Nintendo reportedly showed a demo of the ‘Switch 2’ console at Gamescom which included visuals comparable to the PS5 and Xbox Series X.
The company is understood to have held private tech demos, ahead of an expected 2024 launch…

I feel like I'm in the minority when I'm looking forward to Nintendo making a high-powered console for once. The last time their hardware was on par with or better than the rest of the industry was the Gamecube, which was an amazing little system.
even then, the gamecube had mini discs instead of full sized ones, so games couldn't be as big
the n64 was behind in a similar way, using cartridges when cds were starting to become the norm
I dont think itll be high powered, thats just the reporter adding something for clickbait.
Im one to believe in Bobby Kottick mentioning that the Switch 2 is roughly the power of a PS4 as he was in contempt of the court when his leak of its performance was discussed. the handheld likely has better cpu performance though vs ps4, as its basically in the same playing field as the steam deck is, both companies who can sit and make thir 30% cut from developer games.
Tldr, dont expect Series S perf, expect steam deck performance with better battery and DLSS support to 4k (i personally believe itll target 1080p60, and use DLSS Performamce preset to upscale to 4k, as 1440p tvs arent common)
Honestly a handheld PS4 equivalent of the Steam Deck sounds nice too.
You're not. I've been wanting this since the GameCube, the last Nintendo system that was built with performance in mind and advertised as such. The Wii was a step in the wrong direction, and it was all downhill from there as far as my head canon is concerned. I'm glad that Nintendo is finally catering to fans like us again after waiting patiently for 22 years.
1.5 year edit: lol nvm
