Switch Firmware 12.0.0 is Live, Includes Code to Update Dock

I hope it confirms Switch Pro as being a dock rather than a new system. A res boost and more power to enable split screen in docked mode would be nice.

If Splatoon 3 had splitscreen support on a pro dock, or Splatoon 3 bundle with a dock, game and a pro controller would be very tempting.

That would be an awful move. With their handheld mode requirement for games, just updating one side of the equation would accomplish nothing. It would effectively be the perfect waste of money that didn't actually move the Switch forward in anyway.

I think a new dock is genius. Most of the rumored upgrades allow 4K on TV and whatnot, splintering the fanbase is not a good concept. Yes, a new screen would be pretty on handheld, but it'd be nice to have a stopgap in the middle. Affordable for those who want to upgrade, missable for those who don't. And imagine if say the new dock has on-board memory? It could store the new 4K pieces of old games to save room on the system, or simply store games you don't need on the go.

Would be great if they released a switch 2 with new dock and you could buy the dock separately to boost current switch. Interesting times ahead.

This means new Switch have the new dock. Dock will make upscale 4K or DLSS, not the real Switch hardware. Yes better screen and other improvement but real deal is the new Dock. This is the good strategy from Nintendo. Old Switch hardware will keep run with this new Dock release.

Do you have a link to any of the info that you just said or are you just fully making stuff up out of thin air?

they need to fix the damn drift issues for the joycons before they make a new system tbh

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing24d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit24d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing24d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9223d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
