Switch2 New News: Lower expectations, performance is not as powerful as expected!
NBA 2K24 became the second worst game on Steam
"NBA 2K24" suffered "bad reviews" 5 days after its release on Steam, with only 11% of players giving positive reviews, and is currently ranked second only to "Overwatch 2" in the bad review list.
Most of the bad reviews were for the PC version of NBA 2K24 based on the PS4 and Xbox One versions, not the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions. This meant that the game was visually inferior to the latest generation console version, and lacked certain modes, including "MyNBA" and "The W", and the open world in "MyCareer" mode was small.
"Pokémon" x "Hatsune Miku"
The seventh bullet of the Pokémon x Hatsune Miku project "Project Voltage 18 Types 18 Songs" was released, which is Hatsune Miku and Laplace of the ice attribute.
Pokémon x Van Gogh Museum
The Pokémon Company announced that it will cooperate at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. The specific content of the cooperation has not yet been announced, but a teaser video has been released.
Izanagi TGS2023 plan
Izanagi Games announced details such as the games that will be exhibited at the "Tokyo Game Show 2023" to be held from September 21 to 24, 2023. The two NS titles scheduled for release this year, Void Times: Alternate Time and Space Definitive Edition and Rain Soul – AMEDAMA-, will be displayed as demo games, as well as the latest trailer for the new game Dark Auction, which is in development.
About the new Nintendo machine
The famous Nintendo "uncle" Nate the Hate and the technical analysis media "Shumao Society" have talked about "Nintendo demonstrating the successor model of the Switch behind closed doors at the Cologne Game Show" in their latest episodes, first of all, this is a real thing, not speculation. Secondly, they all added a little to this:
Nate the Hate
-The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Enhanced Edition, shown by Nintendo behind closed doors, reached 4K/60FPS with DLSS on.
- The most important improvement of Breath of the Wild Plus is the loading time, which can reach the interval between fades and even seams. The hint is on more advanced storage media, such as 3D NAND.
- A single game capacity of more than 40GB on the new machine will become the norm.
- The DLSS used in the technical demonstration is a version that lacks some specific features, such as "frame generation" technology. It is only a matter of time before the new machine supports DLSS3.5.
- The Matrix: The Matrix Awakens technology demo shows ray tracing even more than the PS5 and Xbox Series.
-The combination of Unreal Engine 5 and DLSS on the new machine is great.
-The Nintendo Technology Demo was not a new machine, but the same environment simulated by a PC.
-"March 2024" (related to Nintendo) is repeatedly mentioned at the Cologne show, but the specific meaning is not clear, and it is likely to be the date when the new machine is announced, and it may also be the day when the new machine is released.
-If the new machine is released in March 2024, Nintendo will announce the new machine in the near future (very unlikely)
- There is still no clear message on whether it is compatible with existing NS games.
-Further news should flow out at the Tokyo Game Show in late September.
Counting Mao Society
- Since the impression of the technical demo comes from paraphrasing, they may have deviated from the actual comparison of the "Matrix: The Matrix Awakens" demo with the PS5 and Xbox Series, because there was a gap of 2 years between the two demos, and the effect of the technical demonstration did not represent the actual effect that Nintendo's new machine could achieve (the original PS3 technology demo on E3 was also very powerful, but the real performance was only half of the demo).
These reports seem to confirm that the chip used in the Switch successor is Nvidia's T239.
- The Matrix Awakens technology demo shows that Nvidia has better ray tracing performance than AMD.
- Unreal Engine 5 has evolved a lot over the past two years since the PS5/Xbox Series demo was released and is now more scalable than when the demo debuted. This engine is becoming "lightweight".
Adapting DLSS and Unreal Engine 5 on Switch is in the best interest of Nvidia and Epic.
《Picross S+》
Jupiter has announced that it is working on the Picross S+ NS version, which is expected to be released in 2024. This is a collection of 9 titles from Picross e1-e9 on the 3DS platform, based on Picross e, priced at $4.99, and each subsequent title in the 3DS series is released as a separate additional content pack for the same price. In each expansion, players can play 150 Picross and Mega Picross puzzles.
Slave Zero X
Today, it was officially announced that the game will land on NS on February 21, 2024. This is a 2.5D action game set in the world of Slave Zero in 1999, at the top of the megacity S1-9, the monarch Khan ruthlessly rules it with a fist of iron and blood. And beneath the city's decaying foundations, a vengeful warrior embarks on a journey to murder him. 5 years before the events of Slave Zero, Slave Zero X brought new life to the world. In this world, the terrifying living machines known as "slaves" are about to become the latest tools of war in the long and bloody history of mankind. A secret group of warriors known as the Guardians wants to prevent these creature mechs from being released into the world, but one of the swordsmen in their ranks has a different idea and wants to use the enemy's own weapons against them. By fusing with a stolen slave mech archetype, Shou will become an angry demon in his quest to kill a false god.
