TheNintendo Switch 2and its potentially imminent announcement have dominated gaming discourse for well over a year.
While certain folks are naturally excited about Nintendos next system, I wasnt one of them.
However, Im not the biggest fan of Nintendo’s first-party games or the hardware those titles run on.
I bought the originalNintendo Switchat launch and barely touched it.
I played almost exclusively in docked mode since I found the actual handheld uncomfortable to hold.
TheMarseille MClassic graphics enhancer peripheralhelped make the games look better, but the experience wasnt great.
Given that, I had no true interest in the Nintendo Switch 2.
However,after the consoles motherboard allegedly leaked on Reddit, Im having a change of heart.
The chip in question is built on Samsung Foundrys 8nm process which is the same as Nvidia Ampere.
This chip focuses on improved ray tracing cores, faster memory and AI performance.
This would be the equivalent of DLSS 2.0 Performance mode and Ultra Performance mode, respectively.
We cant say this will happen right away.
After all, companies file patents all the time to double-check competitors dont beat them to the punch.
This would certainly get skeptical folks like me to at least consider getting the Switch 2.
Sure, graphics arent everything, but theyre still important.
Nintendo confirmed Switch 2 will be backward compatible.
Hopefully, Nintendo can deliver a machine that looks good on modern TVs and monitors.
