I'm kind of bummed about this, the game already has a ton of content but BoTW had some great challenging DLC and ToTK would have definitely benefitted from something similar.

According to the 2022 Nvidia leak, the Switch 2 uses a custom chip named the T239 Drake, based on the T234 Orin. Still unclear as to whether it'll use Ampere or Ada Lovelace architecture, but given that the recent VGC report said just DLSS and not frame generation, I think it's more likely to be the former.
Yeah I'd bet on Ampere for sure, Nintendo is still gonna go with the old tech. Lovelace wouldn't do much unless they wanted to do heavy ray tracing and I don't think they do. I think they're interested in seeing what they can do artistically with raytracing but don't care enough about it to go all out.
The only thing I can guarantee about the Switch 2 is it will be on ARM and it will have DLSS. Or in though? That seems fuckin massive for a mobile chip. Yeah it'll get cut down, but there are a lot of aspects of Orin that seem like they'd be overkill for Nintendo. But then again, I think Nintendo wants to stop people from emulating their shit and making a sequel switch overkill powerful would do it
The point where the buck stops is price. I can't imagine a casual and family focused company like Nintendo would want to charge more than $400 for a system, while remaining at a profit.
