@TheFullAndy But to do 4K DLSS it would require a completely new SoC. The current Tegra chip doesn't support that tech. So new CPU/GPU will be inside. Might warrant a bigger chassis.

@Burntbreadman The screen is going to be bigger which means the console's chassis will be bigger too. Which means they can fit a slightly longer battery in there.

While i do believe Nintendo are working on a successor to the current Switch model, I don't think these specs make any sense.

Why would they make a new console with a higher spec CPU and higher spec GPU just to give it the same low resolution of 720p? It just doesn't add up.

It would make more sense to go with a 1080p handheld res and a 4K docked res using DLSS.

They're taking those games off-sale so that they can re-sell them again in a few years time as Switch Pro titles XD

@Beatrice and here is a perfect example of that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FU2bQPITVKs

Was definitely underwhelmed by this Direct. Especially after Mario got 2 whole collections of games for his 35th Anniversary. Zelda just got 1 game. And its strange because Wind Waker and Twlight Princess HD should be easy to port over to the Switch. Meanwhile, they could have had Grezzo work on HD remasters of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.

What would be really awesome is if they released Wind Waker HD on the Switch and added one of the extra dungeons that never made it to the original release.

As for TP, I'd love to see that on Switch too. And I hope Nintendo secretly has Grezzo working on HD remasters of OoT and MM for Switch.

Given that the story of AoC seems more like an alternate universe rather than canon to BotW, I think I might skip this DLC. The main game was far too grindy and repetitive IMO. I loved the cutscenes and the voice acting but at the end of the day, it just seemed like the whole thing was fan fiction.

Nintendo needs to partner with these guys to do Donkey Kong Country 1, 2 and 3 HD remakes

Damn that Ocarina of Time HD looks so crisp and clean, I love it!

I enjoyed the cutscenes and the voice acting but the gameplay got really boring and repetitive towards the end. I'd rate it 75/100

And here's what Ocarina of Time could look like on hardware that isn't 4 years out of date: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhpzaViVdKQ

@Steel76 that would be awesome but I see no mention of it being advertised for both. I only see the Xbox logo at the end of the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S--lFTxAVs8

Keeping the new Perfect Dark title exclusive to Xbox consoles will severely damage the franchise’s chances of becoming well known to this generation’s gamers. If they were to go multi platform or even bring the game out on PC as well as Xbox, it would have a chance to grow. Even more so if they brought a portable version to Switch

I prefer to play Switch on TV at home with the Pro controller but it is nice to have the option of making it portable when I go travelling.

Hell yeah! I tried playing the original SS on a modern 4K tv recently and it was soooo damn blurry. I’d love a graphically crisp clear version on the Switch. It would be a day one purchase for me

The Champions amiibos were the most pointless ones to be added to the game. Each one unlocked a helm that gave you the exact same abilities that the Gerudo headbands gave you (heat resistance, cold resistance, lightning resistance, swim speed increase). They didn’t even combine abilities with the matching ancient armour components. Such a missed opportunity.

Sorry, not gonna buy a remastered game that looks tons worse than the original that I already have on PC

The most appealing thing Nintendo could add to their online service is an N64 library and Gamecube library

I think Nintendo should commission Playtonic to make the next DK Country game

Nintendo fans be like “Hey Nintendo, could we get some more HD Zelda remakes and a Metroid Prime Trilogy HD remake?” And Nintendo be like, “Nope, f*** you, play more Mario.”

This just proves how close they are to going bust. If they close temporarily they’ll go out of business

Bahahaha Nintendo communicating with fans xD

It’s been a year and a half since the last Nintendo Direct ffs!!

No! Proper botw graphics engine or bust

Sure they won’t be releasing it this year but March 2021 sounds likely.

Playing a 4K non-blurry Zelda Skyward Sword remake (without motion controls) would be a most welcome ‘new experience’ to Nintendo fans. Just saying...

@Duncanballs Yeah probably. The Switch has another 2 years left in its current lifespan. Nintendo always releases a new console every 5 years and we're almost up to 3.

Lol says it has no plans to cut prices then cuts prices for Black Friday and January Sales to compete with Xbox and PlayStation. Good one Nintendo

I would love it so much if the Yooka Laylee devs got contracted to make the next set of Donkey Kong Country games

Why would anybody buy a Switch Lite when there's a perfectly 'un-gimped' version already on the market that is cheaper than an xbox or PS4?

@impurekind I think what Sega are trying to do here is make the game like their old Street of Rage comic books and copy that art style.

I absolutely loved Conker's Bad Fur Day and would defo buy a HD remake of it on Switch if given the chance.

Also loved Goldeneye, Perfect Dark and Killer Instinct.

@BlueOcean Same, Zelda's voice was over-acted, Mipha's voice was under-acted. Urbosa was pure gold though.

Ha! Sweet! The original was one of the first video games i played back on the Commodore 64

I played and completed this game on the N64 back when it was first released. It was average then and its even more lacking now XD

It's not an upgrade until it has an 8" screen and can do 1080p 60fps in portable mode with slightly bigger joy-cons

When the REAL successor to the Switch comes out I hope it can handle 4K resolution @ 60fps when docked and 1080p 60fps when portable otherwise Nintendo are wasting their time. Stretched low res images with jaggies should not be a thing in this day and age.

I love my current Switch to bits but i wish it looked better on modern 4K TV's. I want to believe... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_Qmig8nf3A&feature=youtu.be&t=45s

Can't say i've ever had a problem with joy-con control sticks drifting. I never use the ones on the console anyway. I play mostly at home with my Switch while its docked so i'm 99% of the time using the Pro Controller which is waaaaay more comfortable than the smaller ones ever were.

@nintendoknife

If this is what a fan can do with decent hardware, imagine what Nintendo could do:

I want to believe...

Why the hell would anybody want a gimped Switch? The regular Switch can't even do full 1080p in BotW while docked and we're quickly moving into a 4K resolution era. Walk into a hardware store and check out the huge majority of 4K TV's for sale compared to the very few 1080p TV's. We need a BETTER switch if anything - one that can do 4K 60hz / 60fps at least. Nintendo's jaggy, pixelated, low res textures are getting old real fast. We're living in a era where parents are buying their kids $1000 phones. Do you really think people will complain about a $400 console that can keep up with modern day TV's?

Gimped Switch = crap Switch. Nintendo would have done better to work on the Switch Pro

Hope the government bans loot boxes altogether. I don't mind paying outright for cosmetic sets or maps or DLC. But forget that 'chance' element of getting something lousy in a loot box.

Gimped Switch for the loss

Since its using BotW's assets and engine i'm guessing we'll see a 2020 release date for this sequel. Can't wait!

$200 for the Zelda HD Collection that includes:-

Ocarina of Time HD
Majora's Mask HD
Wind Waker HD
Twilight Princess HD
Skyward Sword HD

Such a shame to see one of the best dev studios of its time be completely destroyed by Microshaft and their shady tactics. The only reason Microshaft bought majority of shares in Rareware was purely to steal them away from Nintendo. Because they literally did jack with the company once it became theirs. They just lit a match and watched it slowly burn, content in the fact that Nintendo had lost its strong right arm.

The only thing wrong with this movie so far is the garbage sonic model
