Well rams decent at least.
It’s the most Nintendo update to a system ever – they tend to bring it when they need to innovate, not when they iterate. I could see them doing a “Nintendo Switch 2 Pro” this generation – with a beefier body, better specs and larger screen – at a premium.
8core (vs 4 for switch 1) GPU
1536 cuda cores (vs 256 on switch) GPU,
12gb (3gb for system) RAM.
Hard to compare, but it seems to be a few times faster. Likely good for another 5 years for indie games anyway.

PS4 more or less not even a PS4 pro. Lol
Cpu specs are a bit surprising. Those clock speeds are incredibly low for a current generation CPU. The Z2 blows the CPU in this out of the water by multiple times.
This will be hacked in a month.

I’m a Nintendo doubter this gen but this is all standard Nintendo stuff. The are very conservative on the hardware tech specs and get creative on the play experience. They rarely if ever lose money on the hardware and this is in line with that.
Honestly it looks like those switch pro rumors were true and this is an upgraded version of that. It was never going to be a hardware beast.
Do we know how much the OS will take up storage wise yet? Going from 1tb micro sd on my switch 1 to just getting the extra 250gb micro sd express (so 500gb total) and just hoping it will last me at least 1-2yrs before upgrading so the expresses come down in price
People are too focused on the specs. What’s most important is that the specs are enough for what Nintendo’s goal is with the games that they want. Since the Switch was a success, Im sure its enough for what they want.
The only spec I need is how the new Zelda will look. I don’t care about anything else
It’s may be weaker than expected. But it’s gonna play games we didn’t expect to see on the switch. I never thought I’d see Elden ring or cyberpunk on the switch.
Also, game optimization and porting is supposedly very easy as it only took CDPR 7 weeks to port cyberpunk to the switch according to them. I feel there may be some kind of magic Nintendo did that we aren’t able to see.
We still don’t know anything about charging power and fast charging, do we? I anticipated myself and bought a 120W dual charger to be used as a backup. It can’t be more demanding than that, right? And there’s no way the NS2 won’t be compatible with it, right?
