I thought Nintendo "fans" dont care about graphical fidelity yet deep down they want Nintendo to make beautiful looking games like ps

Who else is going to just wander aimlessly in Prime 4 for like 4 or 5 hours just soaking up the music and those glorious ambiant sounds?😊

The MP4 trailer did say “footage shown is under development” so it’s possible the visuals can be improved further

Fun fact if you listen closely at The End of the Prime 4 trailer you can hear a small theme of the ending theme of Metroid Zero Mission.

For me if the "Switch 2" make 2k on TV and 1080p on portable mode with 60 solid fps on almost all games for me the console its perfect...i dont think we need necessarely 4k to enjoy the beauty off the games

I STILL CANT BELIEVE METROID PRIME 4 IS REAAAAALLLL! I’ve been waiting 7 years for this…

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond already looks absolutely jaw-droppingly gorgeous. Besides, all I care about is the quality of the gameplay in video games, and legendary game franchises like Metroid and Zelda consistently deliver on high quality gameplay. And as far as the famously named " Switch 2 " goes, the same logic applies there, the quality of its video game library is what's going to matter the MOST. Everything else comes afterwards.

pretty sure Prime 4 is gonna blow everyone away when it comes out regardless if it's Switch or Switch 2 hardware.

Question: Will Last-Gen cartridges (Switch 1) receive visual/performance enhancements on Switch2/Attach? or would proprietary/New cartridges be the more desirable way to play 'em for a more evident advantage.

They might not even have the final look yet.. And probably still have some polishing to do on the game when it's done

How many people really care how reflective the water is, or how the grass looks in the wind? Are these features gamers should be clamoring to pay for? I would rather pay for games that are fun to play.

Great video Andres! I can’t wait for Nintendo to show us more of Prime 4: Beyond! 😊

I think your expectations are a little bit to high man, I'm not a tech expert, but based on the specs leaked, I don't think we should expect 4K resolution and specially we shouldn't expect Ray Tracing, Ray Tracing is just not happening, just because the GPU can support, ot doesn't mean it has the power to do that, so no, there is not going to be ray tracing on any future Nintendo game, maybe they will put SSR, but that's about it. 4K is also not realistic for this kinda game, DLSS I think is very realistic for this console, so maybe we will see the game at 1080p, upscaled to make the image more sharp, but not quite the same quality as 4K. I feel like this is going to be a very simple port for the new console, a better resolution and more consistent frame rate.

I heard this on KZfaq Andres. Nintendo is bringing out new switch 2 information in phases. Also Nintendo is bringing out the switch 2 name in phases.

Exactly! Great video.

Just a little bit of research shows that it’s going to be out on the switch. What you might not be able to find out for certain is if it’s going to be released on both.

I do find this kind of video to be potentially damaging. You are finding every small graphical fault with the, so far unfounded, idea that there will be a better looking version on the new console that fixes everything. I hope most people would take this as just a potential speculative take and not hold it against the game if this is the only version

Game Over in Breath of Fire 5: Dragon Quarter. Your character is possesed by the dragon god Ladon (iirc). Over time, his manephistation is growing inside you, as noted by the D-meter rising with every action you take. Let it hit 100% well, it should mean he's fully maniphested, right? Thats right, a full dragon. Inside you. Your character wreathes in agony, the background turns fully crimson red, your character is silloetted in black, and the Dragon God explodes out of your body as it comes to life.

This game is a year away there’s plenty of time for the visuals to be improved. We don’t even have a release date yet.

Unrelated question: are you ever going to stream again or is that done? I could use a good 2-3 hour AR stream.

