Learnt from the ps2
There’s a way bigger market in having the cheapest hardware than there is in having decent hardware
Oh look, a modern new Pokemon game with the graphics quality of N64. Must be nice to shit out literally anything from their established IPs, knowing no matter how bland and dated they look, your rabid consumer base will eat it up.
Does that account for the fact that the graphics in almost all Nintendo games are dogshit?
Like even with running stupidly low resolution graphics it still won’t perform as well as a steam deck with much better graphics?
So there’s a chance the Deck and modern PCs could emulate the system pretty quickly. Thanks Nintendo!
Thanks to the rise in PC ARM CPUs (Apple Silicone and Snapdragon X), emulating the Switch (also ARM based CPUs) has become extremely easy and efficient. My windows PC needs 180W to emulate Mario Kart 8 at ~60fps while my MacBook Air M2 only needs 15W for better results.
My phone can emulate switch with less than 5W, although it’s not perfect in every game
please share, what’s your phone specs? what emulator? is there a guide or tutorial?
“What if we just build a clamshell hinge into the Switch 2 and make it small enough to fit into someone’s pocket?”
