This morning, the Wall Street Journal reported,
今天早上,華爾街郵報報導了
-
that Nintendo is supposedly working on a new model
任天堂據稱已經開始在研發新的
-
of the Switch, dated for sometime next year,
Switch,預計最早明年夏季
-
possibly as early as summer.
會釋出
-
Now this is something
這是一件
-
that we have been long speculating about.
我們已經猜測很久的事情了
-
I feel like almost as soon as a half a year
我記得最早在原版的 Switch
-
after the original Switch came out.
推出的半年後
-
A lot of people were already wondering,
很多人就開始在猜
-
well, what would they do if they made a new version?
如果有一個新的版本的話會有什麼改變?
-
Whether that's a XL, a pro, a pocket,
不管是變 XL 版、專業版、或是口袋版
-
some kind of new version.
就是某種新的版本
-
What could they improve?
他們還能怎麼進步?
-
Now so far, based on what the Wall Street Journal
就現在所知道的,根據華爾街郵報的報導
-
is reporting the only thing
任天堂目前
-
that's really been talked about from Nintendo
唯一說明會改進的地方
-
is the idea of improving the screen
就是在螢幕的部分
-
with better LCD technology.
使用更好的 LCD 技術
-
The main two takeaways from it would be:
這個主要能帶來兩個好處:
-
potentially better battery life and a brighter screen,
可能可以延長電池壽命,也能夠使螢幕亮度更高
-
but those kinda changes alone don't exactly justify
但是這些改變都不算
-
an entire model refresh.
整個主機的更新
-
So let's talk about what other changes Nintendo
所以我們來談談任天堂在接下來新版本的 Switch
-
could possibly be making for a new Nintendo Switch.
還可以做出什麼改善
-
Now when we're talking about the Switch,
當我們在談 Switch 的時候
-
it's important to note that the Switch itself is really just
要特別注意,Switch 本身其實是指
-
the tablet portion of the system.
整個系統的顯示螢幕的部分
-
I know often times people picture it as one whole unit
我知道很多人在談的時候都會認為是在講
-
when it's in portable mode,
當它是攜帶模式時的型態
-
but really that's the Joy-Cons being attached to the Switch
但其實那是 Switch 裝上手柄時的樣子
-
and they're their own kinda separate thing.
而他們是不一樣的兩個東西
-
And that partially influences what Nintendo
而這也稍微關係著任天堂接下來
-
could potentially do with the new one.
可能會在新的版本做的改變
-
We'll get to that a little later,
我們等等再來談這個
-
but for now lets just talk about what kinda changes
現在先來聊聊也許未來能夠在
-
we could see happen with the main Switch body.
Switch 主機上看到的改變
-
First, we've already mentioned the fact
首先,我們剛剛有提到
-
that it sounds like Nintendo wants
任天堂似乎是想要
-
to give it a brighter screen,
有亮度更高的螢幕
-
but another possibility is a larger screen as well.
不過更大的螢幕也許也是他們的考量之一
-
Now, it's not very likely that
不過基本上他們
-
they'll increase the size of the Switch unit
是不太可能把 Switch 主機做得更大
-
itself because that kind of messes with
因為如此一來就會牽連到
-
the whole dynamic of having Joy-Cons
手柄要如何裝卸到
-
that can slot into the side unless they make
更大的主機側邊的問題
-
large Joy-Cons.
除非他們做一個更大的手柄
-
Then that's the whole thing with where new stuff
而這樣就會造成新的東西
-
doesn't match up to the old stuff
沒辦法套用到舊的東西上的問題
-
and that's just a whole issue
而這是一個
-
that I'm hoping doesn't happen.
我誠心希望不要發生的事
-
But assuming that it is maintaining
不過先假設他們會維持
-
the same general portions and sizes
一樣的大小和比例的話
-
it's still possible that we could get
還是有可能藉由縮減邊框
-
a larger screen size by reducing the bezel.
來獲得更大的螢幕
-
Because the bezel on the Switch is fairly large noticeable.
現在的 Switch 邊框其實非常寬
-
So it is something that we could see a little bit bigger.
所以這可能是我們接下來看到能改變的東西
-
Physically another possible change that I would
而另一個我個人很希望能看到的
-
personally love to see,
硬體上的變化
-
I mean once again, this has always been one
也就是現在 Switch
-
of the biggest nit picky arguments about the Switch
被抱怨最多的地方之一
-
itself but let's change the kickstand.
