As per popular leaker Nash Weedle, Nintendo is set to introduce more choices with its next console.

The leaker states that this information comes via a developer who has access to dev kits, and it is said that Nintendo hopes to keep the console gaming experience as user-friendly as possible.

Nash Weedle suggests that the console will allow users to prioritize power or battery life, with the former likely being needed for 60FPS gameplay. Given this choice, the Switch 2 might focus on more aggressive clock speeds for its SoC when prioritizing power.

This should introduce more choices for fans of Nintendo’s games, giving them more 60FPS titles across the board, similar to the PS5 and Xbox Series S|X consoles. Moreover, the choice could translate to 60FPS gameplay in docked mode using handheld graphical settings.

Nintendo already has a reputation for focusing on 60FPS for many of its first-party releases. Therefore, seeing how widely performance mode is supported on the upcoming hardware will be interesting.
