  • Whatever the Switch 2 end up as, I think people may be disappointed. Without some huge leap in battery and power efficiency, it’s going to be hard to keep something slim and relatively small while also making it much more powerful and having decent battery life. Just look at the handheld PC market. You can make something more powerful, but other things will suffer (size of you’re the Steam Deck, battery life and thermals if you’re the Ally). You could certainly make a more powerful Switch, but if keeping it small and somewhat battery efficient is important, the improvements to power wouldn’t be earth shattering unless Nintendo is sitting on some battery tech no one else has.





  • For bsnes, accurate uses more resources to emulate more accurately. Some emulators aren’t as accurate. They aren’t exactly 1-to-1 compared to SNES. That doesn’t mean they perform worse. In fact, it often means they perform better. But running better (or different in any way) means it’s a less accurate emulation. The other versions of bsnes and snes9x are less accurate emulators, but require less resources.

    From a practical standpoint, I’m not sure you’d even notice the difference between any of them. Snes9x takes significantly less resources than bsnes though. Unless accuracy is what you care about snes9x is the better option.





  • Like 6. It’s not that I didn’t like it. I really did. It’s just so daunting. I never felt like I was accomplishing anything. And I know that people really enjoy just wandering around and experiencing that game, but, for me, it was just too meandering, too open. Plus, I thought the building was more tedious than cool. Again, I get why people enjoy it so much, but it just wasn’t what I wanted to play at that point in time.
