>>10247Anything newer than 2013 with AVX should be fine. We're talking about mobile games rendered at 540p(according to their patents) and upscalled up to 4k with fake frames inserted to make it feel smooth. The same game running on an emulator could have textures patched for the desired resolution and run at a higher framerate to not need the upscaling or frame generation. If the emulator does run a DLSS style upscaler you can be sure it'll be much better than the one used in the Switch 2 and each game will have a different one optimized for it.
That's all the Switch 2 is, a stupid AI gimmick added to a slightly improved existing product to take advantage of consumers buying 4k screens. They could have called it the Switch Pro like Sony did with the PS5.

>>10252Agreed on it being game specific but patents related to the Switch 2 were published half a month ago and they give those numbers, while portable it's 540p upscalled to 1080p and when docked 1080p native or upscalled to 4k. This makes sense for lower storage requirements of their game cartridges and helps extend battery life.

>the answer is that the architecture is probably the sameThe kind of Tegra SoC in the Switch 2 is entirely built around the concept of upscaling low resolution frames and inserting fake frames which will require different approaches in game design than the previous generation to deal with input lag and visual artifacts. A growing number of people don't consider this an improvement at all as the game will both be released as a buggy mess that needs constant patching and will also have visual glitches until after models are trained on typical gameplay telemetry.

The price of the Nintendo Switch 2 is one of the hottest topics within the video game industry. Analysts have told IGN they expect Nintendo's next-gen console to launch at $400, and a new Bloomberg report reaffirms that price range, based on Japan-focused analyst predictions.
A $400 price point would be significantly higher than the original Switch, and another analyst told Bloomberg they wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo went even higher, potentially to $499. But the analysts expect Switch 2 to enjoy a massive launch, maybe even the biggest console launch of all time, "regardless of price."
"They will sell boatloads of Switch 2 in the first months in particular, almost regardless of the price," Tokyo analyst Serkan Toto told Bloomberg.
One of the reasons Switch 2 will be so popular during its launch period is because of huge demand for its launch line-up of games. Toto expects a new Mario Kart, as teased by Nintendo itself when it revealed the Switch 2, a new 3D Mario game, as well as the already announced Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Metroid Prime 4, all released during the Switch 2's first year of life. Toto also expects third-party support to include Call of Duty from Activision.
There is a long list of rumored third-party titles coming to the console, and in an interview with IGN, Civilization 7 developer Firaxis called Switch 2's apparent Joy-Con mouse mode "definitely intriguing." French video game and accessories maker Nacon, publisher of the likes of Greedfall 2, Test Drive Unlimited, and RoboCop: Rogue City, has said it has Switch 2 games ready to go. The long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong is also rumored to be set for Switch 2. And last month, EA said Madden, FC, and The Sims would all be a great fit for Switch 2.
It's worth noting Activision has yet to announce its Switch 2 plans, and Nintendo hasn't commented on the report.
When will Switch 2 release? June 2025 is increasingly coming up not just online, but in games media circles. One Japan-based analyst, Robin Zhu of Sanford C. Bernstein, told Bloomberg the Switch 2 is expected to release in June, with first-day inventory of 6-8 million units. If Nintendo burns through that stock the Switch 2 will have no problem selling faster than its predecessor and the PlayStation 4 and 5, breaking records along the way.

>>11016According to Nate the Hate, a number of Switch 2 games are coming from Ubisoft, including a port of Assassin's Creed Mirage in the console's launch window. The upcoming Assassin's Creed Shadows, currently only down for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC, is also reportedly coming to Switch 2, although at a later date outside the launch window.
Other Ubisoft ports allegedly include games from The Division series and Rainbow Six Siege. The Mario + Rabbids games are also reportedly coming to Switch 2, potentially in a single package, which wouldn't come as much of a surprise given the Nintendo link and previous comments from Ubisoft boss Yves Guillemot.
Nate the Hate also reported that Konami is preparing a Switch 2 port of Metal Gear Solid Delta, which is due out at some point this year. Nate the Hate suggested it may launch day and date on Switch 2.
In a previous podcast, Nate the Hate said a number of Xbox games are coming to Switch 2, including Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Windows Central's Jez Corden subsequently corroborated that report, saying it's likely that most, if not all Xbox games, will launch on Switch 2 if the console is able to run them well enough.
We can make some informed speculation ourselves about what to expect on Switch 2. It seems likely that games Nintendo has announced as coming to the Switch this year and beyond will also make their way to the Switch 2. Metroid Prime 4, for example, is a safe bet. As is Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Professor Layton and the New World of Steam. The question is, will these games look and play significantly better on the Switch 2 compared to the Switch?
