I hope it's also underpowered enough for my laptop to run a Cease and Desist-ed emulator of it.

Hoping it has some extremely easy to exploit security vulnerability

[-] DrJenkem@lemmy.blugatch.tube 15 points 2 years ago

For real. But I'd bet good money they'll put a lot of work into hardening the boot loader security this time around.

People desperately awaiting confirmation of something that is literally guaranteed to happen? I am kind of looking forward to it disappointing everybody =)

[-] edge@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

Honestly if it’s backwards compatible and is basically the Switch with some improvements, it’ll be fine.

The rumor of magnetic Joy Cons sounds cool.

I’d love if it brought back dual screen, like a reversed Wii U where the handheld streams to the dock, but I highly doubt it.

[-] ashinadash@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

That'll be the safe approach--new Tegra SoC, bigger battery, 1080p screen and more ram as a treat--and it will suck :^)

There's a darkly comedic part of me that won't count out the possibility of something dumb like swapping to an x86 CPU and breaking backward compat for some reason, but it's unlikely lol

Dual screen is never ever going to happen, they proved how much the DS design does not work on a TV and frankly it seems like most people hate twoscreen gaming. I can maybe see wireless video streaming to TVs...

I would love to see them go back to the Wii U’s roots just to see the chaos it would create.

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 25 points 2 years ago

Where do they find they time between all their lawsuits to make another switch?

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 25 points 2 years ago

Have they considered I've only had one for 3 years and I'm still perfectly happy with it?

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago

Switch Reality

Also know as the Virtual Boy 2

[-] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 2 years ago

Nah thanks. I'm fine with my 2DS and hshop

[-] CrackBurger@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

I have one already

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

I'm guessing the actual release will be like Q2-3 2025?

[-] edge@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

Their fiscal years ends in March, so it could be Q1 or even right at the end of the fiscal year like the Switch. The Switch was announced October 2016 and released March 2017.

Why not? The OLED screen looks gorgeous. Unfortunately I can’t really justify getting the OLED model since I already have a working Switch.

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

What's the downside of oled?

[-] someone@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

Limited lifespan due to burn-in.

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

We will make an announcement to the successor of the Nintendo Switch

"The successor of the Nintendo Switch is going outside and touching grass.
