In Cologne last month, Nintendo’s public Gamescom showfloor booth let you play Pikmin 4 and Super Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. …
I’m sorry, did they say Super Mario Kart 8 deluxe? I thought the game was just called Mario Kart 8 deluxe? Or is it getting even more content. Because that would be fucking dope
Super Mario kart 8 : Double Deluxe Dash Edition
& Knuckles?
Maybe this time it’ll ship with an Ethernet port and joycons that last more than 6mo!
Jokes aside, very curious what changes they’ll make. Incredibly unlikely they are going to target 4K but hopefully we will see a stable 1080p @60 across the board.
For real on the joycons. I think I’m on my fourth set?
Seems like a great reason for them not to fix it
Yeah, it’s all working as intended
True, ha ha!
ship with an Ethernet port
I have to ask… why? The only device I’ve connected to hardwired Ethernet is a desktop PC in the same room as my router. I’ve not used ethernet for any portable device for eons. Why would you need it?
For a TV console? For better download speeds and more consistent connection for online gaming
WiFi works okay but it can’t have cost that much to put an Ethernet port into the switch dock
- Update to a newer SoC; NVIDIA’s latest chips at this thermal displacement are like 4x as fast + would easily run PS4 games
- Upgrade the controllers to be more reliable + feel better
That’s pretty much it; the OLED model is fine as far as physical design + screen, it just needs more competitive performance and to fix the Joy-Con drift nightmare
PS4 quality games on a portable format would be amazing, and it’s just baffling how Sony missed the chance to do it first.
They did. It’s called the Vita and it’s still amazing even after Sony dumped it. I have one a friend cracked for me, and any game I could possibly want to play runs at a crisp 50 fps with no fluctuation. If only they had marketed it better.
