In Cologne last month, Nintendo’s public Gamescom showfloor booth let you play Pikmin 4 and Super Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. …

- Update to a newer SoC; NVIDIA’s latest chips at this thermal displacement are like 4x as fast + would easily run PS4 games
- Upgrade the controllers to be more reliable + feel better
That’s pretty much it; the OLED model is fine as far as physical design + screen, it just needs more competitive performance and to fix the Joy-Con drift nightmare

PS4 quality games on a portable format would be amazing, and it’s just baffling how Sony missed the chance to do it first.

They did. It’s called the Vita and it’s still amazing even after Sony dumped it. I have one a friend cracked for me, and any game I could possibly want to play runs at a crisp 50 fps with no fluctuation. If only they had marketed it better.

I have one as well, but let’s not overpraise it. That handheld isn’t a “ps4 as a handheld” (obviously since the vita came out 2012 or 2011 cant remember which). And sadly it struggles to play its generation’s games (i.e. Borderlands 2 (one of my favs on vita) runs at 20-40 fps).
There are great games that showcase its abilities auch as the killzone game, but that was made for that system.
And let us not forget that it wasn’t a successful handheld. There is a reason sony hasn’t made a new handheld device since.

I agree, hall effect joycons SoC to something that’s less than two years old and maybe a little thicker for enough battery to match runtime and a tiny quiet fan.

Back compatibility is still key for me. If they support this at a minimum, I will buy whatever HW they decide to make.

Fuck yeah, I have dropped some serious bucks on their games (mostly on deals, ngl) so I want to keep playing them on newer hardware.

I’m sorry, did they say Super Mario Kart 8 deluxe? I thought the game was just called Mario Kart 8 deluxe? Or is it getting even more content. Because that would be fucking dope
