New interactive experience to be revealed for the Nintendo Switch

There are many features that Nintendo Switch owners are still waiting for on the platform, from video services to its retro gaming store. It seems that players won’t have to wait too long for the company to reveal its next move, as Nintendo is revealing one later today.

Despite releasing in March 2017, the Nintendo Switch has yet to see mainstay features that most modern consoles house, such as Netflix or even its own renown retro-gaming store, the Virtual Console.

Its latest feature, however, is pegged by the official UK site to be “specially crafted for kids and those who are kids at heart,” steering away from the expected features and into something more mysterious.

Tune in here on Facebook or at youtube.com/nintendo at 2 p.m. PT/ 5 p.m. ET to discover a new interactive experience for Nintendo Switch that’s specially crafted for kids and those who are kids-at-heart.

It will be game-related, rather than a video on-demand service, as Nintendo of Japan’s Twitter account revealed that it would be a “new play” experience for the Switch. This could refer to either hardware, software or something entirely surprising from the company, which does like to experiment with its fan base on a regular basis.

The impending broadcast doesn’t seem to follow in the same footsteps as the company’s usual Nintendo Direct announcements and will debut on the official YouTube channel at 2pm PT/5pm ET/10pm GMT.

KitGuru Says: Nintendo has a habit of announcing the title of new things without delving into detail until closer to its release, so whatever it may be, I hope we get a clear look at it before a long period of silence until launch. I personally think it could be a successor to the company's now defunct Miiverse or perhaps a new Miitopia. What do you think it could be?

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