拜託改一下他的立架吧
-
Please. Somehow.
拜託,想想辦法
-
Maybe something that doesn't quite as easily break off.
來個比較不容易脫落的東西吧
-
I mean I know the idea is that if it breaks off
我知道他最一開始的想法是
-
it's easy to reinsert but if that happens
希望在脫落時可以輕易地裝回去
-
multiple times it gets the point it's
不過如果發生太多次
-
just this thing that doesn't set right.
真的就是這個東西設計不良了
-
Let's just. Let's just overhaul that whole system.
麻煩把整個系統翻修一下吧
-
Please.
拜託
-
Now, physically that's
接下來
-
honestly it on my end for requests.
這其實是我自己的需求
-
Like I said, I don't think we can do things
就像我前面說的,我不認為
-
like make it a larger or smaller body
能讓硬體變大或者變小
-
because then that gets into a whole territory
因為這樣又會變成另一回事
-
of actually being a separate system
變成跟現在
-
from the current ecosystem.
完全不一樣的系統
-
But there is some stuff internally we could change.
不過有些內部的東西是我們能夠改進的
-
For instance, I really would like to see
例如,我很希望
-
just a bit more power in the system.
系統中能夠有更多電量
-
I'm not talking about some kind of major overhaul
我不是在說要有什麼巨大的更新
-
or getting some kind of 4K supportive Switch.
或是支援 4K 的 Switch 之類的
-
Which would actually be really cool.
雖然這聽起來其實滿酷的
-
But, you know, something a little more realistic.
不過可以做一些比較實際的改進
-
I just want a little more power for the sake of
我希望能夠有足夠的電力
-
just smoothness for gameplay.
來改善玩遊戲的順暢度
-
You know, There's a lot of games right now
現在有很多遊戲還沒有辦法
-
that aren't fully optimized for either portable or home.
在攜帶模式或居家模式達到最佳化
-
There are actually games portable is great
有些遊戲在攜帶模式時很棒
-
and then if you are playing on docked mode
但是當你在居家模式時
-
you're getting small frame rate reductions.
就會有一些幀數降低的問題
-
There's other games where if you're in home mode
也有一些遊戲是在居家模式時
-
it looks great but if you're doing things
看起來很棒,但是如果手持時
-
handheld there's resolution drops
解析度就會降低
-
and just all kinds of issues.
等等之類的問題
-
So if we could just get just a little more power
所以如果可以有足夠的電力
-
to even out a lot of those issues.
能夠平衡一下這樣的問題
-
I would really like that.
我覺得會很棒
-
Now the other big question is,
另一個討論的點是
-
what happens to the Joy-Cons themselves?
手柄本身又能怎麼改進呢?
-
Are we going to see any kind of revision for those
如果會推出新版本的 Switch 的話
-
if there's a new Switch?
手柄會有什麼變化嗎?
-
Cuz once again we still run into the same problem
這樣一來我們又會遇到同一個問題
-
of if we want to make sure that
如果我們要確保
-
any kind of new stuff still works
新的東西能夠套用到
-
with older, current Switch stuff
舊的、現有的 Switch 上
-
they have to be roughly the same size still
那麼他們基本上大小就不會跟現有的東西差太多
-
or at least have the same kind of rail size
或是至少軌道大小是一樣的
-
to be able to attach to the side of the Switch.
如此一來才能裝到 Switch 上
-
But there is another limitation to worry about
不過手柄本身
-
with Joy-Cons as well
還有另一個限制
-
and that's Nintendo's obsession with the ability to use
那就是任天堂希望
-
them as their own singular controller when held sideways.
手柄橫握時可以當作是一個獨立的操控裝置
-
Cuz there's a lot of stuff that might make a lot of sense
在很多情況下,手柄在手持模式
-
when using the Switch in handheld mode
或是成雙使用時
-
or using a pair of Joy-Cons at the same time.
其實是很合理的
-
That doesn't necessarily make sense
但是當成單獨、獨立操控裝置時
-
for using a single Joy-Con on its own.
就沒有這麼合適了
-
Part of the reason why Joy-Cons aren't quiet as comfortable
手柄單獨使用起來
-
as they potentially could be is cuz Nintendo wants you
沒有這麼舒適有一部分是因為任天堂希望
-
to be able to hold them like this or like this.
