digital code hey everyone I got a couple things I want to talk to you about today but first off it feels good to be back and you might notice some differences behind me but maybe we'll go over that more in a live stream or something later I really want to get into the news we have a couple cool things to talk about one of them is crisis remastered coming to switch it's coming by way of saber interactive who is working on all of the ports of crisis remastered to all of the various systems playstation 4 pc xbox one etc they're also working on the switch version and as I said they handled witcher 3 coming to switch and witcher 3 I think we can all admit is one of the most impressive third party switch ports so I think it's safe to say that it's in pretty good hands saber interactive is quickly becoming kind of like another panic button in terms of bringing games to switch so it's going to be interesting to see how this game performs on switch how it compares to other versions all that it's just another impressive port coming to a switch so that's cool but what I want to spend a majority of this video talking about isn't so much how awesome it is to see another amazing third party switch port come because that's great especially in an arrow or a really a time period when a lot of games are being delayed it's what nintendo might have cooking for a mid gen upgrade switch you know like switch pro or potentially next gen let's get into that and this news comes the way of games radar as you can see here it says a new switch with a second display is teased in the system's latest update so there was a brand new update to nintendo switch that came out in the past week added a whole bunch of new features and stuff to the os an operating system it didn't give us folders like we've all wanted for a while but um there's been some interesting stuff discovered in it and it says it looks like the latest nintendo switch system what they may include early references to a new model of console with a second display now the big thing here is that it still seems to be an x1 uh so a taeger x1 so it's not like a new chip that's why i'm thinking a mid gen or like a new type of switch i'm not sure here uh the references was discovered by seasoned system digger mike haskin who shared the results digging into switches new 10.0.0 firmware on twitter according to haskin the firmware adds preliminary support for a new model with the codename nx abcd and if you look at what it says firmware 10.0 and for limited support for the model nx dash abcd three of the five new d ram profiles are for this new hardware type and there's evidence a secondary display of sorts is being added exclusive on this model now the big news from that is nintendo's dabbled in two screens before ds 3ds uh are we gonna get a switch that has a fold out second display that is an interesting thing to kind of go back to that um or i don't know i don't know what else it could be to be completely honest um popping abcd at the end of old development codename for switch sounds like the most made up thing ever but it actually lines up with previously discovered codenames for switch and switch dev kits uh like the switch light was nx abca nx abca2 nx abcb and the nx abcc so it's actually um like right in line with what nintendo has done for codenames before um obviously uh the new switch model is that talk of a second display nintendo is an old hand of adding uh second screens of things but there's no guarantee looking at a ds or dual screen arrangement in this case it could be a smaller screen used for menus or notifications for instances a screen on the back so that people on the bus could watch you play uh you never know nintendo does really crazy things uh with their with their technology and their ideas now personally uh i i'm not that excited by the prospect of a second screen or an extra screen um you know even if it's just to like display little things um in a menu sort of way i i i presume if they're gonna do second screen it's gonna be a flip out screen but i i honestly don't want nintendo to go this route and i i hate saying this to all of you uh ds and 3ds fans out there which i am of one you mean i got some you know in in the background i got you know multiple 3ds and ds is just i i'm kind of done with that design i really like switch the way that switch is right now and i think you know in terms of any sort of mid gen upgrade if they're not going to really beef up the hardware which is what a lot of us i think hope they would do with the switch pro then i think what we'd rather see is just a more industrialized switch of a higher quality made switch product maybe one that even uses vapor chamber cooling and doesn't have a fan at all so get rid of a point of failure in the system so this more rigid joycons that are better designed uh without the plastic locks and without the joycon drift i think a lot of us you know could accept a mid gen upgrade that's literally just a more durable you know higher quality built nintendo switch but that's just not what we seem to be getting it looks like you know we might be getting more powerful hardware which you know has been rumored for a long time and it's hard to even imagine a switch pro at this point coming out this year after the pandemic and switches being sold out everywhere including in japan and so i don't know that uh any plans for that are happening this year and maybe that changes plans in general and all of this is for a next gen switch but then why would the references still be for a tiger x1 unless the next gen switch prototypes are maybe just using the tiger x1 as a placeholder for now the new tech is ready who knows this could mean a million things but the code name lines right up with all the code names they've used in the past for various variations of the nintendo switch from switch lights and the og switch and obviously the revised switches which is the switch i'm using right now has it's just like the original switch with longer battery life essentially that's the main benefit to consumers anyways there's some changes on the chip level as well to try to make hacking harder and all that but yeah i'm honestly pretty excited about any idea of new hardware at all this is really the first time since references to switch light that we have had any indication that nintendo is working on new hardware of any type officially within the software so this is really cool to see that the latest updates to switch the 10.0.0 update is clearly referencing something nintendo is playing around with and potentially getting ready to give to developers some sort of new model of switch that is something a little different the d ram profiles i think are interesting and that they're exclusive to that it could it could refer that there's going to be more d ram or faster d ram or something coming up in a new model as well so that could be a reference to higher specs although there's not really a different clock speed profiles so i don't know what's up with that and the it could be the x1 plus which is basically just a taker x1 that's just i guess bend and whatever better like it it's kind of like the 9900ks where it's like it's like the best of the best 9900k chips like guaranteed to run at a certain speed i don't know maybe it's something like that but i'm pretty stoked and i actually want to know are you guys like even excited anymore for any potential new switch hardware whether it's the switch pro with new uh you know upgraded beefier hardware better screen or if you're excited for this dual screen concept um are you know or are you just kind of happy with the way switch is with everything that's going on in the world all we really care about is just surviving getting through this together and then you know just having some games to play obviously i think we can all agree animal crossing came out at the perfect time and it's probably even though it was going to be a massive success it definitely helps that it's like one of the only major games to come out that in doom eternal uh all the doom eternal sales i guess i'm in that great maybe everyone's waiting for the switch version maybe that's the thing like because we know a switch version of doom eternal is coming so maybe that'll end up being a big seller who knows right now a lot of things are delayed the next game i'm really looking forward to is ninjala i'm gonna have a video going up on that i think next week kind of a my take on ninjala from when i played it at e3 a couple years ago combined with all the some of the new details we have for the game including that they're doing like a kind of a beta test sort of thing coming up at the end of the month that you know we can all kind of try the game out and it's free to play so i don't know there's something that i'll dive into next week so that's kind of the next big game big game for me anyways that i'm anticipating for switch but yeah i don't know a lot of people they're playing final fantasy 7 remake as well seen reviews pop up for that so people are really enjoying that darin actually just talked about it on the podcast yesterday there's no darin's just a buddy of mine from back in the zelda informer days who talked about it on the nintendo prime podcast be sure to go check that out if