The Switch 2 version will look better but the Switch 1 version is still the more impressive version to me. The fact that the game looks that insanely good for almost 10 year old hardware running at 60 fps is NOT EASY AT ALL. Getting a game to look this good at all is impressive, look at so much of the Switch’s other games, they look good, great even but this looks much better than pretty much anything else on the hardware. The PBR, materials, VFX, etc. look great and I don’t want to discount Retro’s incredible work here. Scrutinizing little details is fine of course but in the end for the most consumers the Switch 1 version still looks phenomenal for the hardware. Also there are some details like the quickly disintegrating bodies that are done even on much more powerful hardware to save resources, heck even Raytracing is hard to do while keeping 60 fps even on the most powerful consoles. Game development is a constant tug of war with how much can you get out of the engine and system before your performance starts to give. Currently Retro is handling that very well but we’ll see how far they go for the Switch 2 version.

How do you think the upgrade system would work? I can’t imagine they would make you rebuy it for the upgrades, maybe it’ll work like Playstation does it ($10-20)

I would keep expectations in check before we see anything. I’m sure it’ll look great but don’t want to be overhyped and then be somewhat disappointed.

Imagine buying a Gameboy color and you have to pay 5-10 bucks for your og Gameboy game to have color

Will you talk about the new Emio game? Now that it has officially been announced?

I don't know why everyone assumes that there will be a Switch 2 version. Or that it will have improved backward compatibility. Most likely, none will happen.

Mr restart 🎉🎉

Do we really want a hyper realistic Metroid? Sure it would look amazing but it could also be distracting you don’t want players losing focus by being distracted by flashy graphics.

I'n hoping prime 4 will be. a seitch game enhanced on the switch 2. Hopefully it's more like a new 3ds vs old 3ds thing and the switch 2 and switch will largely be compatible with newer games being enhanced (or eventually requiring) the switch 2.

Thank god those Metroid prime 4 images are not switch 2!!! I would have been super disappointed if the had been.

I just hope to God Nintendo bring a next gen patch to Prime 1 and Prime 4 to upgrade this textures and the lightning

Sadly I don’t have alot of faith that Prime 4 will sell too much better then Dread, infact it'll be a miracle if sells as much as Kirby & The Forgotten Land let alone reach Breath of the Wild level sales.

I’d rather them keep the internal resolution fairly low on Switch 2, like 960p and use dlss quality mode to output to 1440p (higher output resolutions sacrifice more performance on dlss), then use most of the extra power for better graphical effects

I would prefer uncompressed native 1080p than an upscale 1440p imagine. Upscale images from a lower resolution never tend to look good and have too many blurry and soft textures.

This is the hundredth time you’re saying you think there’ll be a cross-gen version.

I'm not impressed yet I need to see more game play

So I agree they shouldn’t have the Switch 2 have a competitive advantage if there’s online play, it what if they use that to try to incentivize people to buy the Switch 2? (playing devil’s advocate here, I don’t think they would)

Cool

Anyone sujesting switch 2 wont have loads of 4k games is full of shit

The next console is the smallest ever! Looks like a normal controller in plain sight 🎮 There is no screen! But each controller it has its own 8gb of ram and 1.4 tflop gpu. It wirelessly streams the game being processed inside the controller to smart T.Vs. and iPad app. It streams 1080p, not 4K. It’s only ~350 grams, half the size of a Docked Switch, yet “2x” as powerful. No more Joy-Cons or Dock support. Only backwards compatible with Switch games that support “handheld mode”. ‘1-2 Switch’ for example is NOT backwards compatible. (somehow able to run Switch handheld mode games at 1080p 60fps) $259 each console 🎮 $449 for a 2 Pack 🎮🎮 Switch Lite will start at $129 (basic Switch is discontinued) Switch OLED Bundle will be $299

I heard this on KZfaq that Nintendo said new games are going to take more time ⏲ to make now. Making new games is going to cost more money 💰. Probably due to inflation.

That is how things are in real life too when you’re on the road and you look out into the distance things get flat like they are a painting. You need touch grass more.

A whole lot of nothing but recycled clips again. No, I do not enjoy this content.

'graphical upgrades'? 🤣beyond will be on par with the remaster, nothing more. btw the ship intro is all cg
