design. Super Mario Sunshine had frame rate drops on the roller coaster level. Obviously they decided it was better to leave it in despite the issue. Nintendo Switch being a lot more powerful didn't prevent tradeoffs in game design. It didn't stop developers from pushing the limits.
Also the complete joke is saying even the most polished Nintendo games often can't break 30 fps.
When people get a new system it won't be to play all the games they just played as a rule of thumb. It will be to play new games.
I never get this crying about making the Switch more powerful or any system more powerful so one can play the great games again that got great reviews on the old system. It's a nice fantasy but reality is who has the time to spend doing that. The reality is the games were great. They looked nice. Ran great. And most of all played great. Sold great. On the old system. At least as far as Nintendo 1st party games go.
IT's just odd and not realistic more of a fantasy to want to do the same thing all again 6 years later with slightly better tech. If you had a Time Machine it wouldn't be nonsense. But I don't think you do.
I expect maybe a 4X more powerful chip then the current switch and 8-10gb of ram and 128gb internal memory(64gb also a good chance, I wouldn't put it past Nintendo to be cheap). The screen will most likely be OLED and 720P I would be actually quite shocked if it's better than 720p. And if it is better 900P not 1080p. I wouldn't even put a past Nintendo to have the same seven inch 720p oled screen as the current switch OLED. Maybe they will even do 7.2 inch and even worse ppi lol. I have been thinking that it would be more costly to add this feature but it would be very cool Nintendo type gimmick and that would be some type of wirelessly playing the switch on the TV while undocked. That would bring more gameplay possibilities with using the switch. Almost like the Wii U. Now granted that would cost more to have that built into the dock connected to everybody's TV. But this thing's going to cost more than the regular switch guaranteed.
$399 Oct/Nov 2024 I expect for the Switch 2. Nintendo I doubt will go $499. That's just too pricey for Nintendo. No chance in heck it's $299 or even $349.
I also think Nintendo might include a game with the Switch 2 like the Wii and Wii U. Something that shows off it's new gimmick and features. I know the switch did not come with a game at launch but Nintendo was in a very poor spot. Wii U sold like trash and they were kind of going back to their roots. You play it either undocked like a game boy or play a docked like a GameCube and that was it. So I don't think they needed a game to show off the Switch. The gimmick worked for everyone by just docking it and undocking it. So my guess is the Switch 2 will have a new type of gimmick (possibly wireless docking capability) Mario Kart 9 could be played by 5 people 4 on TV and 1 on the Dock. It will include some type of game to show this off and get people use to it and then sell Mario Kart 9 for $69.99 with the feature.
I also believe Metroid Prime 4 will be a launch game for the Switch 2. It will also same day come to the regular Switch. It will be a good game to show off the new DLSS 4K trickery. It will look nice and shiny and have better textures.
Gimmick will be trojan horse VR if they can put a higher res screen on it. Doesn't mean the handheld games run at the higher res. They will just upscale those in some fashion from the 720p.
That's my gimmick guess. Still might be too early for them to be able to do that at a Nintendo price point. But there's always Switch 3 or a mid cycle update that adds a higher res screen that VR would require.
They did a proof of concept with Labo VR. It was interesting. The 720p was too much of an eye sore tho to want to play it for very long. Maybe as low as 1080p would be good enough.

I still think it's going to be a wireless docking capability as the gimmick. That technically would allow people to not take their hands off the game whatsoever. It also could provide the possibility of even just two players having their own screen. Let alone five players. And there's definitely going to be some surprises.
The one thing I am quite positive on is that it's not going to be some crazy drastically more powerful device. I would probably say about 4X and only about double the ram instead of 4 on switch 8 on switch 2. And I really curious if they even use the term Switch. Last time they reused the term Wii did not work out for them. Back in the '90s parents were really pissed off that the NES could not play any of the new SNES games. I definitely think the Switch 2(or new name) will be backwards Compatible with Switch.
Legos are really the gold though, many double in price within years and if they don't, sell at retail+.
So to me; don't care about this but aging hardware isn't a problem for resale.
From my understanding, Nintendo has only included a game during Black Friday with special edition bundles. And possibly Mario day such as this year when they did the pick one of 3 Mario game bundle.
