When will the Nintendo Switch 2 release?ĭespite being Switch 2 cynics, we'd still love to get one if it offered these features: Because if not, this might force the Japanese gaming company to upgrade, even if only slightly. Perhaps this means that it has stockpiled several of these last Tegra Chips for its own use. However, NintendoLife reported that Nintendo had doubled its 2019 spending on raw materials. But as we saw with the hybrid console, that doesn't mean it can't be innovative in other ways.Īt any rate, it seems that Nvidia is no longer producing the Tegra Chip used in Switch, Switch Lite, and Switch OLED (thanks PCMag). So unless Nintendo suddenly decides to change its usual course and go after the latest tech, we can assume any potential Switch 2 will be behind the curve technically. Not to mention that it used the Nvidia X1 Tegra Chip, which was already outdated at the time. ![]() More recently, we saw another example of Nintendo using older tech with the original Switch which launched with only a max of 1080p resolution in TV mode despite 4K being common. Anecdotally, staying behind tech-wise was one of the reasons why the N64 was a commercial failure despite leaving a strong and impactful legacy. This has been happening for years like back in the day when Nintendo decided the N64 would still use cartridges while Sony decided to use modern CDs on its brand new PlayStation system. ![]() It's also long been Nintendo's style to work with older (far less expensive) technology to create unique gaming experiences. This is partially why it has far outsold any other console in the last couple of years and is one of the top five best-selling consoles of all time. ![]() Instead of competing with the latest tech like Sony and Microsoft, it tends to focus on a unique family-oriented playing experience that doesn't cost as much. Nintendo holds a very interesting place in the gaming industry.
