Yeah they're only good and imo intended for portable play. If you're gonna play on a TV, why not play it on an emulator with those sweet high res mods?

I found FFIX to look just fine in handheld mode. Still noticeably a game from the 90s but the backgrounds weren't as jarring as they are on a TV.

I hope the revision, if it's real, comes with 'meatier' joycons. the lil' buttons and analog stick are too dainty.

I held a PS4 controller for the first time in months and it felt insanely good after playing handheld only.

And if they really make a version that's not detachable they better make those analog sticks better than the pieces of poo poo on the drat joycons.

I couldn’t get into it since most of their exclusives did nothing for me. Yakuza and Persona are dope though and I’d love to see them on Switch.

PS4 was my Uncharted box that became my Yakuza box. (Although King of Fighters exclusivity at the time sealed the deal for me.)

Switch is my Nintendo games box that also became my 'Indie games I ment to pick up 2 years ago but forgot till now' box. (As evidenced by me picking up Thimbleweed Park in that sale. Pretty good point and clicker till it kinda falls apart in the last 1/5th.)

DO YOU HEAR THAT? THAT'S THE SOUND OF ME PATTING MYSELF ON THE BACK.


Reminder that Nvidia never made a successor to the X1 and they exited the hand held market entirely and pivoted to car self driving systems and infotainment systems. It's unlikely that Nintendo would substitute a different ARM SoC in there since they are likely using a lot of Nvidia specific graphical optimizations. The X1 really isn't a candidate for a die shrink either since it's currently a 4 year old design that's not being actively developed anymore.

A "Pro" variant would likely just be one with a larger/better screen. A thicker footprint might also allow for a larger battery and better cooling that would allow it to run in docked performance mode while handheld.

There is more performance to be extracted out of the X1, but it's all about manipulating the power consumption and thermal envelop of the chip and there are likely hard limits what they could achieve in hand held mode without making it too unwieldy.

So, I see two "pro" options:

Larger 1080p screen (smaller bezels to keep the form factor approximately the same) with larger battery and better thermal management so you can run in docked performance mode all the time.

or

Something akin to a Shield TV console, allowing for better cooling and more power consumption so they can clock the chip higher. I would say that's unlikely though since it kinda ruins the whole "switch" aspect.

the wii u sticks felt better imo.

speaking of controllers, does anyone else have problems with their pro controller registering a left or right as up? I haven't got brutish ogre hands but it keeps happening.

I just saw FF7 Redux in the shop and LMAO it's not updated at all, it's still blocks with jagged parts.

I figured after 15 years of people demanding it they'd at least make it look like the PS3 era games.

They're doing a full remake, theoretically, it just won't be out till like 2024... conservatively

Oh yeah, I mean, I love simple artwork stuff, too. I'm just kind of amazed that the most over hyped game in the industry, from a studio that loves jerking itself off over graphics, stuck with ultra-simplistic 90's polygon art.

Like I would have bet solid money on it looking at least like the new Resident Evil 2.

Oh the reason there isn't a remaster is because all their source code got hosed in the 90s, lost or corrupted. They can only basically make this game as a port of the PC version which itself is pretty hosed, or wrapped in an emulator.
