Some insiders have almost confirmed a new one Nintendo Switch Pro which will offer more power to the handheld console.
Nintendo Switch has largely met the expectations of fans of the Japanese company. A unique, out-of-the-box gaming experience has long been a hallmark of Nintendo, despite the sales of the switch are inferior to rival consoles. However, according to insiders, with the alleged Nintendo Switch Pro, there could be a turnaround.
Hitherto Nintendo Switch has had a great longevity. Being able to switch from portable mode to television via one docking station, allows users to explore the fantastic worlds of Nintendo IP like Super Mario Odyssey e Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, in any situation and moment. However, this lack of constraints presents some critical issues. The resolution of 720p (which some titles struggle to maintain) with occasionally uncertain framerates, leads to the departure of more demanding gamers. Hence, the new version of Nintendo Switch unofficially nicknamed Nintendo Switch Pro, it could change things.
Insiders claim that the new model of Nintendo Switch will exploit the technology Nvidia, allowing you to use DLSS to offer better resolutions. The console will be able to reproduce the resolution 4K when connected to the docking station. Adopting this technology also brings a more powerful chipset and additional memory but there are issues with that Nintendo will have to consider. A new technology also implies a radical change of the platform. The titles released in the past will not be able to take advantage of the new console unless they are patched by the developers.
This implies that many titles will retain 720p resolution on the new console as well, unless the developers are willing to update them. This could coincide with the sudden shortage of titles in the second half of 2021, identifiable on the site Nintendo. It is possible that the developers are waiting for official announcements not to have to make too many patches. According to rumors, a plausible release date can be placed in the second half of 2021.
Il DLSS remains an exclusive feature of Nvidia, which uses artificial intelligence to upscale renders beyond what would be possible. This novelty, which is expected to be introduced with a seven-inch screen for the Switch Pro, could indicate a change in the way Nintendo approaches the console world.
The difficulty of surviving in a market where competitors offer better resolutions could push Nintendo wanting to introduce updated hardware for his new console. The constant search for unique experiences pursued by the Japanese company could therefore coincide with performance updates and a competitive resolution. However, fans will have to wait for the company to make an official announcement regarding the hardware specs.
