Next year should be the most anticipated of all for gaming consumers. This is because the new version of the console Nintendo, Nintendo Switch 2, could be expected to be released in 2024. The announcement of a new release coming from the company next year helped to fuel more theories about a new version of the console. According to the website VGC, the proposal for the new product would be the possibility of being used in a portable way, just like the product itself Nintendo Switch. 156i34

According to rumors, signs that the company had demonstrated the new device at Gamescom, the largest annual gaming fair, came to light last month. O Eurogamer, one of the most important video game websites, reported that some developers had a preview of the Switch 2 and some technical demos of how games would run on the system.

It is worth mentioning that the possible new release gained even more notoriety in July when another rumor emerged claiming that it had been listed on the developer portal of Nintendo, which was later denied. Along with this, the game Zelda: Breath of the Wild it also helped raise expectations even further, as its more improved version may have been designed to work on the device's more advanced hardware. However, once again, the supposed version of the game was denied and declared only as a technical demonstration.

There is no suggestion that the game will be re-released.

The demo of The matrix awakens running in Unreal Engine 5, on the other hand, was enough to further confirm all the allegations about the Switch 2.

A Nintendo has always been a gigantic company in the electronics sector and, always looking to evolve, sought to improve everything from the battery life of the console device to other models such as the Small. Even so, the Switch's proposal was never changed, remaining the same since then. All of your options had the same type of U and GPU, only having a variation in screen format at some point.

According to ex-president da Nintendo, Reggie Fils-Aime, when talking about the Switch, the word “update” is something that is starting to be expected, but it is also correct to say that it is a console likely to last up to 10 years only. Still, it is difficult to know whether a new, completely reformulated model would be in the company's plans, especially because the Switch itself is considered one of the most successful products. It's almost an idea of ​​“not moving on a winning team”, despite the long time since its launch and, therefore, it is also considered a late device in of innovation.

According to the industry, it is expected that Nintendo do something to change that next year. According to the company, a new platform could be in development, being compatible with the current Switch. Furthermore, according to market studies, 2024 would actually be the ideal time to launch a new console, since in that year, a drop in Switch sales would be expected. Coincidences or not, with the growth of rumors about the Nintendo Switch 2, it seems we knew very little about the brand's plans.

The report of the Eurogamer follow the rumors of jez corden, from the website Windows Central, of which the Nintendo had discussed a next-gen Switch with select developers at Gamescom.

Among the new features, a more powerful chipset could be the next step. There has been talk for a few years about how game developers could already have hardware to work on 4K games for the Switch. However, the Nintendo did not officially comment on this. In 2022, supposed information from NVIDIA, an American technology multinational, was created when s of the Twitter found possible signs of new Switch models in the source code.

It is certain that the Nintendo does not tend to follow the same pattern when it comes to gaming hardware, having a history of twists and surprises involving its products. Do you the Nintendo DS? The concept of Game Boy has been updated with a split screen and a surprising new design. O N64 became known for its three-lever control and the transforming motion controllers of the Wii were followed by the touchscreen tablet control included in the Wii U. The 3DS added glasses-free 3D. Based on this, it is pertinent to consider a major launch coming up.

Recently, the channel RedGamingTech published a video about rumors about what the Switch 2's hardware would be. According to his own sources, the YouTuber also released some news about the console's processor. Still, as much as the information is worth considering, nothing seems quite certain. In any case, it has been stated that some developers are prohibited from sharing details at the request of Nintendo, which generated even more buzz about real progress in the development of the new version of the Switch.

One of the many theories created involves the creation of a screen similar to that of Nintendo DS. In an era where cell phones are resurfacing with foldable designs, largely due to nostalgia for the 2000s, the idea of ​​a second screen wouldn't be strange at all. What's more, this would allow the brand to return with its entire library of games from DS e 3DS. Other than that, another speculation suggested would be controls of the type Dial, with some rotating disc on top.

Accessories and peripherals are also something that seem to be generating some additional expectations, after all the Nintendo it hasn't launched new features in this space for a long time and this is an area that tends to be well explored by the company.

The site editor Nintendo Universe, Necro Felipe, pointed out some interesting information.

Processor and graphics 6b2q

The supposed demo presented to developers at Gamescom, appears to have used the technology of DLSS upscaling da NVIDIA with ray tracing activated, suggesting exactly one of the ideas already mentioned previously: a striking update to the chip of the new version of the Switch.

