People complaining about Nintendo not competing in technology and specs will never cease to amaze me. Their philosophy from the NES days has been the same. The only Nintendo consoles to ever use "current tech" were the N64 and GC and we all know what happened there.

Their stated strategy from the NES days has been to repurpose existing technology and create a new experience for users.

Some of their best games they haven't topped to this day

Also Nintendo is notoriously terrible at reading the room.

They should've had Eiji Aonuma announce it. He knows how to manage expectations now.

I'm not complaining about it, if anything I've been skeptical of the concept of a "4k upscaling capable switch pro," go back and check. I feel like laughing at and forcibly dragging anyone who participated in speculation on such a rumor is my godgiven right as a 20+ year online Nintendo troll.

Also it's completely possible to enjoy Nintendo's games (often quite good!) and be exasperated with their choices (hardware, pricing strategies, etc) #thedualities

Can we start the next cycle then? Nintendo's next handheld will be more powerful than the PS5 and XSX. Combined.

Highly recommend an mclassic. It’s not perfect for all games, but it makes a huge difference in some games like monster hunter.

ah fair. Yeah, it was definitely over hyped but the Bloomberg reports suggested a fairly big upgrade so i guess the chip shortage really hit home instead

orrrrr they just speculated on the new OLED refresh info they got wind of that nvidia and nintendo were going to drop a new custom soc in there as well. there's no info anywhere on nvidia making new chips for a switch pro. some speculation was made over the tegra x1 chip production ramping down but otherwise there's been little to infer they have a chip to replace it with atm

they prob get all their info at the "secret" nintendo cafe

At this point these people are probably just waiting for the Switch 2, so they can jump up and cry "THAT's the console I meant, I wasn't wrong! Marketing plans change, duh. Also yes, when I said that pigs will start to fly and Kojima is back at Konami to work on Silent Hills with Sony, what I really meant is that several years later Konami would whore their IP out to a Polish indie dev.

PLANS

CHANGE

(and only I know about them)".

At what point do people realize this is purely speculation on the same level as, “Sony planning a follow up to current playstation, Apple planning newer version of iPhones”? Popular device has a follow up in the works? You don’t say, insider man.

Afaik that's one of the main guys baiting nintenyearolds with hype-orientated pseudo-rumours in the hellhole known as nintendoresetera (and is friends with that slob from the last page). Apparently after backing off false information he then cashes in on clickbaity podcasts for those nintendies, which contain nothing but basic ass speculation and commentary? He already seems at a steady 20k viewership thanks to this move.

And receiving dozens of donations

There's also people who don't want to see a Switch Pro because "it will divide the userbase." Which is weird, because a theoretical Pro would just run the same games at a higher resolution, possibly with better performance. Literally like the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X.

And this divides the user base...how...?
