I'm not sure there will be a bigger difference this time around between handheld and docked mode than what was present with the current console, but it will depend a lot of the resolution of the screen. If it stays at 720p or maybe 800p, then my guess is that Nintendo will use the extra power in docked mode for rendering at higher resolution and DLSS, with maybe a few extra effects... tho I doubt the console will be powerful enough for RT.

Weight and size, well, Nintendo has been doing handhelds for decades. They know a thing or two about what's comfortable or not, and they usually get it right.

The power demands going from 720P to say... 1080P or 1440P just isn't warranted for a gaming handheld device, not on those small displays.

I think RT is more than doable, AMD has sort of tarnished RT on consoles, but the Switch successor isn't likely to be plagued by those same limitations, especially with nVidia's generational lead in A.I/Upscaling/RT.

I see kids usually having Switch Lite's over the other models, mostly because they are cheap... And they are a very lite device at 275g. Pun intended.

I fully agree that you don't need more than a 720p or 800p screen on a machine that size, but I wanted to state the obvious given that both that the ROG Ally and Legion Go have higher resolutions, 1080p and 1600p respectively.

RT may be used for shadows and "small" things like that, imho. Any form of RT have an impact in performance, and given that the machine won't be all that powerful, I hope devs don't focus on RT at the cost of constant frames and overall quality.

My current gaming PC has a 256 GB SSD and a 1 TB HDD


Next PC will need at least 1 TB SSD and 2 TB HDD.

Funnily enough, I also have the same setup with in current PC but, given that games are begging bigger and bigger and that some are starting to demand SSDs even in its minimum requirements, I'd opt for a 2TB SSD for games.

With that said, I know you play a lot of "old" games, so it shouldn't be a big problem for you.

Nah, it's the Super refreshes of the high end 4000 cards. WHile it was a rumor back then, there's been other leaks that have confirmed it: https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-40-super-launch-scheduled-for-january-17-24-and-31-with-rtx-4070-super-leading-the-way

What does NVidia want to say with this? That the prices are going to be astronomical?

As to what it could be, a 40x0 SUPER, most likely

I would like RT used for Global Illumination across all platforms, it's probably the most impactful way to use RT, but it comes at a hefty cost and the Series X/Playstation 5 struggle with it.
It should be interesting to see what we get with the Switch 2 and being nVidia powered.

1 TB SSD is just a minimum for me but as time goes , ya 2 TB SSD will become a minimum for me.

I mean I dont install multiple games on my SSD, usually 1-3 at a time (unless its really small games).

The space I want is mainly for when I record footage.

Humble Bundle has launched the Outright Games' Heroes of Film and Television Bundle, in support of UNICEF, with up to 17 games to get during the next 13 days: https://www.humblebundle.com/games/outright-heroes-film-television.

I've played some of those games and they were fun, if on the short side. Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion you explore a flooded Ooo using a boat, and the art style is faithful to the cartoon. The first Ben 10 game is a fun beat'em up, the other is more open world and not as good with enemy designs, also with less aliens to transform into but it has co-op. The Transformers game is similar to XCOM in gameplay. The two Dreamworks Dragon games are top-down action-adventure games. All in all not a bad deal at that price.

What I bought from the Steam sale

  • ASTRO AQUA KITTY
  • CrossCode
  • It Takes Two
  • The Last Case of Benedict Fox
  • LEGO Builder's Journey
  • Love, Money, Rock'n'Roll
  • Mari and the Black Tower
  • Mutant Football League
  • Nail'd
  • Once a Porn a Time
  • Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments
  • Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Baskervilles
  • Summer Memories
  • Sunday Gold
  • To The Rescue!
  • Tomes and Quests: a Word RPG
  • Urtuk: The Desolation
  • Wanderlust: Travel Stories

What I got as gifts

  • The Evil Within 2
  • Nioh: Complete Edition
  • Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds
  • Serment - Contract with a Devil
  • Valheim
