A month ahead of Switch 2's global release, we accidentally bought a real motherboard of Switch 2! We decided to reverse-engineer its NVIDIA SoC, and reveal the spces of its CPU and GPU, even head to a FIB-SEM to ensure its process node! We'd also simulate the performance on a similar PC to see how powerful is Switch 2. Stay tuned!

Around the same as the Steam Deck when portable, but with access to significantly better upscaling.

Such a shame FSR looks so terrible, the Steam Deck would otherwise hold up much better against it.

I'm still not going to buy one and only use my Deck though.

So there really is no excuse for the new Pokemon games to look so terrible.

There never was a good excuse other than greed and the fact that everyone keeps blindly throwing their money at them anyway.

As a !pokemon@lemm.ee fan I didn't buy for these reasons but that doesn't stop hordes of parents or certain fans from buying anyways. If they're happy, I guess… meanwhile I'll be fine as long as they don't go after ROM hacks.

Rom hacks can be so good, but why can't we move past hm's??

From what I've heard a lot of the same og programmers and animators from the game boy days are still in charge of making the games and they don't want a large team. They also don't want to have to work really hard or learn new skills, so basically all the work falls to inexperienced people being led by people with incredibly dated skills. Nintendo still rakes in tons of money so they don't see the need to interject.
