Switch 1 games can support dynamic resolution, it’s probably going to be used for higher end games on Switch 2 as well.

The problem isn’t getting enough computing power into the tablet, the problem is cooling and battery power.

I hope they at least allow gamechat to be used for free locally, and by that I specifically mean allowing the camera stuff to be active (like if you plug in a small USB C camera in portable mode, maybe even if you sit in wireless range but in different rooms)

It seems like there’s nothing special about the camera, hopefully you could use others.

The SD Express makes sense, they’re not just upcharging (you can use any manufacturer’s cards), it’s how they guarantee the storage is reliably fast enough for all games to prevent lag in loading speeds

But for the other accessories, sure. And charging for switch 2 edition upgrades is annoying.

If you’ve already noticed incoming traffic is weird, you try to look for what distinguishes the sources you don’t want. You write rules looking at the behaviors like user agent, order of requests, IP ranges, etc, and put it in your web server and tells it to check if the incoming request matches the rules as a session starts.

Unless you’re a high value target for them, they won’t put endless resources into making their systems mimic regular clients. They might keep changing IP ranges, but that usually happens ~weekly and you can just check the logs and ban new ranges within minutes. Changing client behavior to blend in is harder at scale - bots simply won’t look for the same things as humans in the same ways, they’re too consistent, even when they try to be random they’re too consistently random.

When enough rules match, you throw in either a redirect or an internal URL rewrite rule for that session to point them to something different.

The trick is distinguishing them by behavior and switching what you serve them