The new Switch 2's processor could also balance the gaming system if it were improved. O Nintendo 3DS received a chip update midway through its lifecycle with the New Nintendo 3DS, but the difference seemed very subtle. Already the PlayStation 4 Pro da Sony, influenced for the better the graphics of many games on the PS4. Microsoft was another company that also did something similar with the Xbox One X before the X series e S.

It is worth ing that Bloomberg, a famous news outlet, a few years ago, reported on the Nintendo be developing a 4K version of Nintendo Switch in 2020. According to the information, due to the pandemic, a lack of chips caused the company to reevaluate its plans to update the Switch's hardware to a higher resolution and with a new configuration of the NVIDIA. About a few developers would have received development kits from the Nintendo Switch 4K. But with that, the Nintendo denied that a version pros of the device was being projected.

But 4K graphics aren't the only thing the Nintendo could be thinking. If there is something that the Switch has struggled with over time, it is precisely its graphical performance. Games that easily run on more current versions of Playstation and Xbox, show how significant the difference is, serving as proof when talking about delays in updates for the console in question. This is why there has been a trend of streaming games requiring an internet connection to work.

What many hope is that the Switch 2 will keep up with the portable gaming scene and where it is headed. O Steam deck da Valve represents a significant advance in the development of systems in this sector. Although it is considerably larger compared to other devices, the Steam Deck it has the capacity to run full PC games and s game streaming, precisely something to be taken into in the long-awaited console.

As previously mentioned, Switch sales have been declining recently, with the Nintendo hoping to boost sales with special versions with an OLED screen. However, the new console will reportedly include an LCD screen instead of its current one and will continue to cartridge slots for playing physical versions of games.

The existing console has an excellent 7-inch OLED screen, much more vibrant than previous models. Its 720p resolution is adequate for current games. Nintendo, and, according to some consumer views, adding a higher resolution screen could end up overloading the new console's processor and battery life. Furthermore, considering that the Switch has considerably reduced the size of the edges compared to its older version, the brand's loyal audience is hoping for a larger screen size, with something around 8 inches.

Compatibility 143di

Backward compatibility, that is, the ability to run games designed for an older console, is something very likely to occur. Improved hardware would have a great influence in this regard.

However, according to the industry, exclusive titles would only run on the new device, as the company's DLSS technology NVIDIA it will only appear specifically on the possible Switch 2. But what is it? According to the company's own website, it is a revolutionary advancement in graphics with technology provided by AI that immensely increases performance. Enhanced with new fourth generation Tensor Cores and Optical Flow Accelerator On GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics cards, DLSS 3 uses AI to create additional high-quality frames.

the controls Joy-Cons that slide on the Switch are also something commented on by the public of Nintendo, but some opinions show that time was not a great ally. The expectation is that there will be some change in their mechanics and they will no longer be uncomfortable to the touch. Many end up having problems with drifting (involuntary movement) or even wear of buttons.

ittedly, the smoother analog controls of the Steam deck are ideal from the perspective of many gamers, which almost gives an appeal to the Nintendo follow the same line. Apparently, everything Joy-Cons They were once, today they are no longer due to modernity and new technologies. O Xbox and Playstation These are some of the consoles that sured the Switch in this regard.

The new release's controls are expected to be more robust and improved.

A new regulation of European Union (EU), requires portable game consoles to have replaceable batteries by 2027. No existing consoles will be affected, however, it may impact future releases. This news seems interesting when we talk about the possible new Switch 2, as it opens up a range of third-party battery options or extended battery packs.

A portable battery should be considered easily removable by the end when it can be removed from a product with the use of commercially available tools without requiring the use of specialized tools unless provided free of charge with the product.

Furthermore, UE said that such a long period is precisely because it offers “enough time for operators to adapt the design of their products to this requirement”.

Batteries are key to the decarbonisation process and the EU's shift to zero-emission modes of transport.

The likely successor to Nintendo Switch It was scheduled to be launched later this year, but new rumors suggested that it should hit the market in the second quarter of 2024. No more specific date was released.

Keeping an eye on the horizon is a wise thing to do. The rumors remain intense, although the Nintendo haven't confirmed anything. The company has a history of surprising innovation in its consoles, so it will be interesting to see what they have in store for the future.
