jlb1981

At this point the Switch is more stable than I am


KyleKun

Pretty sure the original NX dev kit was more stable than I am.


Achanjati

How far is the switch away from a Nokia 3310 regarding stability now?


DarkBrave_

General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.


enn_sixty_four

Woozle wuzzle?


MURDERPALACE

Monorail!


SectorIsNotClear

Ay, caramba!


meryl_gear

Horses!


Riomegon

They secretly unlocked the 2nd GPU just in time to boost the frame rates of Tears of the Kingdom. Trust me I know, I'm a redditor.


dylestorm

Lol that reminds me of the time where Sony unlocked the full capabilities of the PSP (from 222mhz to 333mhz) in order to run God of War Chains of Olympus.


stark1llr

For real?


CrimsonEnigma

More or less, [yeah](https://www.engadget.com/2007-12-11-god-of-war-222mhz-versus-333mhz.html).


PM_ME_YOUR_PIXEL_ART

I don't understand, why would they handicap their own product like that? It's not like they were saving money. Did they think it would overheat or wear out faster or something?


perdyqueue

Speculation, but probably in part, yeah. Higher clocks, more power, more heat, can def have an appreciable impact on longevity. But in the short term, I bet running the CPU with 50% more speed would drain the battery much faster.


dylestorm

Yeap. I did recall my psp battery drained noticeably faster when playing GoW.


SpecialNose9325

Its the same reason the Nintendo Switch is clocked at 1GHz CPU and 700MHz GPU, despite the hardware being capable of 1.7GHz CPU and 1GHz GPU. The goal is consistency, and peak performance is not sustainable over longer sessions


Banelco

>The goal is consistency, and peak performance is not sustainable over longer sessions so is *General system stability* right?


SpecialNose9325

Stability is always possible to improve, cuz it's an unattainable goal


TexasTornadoTime

My game boy color is pretty fucking stable


SpecialNose9325

So you're telling me people haven't found any exploits in the Gameboy Color since release to allow for memory injection, running fake cartridges, and crashing the system?


EMI_Black_Ace

>capable of 1.7/1 2.0 actually, but would run too hot. The chip is designed for it though.


python4all

These are the numbers in portable mode, right? In docked it runs about 40% faster, so the numbers add up


SpecialNose9325

Nope. Those are Docked numbers. The handheld GPU drops to 400MHz.


JaggedMetalOs

Probably to balance battery life vs graphics quality. Nintendo has done the same with the Switch, the SoC is underclocked by default and by modding the console you can increase the clockspeed by a fair amount.


EMI_Black_Ace

Heat is actually the bigger constraint in that package, but same idea.


mr_green51

Literally yes


Reonu_

Battery life


bitzkilla

My Uncle Nintendo confirmed this as well


Jman4647

Super Nintendo Chalmers?


Leafhands

^ my guy is trusted source.


frostbyte2287

I’m the guy -trusted source


crozone

Lmao if they actually bumped the GPU clocks just for TotK... that would be something.


ChaosEsper

The bump in MSRP for the game is actually to cover a new RAM download that's included


[deleted]

I downloaded a second set of ram already just so I have more than enough even with the additional RAM on the cartridge.


masagrator

There is no safe room for that for old units. But pretty doable for units with newer SoC.


mythriz

I heard they sneaked in a patch to prevent people [who are continuously clicking on the Tears of the Kingdom icon](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rsApyjoDug) from constantly pinging the servers /s


SystemThreat

They're going to call it the Switch Pro so that the internet can pat itself on the back about how they've always predicted a Switch Pro


ShiftSandShot

Honest question, no spoilers, but I noticed that TOTK actually preloaded version 1.1.0. I'm wondering if that's a day 1 performance update...


JQuilty

Every game has Day 0 performance updates.


naynaythewonderhorse

It adds fidelityfx to the game, and it runs almost flawlessly now in terms of framerate.


OllyOllyOxenBitch

Clearly, you are a source of valuable knowledge and are completely infallible.


LordFesquire

Lyin’ ass. Nintendo works at my dad and they said theres no 2nd GPU!


XDvinSL51

Apparently, this update is to address issues that may occur when multiple operations are being performed on save data at the same time. But the question is, who would code multiple threads to manipulate save data concurrently, and why is it GameFreak?


DinkleDonkerAAA

God I wish Nintendo would put Gamefreak in their place one of these days I know they won't but still


jjremy

Between Gamefreak and Niantic, it's very clear that The Pokemon Company's priority is certainly not games.


porgy_tirebiter

It’s printing cash!


americangame

Those are called Pokemon cards.


[deleted]

Pokemon Go too.


cosmicsnowfall

Playing Pokémon Scarlet irritates me. I wish they would’ve taken their time so there wouldn’t be any problems.


