@FargusPelagius I'm also asking myself why Nintendo and GFN haven't partnered up yet, would be a great deal.
My gut tells me somehow that 505 Games is in some form or antoher related to GFN - spinning up RTX-Servers isn't something you do from one day to another, this is a costly, complicated and serious technology.
I think the future will be a hybrid solution between native and cloud - if a good connection is available the local and cloud frame will be merged in order to offer a great experience.
Otherwise just display the local version. We already see steps in such a direction with DLSS - although thats another (offline) technology but also utilizes merging of local and precomputed information.
5G will definitely boost the streaming technologies, but it's a long way to have good coverage
I'm super excited to have this feature, I was hoping that one day the switch will be implementing this in some form. If your internet connection is reliable (with pretty average speed) you will get a nice experience. Also playing handheld is just gorgeous, also it doesn't need as much bandwidth, since the resolution is smaller, making it a perfect fit.
For those (@Moon), who are saying, that they can shut down the servers at any time - we have massive ammounts of multiplayer games, just look at GTA Online, CoD, etc. they could shut down the servers down at anytime too. So whats the point?
The only thing I would like to see is the ability to have my Save-Game transferred.
Hi, cloud-gamer enthusiast here! I'm super excited to see this! It is such a perfect move for nintendo to invest in cloud-gaming! It's just a dream come true for me!
I'm using Shadow, GeforceNow and streaming games from my PC to my TV via Nvidia GameStream.
I instantly bought Control on the switch and I'm super happy with it! What strikes me is, that it works really good via 2.4Ghz WiFi!
Having no 4k isn't such an issue for me and I guess it isn't for the most of the switch-users, GFX can't be that important to you if you play on the switch! Which is also why this move seems so perfect from Nintendo!
I also see this move as another hint for a new switch coming, since 4k docked is rumoured, which makes sense with streaming 1080p and scaling it up. But you would also need to upgrade the WiFi hardware of the switch. Who know, maybe we get a SIM-Slot for it too? Maybe 5G, which is just perfect from Cloud-Gaming due to its low-latency! I don't think so, but dreaming is allowed!
With all this Cloud-Gaming Services coming up like Stadia, Shadow, GeforceNow, Luna etc. with all the hurr-durr around it, it puts a smile on my face how nintendo just sneaks up from behind!
Docked you can play 4k with better then XBOX/PS4 Graphics WiFi + Portable you can play HD with better then XBOX/PS4 Graphics On the plane you can Play offline, high quality games

Re: This Powerful Portable Console Has Us Dreaming Of A Nintendo Switch Pro
Why is everyone calling it the Switch Pro?
Pro models are released alongside "normal" models, just like "Lite" versions. This isn't any different from the Smartphone sector...
This is super confusing for people who aren't involved as much. We should really call it like the Switch 2 or something like that
