The same way we've seen shit performance and awful screen tearing on console games for years.

I can't wait to play BotW without frame drops.
Also if Pokemon Legends Arceus has framerate issues at launch then Pro will probably clear those up. Same with resolution issues, the game might actually be pretty clean on the device.

Lol, you're missing my point entirely.
If a hardcore enthusiast said they wished the Wii had better graphics you could say "Well it sold boatloads, clearly no one cares about its graphics." And there may be some truth to that, but that argument isn't going to make someone suddenly stop wishing that Metroid Prime 3 looks more like Gears of War.
Similarly, you can say that few people are going to care about the new Switch's resolution, and that will almost certainly be true. But that's not going to immediately quiet the "But my phone has a higher resolution" crowd. Enthusiasts just aren't going to care about what the average person prioritizes.
That's literally all I was saying. I never said that non-native resolutions look as good as native, or whatever you're blathering about. Again, I have no clue how you got that from my first post you quoted. Thanks anyway for the unnecessary, condescending explanation of how resolution works, I guess.
I hope this post is simple enough for you. You seem to be struggling.
There were quite a few DSi and New 3DS exclusives, they were just mostly on the eShop.
But also there are a couple key differences I see with this system. One is that there are a lot of ports that aren't quite in reach right now due to PS4/XB1. A new system with improved specs really has the potential to open the floodgates for those. The other is that I expect this system to have a much longer cycle than the DSi or New 3DS. While it will probably be treated more like a revision at first, based on the rumored specs, I expect it to eventually pull away from the current Switch and become the new baseline.

I wouldn't personally be so confident in it. That said, Nate has speculated something similar:

It wouldn't be the first time. The Wii output 480p during a time when HD was not just nice-to-have (like 4K is now) but standard.
You've made similar ridiculous statements throughout this thread, even when people brought the math to the table to help you understand and you blew them off and spouted off cockily as if you know what you're talking about when you clearly don't.
I'd be happy to snag your exact quotes if necessary. The whole point you're missing is that the enthusiasts that actually know the difference between viewing various content in various screen resolutions are the one's wanting the 720p, not the 1080p screen, so you're argument misses the boat completely, which is exactly what everyone has been trying to get through to you.
Maybe it's you who needs to slow down and use some critical thinking skills before sounding off in a message board so confidently. Shit you write down is permanent so you'd be well informed to proof read or have at least a rudimentary understanding of the topic at hand before hitting that send button. But I digress
Oh, please do go snag those quotes. Be sure to include the ones where I say 1080p is overkill.
I'm glad you've laid out who the "true" enthusiasts are. I guess I just lack the critical thinking skills to tell between the people who post on a games forum who are "real enthusiasts" and the ones who just wound up here on accident.
I'd probably learn how to use your and you're correctly before calling out someone else's intelligence. But I digress.
Personally, I think it's possible we see some technically taxing games that release with a Cloud version for Switch/Switch Lite, and a traditional release for the Pro model.
It feels like the quiet Cloud releases we've seen of late could be a trial run to test the viability of that by some 3rd parties.
Actually that's pretty interesting, I hadn't considered Nintendo doing a cloud game. Personally I be beyond surprised if they did that but I suppose it's a possibility.
It may make it harder to sell future consoles if people start thinking "Wait, why can't I play exclusives for this new hardware on the cloud."
Yes, we are only in early March will all this smoke... if they start production in July, where will we be by Christmas?
Even January would be kind of BS for all the people who would get an OG Switch at Christmas.
They don't need to announce it. The word is out and it will only get worse when production start this summer.
They had virtually nothing to sell Christmad 2016.
It'll be hilarious if Switch Pro and BotW2 launch this year after people were so sure it was a 2022 or 2023 game because they didn't show it in the recent Direct.
Lol, that's not how this works. They're not going to skip an official announcement just because it leaked. And we have no idea what that announcement will be.
Personally I'd guess this fall is the most likely launch period but it's not a guarantee.
NateDrake: Switch Pro will have exclusives from Third Party developers
There will be some select exclusives, especially from third-party partners. May not be a big number of them, but I know of at least one.
I think at this point I care more about the controller they create, specifically the sticks and if it has a damn dpad. The resolution and power seems so much less important.
My biggest complaints about the Switch have nothing to do with resolution or performance.

