Hoping the Pro model has higher output because I'm playing Xenoblade 2 and the game is ugly as sin on a 4K TV.
The Pro should be powerful enough to deliver steady 720p on handheld on most games and 900+ on docked. Basically a steadier resolution and framerates. That's more than enough for me. A native res Xenoblade 2 on handheld would look absolutely gorgeous.So yeah they are coming this year.
People really need to stop expecting much out of the "pro" model. Setting yourself up for disappointment.
Two friends approached me a few days ago and asked if they should buy a Switch now or wait a little more. Told them to wait for E3 and now at least one of them is looking to buy now.
Should I tell him to wait? How reliable are these rumors? I'm very conflicted on this right now.
That's definitely a thought I had as well! I'll try to keep myself from expecting too much before we get a full gameplay reveal.BOTW2 May also look better because Nintendo isn't dealing with a Wii U release. Maybe they are using the Switch specs better?
And now the thread's gonna light up, you know this right?
And now this thread will grow by at least 3 pages. ^^
I mean, there's too much smoke for the portable version in 2019 ... i think (at least for me) the big news is that the pro is also closer to reveal/release.
A few months for both models or 1 model?
Oh shit
If both seem to be starting production, both.
!
Again, this isn't news. The WSJ has been saying that the pro is coming in 2019 for months now. As have other outlets like Bloomberg.
I still don't get why everyone doubts that, yet assumes they're right about the mini.
I'm absolutely certain that there were some reports about the pro not being planned/scheduled for 2019.
I don't believe s*** unless Nintendo announces it.
This discussion about a revision is going on for a long while now, first it was summer then it changed to "wait for E3" now that has passed they are saying supply chain has changed and production is started...........
I'll say it again I don't believe s*** unless Nintendo announces it.
(Buying Pro version if it ever happens btw.)
Neato.
Wall Street Journal is not a gaming rag. They don't report garbage rumors.These rumors may never be substantiated. It's constantly getting closer with no actual confirmation. "New Switch versions coming this year. The new Switch models have begun production. The new switch models have released and you just can't see them."
Lighting should have looked better regardless. Running on Switch, not Wii U anymore.Where there's smoke, there's fire. Wonder *if* there's a Pro version if that recent BotW2 reveal was running on that.
EDIT: Although they did plenty of early bullshots with BotW in the years leading up to its release so I guess I shouldn't put too much thought into it. Just thought the BotW2 reveal had some better than previous lighting it seemed.
So after the female Link debacle i don't believe anything she says.
The display is already 100% sRGBI'm okay with 720p on PRO for performance on handheld. Insted I want laminate display and better display with rich color coverage (100% sRGB is my dream).
What?So after the female Link debacle i don't believe anything she says.
Do you have any idea why they (apparently) delayed it from an early Summer release ?I could understand skepticism if we were talking about rumors from some small video game website or 4Chan or a Twitter rumor monger or a youtuber.
But WSJ, Bloomberg, Nikkei, and Eurogamer are all major outlets who have reported on this. I'm not sure why anyone would believe all of these outlets are wrong about revisions coming.
I'm more interested in the pro model than the mini and all those outlets kinda made me question if pro model will make this yearI could understand skepticism if we were talking about rumors from some small video game website or 4Chan or a Twitter rumor monger or a youtuber.

List of things that are not happening:The timing of this and the fact that there are two models in the works makes me wonder if the leak that Papagenos put out about a Switch in 2020 with a 1080P OLED, a 5G modem, and a 512 CUDA core SoC in 2020 to hedge against PS5/Scarlet.
JOLED will be putting out very cheap OLED panels by end of year and Nintendo has already had relationships with Japan Display and Panasonic (who are both invested parties in JOLED), and Nvidia just signed that deal for making chips on Samsung's new 7nm node, which may be more ideal for power-constrained SoCs than high end enterprise chips.
Because it's not true. First they said summer, now they're trying to weasel out of that.
