Trailer dropped today. Some people are saying that the Switch 2 is using Nvidia's DLSS tech. That allows underpowered hardware to renders games at a lower resolution while upscaling them so they look good and run smoothly. Also, the screen and controllers are both bigger which is good. I always thought the controllers were on the small side. When I would play Wii Sports with my kids it would be a little annoying. That excessory to turn your controllers into a full blown controller is going to feel odd in your hands and is hideous. I know the old version was terrible and this looks just like an updated version of that.

WIth the Switch, you just buy a Pro controller and be done with it. I remember liking Joy-Cons early, but after awhile, every pair has connection issues of some kind. I've got 3 or 4 pairs of joy-cons and just about all of them have some sort of connection issue. My Pro controllers work really well. This will be an eventual purchase, but I have a feeling the price point is going to be really high, especially since it doesn't have any other brand new consoles to compete with right now.

interesting. I only had a problem with 1 joy-con controller. The rest were flawless. Once I replaced the one I was having issues with never had the problem again. We just played it last weekend even though they have been sitting on the charger station for months. I figured we would at least have an issue with one of them. Nope. The pro-controllers are light years better than that accessory which feels awful and awkward in your hand.

That was one of the clips I think that drove people to believe they are using NVDIA'S DLSS. To me it makes sense. You can only squeeze so much hardware power into that small form factor even if it's on a much smaller screen.
