Oh no doubt. Series S performance would be nice but even that's a stretch. Still, it should be a big improvement.
Nvidia doesn't have an announced SoC that would be suitable for jack.
The only thing they have is an old (newer than the ancient current version, but old) SoC that is using their custom ARM cores from several years ago.
A Switch Pro that is the size of the larger version now but comes with a gorgeous OLED, OK. Maybe even some increased clockspeeds when docked from the current hardware? I mean, the CPU alone is severely underclocked so perhaps they feel like we can get some juice there, which would likely help smooth some struggling framerates in current games with minimal invasiveness and risk.
But Nintendo getting a brand new, unannounced custom SoC that has DLSS support (ie, enough tensor cores to make it happen) in a portable when the latest nVidia uArch has undesirable efficiency? And Nintendo jumping on a expensive near leading edge node that has notable power usage issues during a global silicon shortage is both risky and out of character.
On top of that, somehow this new SoC has perfect backwards compatibility to so you aren't wiping out the Switch catalog and games can be sold for both the Switch and Switch Pro.
This sounds more and more like a fanboys wet dream posted to a forum than anything resembling reality to me.
I'd love for a real console to finish Astral Chain on but I am not holding my breath.
Hardware means crap if it’s gonna be 3 years before we see Metroid Prime.
Ugh, does the end of the game run like crap or something? I only played a few hours of it but the performance seemed pretty good there.
Well it's pretty solid, but then I went and played Spiderman on the PS5. Sigh. Going back it's, comparatively, a low rez mess and when you are really in thick of the massive battles (which are pure platinum crazy) I feel like it is just not satisfying compared to how it could be.
I thought that was coming in late 2022?
It does look neat I just have no creativity for it. I never even made a level in SMM2.
Only game I have preordered for the Switch currently is Mario Golf so I have that to look forward to in a couple weeks. I'm thinking I'll have finished Ratchet and Clank by the time it comes out.
I haven't played a Luigi's Mansion since part 1 on GC, but that was the problem with it back then. It just got old pretty quickly.Several years late, I'm playing Luigi's Mansion 3- liking it so far, but I'm up to the 9th floor and the novelty is starting to wear off a little. Hunting for money and gems feels a little aimless when there's nothing to do with them.

I just have one question
Where is Metroid Prime? My switch is a dust collector now.
Exactly my sentiment.New 2D Metroid in October alone makes Nintendo's presentation the best of E3 by far
Something about Metroid 5 looked off to me. Like the animations and art style just didn't groove well. It looks like it was developed by someone else other than Nintendo.
I've had Mario Golf preordered for a bit now. Getting that at launch.
