I would not be surprised this could be true. Putting in more ram is a drain on the already stressed battery.

Did emily say if she found that "swordless" link yet?

Just 4 gb of RAM? Most current gen games are going to struggle to work with that. I hope they have at least 8gb.

You know it deserves the GOTY.

Nope. Half as much as PS4/XBO.

Yeah, but does 720p upscale to 4k?

for a handheld yes, for a home console it's pretty underpowered.

Well looks like Switch being garbage is confirmed. RAM has always been Nintendo's hardware weakness. Been that way since the N64. Looks like Nintendo never learned their lesson. I wouldn't be shocked to see it being abandoned by 3rd party devs in a year. Maybe less.
