You do not buy a Nintendo console for the specs
You buy a Nintendo console because you want to play the latest Zelda game.

Zelda alone sells consoles.
>>
>>59225004
The thing is, Nintendo consoles are always so low hardware and get emulators out for them in such a short time, you can mostly play every game of a current Nintendo console emulator while the console itself is still on the market.

There's no real reason to even buy a Nintendo console anymore, just wait a few months and you can play the games on your computer.

If people aren't buying Switch because of the graphics, what makes you think they bought Wii U?
>>
>>59225170
This kind of assumes that someone has the computing power to play on an emulator, and CEMU is kind of a shitshow right now compared to Dolphin or PSX. So if your only goal is "play zelda," and there are maybe 2 zelda titles per console cycle, that's $300 + $120, so $420 to play zelda compared to at least $600 to emulate reasonably well.
>>
>>59225297
What are you talking about, CEMU plays almost everything fine now, are you a Nintendo fanboi being butthurt? Because you are making this shit up,.

Bad news for you, anon
>>
>>59225314
>CEMU is kind of a shitshow right now
CEMU is far better than Dolphin actually, because the Wii U game library is much smaller, they have optimised it per game greatly, games like Xenoblade Chronicles X, Splatoon or Super Mario 3D World at 1080p, 60 frames locked, on CEMU with a 5 year old AMD FX shitbox with a R9 380 works great.

Also, who doesn't already have a computer at least this powerful? Only thinkpad/linux fags or actual console fanbois, those who don't know better or are not interested in it anyways.

Holy shit, turbo kek, thanks anon

>>59225349
I have trouble with xenoblade on my i5+1070 build. Maxing out at 30fps which is just a frame cap, but cutscenes are fucked even though I'm running off a SSD

>>
>>59225349
i tried cemu once recently, it ran splatoon just barely at what could be considered playable speed on my 7850
as in, it runs and i completed a few stages, but it's uncomfortably slow
it'd probably be fine if the emulator had a frameskip option, as the framerate itself is ok, but the game simulation is slowed down because they're tied together
>>
>>59225318
>almost
It runs like shit on most computers, and I doubt anyone sane is going to waste $1200+ on pc parts just to emulate a nintendo console of all things
>>
>>59225400
>I have trouble with xenoblade on my i5+1070 build. Maxing out at 30fps which is just a frame cap, but cutscenes are fucked even though I'm running off a SSD

Xenoblade is a solid 30 for me. Less demanding games like Super Mario 3D World are fine at 60 FPS even when using 1080p patch.
Sure you are using the latest CEMU? I know CEMU was still shit until a few months ago.

>>59225412
Frameskip is no fix for anything, it will just make the experience worse. Mostly included as a temporary fix by most emulators.

I haven't had any problems with Splatoon, seriously, all the games I play on CEMU are 10/10 in terms of performance.
>>
>>59225453
>a 5 year old AMD FX shitbox with a R9 380 works great.

kek, more like 300 bucks

obviously waste your 400 bucks to play Zelda on the real thing instead of wasting it on a PC that has a library that's over a thousand times bigger and still an emulate
>>
>>59225461
frameskip can help get the game simulation speed up
the game ran at around 30fps, but since it's normally a 60fps game, the simulation is half normal speed, moving around is all slow-motion
i'd be fine with 30fps if the simulation was normal speed, so a good frameskip would fix my problem

(ps. i understand that frameskip isn't very straghtforward to implement in an emulator, so i'm not complaining)

If you care that much about graphics go watch a movie or something.

>>59225719
Nobody is asking for a GTX 1080 in the damn thing but we do want a console that will be able to run the new releases and demanding titles. That's why consoles get replaced in the first place: they need more power for the new video game demand.
>>
>>59225719
>>59225811


But obviously it's fucked if their own launch game and first party title runs at 720p and 20 FPS in 2017.

