The Nintendo Switch 2 will reportedly support backward compatibility and 4K resolution.
According to Mobapad, the eagerly awaited console will be able to play games made for the original Switch on physical cartridges, and will support a higher resolution when docked to a 4K monitor.
The device is also said to include an 8-inch 1080p display, giving gamers a nice bump from the Switch OLED, which came with a 720p screen.
As well as these upgrades, the company — which sell Switch accessories — claimed the upcoming device would come with Joy-Cons that feature magnetic suction, allowing users to quickly snap on the controls when the console is in handheld mode.
Other rumors about the gaming device pointed to a handful of significant upgrades over Nintendo‘s previous models.
In a report from Moore’s Law is Dead, the publication claimed the Switch 2 would bridge the power gap with the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X due to a new NVIDIA Tegra T239 chipset.
The outlet also said that the device was expected to ship with a relatively weak CPU, though would be able to keep up with Sony and Microsoft’s consoles through NVIDIA’s “deep learning super sampling” technology, which would maximize image quality while retaining a smooth gaming experience.
Another report from the Japanese publication Nikkei claimed that the Switch 2 would come with 64GB — double that of the OLED — and a $400 price tag, making it $100 more expensive than Nintendo’s previous consoles.
