Ever since the Switch 1 Direct last week, Switch 2 info has been swirling a bunch once again. A little of it was due to things Nintendo, unintentionally or not, quietly confirmed after the Switch 1 Direct happened. Most of it, however, has been due to yet more rumors that have appeared. A lot of them are in regards to the console’s dev kits.
For example, Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson recently did an episode of the Insider Gaming Weekly podcast. There, Henderson reveals that “I heard this from one developer at GDC and also heard it separately in an email but the dev kits, or some of the dev kits, don’t have a 4K output”. It is worth noting that, if this is actually a thing, it wouldn’t automatically mean that the Switch 2 is not capable of 4K. Still, the Switch 2 Direct is in just a couple of days, so it won’t be long before we find out.
You can tell everyone is foaming at the mouth to find out new details lol
I mean, guilty as charged, I’ve refreshed this page a couple of times today already lol
Like a dog.
Happy Nintendo direct EVE!!!
But we already knew this. It has up-scaling. It’s not native 4K
I smell TMZ bullshizz!!!!!!
However, @zant84 DOES have a point. Even if the Switch doesn’t have native 4K, most of the games will be upscaled to 4K via DLSS.
You still need to be capable of outputting a 4K signal for upscaling to 4K to make any sense.
Supersampling.
FFS, can’t they wait until the direct?
Nintendo did mention that the sequel to the Nintendo Switch will have 4K gaming to improve quality of gaming products.
Of course it wont run 4k. The system is weak and outdated. Probbwly 480p and 30fps at most. Its gonna be a WII U flop again and will be fun to see it happen.
Yeah it sure seems like it. As usual.
How the hell is the system weak and outdated? You’re blind to the fact that the Switch 2 runs at 1080p in portable, 1080-1440p in docked mode… 4K upscaled via DLSS.
Sorry but I got to stay away from this website or anything that might spoil the direct, not that this particular article is spoiler. Even doing a new tab in my browser might bring up some possible spoilers.
Happy Nintendo direct EVE

Always their “I heard someone say in a bar…” nonsense.
I can’t wait for tomorrow for all this to end
Even at 1080 it will be a huge success. Games are what matter not the output resolution. If you don’t like it don’t buy it.
Cybiko > Switch 2
Unless there is something that upscales in the dock then there is no way the switch 2 will output at 4k. The steam deck can only just run most modern games at just above 720p at 30fps.
If the new switch does contain a chip derived from the tegra orin, the steam deck is largely outclassed…
It will be in the dock. The switch itself will be 1080p. This literally will probably cut down on cost due to the size being able to be bigger for that part of the board in the dock. It also makes the most sense. Why would anyone need a 4k 8 or 10 in screen? You cannot even see the pixels on a 1080 res at that size. Docked makes more sense.
I don’t care about 4K, 1080p 60fps is all I need.
Typical nintenturd
If true, the lack of 4K output on some dev kits is curious—but not a dealbreaker. Could just be placeholder hardware or Nintendo keeping full specs under wraps. All eyes on the upcoming Direct now!

Interesting! Some dev kits reportedly not having 4K output doesn’t necessarily mean the Switch 2 can’t do 4K – could be different kit tiers or software limitations. With the Switch 2 Direct just days away, we’ll finally get the real story. Nintendo’s always been tight-lipped until the official reveal.
Man, the anticipation is killing me! Even if the dev kits aren’t showing 4K right now, I’m still holding out hope for a massive jump in performance. Only a couple more days until the Direct, so we’ll finally know what’s real and what’s just noise.