I don't even think anything on the PS3 or Xbox 360 did that and Wii U was already surpassing them in hardware specs, Switch is literary a backstep.
>>
I can run CEMU on my laptop just fine. You fags must be doing something wrong. Nvidia runs better than AMD with cemu so that might be why.
>>
>>59225827
Yeah that's not acceptable. Being able to play Skyrim should not be a fucking selling point for a console in 2017.
>>
>>59225837
As said, even I have an old AMD setup with an AMD GPU and it runs great.

The point of the Skyrim port is that it'll be portable.

That's the point of a LOT of things about the Switch.

>>59225869
The GPD Win could get 40-50 frames in Skyrim without disabling all the eyecandy, obviously now we also know that the Switch actually runs slower than it in portable mode too and still has less battery life then the Win.

So it's not doing a very good job being a good portable console.

A console that will be outdated in performance one year after release, just like PS4/XO. You see, the problem here is that consoles don't have too much going for them nowadays, unlike back in the PS2 era and before when consoles actually played an important role in CG development.

This all could be solved maybe if companies stopped producing consoles/games for consoles and focus exclusively on the PC market (which is quite slim) but, from a business viewpoint it's a no-no.

>>59225827
Seeing how underpowered it is I'm really worried about what are people at Nintendo really thinking. Then again, assuming Switch is the heir to 3DS/DS and also assuming they won't release another console to follow WiiU then I guess we can't ask too much for it as it's focus lies entirely on mobileshit.

Now, I'm actually impressed that UE4 now supports Switch.

Yeah, I don't buy fucking consoles. Just saying that within this peasant console race, you might as well give hardware that is somewhat reasonably close to the other platforms. I'm not playing Mario any more.

>>59225869
>That's the point of a LOT of things about the Switch.
I agree, but it's still abysmal. They should have pushed for the Pascal architecture. If they just don't give a shit, they need to make development on the Switch REALLY FUCKING EASY. And I mean easy. Give development toolkits, make publication simple, get a Steam-esque store started where people can publish their games and get voted into the market, et cetera. The Wii U had zero titles and the inefficiencies of Nintendo is showing.
>>
>>59225988
>Now, I'm actually impressed that UE4 now supports Switch.
It also supports iOS and Android, that's nothing special, it's just an engine, you can easily make games on it that look like uther shit but still run at 60 frames on old shitty android phones

Their own console can't even properly run their own first party title.

That's the case though, Devkits for the Switch are insanely cheap (Like $500) and Nintendo's willing to put just about anything on the eshop now. Hilarious shift from their usual tone.

>outdated in a year
Better outdated in a year than outdated 2 years ago. That is unless they take the initiative to make porting easy. No more, "You call me or I call you and we have a meeting about it" bullshit. Make development and publishing tools PUBLIC AND READILY AVAILABLE. Nintendo needs to not fuck around with this.

>>59226046
Unity is supposed to support it soon as well. UE4 titles are rarely ever going onto anything but a PC though. The projects all start off with compile times of 10 minutes and executable sizes 300mb+ right off the bat. It's a big problem and their Paper2D crap isn't worth talking about. UE4 isn't very modular unless you want to spend 8 months developing on it.

Well to be fair the Wii was a motion control gimmick devices. Not too many games can be ported to it without some heavy modification to its codebase. Yeah, you can just use a standard controller layout, but nobody bothered. If they establish good dev tools and really push it forward to developers that you can always publish your fun crap to this device, nobody will say no.

Which is why Android just needs to *thoroughly* win the mobile gaming segment.
>>
>>59226451
Never 100% but of course you can get games that use a lot of the processing power on a current smartphone or console or even a PC GPU. Not saying all usages are "sensible" by everyone's standards, but they can.

The question in my mind still is why Nintendo released a gaming console that's featuring years-old hardware worse than many a current Chinese smartphone or tablet.

you're not thinking like a parent. My parents had cash to throw at me, I was an only child, so my 10th birthday was "do you want a gaming pc (turned out to be a dell lol) or a ps2"

A lot of parents can't afford that, and don't have the time to put into it. Library size isn't a factor because they think the kid won't play it a lot, or will outgrow it, or whatever. Think like Nintendo. Sell shit to parents who don't care as much as you do about consumer technology and don't want their kids torrenting stupid shit

yeah my gameplay is 29-30fps, but all cutscenes where there's a scene change just stop at the change, then a couple of seconds later resume where they left off. It's loading something, but I don't know what. I'll see if retiming my ram does anything, I should be able to squeeze some more out of it.

