Well, at least by the time G-rank in Rise comes out the Pro should be out and Rise can run 60fps and look nice.

mormapope · « **Reply #9963 on:** March 03, 2021, 09:43:00 PM »

Theres some talk of the Switch Pro using DLSS. Which would be a fantastic idea and keep costs low enough for this to be a $300 console potentially.

Switch lite at $149.99, Regular Switch for $199.99, New Switch for $300.

Sales would fucking explode upward if this is the case.

This is all unconfirmed rumor, but it will apparently still use the same "Mariko" chipset as the newer Switch and the Lite, so doesn't look like performance levels will increase. Nobody knows though.

james · « **Reply #9973 on:** March 04, 2021, 12:32:55 AM »

Gameboy -> Gameboy Pocket
GBA -> GBA SP
DS -> DS Lite

A minor change to improve screen quality and battery life is Nintendo 101.

Dont forget they will most likely drop a feature that isnt used too often, but is still much appreciated. Nintendo loves to do that too.

What most shocked me about this is the wake up call that the Switch has been out for 4 years and hasnt dropped in price at all.

The Gamecube saw a price drop in like 6 months!

Even the super successful Wii saw a price drop (50) less than 3 years in. And it was in pancake mode.

Bebpo · « **Reply #9974 on:** March 04, 2021, 03:18:00 AM »

Actually why would devs be getting new dev kits if the performance is the same and it's just outputting/upscaling 4k? That's more a system wide thing.

I dunno how this all works but I'd think if dev kits are going out to everyone then the specs are pretty different. Plus if kits are just going out now it sounds like an xmas thing, so pretty far out still.

If I cared about 4k resolution I sure as hell wouldn't be playing on a Nintendo console.

team filler · « **Reply #9980 on:** March 04, 2021, 12:26:58 PM »

things like 4k only matter when nintendo does it. otherwise I don't care either

Nintex · « **Reply #9981 on:** March 04, 2021, 02:07:17 PM »

720p > 4k upscaling is what Nvidia promotes for their Nvidia Shield Pro (Tegra X1+) which has a 25% uplift in performance.
Probably wat to expect from the next Switch revision. Nintendo might also finally add some stuff like Dolby Standards and Netflix and such.

Switch + Switch Lite
720p/unlocked(~60fps) - 1080p/unlocked (~30fps)

Super Switch
720p/60fps - 1080p/unlocked (~60fps) - 4k DLSS/unlocked (~30fps)

I don't see Nintendo jumping on a big leap in specs beyond Nvidia's own shield upgrade path.
A Super Switch would probably give them 3 more years until Switch 2 and late gen Xbox One / PS4 ports.

I hope I'm completely wrong, but I don't see any kind of big performance leaps happening here. Maybe some games staying at 30 FPS as opposed to dropping, but not stuff running at double the framerate over the original models.

Yeah, I don't have a 4k tv and given Nintendo tech I'm not sure I want them to target 4k.

But give me games actually running at 1080p @ locked 30fps or better yet 60fps please. Still a lot of sub 1080p and sub 30fps stuff on Switch which is pretty pathetic.

Thank fuck for The Silver Case, was really hyped hearing about that and reading up on that duo of games.

Started playing Gnosia on Switch. I've wanted to get into more visual novel/Adventure games and Gnosia scratches that itch. Really fun writing and characters, incredible visual design and music. It's very much Among Us but an actual, thought out single player game instead of a drug for Lil kids.

It looks like on the NIS America site the limited edition set for NIS Classics 1 is $99.99, and there isn't super limited stock. For The Silver Case, it looks like there's a stock tracker.

Pre ordered The Silver Case limited edition, box set looks pretty baller.

It's one of N1's best/most interesting games. It was really ambitious but it doesn't pull it off completely. It's no Tactics Ogre/FFT.

Also probably their most mature/dark.

From the heyday of N1 srpgs I'd rank them: Makai Kingdom > Soul Nomad -> Disgaea series -> Phantom Brave, though having played Disgaea 5 recently it's probably better than Soul Nomad. Makai Kingdom had Zetta Book & Tanks and still da best.

Caring about graphics when the vast majority of new Switch announcements is still old ass games anyway.

Or unsalveagable Game Freak junk.

They specifically mentioned in dev interviews that they had set-up their teams in a way that development of Torna and XBDE did not interfere with their next project.
They started XC2 in the latter half of 2014, announced it January 2017 and finished it by December 2017.
Add in some COVID difficulties and we're probably looking at 2022.

I loved the original Xenoblade, though my feelings on the sequels have waned in time (Torna was really good though)... I'm hoping Monolith moves on a bit from the franchise and tries something new (with a new battle system), but at the same time it's more popular than ever.

I think if you're wanting less Xenoblade when they just dumped two characters from it into Smash to help build up hype for the series you're probably going to be disappointed.

Nintex · « **Reply #10002 on:** March 05, 2021, 01:42:10 PM »

Xenoblade 1, X and 2 are quite different in approach so I can see 3 offering enough change.

Different approach than the first game but I wouldn't say gutter. They did Torna and Future Connected too which I have yet to play. XC2 was more an animu coming of age story while XC1 was a classic hero's journey with a twist. If they tone down the gacha a bit I'm not worried about the future of XB.

Rahxephon91 · « **Reply #10006 on:** March 07, 2021, 11:04:14 AM »

I'd wager the next Xenoblade is going to be a different and unique style that will be unexpected. The first three Xenoblade games each had their own thing and story, I wouldn't expect anything different for the next one.

The art style of Chrystal Chronicles/Bearers was not all that different from the style of XB1 actually.
I'm thinking they might go a bit more medieval or maybe even present times(?)

We've had:
Xenoblade - Sci-fi future (but of a long time ago, far far away vibe though)
