It has been alleged that Nvidia wants to be recognized for all the work it has purportedly put in on the Nintendo Switch 2. Along with likely sporting a custom Tegra SoC from Team Green, believed to be in the shape of the T239 chip, it seems the Switch 2 can also count on some limited DLSS 3.5 support to help it compete with the PS5 and Xbox Series X.
I think you mean ‘after the GameCube’.
And even then, the GC only sat as a middle-ground between the original Xbox and the PS2. Nintendo hasn’t explicitly tried to make a graphical powerhouse since the N64.
And only middle because Xbox was balls to the wall overpowered compared to the others.
I mean you may be right…but when I think of the Wii U, it was the last time we got AAA ports of games like Ninja Gaiden, Assassins Creed and yeah…even Call of Duty. Since the switch, because of the underpowered specs, not many AAA games have had competent ports (looking at you mortal Kombat 1 switch port) and most AAA quality is now only first party from Nintendo
Which is a good thing, because 99.99% of AAA games have been total shit for more than a decade.