Nintendo's biggest problem is that they don't realize what current year it is. They lack a LOT of features. And their excuse?
>"We are a gaming company. We believe a console should be for games, not media"
And this is why they are losing and will cont to lose for a long time until they add more games other than like 5 games and remakes of all the same games. The indie library is bad.

The biggest concern here is that Nintendo doesn't realize it's fanbase as well. You know who I saw at my Game Stop? People over 17 at least. I don't think a single person was around 16 or younger. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if everyone was at least 18. (considering I'm 25).
>>
>>59222355

Are you saying that I can run skyrim better than switch on my x64 phone?

>>59229632
Consoles being consoles and not media centers is IMO a good thing, but you're right about the remaking 5 games every generation trend. Mario party/kart/world 432 isn't as valuable as another metroid, or something new entirely. And indie games, 99% of the time, suck and should be remade in a different medium. Want to tell a story, make a movie, write a book, but think really damn hard before making a game.
>>
>>59229661

>>
>>59229665
We are in a decade that media is all around us social media, video, music and photos. We want these things and if nintendo is going to charge 60 a year for us then we better get a good deal out of this too. We don't even have a web browser in the thing so there's no real point of taking the switch to a coffee shop er something. Honestly, it's not a bad console as is, but the fact that they are limiting so much potential is sad.

as my friend said "Nintendo thinks like it's 1996 and can't get their head out of their ass"

Nintendo DOES know what they are doing as towards marketing but they are basing it off of Nostalgia. IE Pokemon. Pokemon is redoing the first few eps of Pokemon but longer to show Ash's journey starting with Pikachu but honestly, it's all for the 20+ year olds. The new fans (or younger) wont understand mostly.

So when you think about it, Nintendo doesn't care about what's new, they care about making money so we wont see anything really new cause they are afraid of a fluke. Lets just hope Mario odyssey and Splat2n are good. At least a newer IP is getting a 2nd game

Where's the benefit to taking out a nintendo switch instead of using a phone? Especially since the phone is more likely to have internet access and you can multitask over two screens. In-game chat being tied to phones was fucking retarded, but wanting to google things on a likely locked down and un-extensible browser is silly when you can use firefox on mobile, find the same stuff while your game is paused or whatever, and look at it without having to quit or reload or anything. It doesn't do anything that a more common device couldn't do better

Not true about reloading. They've not had this since the wii.
Even on the 3DS you can open the browser and have your game still run

what's even the point of this? Everyone I know is slowly moving to discord and even then, facebook group chat is a thing, so just make a group chat and make a call and BAM everyone's on board. I wanna know when the app is going to be out. I'll try it out at least.

>>59229744

>>59229777
huh, never actually bought a DS but good to know they've fixed their browser shit now. Can you install an adblocker or use custom gestures? Can you see both game and browser at once/one on tv and one on the controller?

The point of chat off a phone is to make quick parties with recent or temporary players you meet online. Why make a discord or whatever and have to copy it into game chat if there's a functional voice chat built into the network that everyone already has access to? Discord works for people already in contact with each other.

You can argue that Nintendo makes consoles for the enjoyment rather than muh graphics, but when you have massive frame drops even at HD resolution you have to admit the thing is too weak.

>>59222798
OP3 has the same performance as a 1000$ pixel. Not a good comparison... There are plenty of cheap snapdragon 820/821 phones out there.

Hardware wise. Very soon.

ARM emulation is much more mature and open, the system itself is even less powerful than a Wii U.

It's only a question of time for cracking Nintendo's code.
>>
>>59236144
>>59236183
Kek, think if they will make an emulator that runs on native ARM phones/tablets/gamepads.

You would be able to play BotW on a mediocre phone.

Nobody buys Nintendo for the third party games and you know it.
>>
>>59236263
GFlops is literary the unit to describe 3D horsepower.