You misunderstood my meaning.
I never said won't announce it, how stupid do you thing I am?
I said they don't need to announce it for it to have a negative influence in their Christmas sales.
The rumors are enough, especially because we are so early in the year, there is no telling what we know by Christmas, official announcement or not.
Yeah, if a game borderline can't run acceptably on the base Switch hardware, I imagine it'd just land exclusively on the revision.
Curious to see what something like this will end up costing in Canada. Currently, the Switch goes for $400 here...wonder if they will just replace the current one and have it priced at $400 (and possibly keep the OG switch and lower its price?), or this will be $499. Bleh, hate the exchange rate.
I'm going to guess the Square part of Square Enix are going to release games exclusive to the new model. I'm also going to guess all the Kingdom Hearts games outside of Melody of Memory is exclusive to the new model, going by Square Enix's bullshit response to why the rest of the Kingdom Hearts games (except for Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue and Kingdom Hearts III) aren't coming to the Nintendo Switch, according to Tetsuya Nomura.
Yeah, I don't really see an issue with that. Everyone who releases games on Switch does this to tap into its enormous userbase -- releasing a game exclusively for Switch Pro means that you lose all of that. No developer or publisher will consider creating a game exclusively for Switch Pro if a Switch port is possible in some form. And if a game simply can't run acceptably on OG Switch hardware, then what harm would be done by releasing it as a Pro exclusive? From a consumer standpoint a game released for a limited audience still beats a game that didn't get released at all.
Give me a signal if anything in this list hits the mark
- Cyperpunk (LOL)
- RDR2
- GTA V remastered
- FFVII R
... But we don't know when they're announcing it. For all we know they'll announce it next January for a spring 2022 release.
I wouldn't be surprised if Tales of Arise is one of those games considering how big the Switch is in Japan.
I think people are overlooking the benefit of the screen being native 720p when it comes to supporting current switch titles. Many of the Switch games that run at sub HD currently, probably run in docked mode at 720p dynamic at the worst. I expect the new switch to be able to run current switch docked mode visuals in handheld mode without much problems. If that is the case, I hope Nintendo will update the OS to allow current docked mode settings in handheld mode for the new system, which will give all of those games a free visual upgrade without input from developers from day one. If devs want to back to their older games and patch in even more improvements, that will be up to them to do so.
Wish they'd also increase the quality of the overall build. All I'm playing right now is Switch Lite and it's great, but it just feels so cheap compared to the Vita. The buttons in particular; poor quality and poor design.
Not necessarily. Dock means no power limits due to battery so the clockspeed can run higher.
Ayy, my take has been semi-confirmed :)
This is you right? Saying native resolution doesn't make that big of a difference and to think it does means that the person doesn't know anything about resolution? Because if it is you literally just outed yourself as the one whom is not understanding anything about resolution.
He literally explains how "native" 720p and 1080p content, content that is created at a resolution no higher than 720p or 1080p, when viewed on a screen with a much higher resolution than the 720p or 1080p content like one that is 4K is absolutely going to look worse. You then you try and get all cute with your reply and say something completely ridiculous like 4K content on a 4K screen looks "crisper" than 1440p native content on a 1440p screen? So basically, 4K > 1440p? No shit Sherlock, but how does that have anything remotely to do with what DongBeetle had to say?
I dislike the idea of upgraded versions having exclusive games. But thanks for the information and I guess we'll find out how many games will be exclusive. As long as those are all third party, I can play them on my Xbox or PS. Hopefully first party games won't be Switch Pro exclusive.
As something of an insider myself, I think you'll be very happy.
Lol, this is a completely different topic then the last few of my posts you quoted. I'm not even sure how to respond to this.
It seems to me DongBeetle was saying that 720p content displayed on a 720p display will look comparable to 1080p content displayed on a 1080p display. Which isn't true. The 1080p content on the 1080p display will be sharper. Since 1080p > 720p. To quote an intellect, "No shit, Sherlock." I don't get what your issue is.
Gross. I kind of hope they don't do well so we don't have to go through this in the future. I don't want people who spent 200-300 dollars on a system in the past 4 years, which has been promised to "just be in the middle of its lifecycle" to miss out on games, or have to buy another 300+ dollar system.
You must be looking at Switch Lite information, the official site and comparison shows 6.2 inches for Switch and 5.5 for Switch Lite.
