The same person who leaked the existence of Metroid Dread assures that a Spanish developer has received the development kit for the successor to Nintendo Switch.

With the advent of the Steam Deck and the Rog Ally this thing had better kick ass. I'm not purchasing another shitty device just to play Nintendo IPs.

Nintendo hasn't competed on anything but Nintendo IP for years really.

So it begins again. People have been saying a Switch 2 is coming for over 4 years now. I'm sure it will eventually, but I'm still not sure about the rumors.

It had better have some decent power behind it this time. Iโ€™d say PS4 Pro level performance is the bare minimum for me to purchase another one.

I doubt it will be that powerful. Not even the ROG Ally reaches the power level of a PS4 Pro.

I just hope they leverage the latest chip manufacturing nodes so that the Switch 2 feels like a substantial upgrade compared to its predecessor, which was already outdated the moment it released.

I love how expansive the handheld market has become. From the Switch to the Steam Deck , to the Ally. If the Switch can get at least to the Rog Ally in terms of specs (with an OLED), Iโ€™ll definitely consider it. I think the best would be if their dock for the TV can include a GPU like ASUS has to increase the performance while on TV.

An "unknown Spanish developer". Maybe MercurySteam perhaps?
