I played the 1984 Atari arcade I, Robot on Atari 50 yesterday. I never saw this game in the arcades. It's a cool arcade game; a fully rendered 3D polygons in 1984 is nuts. I would have loved it had I known about it sooner. I'm really looking forward to Minter's remake coming on April 17th now.
Now we learn Switch 2 has a 4k display output chip in the dock.
But didn't the OLED dock have 4k compliance?
"The chipset in the dock is specifically the Realtek RTD2175N-CG. Unable to find this precise model on the web, but I assume the RTD2173 is a predecessor. It’s being used in this adaptor,” the post reads.
Chipset: RTD2173
Compliant with DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI HDCP 2.2/1.4, HDR 10
Video Resolution: 720p, 1080p, 4K30Hz, 4K60Hz,4K120Hz (w/DSC), 8K30Hz and 8K60Hz (w/DSC)
Audio Support: 7.1-ch PCM
Bandwidth: Up to 32.4 Gbps
While Realtek hasn’t listed this exact chip on its site yet, it seems to be an upgraded version of the RTD2173, a chip that already supports 4K60Hz, 4K120Hz with compression, and even 8K with Display Stream Compression (DSC). The takeaway here? The Switch 2 dock may actually be capable of much more than what the dev kits are currently showing.
Still, nothing is confirmed yet, and it’s always smart to treat this stuff with a bit of skepticism until Nintendo gives the official word.
Poor Val. He's always been one of my favorites. Top secret, Willow, The Doors, etc. well those were just awesome movies. And if you guys haven't seen it for some reason, you need to watch kiss kiss bang bang. It's become a Christmas tradition in my house, even though it's basically a Christmas movie and the way that die hard is a Christmas movie. He's incredible, and it's pretty much the reason why Robert Downey Jr got cast as iron Man.
Insider Gaming is reporting that a developer told them at GDC that "at least some of the Switch 2 devkits don't have 4k output"
It's a bit weird that they're saying "at least some of" does this mean the other devkits do have 4k output?
Useless.
What's Nintendo music like? I have no Switch online.
So anyway, someone bid £100 for my old copy of Jet Force Gemeni.
And my bank is giving every customer £50 as a reward as they merged with another bank.
I also stored up amazon gift card balance from Christmas. Switch 2 is virtually paid for.
Then my car insurance is due in 2 weeks at £1700 FFS....
Must be alot to show.

An updated Pilotwings would be great but we need to keep the SNES tunes.
Val Kilmer passed away at the age of 65. R.I.P.
R.I.P. Loved him in Top Secret.
