Sources: Nintendo targets 2024 with next-gen console | VGC
From article:
According to multiple people with knowledge of Nintendo’s next-gen console plans, the company is likely to release new hardware during the second half of 2024, to ensure that it has ample stock available on day one and to avoid the kind of shortages seen with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Although specific details on the console are being kept closely guarded, those VGC spoke to indicated that the next-gen console would be able to be used in portable mode, similar to the Nintendo Switch.
Two sources VGC spoke to suggested that the console could launch with an LCD screen, instead of the more premium OLED, in order to bring down costs, especially considering the increased storage needed for higher fidelity games. The current Switch comes with just 32GB of internal memory, while many current-gen PlayStation and Xbox games are over 100GB.
It absolutely needs backwards compatibility. Throwing away the whole Nintendo Switch library would be a waste, and there are some games that would even benefit from improved performance.
I think they've said that it will have backward compatibility, and will access the to switch library. (I hope this is true also!)
original pokémon trilogy remastered would be amazing
so pokemon firered abd leafgreen but with worse performance, otimization, and world?
If it's on a new console who says the performance or world would be bad? With hardware that isn't 10 years old they could actually have a full world without the game chugging at 15FPS.
Also are you seriously gonna pretend like having the game be 3D is no different from Fire Red or Leaf Green? Lol
We just have low expectations since BDSP. But I wish more remakes were like Lets Go (minus ball throwing minigame)
