Could be the successor, could be a Pro model.

The data is apparently from 2019 so it's hard to say.

Confirms DLSS though, so whenever we get a more powerful Switch (a Pro seems rather unlikely at this point) at least we have that to look forward to.

Question is how many developers will utilize it. DLSS is becoming more and more popular on PC, but it's still not universally used. That said, if it's available on a handheld system that kind of needs it to run properly at target framerates and higher resolutions, I can't imagine many devs would ignore it.

Just showing my new profile icon from the NSO app. Always liked Mario in his top hat and tuxedo.

@MarioLover92 I love how you had to block out that friend code because people spam invites.

@JaxonH No Majora's Mask image?

@Ryu_Niiyama Yeah, those random friend requests drove me nuts when I had my code in my signature. They would never let me know right on the NL boards, so because of that I'd delete the requests.

Continued Great Ace Attorney Adventures today (about midway through chapter 3) and I have some thoughts:
* MAEL STRONGHART IS GANTS ANCESTOR OH GOD NO I THOUGHT I LEFT YOU BEHIND YOU DEMON.

* The premise and execution so far is extremely interesting. The fact that the entire damn carriage is evidence is incredible.

* Breaking down the Jury is one of the most fascinating and awesome concepts put in an AA game. Makes you wonder why it took them over 14 years to put an actual jury in the series instead of just a judge but I'm not complaining in the slightest.

Very excited to see where this goes because oh my god is it interesting.

@Fizza In something of an interesting reversal from the original trilogy, chapter 3 is really, really good in both of these games.

Those new profile icons, backgrounds and frames you can buy on the Switch with platinum points are a really cool new feature.

I bought out everything they put up. And, so far it's just Mario Odyssey and Animal Crossing. Which, we already had plenty of those. But with them refreshing the list of games every month, and refreshing the characters every week for those games, this could result in some very unique portrait icons moving forward.

Which is exactly what we needed. More variety, more personalization. I hope we get Monster Hunter icons, Triangle Strategy icons, Kirby icons, Xenoblade icons, Fire Emblem Warriors icons, Bayonetta 3 icons, etc.

Give us the goods!

I lost a few units on chapter 2 and 1 unit on chapter 3 of Triangle Strategy. Is this a sign I need to turn down the difficulty or is losing units to be expected? Also am I missing something, it seems the recommended level is always higher than my actual level (e.g. my units were at level 1 at the beginning of the game but the battle said recommended level 2).

@Grumblevolcano
Not sure about recommended level. I wouldn't worry about it as long as you're not losing.

I lost a unit or two on the Chapter 3 battle. But it's like Fire Emblem on Casual Mode. Your units don't suffer permadeath, so as long as you win the battle it doesn't really matter how many units you lose.

There's two approaches with grid based strategy.

Permadeath: extremely difficult to balance and fine tune because a single death can result in a player restarting. Hence FE Three Houses having a time rewind mechanic to lessen the blow of a single mistake.

Non-Permadeath: difficulty should be much higher than if designed for Permadeath, because the player doesn't lose unless all their units die in a battle. So losing a few units should be common in battles to feel challenging. If you never lost a unit it would feel too easy.

They chose the latter. So I'd say that's normal.

I've been wondering something about these new icons: when I clicked on the Zucker one for Animal Crossing, it said it was for 34 days. Are these limited time?

@Fizza Yes, Animal Crossing characters are available for the month of their birthday and the Mario Odyssey ones rotate every week with the game changing to something else next month.

Fizza

@Grumblevolcano No, I mean like if you buy the icon, do you keep it or will it go away after that period of time?
