For once, Nintendo has gone the ‘same, but more powerful’ route

I personally dont get why they went with Nvidia again, they make cheap mobile processors and I doubt this one will be any different. Imo they should have gone with a low end AMD APU based on Ryzen 9000.

Backwards compatibility

They could have implemented a simple compatibility layer to play Switch 1 games

And rewrite the whole OS from scratch instead of using a battle-tested codebase existing since GBA?

Who would switch from arm to x86 when the whole market is moving into arm direction?

  • 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
  • 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
