A bit off topic, but how do the leaked specs / presumed performance compare to this?

Those are the minimum specs for Rebirth on PC.

I think Switch 2 is said to have 12 GB of RAM, but I'm not sure how the CPU and GPU compare to the ones listed above.
Definitely not getting Rebirth for Switch 2, as this is a game I want to look and run as good as possible, but it'd be nice for Switch-only owners to be able to play it.

Docked, the Switch 2 is supposed to have 3.1 TFlops (1.7 TFlops handheld), about half of the 2060 and more comparable to a 3050 mobile (which at 35W with minimum clock speeds just has 2.9 TFlops). But we saw that this doesn't mean much considering all the "impossible" ports that the Switch got.

Btw, with those TFlops numbers the Switch 2 would be roughly 4 times as powerful as the OG Switch in raw numbers (307 TFlops handheld mode, 738 TFlops docked), and with other optimizations in hardware and software this will be a nice generational upgrade anyway, plus DLSS (or any other equivalent developed by Nintendo themselves) can help quite a bit in such a format, especially in handheld mode where the small screen naturally hides some details anyway.
