That's what I wanted. An improved Switch. Waiting for the specs

Same here. Really hope it is more than what was rumoured, which was using some 6 years old tech.

What was missing from games 6 years ago that current tech has made possible?

Besides more leaves on trees, of course.

Solid 60 fps in Tears of the Kingdom would be great.

BoTW definitely struggles in many situations FPS wise... And thats running the same resolution I ran on my PC in 2008, but now on my 4k tv...

It's kind of hard to look past it at this point.

HDR, other dynamic lighting things like raytracing, and ability to have lots of characters on screen.

Compare any Mario game to Astrobot and you can see the difference.