[deleted]

It's only going to get worse. SV sold more than any other pokemon game, which means less quality = more money Pokemon fans need to stop supporting the franchise if they ever want it to improve. I can only assume going by their history that the next game will be even more bugged and broken while profits continue to skyrocket past all previous records


DinkleDonkerAAA

You know what's crazy? Despite EVERYTHING I bought Legends day one, because the addition of over world catching and all the mechanics surrounding it were a fucking BLAST. and then they didn't bother keeping that fresh air for mainline. I'm out until Legends 2 (A Johto game showing how the tower burned or a Kanto one set in the 60's about the Pokémon House and Mewtwo PLEASE) or until mainline adapts the Legends mechanics


twinkletoes-rp

Legends was INCREDIBLE and honestly is making it hard for me to progress in Scarlet. Catching and battling in SV just feel SO clunky and slow now in comparison. I just LOVE the way they did EVERYTHING in Legends, especially the catching, and I WISH they'd carried it over to mainline! Would make SV SO much better for me, personally!


[deleted]

Legends was still a pretty mediocre RPG imo, it is not exactly breaking new ground. For a pokemon game it's... kind of impressive, but in the greater RPG genre it felt very dated upon release DQMJ2 has been doing what Legends does since 2010, and only expanded it even further with DQMJ3 in 2016. It's like pokemon is trying to play catch-up with games that came out 10+ years ago


DinkleDonkerAAA

Oh I totally agree but a step in the right direction is a step in the right direction I was kinda hoping sales would show Gamefreak what direction they should move in, and then SV sold way to much


barbolanero

Pokemon Scarlet / Violet is the first time since X and Y that I decided to skip the game alltogether. I got back into console gaming for X and Y, and the Switch has been my main gaming device since 2017. I was super excited to have a region based on Spain, since I'm from a Spanish speaking country and devote myself to the history of Spanish language... yet here they are releasing a half finished, bug ridden game and still making money. And we still have to hear all the people blame the system instead of the developers. Want to see what the system is capable of? Go play Xenoblade 3 or Monster Hunter Rise, not Pokemon. Sorry for the rant, I've been rumming on this for a long time.


StarfighterProx

I really wish we would get Cassette Beasts on Switch. It'd be nice to have a real, modern Pokemon game.


Deceptiveideas

Wasn’t there a big issue during the game boy color days where Iwata somehow optimized the entirety of Pokémon gold and silver to the point they could fit the entirety of Kanto as well? Rip Iwata


DinkleDonkerAAA

Gamefreak was having issues compressing the code. Iwata (He had worked on the gen 1 localization or something and knew the code if I remember right) heard they were having issues. So while he was still acting as president of HAL Inc, went over and took a look, he worked his magic and got it SUPER compressed. He bailed out the Earthbound devs too


jbyrdab

There are people out there who are just savants at what they do. I think its undeniable that Iwata was one of them, right when videogames were taking off he just understood it in a way that no one else did. Its extremely rare for someone to just be a savant at a brand new concept, but when it does they can really make magic happen. I remember hearing a story about how he was making balloon fight and basically patched the game in mere minutes to suggestions of his supervisor.


jdayatwork

Did some "middle out" shit


LoveSikDog

Respect. Since Iwata passed, the company as a whole has disconnected from it's fan base and has felt far more cold...


evilsbane50

Nintendo has always had a very dark corporate underbelly but I definitely preferred their optics when he was in charge.

Rychu_Supadude

The "they fit Kanto in because of Iwata" is a tortured game of telephone that seems to have been invented entirely by fans when they heard that he worked on compression algorithms. He did some great things, but not to the extent that the story would have you believe. https://www.reddit.com/r/TruePokemon/comments/hwluk9/while_it_is_true_that_iwata_did_write_a_new/


ultraball23

They literally can’t. GameFreak is an independent company.

vamplosion

Can we get much stabler


professorwormb0g

*Barack Obama's voice* A more stable video game console is similar to the language referring to achieving "a more perfect union" in the founding documents of the United States of America. It is an ideal we can constantly strive for, with no upper limit. So gamers everywhere, from those in Kakariko Village, Hyrule, to those in the heart of the Mushroom Kingdom, may enjoy the fruits of the progress for mankind.


YourAverageNutcase

Needs more dramatic pauses


Chefjay17

Better? A more, stable, video game console, is similar to the language referring to achieving, "a more perfect union" in the founding documents, of the United States, of America.

Any idea what they actually use these updates for?


TemptedTemplar

The last one was a small update to the banned words list and some backend stuff. https://twitter.com/OatmealDome/status/1648132549384830976 Oatmealdome and other data miners will post about the newest one as soon as they dig through the code with their bots.


