The Shiren series has long been a niche one even among the Mystery Dungeon titles. It’s Spike Chunsoft’s own entirely original take on Mystery Dungeon that isn’t based on existing properties such as Dragon Quest or Pokemon and has long since been popular in Japan but not quite as sought after anywhere else. The last entry we saw localized was a remake in the form of Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fates which was originally a DS title before it made its way to modern systems. The newest title, Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island was originally announced as coming to Japan with no word on a localization. Fortunately fans no longer need to worry as we’ve finally gotten our confirmed English release for the title to make a splash onto Nintendo Switch next year. The new art style is no longer sprite based and instead entirely 3D models rather akin to the recent Pokemon Mystery Dungeon remake we had a few years back. This charming new take on Shiren seems absolutely packed full of life and is promising to bring back the classic gameplay and challenge that so many knew and loved it for.
Nintendo Switch 2 May Feature Custom NVIDIA DLSS Version; Specs Are Likely Finalized
19.09.2023 - 10:03 / wccftech.com / Nintendo
The Nintendo Switch 2 console may feature a custom version of NVIDIA DLSS upscaling technology, judging from a recent job ad from the Japanese company, which was discovered a few hours ago.
As reported by Doctre81 in a new YouTube video, Nintendo is looking to hire a Data Engineer to help with the integration of machine learning technologies on low-power embedded platforms. While this pretty much confirms DLSS support for the new Nintendo console, the job ad also provides some other interesting information, as among the tasks required from this engineer is the "optimization of machine learning models to fit power, memory and CPU budgets". This suggests not only that the Nintendo Switch 2 specs are finalized but also that the console may feature a custom version of NVIDIA's upscaler designed around the console's capabilities as well as other AI-powered tech.
The Nintendo Switch 2 supporting NVIDIA DLSS hardly required confirmation, as multiple recent reports revealed that the console was capable of running an updated version of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and the Unreal Engine 5 The Matrix Awakens demo at high resolution and framerates thanks to NVIDIA's upscaling technology when it was shown behind closed doors during this year's Gamescom. If the console features a custom version of the technology, it will be very interesting to see how it will compare to the regular version available for RTX GPUs and how it will work with the console's limited specs compared to those of high-end PCs.
The Nintendo Switch 2 has yet to be officially revealed. We will keep you updated on the console as soon as more come in on it, so stay tuned for all the latest news.
