Why is the Switch still not getting big games from 3rd parties? October edition

Switch Pro will be Tegra 2 most likely, so we dont talk about any huge difference in any case compared to current model, also you need to remember that same games would need to work on current Switch model also in any case, so from that point nothing will really change for 3rd parties.

We'll see. The leak in the Switch OS from hackers mentioned a Tegra 'Mariko' with custom model number that isn't the Tegra X2. 

X2 is actually a fairly old chip at Nvidia, they likely can give Nintendo something beyond that by 2019/2020. 

I'm not sure if Nintendo necessarily will mandate anything either, as far I know they didn't mandate for example that Minecraft had to work on all 3DS models (it only runs on New 3DS). It will be up to the developer I think. 

The Mariko chip is expected to just be an update with a custom Nintendo bootrom to fix the exploit that's allowing piracy to run rampant. They've patched very recent models to prevent the exploit but it's only a temporary solution and will be broken eventually, hence the need for Mariko.

It could offer more power, but I highly doubt it.