能夠同時這樣或這樣握持
-
But if like I said they dropped the idea
但是我想如果他們
-
of having both those options available,
不要堅持一定要有這兩種握法的話
-
a pro option could offer a better
針對某一種握法進行改良
-
more contoured grip design that could make them
有一個更好的握持設計
-
way more comfortable in either situation
可能在兩個手柄
-
where using two at once.
同時使用時就能夠更加舒適
-
Something that is a little more unlikely,
另一個機會比較小
-
but I think may be possible is also adjusting the size
不過還是有可能的改變是
-
of the Joy-Con's,
調整手柄的大小
-
Once again you can't mess with it too much
一樣,這個東西不太能改變太多
-
cuz you want to make sure it can still work
因為他仍要能夠套用到
-
with modern systems.
現有的產品上
-
At least I hope that's something that Nintendo cares about.
至少我希望任天堂也是這麼想的
-
But all that really matters for Joy-Cons to slide on
不過基本上最主要的還是
-
the Switch itself is that the rail sizes match up.
手柄的軌道大小一致,讓他能裝到 Switch 主機上
-
So as long as the rails are right.
所以只要軌道的大小不變
-
You could potentially make a larger Joy-Con as well
還是有可能讓手柄變大一點
-
for those people that find the smaller size to
讓那些覺得現有手柄太小
-
just be way too uncomfortable.
握起來不舒服的人有多一種選擇
-
Now another big question is if this actually is happening
另一個值得討論的是,如果 Switch
-
we're getting a kind of revised Switch,
真的會推出新的版本
-
what is it going to be called?
他會叫做什麼呢?
-
Uh, Nintendo doesn't have a deep history of revising systems
任天堂在更新主體機型、系統這方面
-
when it comes to their main line consoles
沒有很深遠的歷史
-
but they have done a ton of revisions
但是他們在手把的更新上
-
when it comes to handhelds.
有很多經驗
-
And based on what we've seen in the past with those
而根據我們過往的觀察
-
there's really kinda two forms of launch Nintendo uses.
任天堂的新產品上市基本上有兩種方式
-
Either they take the simplest route possible
一種是採取最簡單的做法
-
and just call it something like
例如直接把新產品叫做
-
"The New Version" for instance.
「新的版本」
-
If this new Switch has nothing noticeably,
如果這個新版本的 Switch 沒有什麼
-
super different about it.
特別突出或不同的更新
-
They could just call it "The New Nintendo Switch"
他們可能就直接叫它「新的任天堂 Switch 」
-
and honestly, I'm leaning to that
而我個人認為
-
being the most likely answer.
這是比較可能發生的
-
However, something else that Nintendo has also done
但是任天堂也有其他種做法
-
is if there is any kind of major, significant,
如果有什麼特別重大、特別的更改的話
-
noticeable change they'll name it after
他們就會依據那個特徵
-
that specific change.
來取名字
-
Whether that's making it larger, calling it "The Switch XL,"
如果把 Switch 變大的話,可能就叫做「 Switch XL 」
-
making it smaller, calling it "The Switch Pocket."
變小的話,可能就叫做「 Switch 口袋版」
-
If it offers 4K they could call it "The Switch 4K."
如果變成支援 4K,可能就叫做「 Switch 4K 」
-
Any kind of combination like that depending on what
看什麼是最重大的改變
-
that most significant change is could influence the name.
就會以這種組合方式直接影響新產品的名字
-
Look there are a lot of things Nintendo could possibly do
有很多東西是新的 Switch
-
with a revised Switch.
可能會出現的
-
And I think everyone has their own little wish list
而每個人可能都會有
-
of things they would like to see
自己想要實現或是想要改進的
-
or think they really need to change.
小小願望清單
-
Honestly, personally I lean towards the idea that
事實上,我個人認為
-
I really think Nintendo's probably
任天堂應該只會做出
-
going to be somewhat minimal with it.
極小的改變
-
I don't think their looking to radically change
我不認為他們想要大幅的改變
-
the design of the Switch or how it works.
Switch 的設計或是操作方式
-
I think if anything we're just going to see things
我想我們應該只會看到
-
like better battery life, brighter screens,
更長的電池壽命、更亮的螢幕
-
hopefully larger screens, and just in general
或是更大的螢幕,基本上就是
-
some performance ups would be really nice
整體表現的提升
-
but we don't know yet.
不過我們也還不知道
-
We're running off very little right now
我們現在知道得非常少
-
and hopefully we're going to find out more soon.
而希望之後釋出的消息會越來越多
