A few days ago, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 announced a jump ticket.
Previously aimed at launching in 2022, it has now been postponed to spring 2023.
According to the official reasons given:
It was because the production found that the content was richer than previously expected, so it took more time to polish.
It was decided to postpone the launch of the sequel to The Legend of Zelda.
After waiting for so long, the postponement was postponed, and the player friends must be a little depressed.
But after watching the trailer clip of the new work in the second half of the postponed video, eh, this spirit came again.
Because, this video may be hiding news about Nintendo's next-generation game console Switch Pro.
The picture quality of the game in the video is much clearer than that of the original game, and the anti-aliasing effect looks very good, and the existing Switch cannot achieve such an effect at all.
Therefore, many netizens judged that this video should be recorded on the next generation of Switch.
It's also the legendary Switch Pro.
To be honest, when I saw this news, the hero was numb.
Because this Switch Pro, really passed on for many years, before the Switch OLED version was released, it was passed on.
But in 2021, we see the Switch OLED version, and the resolution, processor and other hardware have not changed.
It's just that the screen is bigger and uses a better OLED screen, but the ancestral 720p has not changed.
In fact, it is no wonder that Lao Ren always squeezes toothpaste, after the Switch OLED was sold, the sales volume reached 7% of the total sales in 2021 in one week, which was similar to the sales volume of the previous month.
There are many people who complain, but there are also many people who buy.
So, after the release of the Switch OLED version, gossip began to spread various upgrades of the Switch pro.
Do you remember that at the end of February this year, there was a hacking group Lapsus$
Publicly announced:
They have hacked into NVIDIA and stolen more than 1TB of classified data.
Lapsus $ wanted a ransom, but Nvidia did not give it, so it directly released the confidential data in the follow-up.
Among the public NV confidential files, there is a directory called NVN2 and a directory called NVNDLSS. (NVN means 3D graphics API for developing programs on the NX platform)
A brand new chip code-named T239 was even discovered.
And that's not all, and then some developers continue to dig deep into the files.
Discover that the new Switch console uses NVIDIA's Ampere GPU, which supports ray tracing and DLSS 2.2.
Therefore, netizens speculate that this may be the graphics API used by the next generation of Switch, and it is likely to support DLSS and light chase at the hardware level.
Other breaking news about SwitchPro include:
The screen may most likely continue the Switch OLED version of the 7-inch OLED screen, the screen resolution is either 720p, or 1080p.
To be honest, if the new machine to be released in 2023 is still 720p, I think; the old Ren is likely to be beaten.
Performance:
According to reports, the next generation of new machines will be equipped with an NVIDIA chip based on 5nm or 7nm.
With A78 CPU + Ampere GPU, the performance is more than the previous generation, there is also a big upgrade, the picture will be clearer and smoother.
Regarding the release date, many bloggers are predicting that it will be released in the spring of 2023 with Zelda Legends: Breath of the Wild 2, while being compatible with the old NS.
Regarding the next generation of Switch's consoles, there will be new revelations every once in a while.
Yes, most of the previous release times also pointed to the period of late 2022 and early 2023.
Therefore, the possibility that we will see the next host next spring is still very large.
