Looking at some old posts of mine, and found this funny.

I'd love for the Switch 2 to have a 40hz mode like the Steam Deck. That would be the best sweet-spot in my opinion. 40hz is a huge latency reduction over 30hz, while still being pretty attainable for the hardware.

Would be nice to play Metroid Prime 4 with ray-tracing, DLSS 1080p, at 40hz.

Even being moderately optimistic as I was, I didn't think Nintendo would go for a high frame-rate setup for their games. Still maybe Metroid Prime 5 (let's hope we get it) will have a ray-tracing mode at 40hz-60hz variable. Although that is roughly what Cyberpunk 2077's performance mode has turned out to be (absent the ray-tracing.) 

My prediction from September 2023 wasn't far off though. Although given that we knew pretty much everything about the hardware then, it's not much of a "prediction." Again, still didn't think we'd get 4k output in a modern 3D title though when I said "Some simple 2d/2.5d titles would do 1080p -> 1800p or 4k."
