A YouTuber has come up with an interesting solution for a potential Nintendo Switch<\/a> 2 dev kit solution, but it will likely be too costly for anyone who fancies knocking up next-gen Mario Kart. In addition, a Nintendo executive has been talking about the company\u2019s future, with numerous sites pulling Switch 2 clues out of the context of the interview.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Fans are still waiting on tenterhooks for Nintendo to reveal news about a next-gen Switch console, with leaks and rumors about the Switch 2<\/a>\/Switch Pro\/Super Nintendo Switch<\/a> having been around for years now. With expectations reaching feverish proportions, one YouTuber<\/a> has decided to offer their solution for a Nintendo Switch<\/a> 2 dev kit: Use an Nvidia Jetson AGX Orin development kit. Unfortunately, these impressive pieces of hardware cost about US$2,000, depending on where you shop, and their potential utilization as an alternative Switch 2 dev kit is based on quite a bit of conjecture and rumor.\n<\/p>\n

It has long been believed that an Nvidia Tegra SoC would find its way into a next-gen Switch, with known leaker kopite7kimi stating back in 2021<\/a> that a customized T239 would be used in the Switch\u2019s successor. More information about an 8-core T239 was served up in 2022<\/a>, and there is even a reference to it in Nvidia\u2019s own documentation<\/a>: \u201cEach file\u2019s name typically incorporates its processor name (t194,\u00a0t234, or\u00a0t239)\u201d. These parts are linked to Nvidia\u2019s Orin<\/a> architecture, which is why a Jetson AGX Orin development kit could arguably play the role of a Switch 2 dev kit. But those seeing \u201cNintendo\u201d in the module<\/a> names like \u201cJetson Orin NX 16 GB\u201d should be aware that NX stands for \u201cNano Xavier\u201d here and is nothing to do with the original Switch prototype, the Nintendo NX.\n<\/p>\n

While those with around US$2,000<\/a> to spare might want to pick up a Switch 2 dev kit alternative and try to create Link\u2019s latest adventure on it, the majority of fans will have to wait for tidbits via media sources, leakers, and the company\u2019s own executives. In this case, the wonderfully named Nintendo America president, Doug Bowser, gave a wide-ranging interview to the AP<\/a> that left numerous sites<\/a> picking up apparent next-gen Switch clues, which seemed even more convincing when conveniently taken out of context. There have been exclamations of a confirming of the next-gen platform with Nintendo out to \u201csurprise and delight\u201d fans with the capabilities of the potential Switch 2 console.\n<\/p>\n

However, when placed back into context, the results are much more prosaic and unsurprisingly businesslike. Bowser<\/a> said that \u201cwe\u2019re entering uncharted territory with the platform\u201d immediately after talking about Nintendo Switch<\/a> sales and the upcoming \u201cstrong lineup\u201d of games. When he said \u201csurprise and delight\u201d he was offering marketing speak about the firm\u2019s goal as a whole, \u201cone of the things we look at always is how we can surprise and delight\u201d. The only thing he has to mention about a new Switch is that there is, \u201cnothing to announce on any future console or device\u201d. Fans will just have to settle for picking up the usual Switch 2 crumbs<\/a> from leakers and tipsters while Nintendo\u2019s officials remain tight-lipped about what is coming. <\/p>\n