Mind you that the other consoles on the chart also have games optimized for it.
Also, why do you think third party developers don't have the same access to hardware and tools, they are optimized as much as possible, specially 3rd party Nintendo games, because Nintendo's strict licencing.

The biggest fail here is that the FIRST PARTY Zelda game it has for it, that's not even graphically impressive if it was 5 years old, is so optimized for the Switch it plays at 20 frames at 720p (undocked) or 30 frames at 900p (docked).

Entirely depends on your PC, you could run the game at a 4k internal render resolution, apply custom shaders and different types of AA or AF. Even high resolution texture packs for some games and unlocked/higher FPS.

What I wanted to say is, clones that use USB, so you don't need an original controller or dongle.

lol fucking gay

just do mobile games instead nintend'oh
>>
30 fps is tolerable for slow video which has perfect motion blur built in because of how it was filmed. video games should run at 60+ fps especially if they have fast movements
>>
So how powerful is the switch compared to the PS Vita?
>>
>>59260190
if you're only comparing FLOPS (other things like memory bandwidth tend to be more important) then it's 51.2 GFLOPS (http://kyokojap.myweb.hinet.net/gpu_gflops/). the gpu in the ps vita is roughly in between the 3rd and 4th gen iPad. but ps vita has a lower resolution so it doesn't need as much gpu performance to run games on it. also performance doesn't scale linearly with more FLOPS.

This is big league, I don't expect emulators though.

Holy shit, ALREADY?

But given that people announced holes on Twitter, I guess that Nintendo will quickly patch them, right?

Nice.
Where did Nintendo screw up security?

Yeah I'm not independent yet. So this money does nothing but burn a hole. Might as well spend it.

Nobody said that you dumb fuck.

TX1 cranks out a whopping ~512 GFLOPS of FP32 but only if it runs at 1GHz like it does on the nvidia shield android tv box.

The problem is shitendo gender switch uses a custom downclocked TX1 that can barely run legend of link at 20 fps.

a nintendo swith mobile can run more graphically complex applications than a snapdragon 820 in a phone. that's just objectively true.

This. As Nintendo relies mainly on gimmicks as selling points for their consoles, once they jailbreak them you can use those gimmicks as you please.
There are some nice projects with Wii U Gamepad going around.

Leave it to a tripfag to instantly start fucking whining about the specs on a console from a company who never gave a shit about them, and has sold units because of the exclusives for the last *ten fucking years*.

/v/ needs you back.

You underestimate the value in chat logs. They could have automated crawlers go through everything, absolutely everything, that people are saying about stuff and compile market research data based on the people that use these chat rooms. I'm not entirely ontop of what it says in Discords' usage license, but I'd be surprised if they aren't already doing this.

It's not supposed to compete with big names. It's a Nintendo console. You buy it for Nintendo games and third party partnerships. Grow the fuck up if you buy things because it's "more powerful" than anything else. This is literally a dick measuring contest for the prepubescent and virginal.

Why do you even have a trip on? You're a fucking bonehead, dude. Nobody gives a fuck who you are.

you really think that any android game is as graphically demanding as breath of the wild? are you retarded?

Yes, it's not hard to crank out Candy Crush.

I think you fail to understand the PC/Mobile games are run so differently from console games. A PC will struggle to run Switch games. Hell even a spec'd out PC will struggle to run a PS4 game.

Also Piss 4 emulation is going to be easy as fuck now that they use x86 CPUs.

Meanwhle theres virtually no good games made for any platform in the Nu Millenium and historically the best games always have the least emphasis on graphics.

source on this? Switch homebrew would be god tier

I wonder if anybody could get the nvidia android games running on it. I miss having Warband on a portable.

not sure if you're being sarcastic. But I do agree with what you said. Take PS and Xbox. The big sellers are FPS games, they are all garbage. So do you actually have any good games? Other than Naughty Dog and Rockstar games. You really don't. Nintendo has never been focused graphics, so more effort is put towards content. Giving games that are far superior to what's offered on the competition.
