Reply to Poll (bet): Will the Nintendo Switch 2 be less or more powerful than an high-end smartphone with a Snapdragon Gen 2 chipset? by Honest-Word-7890
Nintendo don’t tend to focus on power, as long as it has enough power to port current gen games over and it stays compact and cheap to produce they will be happy. I can see them using a overclocked Tegra 2 with 128gb internal memory and 8/16gb of ram.

Reply to Series S VS WII U+PS VITA by yed4ever
That sounds good, it really is upto you and based on what makes you excited playing games. The wii u has an amazing library of games as well as the vita and modding them are a piece of cake.
The series S is an amazingly small console although all your modern games would need to be digital, and you’d find more value in game pass + emulating in retail mode (I think the dolphin emulator has also just started being ported over to retail mode).
Like I said, both choices are amazing and you just have to choose which makes you happier.

I would choose the series s, as much as I love retro devices it’s hard to encourage someone in your position to buy them unless you are going to mod them.
The series s will allow you to play modern games and use game pass. You can also look into emulation using retail mode (legal and no modding required). Have a look into it, atm I can emulate all 16/32 bit consoles all the way upto ps2 (running in 1440p and 3x resolution). It’s insane.

How do you believe a tegra 2 would be a waste? Or do you mean paired with 16gb? I personally think it will be 8/16gb and they will choose to go with a similar soc to the tegra. They have a tendency to go cheap but streamlined. As long as the games they create are incrementally better quality then the current switch it will be progress for Nintendo. 4k dlss 2.0 is the goal.
