Nintendo Working on Next-Gen Switch Powered by an NVIDIA SoC

Nintendo could release its next-generation handheld game console, a successor to the crazy-popular Switch, by 2024. This could be powered by an NVIDIA-sourced SoC. NVIDIA recently put up a job listing for a "Game Console Developer Tools Engineer," looking for talent designing the software development applications for the next-generation console. Nintendo is a long-standing customer of NVIDIA chips for its handheld consoles. The next-gen SoC could implement an NVIDIA-designed Arm CPU, and a highly efficient GPU based on the NVIDIA graphics architecture of the time.

Tiggerbehave. you are the one who was getting pantsy not me. /ignored bye
Behave. Who do you think you are? I didn't get "pantsy with you". You said something false, I corrected you, and you decided to talk about panties. Next time try "oh, right" instead. It might work for you. I don't want to fight. Have a nice day.

He's not going to see your response. See, when he said "/ignored bye", that means he clicked on your profile and then clciked the ignore button and POOOF, just like that, you're gone from his view. And as I said before, YOU started it. Had you not started a fight with and continued to provoke him, then there wouldn't be this unpleasant nonsense going on. Now quit reacting with your ego and pride, let it go and stop trying to get in the last word.

I said polite things in response to him until he started attacking me, panties etc. Saying the Switch isn't the most popular console of all time, is not an attack. HE started it. I also didn't continue to provoke him, you said yourself, he wanted the last word, my last word was have a nice day, his last words were repeating attacks against me. Behave. Bro. Panties etc. You are now attacking me as egotistic and proud apparently. Have a nice day :)

See PM.

lexluthermiesterSo keep reading. Gamers want a faster version of the Switch too. You failed to understand the context of what I said. That's on you.

That is an opinion and subjective with it. Could it use and update? Sure, and no one is going to say they don't want better specs. But do gamers need better specs? Not really. Games on the Switch are of exceptional quality and are a ton of fun. Super high end specs just aren't needed anymore, unless you want raytracing at 4k. And to be fair, with Nintendo researching new hardware based on NVidia tech, the next iteration of the Switch might just have RTX at 4k. That would kick ass! Outside of those two features?....
All of your replies have been subjective. What I've stated regarding Devs - objective. Switch games are of exceptional quality? Gofh, and have a nice day.

No, it's subjective hearsay, without citation.

Yes, most are. STFU and get knotted. Oh, have a nice day!
(See? I can do that too..)

And even with citations it would be a subjective opinion of some random dev. Nothing more.

True. Let's be fair, if a citation of a dev complaining of reaching the limits of the Switch hardware had been presented, that argument would have plausibility. Without a quote though, it's just some guy saying something about how he feels, which is as we both said, subjective opinion.

lexluthermiesterWhich version of the Shield? The first one had a Tegra3 SOC. The NS has a slightly customized version of the TegraX1.


With the exception of the WiiU, every one of the systems you just named are among the top selling systems of all time. Even the GameCube closely matched the OG XBox.

Actually, YOU started the aggression, the rest of us were just conversing.


Yes he does and I'll join him. Take Tigger's advice, don't get your panties in a bunch and chill the hell out.


aktpu did not quote you and therefore the context of my response was directed exclusively at their comment. I wasn't responding to you at all, so you taking issue with my comment was not needed. You're right though, water under the bridge.


However, this I'm going to directly respond too: Silliness. The Switch is an excllent piece of hardware. It's specs are STILL reasonable and provide for an excellent gaming experience which is why it has remained popular with gamers. It's starting to get a bit dated which is why Nintendo is working on a new version. However, they're in no hurry because they don't need to be. Gaming is not all about hardware specs like it once was because hardware has become so powerful that making amazing games no longer needs top-of-the-line, bleeding edge hardware.

So any upgrading Nintendo offers with a new version of hardware will take the already excellent experience to a new level.
Just because its sold doesnt mean its getting serious dev core games from 3rd parties, I mean the PS2 and XB got plenty of support, what about the Wii/U, DS/3DS?

I owned a Genesis and 32X, then a Dreamcast, which if the 32X had better Support would have thrived. Saturn damaged Service Games.

The Dreamcast was Superb, could of evolved if they used the naomi pcb and included a firmware update to make the GDRom into a DVDRom.

It used a Hitachi SuperH with a PowerVR/Imagination Technologies Kyro GPU. Pretty bad ass for 98-2000 Hardware. Just too bad Kyro (XFX/Pine) didn't flourish to compete with ATi and nvidia then.


I'd really like to see a PowerVR/Imagination Technologies discreet PC GPU to put the rest on notice.
