Do the Nyxi joycons have any issues with it's hall effect joysticks, or are they perfect?

Seem perfect to me. I've yet to have any issues.

The simple way to put it is IR beam is betting blocked. It's really tiny, so it's easy for the slightest movement of the joycon to block the sensor from receiving it. It's been a bit since it happened on mine, but you have to keep reconnecting it while in the main menu until it recognizes it again. But also the Switch doesn't like the idea of you using controllers attached, and insists you like using them both in your hands. Even with it using the other one attached and still working perfectly fine. So you have to try it a few times.

Why is there an IR beam?

Man, I don't know what it's called. What ever the tiny light they use to check "is there a joycon here?" is called. File a drat IT ticket at Nintendo to ask them or something.

There's no IR beam connecting your joycons to the switch, pull one out and look at the underside of the bottom of the rail on the controller and you can see the pin connectors. The disconnect occurs when that connection is broken, usually as a result of too much force on the top of the joycon from a tight grip/forward hold on the system. I am noticing it happens way more on my OLED switch than it ever did on my original one but I am also trying to be more aware of my grip.

The Xbox Series S uses like 75 watts and the Switch like 15 max. There is no way the Switch 2 will be as fast as a Series S. It might be more efficient than a Series S, but not 5x more

If they go up very much from what they currently use, the system will run hotter and louder and either have less battery life or have to be bigger to accommodate a bigger battery. The current Switch has a pretty good balance between all of that and I don't think they'll want to change it too much. They already had to go through the whole process of making these decisions with the original Switch design. The CPU and GPU are always underclocked on the Switch. If they cared less about battery life and noise they would have run them at the speeds they were capable of.

Similarly, I bet they keep a 720p screen. Higher resolutions take more power to run, and 720p looks good enough at the current screen size.

I would not be surprised if they kept the 720 mobile/1080 tv specs. It’s a 6 inch screen! And 1080 is good enough for tv in most cases. But I would also be sorely disappointed if it ever downscaled to lower resolutions.

I do not give a poo poo about how much stronger the switch 2 is as long as it can actually run games and ports without frame dips and stuttering. That's it!

Since games like Resident Evil 4, Death Stranding, and Assassin’s Creed Mirage are coming to iPhone 15 what are the chances Nintendo will use similar technology for the Switch 2.

I guess that tech still doesn’t solve the battery life issue though.

I don't care how much stronger the Switch 2 is, many games and especially ports will have frame dips and stuttering.

All I want is new Nintendo games and things to look a bit better. More and faster storage would be nice, and I wish they would keep the OLED screen, but as long as they keep putting out great games I'll get it regardless.

If the infinite scroll does not slow the system down enough, Nintendo will do whatever it takes to make it so. Perhaps auto-loading videos as you try to go past.

It would be great if the more popular games got free upgrades like with some XSX and PS5 games. It would be nice to see Pokemon S&V run well at all.

Don't tell Nintendo, but I'd even be willing to pay a small upgrade fee if the upgrade is good enough
