With just over a month to the Nintendo Direct of April, new information about the Nintendo Switch 2 continues to circulate. According to recent leaks, the new Nintendo console should have significant advances in performance and image quality. One of the highlights would be the LCD screen with 120Hz upgrade rate, HDR support (high dynamic range) and VRR (Variable Update Rate). This would represent a great evolution in relation to the current generation.
The information was released in the Famiboard Forum by a user known as Secretboy. He gained notoriety by correctly anticipating technical data from the device before his official presentation in January. Now, he states that Switch 2 will offer a more fluid and visually better experience, especially in portable mode, thanks to VRR support and high update screen. These features help minimize frames of frames per second (FPS) and make the gameplay more stable and responsive.
Technical details indicate improvements in portable and dock mode
According to the leak, the console should deliver about 3 graphic performance TFLOPs when coupled to the dock. Already in portable mode between 1.4 and 1.5 tflops. The difference between the modes reinforces Nintendo's commitment with consistent performance even outside the base. This is something that represents a technical challenge for hybrid consoles. If confirmed, these specifications would place the new device at a higher level than the current model. Thus, closer to competing platforms released in recent years.
In addition, previous speculation already suggested the inclusion of NVIDIA DLSS technology that uses artificial intelligence to improve games resolution without compromising performance. Although Nintendo has not yet confirmed the presence of DLSS, a patent recorded by the company points to the development of a similar technology, focusing on optimizing graphic processing. Practical application of this feature may be decisive to maintain visual quality in more demanding titles, even in portable hardware.
Price and Launch of Nintendo Switch 2 follow no official confirmation
Despite the growing expectation, Nintendo has not officially revealed the complete specifications of the new switch. The event scheduled for April 2, during Nintendo Direct, should be the stage for the final presentation of the console. Market analysts point out that the starting price of the device should be around US $ 400, the equivalent of approximately R $ 2,280 at the current price, without considering taxes and import rates. If this amount is confirmed, Nintendo will adopt a price range similar to that of its competitors, suggesting a more aggressive bet on the global market.
Until then, the information released remains in the field of rumors. However, the reputation of sources such as Secretboy, coupled with patent records and recent movements of the company, indicates that Nintendo Switch 2 may represent a relevant technical leap. Focus on image quality, performance stability and resources in portable mode points to Nintendo's strategic repositioning, which seeks to keep its hybrid proposal without giving up a modern and competitive experience.
