vurpo | * Joysticks replaced, new joycon cases with animal crossing color scheme and D-pad in place of the buttons | 17:41:43 |
vurpo | I already replaced the left joystick a year ago, but not the right one | 17:45:27 |
vurpo | All the screws on the right joycon stripped and refused to open so I gave up, but today I went and drilled them open | 17:45:54 |

tulir | new switch model announced with slightly larger oled screen, proper stand, better audio and ethernet in the dock | 15:13:19 |
tulir | it's still not a switch pro though :( | 15:13:36 |

js | In reply to @tulir:maunium.net it's still not a switch pro though :( I really don't get why people think there will be a Switch Pro anytime soon. They'd need to offer backwards compatibility, that means they need to maintain 100% compatibility for compiled shaders. That means the only option is the Tegra X2, which is an upgrade, but a minor one. Definitely not enough of an upgrade to allow 4K or DLSS. And there's no point in releasing a new Switch that is merely 20% faster and splitting the ecosystem for that. | 10:14:29 |
js | Though, I have to admit, I am not even sure if the X2 would offer 100% backwards compatibility on compiled shaders. But at least, there's a chance for that one, given it's the same architecture. | 10:16:11 |
js | The other option would of course be to do what Nintendo did in the past: Put 2 GPUs on there. But given that the CPU and GPU are the same chip, that would be extremely tricky. You'd need to put two entire Switches (original and Pro) into one Switch, essentially, and seamlessly Switch between them, as I don't think the Tegra really allows sharing memory with another device. | 10:17:36 |
js | Maybe they can get Nvidia to build a custom SoC that contains the custom Tegra X1-based GPU and another newer GPU, but it will definitely be very expensive. | 10:18:30 |
js | but, given the Switch's age, a Switch 2 that does not maintain 100% backwards compatibility might be a better option. Maybe you can then only run games that have been updated to contain compiled shaders for the Switch 2 or something. | 10:19:42 |
vurpo | New Nintendo Switch | 11:28:48 |
js | oh god. It totally wouldn't be unlike Nintendo to actually name it that. | 18:03:55 |
js | I mean, as if they learned from the confusion it created on the 3DS | 18:04:28 |
