Significant enough to warrant more exclusives for that system? It doesn’t seem that way. There is a reason why not many games were exclusive to that sku.Minecraft was pretty significant.

Please. BOTW is the best selling Zelda ever, you think they’d tie the sequel to the compulsory purchase of new hardware?Breath of the Wild 2 will most likely be an exclusive for the new hardware and potentially Splatoon
Why you argue with someone who has such pathetic nickname?Please. BOTW is the best selling Zelda ever, you think they’d tie the sequel to the compulsory purchase of new hardware?
First thing the improved Switch will do is improve the performance of existing games. I doubt we’ll see exclusive Nintendo games for this fabled new machine in the first year.
On the other hand, they’re crazy enough to make Metroid Prime 4 exclusive to the new hardware, but that’s just because that game isn’t coming before 2023 if we’re lucky.
To be honest, I do want prime to be exclusive to it. Probably Bayonetta 3 as well. I mean, the latter i'm pretty sure is having performance issues on switch, because you just know they're pushing the system hard with lots of spectacle.Please.

This. I was reading the thread on Reee and between the shitpost that's what the insiders are all thinking.Nintendo's "Pro" Switch will just be another console generation quietly ushered little by little.
It would probably release early next year, not anytime soon (my speculation despite the leaks). Every 5-6 years was how generations used to work back in the 80's and 90's.Switch released in 2017, people expecting this to be a new gen and not just a a pro version of the Switch might be in for a rude awakening.
Arrogant Nintendo does show up sometimes.Nintendo doing it right. Leaving inferior hardware BEHIND.
TAKE NOTE SONY AND MICROSOFT

PS4 with better CPU,newer tech and DLSS.So according to the rumors/consensus so far, how powerful is this thing supposed to be? Base XB1 levels?
I'd say it sounds too good to be true but then I gotta remind myself XB1 runs more recent games like WDL and CP reeeeally poorly.
It would still be way "underpowered" compared to PS4Pro, XB1X, and of course PS5 and SX.
I don't wanna get my hopes up cuz this shit always seems to end in disappointment but there really seems to be a lot of smoke this time. It would also explain Nintendo's near silence last year. We know how they get before a new console launch. Lookit them before the Wii U and Switch, they went pretty dark for an extended period of time.
Anyways, fingers crossed for this.
Are you mistaking PS5 with PRO?
Switch PRO to Switch will be like base PRO to base PS4.

One of the rumors going around.You're basing that on what? It's powerful 720p max screen?

1.8(ish) TF GPU,720p oled,4 core(8 threaded cpu mobile based)No way. I would love for this to be true but I can't believe it and I will not hope for this.
That with better screen and stuff, wouldn't it be expensive as hell?
I occasionally post in the Nintendo thread.Nate used to be a regular here
what happened? thraktor too. He was an awesome poster here
They didn't even make Breath of the Wild exclusive on Switch - it still came to Wii U.Would make sense, Bowsers Fury struggles to run on the Switch its still an amazing experience but for that 60fps it tried to do there is alot of drops and even worse in Handheld mode.
Breath of the Wild 2 will most likely be an exclusive for the new hardware and potentially Splatoon
Hardly satire.Is this satire? You realize Nintendo's hardware is already two generations behind, as will this incremental upgrade.
I didn't really understand how a rumor about exclusive games on a Switch Pro exists when the rumor about a new Switch model is yet to be proved.
I think Gaf is suffering from a syndrome of rumors.
Agreed, plus the tech in the way of far more efficient ARM CPU tech and GPU hardware is available, obviously that depends on NVidia putting that into a fully realised Turing or Ampere based SoC, but the building blocks exist.well, there are many things that point towards a pro model being worked on. the firmware updates having suddenly a new product name and 4K support baked in, Nintendo apparently ordering OLED screens from Samsung, and the fact that Nintendo almost always update their handhelds in some way.
GameBoy / GameBoy Color
DS / DSi
3DS / New 3DS
these all were new iterations with slightly more powerful hardware and excusive games on them. A Switch Pro is therefore very likely and becomes more and more likely the more we hear about it from somewhat credible sources. add to that the current trends with hardware refreshes and we got a very VERY likely scenario.

i can see that. cyberpank on ps4 vs ps4pro. its normal. i hope its not true though. but the machine is 4yrs so who knows. i hope its like to wiiu to switch or 3ds to new 3ds feature wise.Nah. New and more demanding games will still run on the old Switch versions. With exactly 11fps.
Still all rumors dude. I'm not gonna talk about tech and stuff because I'm not a tech fetish. But I know Nintendo tends to repeat their moves from old portables.
Not trying to discredit anything, I don't doubt a new version myself. But we're talking about a "supposed Pro version" rumor. And here we have a rumor, about a rumor.
Nah, publishers love cross gen.