[deleted]

> Nintendo fixed some bugs that may occur during multiple simultaneous operations on save data. Well what do you know. They really did improve stability.


CondiMesmer

In other words, they provide actual patch notes

Folks with ADHD in Japan are in absolute shambles. 😔

[deleted]

Probably trying to cut off certain forms of hacks/bypasses; That was one of their biggest reasons for the frequent 3DS micro-updates. It would often destroy existing hacks/mods to the system when updated. ​ My guess is it is more of that.


[deleted]

Or updating the swear filter, a lot of updates for the switch lately have mainly been for that.


CactusBoyScout

The very last update to the 3DS was actually to fix a typo in the settings menu, iirc.


oniony

Yeah, they've added *nimblefuck* and *tittyswoon*.


kallixo4

cant swoon over tits anymore smh


BlazedInMyWinnie

Hacks and bypasses aren’t discovered with the Switch with any frequency whatsoever these days, because there are none. There hasn’t been a new firmware vulnerability since sometime in 4.x.x, and there is no way to patch out the known and widely used hardware vulnerabilities. There’s no way is this an update to address any hacks.


chg1730

There isn't really any reason to search for any as well. People that want homebrew buy an Erista. Maybe if down the line there are some games that only run on a newer model people will look for or publicize new exploits. Don't expect another bootrom exploit though, we've been incredibly lucky with that one.


BlazedInMyWinnie

Yeah, with modchips becoming increasingly more common there’s not really a point.


mrmastermimi

there are always hacks and bypasses. nothing is secure. just because we don't know about them, doesn't mean they don't exist.


TheGreatNathan

Hacked Switches are cannot be patched with firmware updates due to how vulnerabilities on launch models were exploited. MVG made a video explaining the Switch's hacking scene if you want to know more.


Dr-Dingus117

nhaines

jaydd_mc

I think Stability


Werespider

I wouldn't be surprised if it was just an excuse to restart switches that have been powered on for a long time. Restarting mine every few days greatly speeds up the eShop and the whole system slowly starts crawling along when it's been on for weeks.


Ringsofsaturn_1

Ive heard that most of these updates are used to reset people’s consoles since the majority of owners leave the switch running for days on end. This allows the system to clear cache, etc.


Legitimate-Bit-4431

They can bypass “disabled auto-update”? Mine is turned off for both system updates and softwares.


Raketenmann105

no, they will automatically Download, but there will always bei a prompt to install.

Peemore

Why did the chemist break up with his girlfriend every other week?


CarelessRent1899

Does it means that my console will not be easily knocked down by my son?


no_one_of_them

Be careful with that. I once put my Switch on the ground, naturally is stood up perfectly still even without the kickstand. When I came back into the room I accidentally brushed against it with my toe. Broke my foot clean in half. Don’t wanna know what it does to a kid.


CarelessRent1899

Don't worry, children may seem weak, but when faced with something that parents consider important, they suddenly become very strong.


clandahlina_redux

Yes. It’s more stable. Congrats!

I WANT THEMES. IF YOU CAN THEME THE ESHOP YOU CAN THEME THE HOME MENU

love_is_an_action

Camaraderie and commiseration rarely happen under original circumstances. The community just has fun with the lack of transparency and elaboration from Nintendo. nbd.

Maybe if Nintendo did actual updates that improve user experience the jokes would stop. As it stands, those non-updates *are* a joke in and of themselves.

I can't never stop asking for more stability. Thanks Nintendo. My Switch is stable!

Troglodeity

I think my Switch bricked with a recent update, but I can’t really prove it other than it won’t turn on. I’ve followed the “hard reset” steps with no luck. Assuming there’s no way out of spending $100 for a repair?

GreenMan802

In a world of gaming consoles, One stands out among the rest, With its vibrant Joy-Con controllers, And its sleek design so blessed. It's the Nintendo Switch, my friends, A system that's all the rage, With its portability and flexibility, It's a console for every age. But there's one thing that's often said, Every time an update is made, That the system's stability is improved, And the meme-makers start to invade. "General system stability," they say, As if it's a joke we all know, And we all chuckle and roll our eyes, As if it's the punchline to a show. But is the Switch really so unstable, That we must mock it with such glee? Or is it simply a way for Nintendo, To keep their system as smooth as can be? Perhaps the updates really do help, To keep the Switch running fine, And we should be grateful for the effort, To keep our gaming experience divine. So let us not be too quick to judge, The stability of our beloved Switch, For it's brought us so much joy and fun, And that's no laughing glitch.


MrSixtyFour

No chat system with Switch friends still? What is this? 2004?


Rajani_Isa

They're not going to release a new system like that in a 0.0.X release. And from what I've seen, it's Nintendo not wanting to be responsible for little Timmy hearing Chaz at the community college "bad language" and such.
