@NotTelevision Yeah, pretty much. Rumours were especially rampant during the Nintendo drought of summer 2016. The battle between Eurogamer's NX is a hybrid rumours vs. some other rumours that NX was going be some home console that's more powerful than PS4.
My turn.
I think the switch pro or glow or even tinky winky la la Poe will come out winter 2022.
Games will or aim to run 1080p and 60fps.
And it will have more powaa and knuckles
@1UP_MARIO I’d buy the Switch Tinky Winky La La Poe day one if it had sparkly buttons that were all different colors. But if any were the same color, it would be a hard pass for me. #UncensoredButtons

@DannyBoi But they haven't been any more quiet than usual? They haven't had a general direct in October, November, or December in years, and rarely do they have one in January. A five-month gap there is business as usual. In fact, us getting the Pokemon Direct, smash announcements, and a December Indie Direct is far more communication than in the past. I'm still thinking April is the most likely, but I'll concede that March, or even February could see one.
Anyways, as for my take on the inevitable Switch Pro discussion, I think:
CPU/GPU: Custom SoC based on Turing or Ampere architecture and the X1 design.
RAM: 4 GB at approximately 30 GB/s bandwidth (up from 24 GB/s)
Onboard Memory: 128 GB
Display: Identical to normal
Release Date: September 2022
Price: $320 (Normal drops to $270, Lite to $170)
Basically, we'll see an improvement in memory bandwidth rather than the usual mid-gen up in memory itself that the previous refreshes have, as more games are bandwidth locked than anything. Additionally, we'll see a slight improvement to both power and battery life due to a newer architecture. And finally, they'll actually quadruple the onboard storage. This would deliver an experience that will help many existing games come closer to hitting their targets, but not be anything huge or require a huge price increase.
EDIT: Oh and to clarify, despite using Turing I don't expect it to have the dedicated RayTracing cores included, considering GEForce 16 GPUs didn't get those either.
@DannyBoi Again... why would DMC3 be connected to a direct? It's a rerelease of a 15-year-old game, and every announcement tied to it has come through their Twitter.
@Grumblevolcano Oh yes, I've seen plenty of those in my news feed. I generally ignore them. I'm interested in the PS5 especially, but it'll be some time before I pick one up. By the time I grab one, it'll have WAY more than its launch lineup to offer. XD
@Buizel IMO what's more dangerous are the people who are sour about something not coming true when it was merely a zero-evidence rumor to begin with.
@1UP_MARIO I know you're joking, but I really hope nothing is ever named after the Teletubbies. XD Those things are terrifying.
Speaking of Switch Pro, do you guys think Nintendo will ever let us play N64 and GameCube games through Nintendo Online like they already do with the Nes and Snes? With how Sony and Microsoft are pushing the retrocompatibility thing hard for next Gen I think Nintendo is maybe lagging behind. Now, the Switch already has most if not all the worthwile WiiU games, I doubt anyone wants to play Wii games again so the only ones left are the GameCube and N64 though I really don't see why anyone would want GC compatibility. Anyway I think it's safe to say Nintendo's next console will 100% be compatible with the Switch carts.
